[The Duchess Of Rosia] Ch 62 – A Contract Marriage? Suspicions confirmed!

What does it mean to face a mistress (temporary mistress it seems) while being held by your husband?!

“Oh husband!!!! Please let me down!!”

For the time being to get out of this situation, first of all, I must stand with my own two feet. For that, I must struggle to get out of his embrace!

“If they go wild, it’ll be dangerous for you”

[The duchess of Rosia] Ch 61 – Suspicious!!!

Although I returned to my room, I can’t recover from what happened in the kitchen. It left me completely exhausted.

I got to the bed, dragging my feet in the floor, trying not to think anything and fill myself with energy from the bed’s comfort.

Let’s calm down for the time being. I mean, I don’t care, I just worry about being kicked out and not seeing any more my friends.

[The Duchess Of Rosia -A Contract Marriage?] Ch 60 – In the kitchen

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 …”

[Lady Rose wants to be a commoner] Ch 29 – Noran is back again

It was not that I had never thought that there was another other-world person other than me.

However, I didn’t think anything was wrong until that person took action. I didn’t feel any deviation from the original story until that happened.

Therefore, I was confident that there was only me who came from another world.

[Lady Rose wants to be a commoner] Ch 28 – My first day off spent with Nana-chan

What to do on my first day off after Michelle said that my week off was confirmed. Mmh, there is only one place I’d like to go.

“But… isn’t there better options for you to meet on a day off? For example… to date a noble, silver-haired handsome guy…?”

Nana-chan seemed to have not yet fully understood my relationship with Nika-sama, and made a strange face.

[Lady Rose wants to be a commoner] Ch 27 – My little happiness and forced to take a rest

For me, who has fallen into a critical situation for any noble (even if I like this life more than being a noble) and I’m maintaining myself with leftover bread each time, it is quite natural to love bread and work harder to make bread.

I think so!

“Michelle’s bread is amazing.”

While baking the bread in the kettle, there was still time until the stage of checking if it puffed up, so I was chatting with Michelle while hand-wiping the sweat floating on my forehead.

[The Duchess of the Attic] Ch 19: Documents II

The shocking words of Opal made the room quiet for a moment.

However, immediately Hubert laughs.

“Don’t say anything silly. What I signed yesterday was a document from Omar–“

“But it was not a document created by Omar. It is up to you to trust Omar, but why was it that you couldn’t read through what you signed? “

[The Duchess of the Attic] Ch 18: Documents I

By the time she returned to the Duke’s house, it was about to be dinner, and the butler Romit and the housekeeper gave her an annoyed look.

Despite that, Opal didn’t care and told them that she will have dinner with Hubert, and ordered the surprised Romit to come to the guest room to help her change.

She was thirsty, so she added that they should bring tea as well.

Both Romit and the housekeeper suppressed their anger and began to move.

[The Duchess of the Attic] Ch 17: Some events

A few days later in the morning, Opal, who was returning to the Duke’s residence in the capital, noticed the sound of someone visiting and went down to the first floor.

She headed straight to the study room and knocked on the door.

Replying to the sound at the door, someone answered, butler Romit opened the door with a suspicious look.

“I have something I want to ask my husband. Can you let me pass?”

It seemed like Romit couldn’t help it, so he dropped one step and let Opal pass inside.

Then, Hubert, who was sitting in front of the study desk, looked up at Opal with a smirk.

“What did you come here for?”

“… Good morning, husband. I heard that someone had visited earlier, so I wanted to know if there would be a guest coming this afternoon.”

Hubert faintly turned red, perhaps realizing he didn’t even say hello.

It’s embarrassing to lose courtesy even with a disliked partner.

However, he soon turned stiff at once in response to the question of Opal, who continued without minding it.

“You don’t need to report every visitor to me.

But sadly, I’m still the hostess of this house. It’s my job to entertain guests, so if anyone comes here, let me know.”

“If it were a guest for you, I will tell you of course. But this time it’s my guest. They don’t need your hospitality.”

