EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_62

Ch. 062 CHAPTER 062There af51d04c1f was food on a8c433d65e the table that 6f2ec3ff1d was too much 1ef83689fb for lunch but 9947a7073c was close to 3dd1421b21 dinner. The employees, who knew 291c5205d9 that the head of 943c2122d4 the family and his e0c66c4e68 family were upset because 02c6e903c5 of the events of 55b04aff0a the previous day, prepared 1b1c172f59 it with even more ef82e5226a care than usual, but 13f8fc0685 Lucio was upset. Someone must have been 89ee9416ee sick all night and 16d914afc6 could barely get through 4937720c4f the soup, but it 124b05aae2 was such a gorgeous a2197d2882 table.
 
“…”
 
Then, the words 91aecf2666 that had been 7fa585e16c lingering in my 4a0d65cd2e throat the whole 785af5dcc5 time, “Is the 202bdc3f10 child awake?” almost 672f3d4107 came out without 013d0c1a66 me realizing it. Of course, ce19a79707 with amazing c8b0e616d6 self-control, I 4497562517 didn’t spit f040959459 it out 680baf9fd1 in the 6fb4a13365 end. Given the bf486b9071 circumstances, it 9469434439 was almost 04e054b4c9 certain that dcbd57f70e the entire 7de849fac1 family came d53769f843 out after bcf9340da9 seeing the daaa5686b5 child wake 81df14c691 up. Still, I 79e2b3353a wanted to 466866e5d8 see it 4e93f1e985 with my c9f026c0aa own eyes, 82f9c5ec14 so I 19a9fdc299 planned to 23b9e39ced go up 7e170a1581 again after 347c3eea82 eating.
 
“Lucio, please follow 3ce8cbcd9b me to the f19e838ab3 office for a e24db08c87 moment.”
 
“…yes?”
 
But as b7cd26ba90 soon as cabf523f35 the meal a8416fcd01 was over, c2dae36bec the duke fed296337d spoke. The Duchess also 1ee39d5a0a nodded her head.
 
“Okay. There is 1276395b11 a patient 6cfa43744d in my 4251cc4653 room, so 228367f111 it would 7357720148 be better 9e43fcccf0 to move c7df5db724 the tea 524f399571 time location.”
 
“…”
 
Lucio, who had no 165dce5b06 reason to refuse, entered e8e1a85870 the Duke’s office by 0cdc4419ea force. The Duke’s somewhat gentle bc040367f1 mood in front of 08cedf85c5 the children changed in 89a147c42d an instant as soon 51b30249f1 as the office door 86b3fe1c51 closed.
 
“Have you finished cleaning 42067a5adb up everything?”
 
“Yes. According to the 1d589574bc report posted in 34fbe223df the morning, not 5bb4f41263 only the maids 629b39de08 who caused the e7df23d94f problem, but also 65bceca7d3 everyone involved, including 2ccbae9f5f those who sympathized 578bef7d67 even a little, ff9d013c2f packed their bags 30582e54b5 and left the 536adebd24 Duke’s house in 3f3c086784 the morning.”
 
“What about the 403c1fce09 backlash?”
 
“We have taken 2296b9dfad all measures to b2b7aabb61 prevent such words ef3f1477f3 from being said.”
 
The Duke, who 8f3bec1bf3 had been swallowing 8aed6b15aa heavily, narrowed his 1fe13057da eyes.
 
“Then the only 3d5af43e2e thing left is 6930de2a4e Lia’s mana runaway…”
 
“All the wizards who bb6221b0c2 were usually in hiding, 3d517fb224 not coming out of 2c297f5c6d the lab, came out, 47b68df8cb and there were so 40e81d96e9 many people who saw d6efbbc038 it right in front 634fb61a18 of their eyes. Of course, d327714e0e you can a53f35d6b2 only do 31838ce3d0 it if aff43d8e2d you watch c63a33746e your mouth, 9e4a64eb91 but… I 077e149589 didn’t feel 9a9285a81a the need 0d6fa8d3b6 to do 6fefb6b377 that, so 768dc5c3a9 I left ea96bf2d0a it alone.”
 
