Chapter 108 A secret meeting at night part 1
Knock knock. I opened the door.
Seemingly without reason, Dida was standing there.
“It’s quite late. What are you here for?”
“…Uh, sorry. Were you already sleeping?”
“Yes. Milady slept early today, so my work also ended earlier than usual.”
“Ah, I see…really, though, don’t open the door with your guard down like that. As a woman, you should stay on alert.”
“Well, we don’t really need to worry about that in this mansion…plus, I’m not completely without experience in these situations. If it comes to a desperate situation, I will use force.”
I said this with a
smile. An awkward, bitter smile flashed across Dida’s face.
But quickly enough, his expression became serious.
“…what about opponents that you can’t deal with? What will you do then? For example, I would be able to defeat you easily.”
“True…out of everyone in this mansion, only you and Ryle are truly a challenge to confront. As for other enemies who might invade, if I do find any adversary truly challenging, they probably won’t have come for my looks, but for my life. Well…I still trust you two, for the time being.”
Our eyes met. In a late night like this, when both of us
us were silent and there were no other noises to interrupt us, the silence between us made the atmosphere exceedingly heavy.
“…You win. Of course I can’t do anything if you say something like that.”
Saying this with a smile, Dida shattered the serious atmosphere.
“So? What are you here for?”
“No, originally I was planning to have a drink or two with Ryle, but he’s already asleep. So I thought of you.”
“I can’t believe you…you’d call me out for something like that? I’m still a woman. If strange rumors start spreading about us, I’m not responsible.”
“That’s fine.”
Saying this, he laughed. I couldn’t read the
read the true intentions of this man before me.
“Well…it’s true that it’s late. You’re getting up early tomorrow, right? Sorry.”
“Hold on a minute.”
“I’ve already woken up anyways…it’s a rare opportunity. Let’s go have a drink. I’ll go in and change, wait a minute for me.”
“All right.”
After that, I changed and walked out of the room.
Going to a bar or somewhere like that…it was quite a strange time for that. In the end we started drinking in the servants’ chat room.
The chat room is a room that all the servants share. As per its namesake, it’s a place where servants can communicate and can communicate and say whatever they want.
Duke Armenia’s family has a mansion corresponding to its social status. More than half of that space is specifically for servants.
To maintain such a huge mansion and allow the masters of the house to live comfortably, they ended up needing a huge group of servants; at the same time, this structure was very fitting for a family that treated its servants so kindly.
“What do you want to drink? I brought this.”
“…Isn’t this a Makarama* specialty product? How did you get it?”
“I grabbed it from Master.”
What a startling declaration, I couldn’t help but sigh.
“You…”