“… What are you talking about?”

Despite the cold treatment of Hubert, Opal was still firm in her position.

Romit who was watching the situation finally leaves the study while hiding the joy in his expressionless face.

Hubert opened his mouth with frustration as if he might lose patience any second at Opal’s persistence.

“The person who just came… was to deliver a letter from Omar.”

“So you won’t have any visitors?”

“A man named Jonathan Kensit brings in documents sometimes. They need my signature so they must bring the papers to me… But it doesn’t matter to you!”

“… really… it has nothing to do with me? Are you sure?”

“Oh, yeah. You said Omar was embezzling money. But I trust him. That’s the answer. So can you retire now?”

Maybe he was trying to control his anger, Hubert exhaled as he replied to Opal’s question, turning into a calm voice again.

Opal suppressed her discouragement and nodded calmly.

“Understood…”

Opal left the study and returned to the attic while complimenting herself for her quietness.

Opal didn’t leave the room after that. But when it was late in the afternoon, she heard that a visitor came with the help of the sound of a carriage.

She just sits quietly and waits.

Opal still awaited to be called. And angry footsteps did approach the room, but they never called her, and soon she heard the carriage again, and knew that the visitors had left.

Despite the expectation, tears flowed down Opal’s cheeks.

She immediately wiped her cheeks violently. She couldn’t cry because of this.

The servants were happy when Beth gave the message that Opal went to bed that night without dinner.

Finally, the intruder understood her position in the mansion. Master stood firm strongly against the invader.

Hubert, on the other hand, was uncomfortable.

I was too rude this morning.

In the first place, my attitude towards her is unfair.

Hubert was worried while eating his meal with Mrs. Northam, who was in a good mood for the first time in a long time.

Then the next day.

Opal went to her uncle’s mansion with a dignified attitude as if nothing had happened.

Then, her uncle sent kind words to Opal, who received the documents with a smile.

You don’t have to force yourself to continue with this marriage.

However, Opal shook her head, smiling.

“I’m married because his situation has something to do with me, so I’m not going to leave. I’ll do what I need to do.”

“Opal…there is no value in that stupid young man. What makes you so generous? “

“Even so, we can’t just abandon the territory. There are many people living there.”

“I see… you look a lot like my sister.”

“I’m happy to hear it. But I’m far from being like her.”

Opal shook her head and answered, the air between the two calmed down.

From there, she was told about her mother’s memories, and Opal left her uncle’s mansion with happiness in her heart.

However, Opal changed her expression as the carriage’s driver announced that he will be replaced.

  • Cave is happy with me. –

(After all, Cave doesn’t have any hostility to me or to the Duke’s house…)

However, that may change in the future if a new driver is assigned to me.

She was lonely when she thought about it, but since she plans to spend most of her time in the Duke’s territory, she will not be using the carriage.

At the consulate, they were planning to prepare a new carriage for Opal.

At the intended Count Holloway residence, Opal received a big welcome.

She had never returned to the county residence of the royal capital since she got married.

“Sorry, I’m sorry. Were you surprised?”

“It’s a nice surprise.”

“Lady, you have been returning to the county’s territory many times, but we were afraid that you’d never show your face to us again, after your marriage.”

Though the butler and the housekeepers have all surrounded her, Opal began to cry, at the same time that she desperately laughed.

“Actually, I’m happy.”

Since various emotions were swirling, she could not properly convey the joy she was feeling to everyone in the mansion now.

They tried to carry the bag that Opal had, but she refused.

Her feelings were overflowing and she asked the butler.

“Is my father still away?”

“No, He’s at home today. He’s working in the study, but for the time being, we have been told that no one should enter.”

“Yes… but it’s okay. I’ll tell him that it’s not your fault.”

“Lady!?”

Luckily, hearing that her father was there, Opal went to his study.

The butler tried to stop her, but Opal didn’t stop and she knocked lightly on the door of the study and entered without waiting for a response.

