Chapter 45 - Invitation (2/2)

“That of course is a date! D . A . T . E!”

“Haaaa? A datee?!”

Mimosa draws near in high-spirits to me who is sitting on my usual position on the couch.

“That is right! He said to polish you more than usual? Aah, I am already excited~! What dress shall it be? Let’s conquer the easy mobility and battle for a young mistress like neat and tidy style. Aah, I must urgently convene the esthetic troops as well! We have to show the world that our mistress is this beautiful!!”

Mimosa makes a tight fist and gives an impassioned speech. Uh, someone please stop her?!

“Wait, Mimosa? Please stop the esthetics and such in the morning?”

My wish was in vain, nobody stopped so I stopped her myself but it seems my vectoring has turned her in a different direction,

“Well, if it so no good in the morning let’s do it now!”

“Eeh? Ah, Mimosa?! Mi–mo–saa!”

It looks like my detaining voice is not entering the ears of Mimosa who has exploded with a wild idea and ended up flying out the room to urgently call the esthetic troops.

She ended up leaving~

I watch the back of Mimosa as she hurries out the room,

“When it comes to Mistress, Mimosa puts in her utmost effort so please let her do this”

“Huh, that?!”

Dahlia says with an ironic smile but is it not actually something like ‘let’s make you pretty for the Duke’s sake?. Somehow I end up giving my consent though……

.

And then after a short time Mimosa returns with the esthetic troops in order to polish me into beauty. Thanks to that I sleep soundly.

The next day,

“Wa~, my skin is like mochi~! silky~!”

“Indeed, indeed!”

I end up staring fixedly at the mirror in front Mimosa who has a smug expression.

Today the Duke wakes up on time and we eat breakfast together, and we go out after the preparations are done.

For the sake of today’s outing Mimosa has selected a light Violette dress. The clean design shows my very thin body in a neat and tidy way! It is not a party or tea party so, there are no accessories or anything extravagant, but there is a beautiful choker of a gradient violet jewel. My hair is not all up, it is in a half-up style.

It will be brief but the young wife with elegance floating everywhere is complete!

“Of course Mimosa is amazing~!”

While looking at myself, it is like it is another person on the other side of the mirror, let’s award bountiful compliments to Mimosa, who is behind me!

“It is because the origin is very good. I only helped a little,”

Mimosa says smiling across the mirror.

.

In the entrance way the Duke is already waiting.

Today the Duke’s chic outfit is black shirt with a light grey jacket, white culottes with boots the same grey as the jacket. His usual knights uniform is dreamy but today his civilian clothes are simple therefore they further promote the Duke’s splendidness. The beauty of his well-built body is thoroughly conveyed through wearing clothes with a tight silhouette. Unlike me, whose figure is covered by her dress. *kusou* I am sulking.

The Duke discovers me who is a bit swayed by his beauty,

“Aah, today as always you are even more beautiful! I am completely outshone,” he says with a smile but, during my sulking, I unintentionally end up retorting in my heart ‘liar! It is me who is outshone!’. Well, after all it is my inner voice though. It is not like it reached the Duke,

“Sa, well then shall we get going now?”

He approaches happily, giving me his arm for escort. Although I am dubious ‘what is this’ at the treatment that has never happened before that I am receiving,

“Yes”

I obediently put my hand on the arm that is held out.
