Haunted Duke’s Daughter

Ninety-three.

The room was given one room at a time. Lilia’s room, in particular, is spacious, which in turn is well cleaned in every corner. Whether it’s in the corner or not, one dust hasn’t fallen. It’s something I’ve done so far so often, I even remember awe.

– By the way, the last time I came, I went all the way to the corner of the room to dust with my fingers and scatter them with my breath all the time.

– Oh…… I remember doing it, you know…

– So, I said. Where did you clean it? I’m not prettier. Do it again now.

– Oh…… I said, wow…

– What do you think?

– It sucks…

Sit at the chair and sigh deeply. I found that the maid who was coming into the room with me trembled frighteningly.

– Sakura. Could…

– You reacted to the sigh. I thought you’d be pissed off.

– I can’t believe I’m mad at you for no reason…

No, trying to say, but Lilia sighed again. My maid is shivering as much as I feel sorry for her, but now I can’t help but care.

– You remember being irrationally angry… I wonder what I was doing……

– Reflection matters. But dragging is not a good idea. Let’s hang in there now.

Lilia nodded heavily at Sakura’s words.

After finishing packing, Lilia leaves the room. The maids came out with them and waited a little further from Lilia. Think about it a little bit and I also recall why this is.

– Call me, you’d be mad if they waited a little.

– You suck!

– I’m aware of that…

The more I recall, the easier it becomes to my actions in the past. I used to have that attitude back then. It may not be possible to regain the credibility of a servant working in this separate residence. I even think about that.

– Lilia.

– What is it?

– You don’t have to feel too bad. Just do what you always do and you’ll be fine!

Sakura’s words have no basis whatsoever. Yet I have a strange sense of security, either from my previous relationship. Lilia took a small, deep breath and loosened her cheeks.

– Right. Let’s do what we always do.

When Lilia said that, I could see that Sakura laughed satisfactorily.

– So, what do we do now?

– Right…. may I do what I want?

– I don’t think so. Do what?

Lilia looked back to the maid waiting a short distance away. The maid shook her body frighteningly, but without moving any expression, she stares at Lilia. Lilia asked the maid.

“Where is the study?

“Is it a study? Um, now I’m collecting the paperwork in that room at the behest of Master Cross, and I’m entering…”

“You don’t have to worry. I won’t do anything. I’m just trying to borrow a few books.”

With that said, the maid seemed to have been patrolling, but eventually bowed her head to fear.

– Is that also the book you want to read?

– That can’t be true.

Following the maid’s guide, Lilia heads to the study.

And the room that was guided was the same size as the room that was appreciated by Lilia. However, it feels smaller than a normal room because of the lined bookshelves on the walls. Behind the room was a large desk, stacked with books and paper.

Lilia took out a pile of paper as she approached her desk. It has some number or formula written on it, but it is very difficult to see because it has not even been calculated if it has not been typed. I took another one and it still looked the same.

– If you look at this, you’ll see how hard it is for your father and brother.

– Pull out the numbers you need from this paperwork, put them together, and finish up with a decent paperwork, right? It’s natural to make a miscalculation.

If at least the people who make these were a little better, the burden on my father and brother would be less. I just feel a little sympathetic.

– How long will it take if I leave it to your brother?

– Come on. It seemed like we were looking at a week.

A week. I just feel a little longer. It’s about Tina that I think about. He won’t say anything in person, but he’ll still want to spend as much time with his family as possible. It’s just Lilia’s prediction, but I think I can help a little if I think so.

Turning his gaze toward the maid, the maid looked anxiously at this one. Return the paperwork to the paper pile and head to the bookshelf. When I took out one book appropriately and looked inside, it was a book with a fairy tale collected.

– How could something like this be in the study…?

– I guess it’s to make young Lilia read it.

– Oh, really? I wonder if I can remember it if I read it.

– I’m sorry, I said it appropriately.

– I thought so.

Sakura probably came to Lilia when we first had the conversation a little over two years ago. I don’t think you know Lilia’s childhood. However, I don’t deny that there were some thoughts that might have happened.

I decided to take this book because I had it in my hand.

“I’m going to borrow this. I’ll give it back before your brother gets here.”

“Yes…… I’m awed.”

The maid who heard it gave a relief look, and Lilia sighed inside wondering if she didn’t have that much credibility.