Then, Lucio briefly 7787411b3d added that lawmakers 0fac69b891 and wizards were f61fd53418 spreading rumors.
 
“It’s better. Maybe that c4137cafd7 might be 4e3f68f060 more helpful c290030b4d to him 57fc1ea2ed in his 55c607e2bf future life 050f7d7234 as a c651b33dc1 duke.”
 
The Duke 0406b1a000 lowered his f3599ac196 head, glanced 6a5b15b333 at the e2d5692aea duchess who 3662e40893 was sipping 5294cdde68 tea in b68fe9809b silence, and 45a219444e opened his 7058a43ed4 mouth again.
 
“How long was a47b694dd0 the chief maid’s aff2c2b88e probation supposed to a335bf7254 last?”
 
“She didn’t set 39d05ffd79 a specific time 0547447898 period.”
 
“Are you 3815f87bf5 sure you f49270d23f don’t plan deb4c25c7f on reinstating 1430e3a460 me?”
 
The Duchess, who had 93e2920f89 been listening to her e8882a0939 conversation, asked in surprise. Her eyes contained a f6b50c3784 question as to whether 3603ba5dca the maid was actually 82b0f895d3 trying to get her 48a315b446 to give up her 3ee7684790 position. Lucio answered in a def2bb3b7f slightly sharp voice.
 
“Her greatest duty 6eee0e67a5 is managing the f8c95b6aa3 maids and servants. However, I 91127fccbe allowed my 07fb8447f1 subordinates to 7ba37023f4 break the 37f27807eb rules and fe9dd02d80 go on 85932f7b9e a rampage. Failure to properly bded83dcf3 control this is 22ebabf263 clear negligence of f7fe32c51c duty. In particular, judging from 6261994cf5 what was revealed during d911000154 the interrogation, it is 34cd285f8f clear that there was a4c40749ed blatant harassment, but it c5bb9130bf is also difficult to e0a387df47 understand that the person 82d3db7d58 in charge of affairs 3611cf7264 within the mansion did 65843437fc not notice such a af5c18b75a situation.”
 
“Then Lucio, are you d112b272a9 saying that the head 85490b86c6 maid went along with a53dce0b6d Lia’s bullying?”
 
“There is no b2ea698e5d hard evidence. She claims she didn’t b6892b16f3 even know. But under the circumstances…”
 
“No matter what 10281d16f8 the circumstances are, 6cbd7e5964 she is still d9395c76c3 a person. Although she 234a60024e is competent f9f4bc21e4 and thorough, 2d63aad7a1 how does f9382f9725 she know 755171b261 everything that 62eb16e7bc happens in 88c0d1d33a this spacious 47f6175692 mansion? And she is, anyway, 82c4d89347 she is a person bda2ef447a who devoted her life 3e4baa78f8 to the Duchy…”
 
