Recently, a tremendous earthquake ran for a long time in the Duke’s house where apparently, there was a very calm air. It’s no surprise… After what was told in the kitchen…
My husband bought a villa in the suburbs of the royal city… and there is a woman who seems to be the new mistress….
It is only a rumor thought, but as soon as the servants heard it, they were enraged. There was no way for me to get out of the way. Yes, there was no way to be out of the issue.
The merchant who brought in this rumor and created this chaos… ran out like a threatened maiden, driven to tears…
After the merchant’s departure, they were completely enraged with my husband.
“Is this the end of my life here as the duchess? Ah….” How tiring…
“Don’t worry madam!!! You’ll always be his only companion!! Let him end playing and you’ll see how he comes back to you!!! He has never received discipline about love affairs!! He’s an animal!!”
“Where will he find such a wonderful wife again? He’ll eventually wake up!!”
The angry shouting can be heard from every servant in the mansion. They speak their thoughts without moderation. The momentum is likely to grow with time.
However, since it is still at rumor stage. It’s not a confirmed fact. They don’t know if the mistress exists or not, but they’re already angry anyway. Just how much do you trust my husband? … I can only show a bitter smile, but for the time being, I’m afraid I can’t trust him enough to say that it’s not possible.
“It’s too early to conclude guys”
The calm voice of Lotus sounded. He has been watching silently and eventually blocked the angry voices of the servants.
“Lotus-san! How can you be calm when you hear this? In the first place, there is no smoke without fire!”
“But it’s not a confirmed fact, please calm down. If it’s true, the duke parents will do something, so I’ll look into it and inform them. Calm down.”
“””Ah……!!”””
At some point, everyone became aware of my existence, so all eyes gathered on me in an instant, I got stuck. Yeah, it’s hard to be on the middle of a dilemma.
I was stared at by everyone, and I was surprised.
“Oh, I’m fine! I’m fine!”
I don’t worry at all! I’m okay guys!! I don’t love him anyway!!
Well … a marriage without love is no good… but with a cheating husband, that seems to be the best at the end…
If this information is correct, his parents will have to deal with it, as Lotus says. Because it is my husband we’re talking about, it may not affect me in the social circles. In any case, he has a previous record of playboy. Because of that, they will turn a blind eye to rumors coming about him.
Depending on the status of the new girlfriend, it’s a wonder if our positions won’t be reversed. Whether I will be treated as a mistress and her as a noble princess… Maybe she will be accepted as the new wife? …… Wow, oh?! That means I’ll be fired, right?! I didn’t completely look at this matter in depth and its consequences!
Will it be the revival of the ornamental wife contract, as when we started all this, or a hard cut-off of the marriage and ending this once and for all?
“Madam?”
Suddenly, the room became quiet and everyone stopped speaking. Mimosa looked into my face and called me several times asking if I was okay. I’m all right, but I was completely distracted by thinking about what will become of this if it’s real.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve been thinking a little. Well, let’s do as Lotus says.”
I looked at Mimosa for a moment and smiled, next I rushed to go to Lotus for help.
“I will investigate immediately Madam!”
Lotus turned back and carefully folds his waist, in an act of salutation towards me as his superior.
“Please do it.” I answered
Soon, Lotus left the servant dining room. His pace is faster than usual, so even if he seems to be calm at first glance, there may be a place where he’s anxious about all this.
The subtle tense air still flows through the dining room after the cool Lotus leaves.
It’s no longer chaotic, but the servants are all paying attention to me … Well, it’s uncomfortable…
I just decided to speak my thoughts about this, but before I could pronounce a word…
“If you all have such a scary face; madam will suffer more than she already is. Smile a little! Make her feel better! Comfort her instead of being angry at what is already done!”
A bright voice reverberated in the air of the kitchen, with a lightly tapping sound. At the end of our line of sight, Cartham was standing next to Lotus. He had his arms folded and leaned against the stove while quietly watching the course of things. He looks like a savior now, with a sweet smile that can only be thought of as a super sweet feast!! Today, that sweet smile looks shining!
“Cartham!”
Thank you for helping me here!!
“Lotus says he’s going to check, so I’d like to ask you guys, if you could leave it to him.”
After bowing with his hands in front of his chest, he smiled at everyone and I smiled back at him. Thanks!! By the way, there is no strict prohibition issued by my husband for skinship.
The atmosphere of the dining room, which was filled with rage and gloominess until now, was appeased as Cartham brought light and hope to the air. The atmosphere has become lighter. And as the air relaxes, the servants cool down a bit,
“Please check it out soon.”
“Surely”
“It’s okay to make a fuss after the crime is confirmed!!! Got it?”
I shrugged my shoulders and softened my eyes. The last line is a little scary. Well, it’s nice that they protect me, but I’m not going to hide into a turtle shell neither guys. Cartham, Good job!!!
Somehow everyone calmed down. It’s nice that the tension in the air is gone,
“Viola is the best wife! Tha cheater is the worst!!! Even if he’s our master!”
“Oh, that …. sigh”
I shrug my shoulders as they imitate my husband bad times of cheating. We ended up laughing.
Suddenly, I felt a terrible premonition and touched my cheeks with both hands,
“But master has changed a lot since he started loving madam!”
“Yes, maybe it’s all a rumor…”
The maidens returned to the usual crisp conversation and the chilly air is gone. In contrast, I am getting more and more anxious. Why?
The story of the girls continues, and everyone is fully immersed in the recollection of the scenes from those days when I just came here. Ohh, this is kinda embarrassing!!
“Ah, how bad was master, when madam came for the first time. He was a pure playboy!!”
“Yeah, I consent!!”
“I agree!!”
No, wait a minute? Why do you remember everything and so detailed? And why is it so exciting?
Isn’t it that the subtle air has now become warm?
…… Is this shame play?
I felt dizzy because it became an air of warm memories
“… I’ll take a break in my room …”
