Chapter 54

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 .

“Wow, so fun!!! Well, what is for lunch today?”

Let’s stop thinking . It seems very fun to eat with so many people . I wait for the dishes to come out with a little excitement .

As I wait while looking into the kitchen, the food came!

“Today we have a whirl-style pasta!”

Saying that, they brought the freshly cooked food . The cook, doesn’t forget winking if I see his eyes, but since my husband issued the “Viola Contact Prohibition Order” the other day, there is no more skinship . It is… a little lonely?

I look into the plate while digging in with the sharply polished spoon and fork in my hands . The fragrant herbs stimulate my appetite .

They decided to bring all the dishes at once so all the dishes were spread in the table .

I have always enjoyed eating with the servants, but today more than usual .

“Take the sauce!”

“Here’s lemon!”

“Delicious!”

Etc . . It looks like a popular dining room . The atmosphere is fun and relaxed,

“We’re glad that you’re having fun . ”

Dahlia smiled .

“Yes, it seems like we’ve become a big family . ”

The laughter resounds at my statement,

“That’s right madam”

Dahlia narrowed her smiling eyes .

After lunch .

“Madam, we received delicious sweets from a merchant that visited recently . Would you like to have some?”

“And…”

“Delicious herbal tea is in already . How about it?”

Mimosa and the others proposed .

It’s hard to refuse if they recommend it, so I had the sweets and tea, and became full for the day . Oh, I’ll become a fatty if I continue like this, but it’s okay!

“This flower has bloomed beautifully”

I was too surprised when seeing a fieldless flower that had no name in a cute decorated package arriving at me .

“… What’s today? What happened?”

I was on the sofa in my private room lying down, when this happened .

“Nothing”

Dahlia is laughing .

“No, no, that’s not true . I’m sure I’ll be kicked out!! So many strange things are happening… like a goodbye feast?”

Everybody usually is very good to me, but today is unusual .

Afraid of the conclusion, I close my eyes .

“That’s not the case . Everybody is happy that you returned . Rather, while you were at your parents home, we were worried about what to do if you didn’t come back… So now . . we’re extremely happy . “

Dahlia exhaled and then gently stroked my back .

“While I was in my family’s home?”

“Yes . Is your family okay?”

Dahlia smiles gently while asking .

Is that so? Oh really? I’m a little happy .

“Uh ~ I’m glad to know that you worry about me! I won’t leave without telling everyone first and deciding together!”

It is a powerful declaration!

“Yes, please do that . ”

Dahlia said, laughing .

I felt that I’m loved here! !

A big family!!