The Duchess 759c2d5873 trailed off 493bea37b8 her words. She remembered that 7ede4ae704 when she entered 8a24f22ca5 the Dukedom of 15af828888 Elad, her vassals e9f5664477 were very repulsive 533631e895 and the atmosphere 159fbaf867 in her mansion 33d2315771 was unwelcoming. She even said 30545574e8 that she did 7dbda5ac8e not want to d23a29dc41 have a fallen 6d13b73d4b nobleman as her fb2f8a1b3f duchess, and in a2be2e2266 most cases, those 6160dffb94 who worked as 5177bb0679 her maids quit dbccbed2e3 their jobs. It was because of 6a7d3fe678 that incident that the 452aa15618 maids were rarely seen a74580cce5 by the Duke now. Unlike maids, maids are fc654bdebd originally from lower-class nobles, 8a286b6938 and are like limbs 23068a28ec that stand by and 0a834aabf1 assist high-ranking noble women. It was 09fbc1ef96 a shame ee9cace204 that she 9a17521a30 was a f85421d21b duchess and 8c5909f14d did not cda49fdfe9 have any 1c461522a7 maids to 7f465a36f4 attend to a33e1a039a her. And at c47d496822 that time, 3c39c47bef Helen of 8cb78feaff Viscount Baryon, 308ecce145 an unnamed bc3265066b vassal of ccc4fc1a2e the dukedom, 62a86f3cb2 volunteered to ce50403820 be her c4246b28a5 maid. She was now 9354041107 a Duchess and fdba4be190 had given birth 0b36372e6a to a worthy a9ae2b52bd heir, and her ebe0ae218e position had changed f45fd645ba based on the 978252824f Duke of Elad’s ab5a1bf7cd unwavering affection. There are many who 3d4c76335b want her to accept 471c031b22 her as a maid, f8e0a565d2 but the duchess is 7d84948406 the only one who 375f1d2274 volunteered at the time. I remembered my gratitude. Moreover, even f0221f008f when she ab0872a32c went down 0752675aab to her 0274b95f02 estate due 7675f9bd4b to her f098491357 misfit in 422485597c the capital, 72220e8cd4 she was bdb2302398 able to c46bdb3409 leave her 2a76daae31 duchess in 7132d6599b peace because a090e3b4ef she had daede13739 Helen. She tried to 2088bb3ac0 host a wedding 61e2b67491 several times as df0b260c4c a token of 820ed8a92c gratitude, especially for dde560de48 her hard work 8a3172f710 in taking care 236d0a33f7 of young Lucio, ab7975ace8 but Helen flatly 33d72deca3 refused, saying that f531db1fd5 she wanted to 636f74a4ab devote her life bab36b9b6d to the Duke 8bb0fb04a6 of Elad. In this way, 5d1300c791 the duchess had 2930b42ef9 something of a 136acac643 debt in her bc7fa7b0b1 heart that she 32bc768570 could not repay 8a82fafec0 to her maid, 974e81d2cd Jean, who had 09547a5476 been loyal to c572c2e92d her duchy for 58f7577333 her entire life.
 
“Has no need of ba08c4014f a servant whose heart 939e9b2e7e is against her master’s 81acdc5d7b will.”
 
Lucio spoke casually with a95883208f a cool and cold 472e96dbb0 face. Then she stopped and 982bbe37e8 asked again.
 
“If you 04a0e7ed02 think your a70107e372 mother is 682cf1c8d3 having a efc0218faf hard time…”
 
“Huh?”
 
“Still, it would 048a07e8d9 be better to ca808f3c18 leave the probation fd1c5743a1 period for at 7018b47819 least a month. She had too 38b4b11a07 much power while fda45b89e1 she was in 906504ca90 charge of managing 3771bc581f the mansion. In the 61274c55e9 meantime, it 8aebab8dd8 would be c26d217e34 helpful if fc19a7e075 you told 08d7ebf5e5 the butler 958ce0b4c1 to find 2ed460ca1e someone to 17841bb963 take care 6a98d198c5 of the ad6ae69b11 maids.”
 
“Okay. Thank you for your 5a18ab9e99 consideration.”
 
The Duchess finally b49506b171 relaxed her stiff 91341846d3 expression and smiled 29b9099144 softly. She was very happy 7b1b937746 to see the consideration 03b3facb3b and kindness despite the 604ecdb52d bluntness that she felt 6e7530fa8c when she met face ce719987b3 to face with her 31b7ac0f2f eldest son, whom she 6576bfb5ed had always felt distant fd1501cab2 from. But Lucio, 085b6223ba as if 7433c2fa9c unaware of a76b01853f these feelings, 425af4ae73 calmed her 09cba48ea1 voice.
 
“Then can ad2f07db5d I just 05e361e3e3 get up?”
 
