Chapter 49

[The Duchess Of Rosia -A Contract Marriage?] - Ch 49 A new debt?

I returned to the mansion after a brief visit to the annex building with my husband . When we entered the main building, all the servants greeted us in the same way as before . It’s very embarrassing to come back hand in hand, but my husband doesn’t care at all . Even if I pull my hand away, he doesn’t release it . He seems obsessed with taking my hand .

"How was the renovation?"

Mimosa and Lotus asked .

“It was very good . ”

I answered

“If you say so, it’s worth the advice . ”

They narrowed their eyes joyfully .

After finishing dinner a little later than usual, I decided to go back to my private room and started reading the book that I borrowed .

“It’s amazing, both Dahlia and Mimosa . I think I never would have known how much I liked books if it were not for your advice . ”

I looked back at Dahlia and Mimosa while showing them the book I got .

“We got the impression that you would like it, from the casual conversations we had everyday”

First-class, observation skills! Your eyes are so sharp!

"Looking closely at your cooking… Pastries books would come handy"

"You like gardening . . so plants books are a must . "

I see . There were a lot of hints in my usual behavior!

"What about the mystery books and stories?"

"Don’t you know a lot of stories that sometimes you share with us?"

Oh, was that the case? Well, there is no complaint at all because I loved it!

“There were a lot of interesting books . Thank you . ”

"Please thank your husband . "

Dahlia said casually with a smile .

" I'm going to sleep today after reading this book . "

I felt like I wanted to read it, so I went to bed with the book in my hand .

"Please read moderately"

Dahlia paid attention to the bedside candlestick .

“It’s okay . ”

I’m tired anyway .

"Now, good night"

"Good night"

After the greeting, the two went out of the room, so I read the book while sneaking into the futon .

At the end, I broke my promise . I ended not sleeping from the joy of reading .

My eyes were red and irritated at the light of the morning sun . It's always a gentle push to start the day, but today it feels like a transparent knife .

I woke up at the usual time, but I was completely exhausted . Almost no sleep .

I ended up reading books all night .

I was fascinated as I turned the pages . When I think about it, a mystery book gives a twisted feeling that always intrigues you until the culprit is known in the end . Instead of making me sleepy, I couldn't sleep until I reached the end where the criminal is discovered .

However, I thought it was not good to sleep at daytime, so I got up as usual and got out of bed with the face that I had . Everyone worried and I staggered . How bad, to be seen like this .

"Good morning . . . Mistress? Did you sleep well yesterday?"

Dahlia's eyes don’t move from my face . She asked me with a little scary voice .

"I was a little crazy about the book . . . I'm sorry ~"

I apologize with a small mosquito voice and feel like answering to my mother .

She sighed .

"It can’t be helped . Please lie down a little after breakfast? For now, let's fix it with makeup . You can do it, Mimosa?"

"Of course"

I instructed Mimosa from sideways . Uh, I'm sorry I won't do it anymore .

I had breakfast with my husband and went to see him off at the entrance as usual . As expected, I took distance from my husband, so I was able to hide it by using Mimosa's special makeup .

When I returned to the salon, I was suddenly attacked by sleepiness .

"Kya! Mistress?"

"Are you okay?"

It made a very loud noise as I fell at the entrance floor . Seriously servants . I’m sleepy, that’s all .

"??"

I can't get up from the sleepiness .

"Mistress! Are you injured?!"

As soon as Lotus rushed to me, they moved me from there . the pieces of cracked porcelain were everywhere scattered all over the place . It was dangerous . . . yeah? ! While holding my head sluggishly, I suddenly realized that I had broken a very expensive and important vase .

What to do now?!

Alarms kept ringing in my head… Another debt to pay off…

“Wow, what should I do Lotus! I broke a vase that seems so important and expensive!!”

I had a panic .

Lotus instead, checked me for injuries .

“It’s okay . That’s just a decoration . It’s good if the Mistress isn’t injured . ”

She kept calming me with a gentle voice, but for me it was not “just a decoration” . I always saw the servants treat it with extreme care when cleaning it! ! Of course it’s a luxury item . What does it mean to break it down due to lack of sleep??

“No, no, I know that it’s not just a decoration!! What should I do??”

I have always been careful! How could this have happened!

"Please calm down, mistress . Let's go back to the room . "

Dahlia comforts me while gently stroking my back, but it's not very effective because I know I will have to pay it .

When I returned to my room, my knees went soft .

“It’s not a heirloom or anything like that, so you don’t have to worry Mistress . ”

Dahlia once again spoke to me reassuringly .

“That's not true . I heard that everything in this mansion is important and luxuries!”

Employee information I heard when cleaning .

“But the most important is that the mistress didn’t get injured”

"Oh, I should have shielded with my body and prevented it from breaking! But all thought is useless at this point . . . a compensation comes now . . . I wonder if I can pay it . I cleared my debts and obtained new ones .

I can’t even hear the voice of Dahlia comforting me anymore .

“No way, please calm down Mistress . ”

Mimosa's voice is not heard .

"How do I compensate . . . ? With work? More than I’m doing now? I can even downgrade to being in servant's room . "

When I was thinking about how to compensate for it, Lotus came up to see how I was .

“Mistress, you don’t have to worry about that . Of course, you don’t have to pay for it . ”

Lotus said, laughing at me who was still depressed .

“But, but . . . ”

“How about it? Why don't you go home and visit your family? If you are at home, maybe your mood changes and you manage to calm down?”

Lotus proposed . But even that suggestion, sounded like an expulsion for me .

"Oh, you are sending me home . . . "

“No mistress . After visiting your home, you will come back here . ”

Lotus explains slowly . He emphasizes that I’m coming back here after the visit .

" . . . Okay"

I don’t believe a word of it but I nod anyway .

For the time being, I will return to my parents home .

"We’ll pick you up soon . "

Lotus's words, did not enter my ears, which were completely closed from the shock .
