Chapter 54 - A big family! (1/2)

Ch 54 – A big family!

My favorite potted plant was brought to the entrance.

When I was looking at the empty pedestal where once before was the vase on it, my conscience was always hurting, but the potted greenery filled the space and healed my heart.

In addition to this, I have been using flowers in that vase for a long time, so the greenery now has increased the refreshing feeling of a welcome after a long journey and it has become a very warm entrance.

Looking at it from a little distance,

“The greenery gives a good feeling!”

Looking up at my husband standing by my side,

“Yes, I’m glad you were happy.”

He squeezes his eyes in a soft smile. How dangerously beautiful.

Then, after going to the dining room and having breakfast, I sent off my husband as usual.

After seeing him off, I immediately change into the maid uniform. Ohh, so long passed since I last used it.

I decided to polish the silver cutlery in the kitchen today. Clean is the best! If I polish it with a polishing cloth, it gradually reflects the surroundings like a mirror. I’m glad to see such a change, but I can’t just do the cutlery alone, there’s the silver dishes and trays to polish too.

The maids entered while I was putting all my strength into polishing the trays,

“Please let us help!”

“Oh, Thanks so much!!”

I decided to work while chatting with them.

“Master seems happier these days.”

As I was working happily, I heard the girl’s comment. I was staring with doubt at the girl who spoke that comment without thinking. Could it be true? Remembering about the entrance potted plant, I realize that it must be true.

“Really? Oh, is it about the new greenery at the entrance? He must have casually encountered that plant in the garden…”

Oh, did I just see someone making a face like seeing an idiot while looking at me?

It’s making me blush!! They don’t believe it!!

“Master heard about the incident with the vase and went looking for Dhalia, Mimosa and Lotus asking what could he buy that you would like to replace it. When he told them about buying a new figurine for the vacant place, Lotus refused saying you would not like that, and he was seriously consulting what should he do instead.”

Oh, please don’t smile at me as if you’re enjoying watching this!! It’s making me blush!!

Certainly, my husband’s offer was refused correctly. Because it’s my husband we’re talking about, it’s expected that he wants to buy a decoration so expensive that it would impress. I am the one who broke the vase, but I must definitely prevent wasting cash!

“Did he ask Dahlia? What did she said madam would like?”

Another maiden working with us said.

“Madam’s favorite? Something that is not flashy or expensive?”

Surely!! They can express what I like in one word.

“But it must not be something plain.”

“Yeah!! Cute and warm!”

The maidens said following my remarks, and the others strongly followed. Cute and warm. How true!!

“Madam changed the house in various ways, so the house became younger and brighter.”

“It’s also lively now.”

“Madam is an indispensable presence for this Duke’s house!”

“You’re exaggerating!!!”

Lunch time came.

“So many people today!!”

I looked around the servant’s dining table and there’s so many people! The maids who always eat together, the gardener and Bellis!

The reason why the population density is more than twice the usual this time, is that the the shifts system coincides for everyone and they gathered here.

“Occasionally, gathering like this is good.”

Lotus exclaimed.

I always eat with the maidens, but I have never been when everyone is present. This is really extraordinary. Will it become a banquet now?

“Someone’s birthday?”

“No. That’s not the case. Let’s say we just want to have fun.”

Lotus smiled at me.