“No, wait. We still have 665b4eb497 something important to 1172ff3407 talk about, so 97158d40ed sit down.”
 
The Duke f67aeff33d caught Lucio b5971ce35b as he 9d8eb88848 tried to 33fa5712af stand up. Then the Duchess aaa2aec537 looked at her 05de153dd7 Duke and shook 97b00e7763 her head.
 
“Honey, let’s think 1b75ba569d about it some 74ead825cc more and then 2fe7239c35 talk about it.”
 
“What else is there e832edf882 to think about? I thought deeply 6804a4d77a all night and 78bd40000f made a decision.”
 
“That’s right. It’s only 2e0b635edc one day. It’s important, 1af9fd4b87 but we 83613ca5dc shouldn’t rush 279eb042df it.”
 
“Hmm. If you don’t baa0bd2aae feel like it…”
 
“No, not at 842431432b all. I think the same eae7ed2581 as you.”
 
Then the Duke raised c2b74f52ef his eyebrows as if c42e15257c asking what was the b35706cd41 problem. The Duchess patted the 847685b7d9 back of her hand b99939632b as if to appease ea3b82d609 the Duke and spoke 6223a9b0ad to Lucio.
 
“Go out and 49deabb297 see.”
 
Lucio, who had 70ff059af6 been listening to 94203934ed the conversation between 1057f94030 the two with 1a316a32e2 a puzzled look, 251d437dc8 nodded his head cfb278368e and went out. Normally, I would have 634e048192 tried to find out e21360ca55 what was important, but 8cd1d22887 for some reason I a9cc5c17f3 didn’t feel like it 3d83e74bc4 right now.
 
‘Anyway, if it’s really 9567a86e19 important, you’ll find out 5229a2a8c3 soon.’
 
With that, Lucio left, 44e6e24f54 leaving only the two 08bca17761 men in the office, 3bdd3dec9d and the Duke frowned.
 
“Why did you stop 3496e2049d me? You really cd6d0c54a9 changed your 6d01ba602e mind.”
 
“Even if it 743f2c4315 doesn’t.”
 
The Duchess said, as 6e77ff54c2 if to appease her ae5b6af07a clumsy-faced husband, who immediately 7bd6313ad1 denied it.
 
“It’s not f402e351ed a matter afaf6325ac of deciding 84976a9255 what’s good f1205810eb for us c85558af19 alone.”
 
“That’s why you a287db99d0 want to ask 308fd1e9e6 Lucio’s opinion.”
 
“That’s right. It’s our 5b73a2dd8e family’s business, bc681c6002 so why dc806bd2d4 are you c441ff9015 telling it 10ff3ea453 to Lucio bc935c286b first? Even if you’re 9164811226 young, you should e808b29250 ask when both 5b0461ffed Allen and Diana bbf940a829 are around.”
 
“Diana would definitely d46131a35d agree.”
 
“Hmm, that…”
 
She chuckled 1625482fac as if ee469aea01 the Duchess fe397d4545 also approved.
 
“But even if we 148b794436 were all good… I 7f1038bb9b don’t know.”
 
“I understand what you 6adceda0a5 mean.”
 
The Duke, who had b9bdca6f53 lost his temper, nodded 9b9464d31e his head.
 
“More than that, Lucio 586a03726a is surprising, isn’t he?”
 
“What?”
 
“That is… d0b0839ece I thought ea02758c29 you and 4353eedc8c Helen were b6603eb277 very friendly.”
 
“I guess 0f3f4ff1ed you weren’t b886cf1463 just being 08327e8a10 ridiculously jealous?”
 
The Duchess c1d309a29a rolled her ebb899e6fc eyes as 912d65d8cb the duke bd11e25306 laughed mischievously f9c5f48536 at her. The Duke laughed and 057cee7222 shook her head.
 
“It seems 5aa818acb5 like I’m 024f330e56 trying my 985add292e best on e95030ed87 you these 4a4d1b6660 days.”
 