Her father seemed not to be so surprised whether he was listening to the fuss or just saw Opal entering. He raised one eyebrow from the paperwork and asked what she needed.

“As you can tell, I went out of control and entered this room, so you don’t have to blame anyone else.”

“I know that. So I wonder if you have a reason to convince me as to why you entered now? I don’t want to hear any ridiculous complaints about your marriage being unbearable.”

“Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a married life. However, at the same time, father you told me that I’d inform you if there’s anything you would be interested in, so here I am.”

“How?”

Opal didn’t say hello to her father after their reunion from a long period of separation.

However, her father does not seem to care.

Everything remained the same as before, there was no need to forcefully laugh, and there was no need to suppress emotions when with her father.

She tells him the purpose of her visit and takes out the documents from the bag as she puts them all on top of the documents that her father was working on.

“As my father once said, here is evidence of the Duke’s “sweetness”. Evidence of the dishonesty of the land manager of the Duke’s territory, and his back books. Evidence that the manager was absorbed in gambling. Here’s the debt’s account from the money lender.”

“I know that, and has your husband finally realized it?”

“If so, why do you think I’d be here? The Duke didn’t believe me even if I accused the janitor of corruption. I tried to get Trevor to be a witness, but the Duke apparently seemed to think that our family is trying to take over the Dukedom.”

“I see. Your husband is “stupid” not “sweet”. “

“Can you stop saying that he’s my husband? Didn’t you, father, choose it? He doesn’t matter to me.”

Opal really surprised the Count this time.

He has always thought that Opal was his daughter and nothing more.

At first glance, his daughter looks like any other daughter, but she is quite smart and has guts.

She wasn’t his eldest son who was flirting at the university, so he thought that he would like to pass on a title to Opal – Get her to marry a person other than the royals, but with no less influence.

For that reason, she has also learned culture and accounting that a lady does not need.

When Opal made her social debut, he didn’t intend to marry her with just anybody but with a good candidate that had looks and an important position.

But she was no longer in a position to be selected by that scandal.

The Count was quite angry at Opal’s carelessness, but on the contrary thought of something interesting.

When Opal and the Duke danced for the first time, he realized that they were attracted to each other, and decided to marry Opal to the Duke for an appropriate reason.

If it’s you, Opal, you’ll notice the problem as soon as you marry the duke.

Opal has a tough personality, but has strong feelings.

At first, there would be repulsion from the rumors circulating, but even if that was unavoidable, the duke and his daughter would have to try to rebuild the territory.

Love may be born soon. His intelligent daughter will surely attract the Duke.

He thought so, but it seems that the Count’s intention was nowhere near reality.

He was interested in what the Duke did, for Opal to utter such cold words, but he didn’t say it.

However, at the end, he dropped his eyes on the document placed by Opal, and the Count opened his eyes with surprise.

“…Is this really okay for you?”

“I stopped dreaming. No matter how long I waited, the prince in a white horse won’t come to my rescue. So I took the white horse and decided to move myself.”

“Don’t you think that prince and you are stuck on the same?”

“Yes? No… so what is the request?”

“First of all, I want you to keep these documents in this safe.”

“Hmm. Sure, that’s fine. Let’s take it. But there seems to be other requests?”

“Yes. The other is… If the Duke begs for you to teach him, please accept it.”

“…Okay, I don’t know if I’ll be able to wake up that stupid young man, and I doubt if he’ll come, but if he comes, I’ll accept.”

“Thank you father. Thank you!”

Opal smiled while saying thank-you.

Both her father and her uncle call Hubert a stupid.

Unfortunately, Opal had to leave the Count’s House and returned to the Duke’s House.

[The Duchess of the Attic] Ch 16. Some visits, faraway problems and new plans

“Well! Claude, it’s been a while!”

“Yeah. I was wondering if I could see you this year… I never thought you would be in the county, Duchess.”

The next day after returning to the Count’s territory, Claude, a childhood friend of mine, visited me.

Opal was happy to see him for the first time in a year, but Claude laughed awkwardly.