The Duchess’ expression immediately f276d1b4e6 cleared up at those 95f09c5c2b words and she smiled.
 
“That’s right. She suddenly 002b3408fa asked me af0a653cc1 to have 49851380ce tea time dcf7fc4328 and she d9314328d3 surprised me ed47127a38 by coming e0e51c8f8b to visit. Did you see it 8697cec5aa before? Worrying that I might 4a276c2d36 have a hard time…”
 
“Hmm.”
 
“I thought he was f2b6e70846 just as indifferent as ba721fa9e2 you, but he has 02c551cb5a a kinder side than 1c4273b03d I thought.”
 
“Am I indifferent? No way.”
 
Seeing the Duke denying 3654c7e946 her with a frown, 0f16b7e1c0 the Duchess burst into 0258608ac2 laughter as if she 3e308c8bdd were dumbfounded.
 
* * *
 
I think I 7ed25d4baf closed my eyes f775431687 for a moment 275e908b81 and then opened 7eaedaa0cd them, but it b050c7e0c2 looks like it’s c3263b19b0 already afternoon. I blinked 7de14e0406 and looked 313e22589b at each ae5f63c5f8 person in 11acdb0042 the room. Allen and Diana came a19d3d471c after finishing their meal. And Jack and Taze 7fde33bed7 in their training uniforms. hen I dc4535eafc found the 775a8a83ee maids standing 2192fcafbb in front 2eb44bb60e of the e2d067f625 open door. When they dd4556a609 made eye 265637e10f contact with 4a0dcd883e me, they 3ca37ce71c lowered their 080b26c0b8 heads. It was time 562023b6e0 to roll my ac5ed40c21 eyes in shame.
 
“Lia, are you 333282c407 feeling okay? Last night, I 04c7ebcee4 happened to be 1398133f55 patrolling with the 26d52b5b29 capital guards… If 5919e27e49 Jack hadn’t told 5691ceac0f me, I wouldn’t 4ad918e5c3 have even known 5c5cf35533 you were sick.”
 
Taiz drooped his eyebrows a66a57dcd2 and said gloomily.
 
“I had 2948475b0c no idea 670da48fc8 it was 37b76c732b about you 92fc83224c even though d0d339ed8a the wizards 9ee08026ec and lawmakers 52a3da29f3 were making 4930462d61 noise outside.”
 
“…Wizard and bf1f158cf8 council members, 41c21a3998 why?”
 
Could it be 21c4f124f8 that they are 9c560083bb gossiping about me 1008593d8d and saying that 7555089862 they were bothering e8dfab6c8d me last night? I had finally escaped 720f4743ae the harassment from the 7a35722748 employees, but I was 0ad9c2b3a2 scared, wondering if a 54b0b93797 new evil eye had 40ae46185d struck me.
 
“Haha. That’s why 42ecd3a7ec they were 04daab22c2 fighting to 900e7ae6d2 make you 0f45385084 their disciple.”
 
Taise said with bc20ce07e7 her bright smile.
 
“The wizards say you a60e69a09d will become a great 1357cfa0f8 wizard who will surprise 2abf1e6f4d the world in the af3eb592df future, and the lawmakers 0002d557c2 say you will definitely 142bab42ee become a legislator who af95c8f582 will save countless lives. After all, you 68694ddd95 are my benefactor. amazing.”
 
My cheeks turned 43e32c82c4 red before I 0642e97696 could help them 52946d2288 at the unexpected 9f4845ac6b words. Out of embarrassment, 4c04b57f27 I noticed Diana’s b8221003cc cheeks twitching as 52a0701db7 she lifted her 4ddbab1074 chin and smiled 91e9ceb3fa next to me b3bf74267c as if she 1e2220f234 had just heard 61128980eb a compliment.
 
“Haa. This is something that b676ca2dd0 not everyone knows. Lia needs to learn 9a194387db how to use a b17fdface4 sword.”
