Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

The presence of Dean has recently made it possible to shorten the time allocated to the consular government, which has often been rolled out to the city. I knew when I got out of town, I could use a refresher.

"Oh, Dean! Maybe we should stop by the orphanage one last time."

"As Alice wishes"

Because when we roll out to the city, we invite Dean. Things I've thought about, things I've come up with, things I say on the spot give me back my opinions all the time... things that are quick and good to talk about. At first, Tanya disagreed. “I can't believe I'm taking a stranger." However, I forcibly broke through because my mother's mouthfeel and my grandfather would accompany me.

I couldn't really imagine Dean dealing with a child because of it, but he handles it pretty well. Thanks to you, the kids are more popular than me.... Though I feel slightly sorry for it, I endure it because it is an eye blessing to watch you play with the children.

"Ouch, ooh, ooh. Will you come back?

If that's what they ask you because it's superior, it's creeping me out. Oh, cute......!

"Of course. Hey, Dean."

"Yeah. So be a good girl and wait"

At sunset, I enjoyed it enough and went home. Um, we had fun today. I'll see you tomorrow, good luck.

Since her mother arrived, she started taking breaks, but as usual, there was no holiday. Lately, though, I've been trying to get out of town as a one-day holiday while Dean works for me.

Or because of Dean, the job will be done faster than planned, so it will be okay to be out of hand and free for a day or so as a result. But holidays are important.

"... Dear Alice..."

"I'm already on the property, so it's okay not Alice"

To my scratch, Dean grinned lightly.

"Excuse me. Why does the lady work there?

I stop thinking temporarily about questions I never thought I would ask.

"You're not even working."

"It's not like me. Sometimes I work to live. But not the lady. As the Duke's Lady, as the Chancellor's daughter... you wouldn't have to work to live, would you?

Well, that's true, isn't it? Among the aristocrats, it is extremely partial for women to work. Though I think it's your wife's business to protect and serve the house… most of the time the butlers and servants manage the house and the realm, as we did before.

"But I'm giving you the status of lord's deputy over your father. Aren't you supposed to work shamelessly for that status because you're noble?

"With great disrespect… I thought the aristocracy I imagined was just something that exploited taxes from the people and lived with it. Besides, the lady could have delegated the same rule to Mr. Sebastian as her husband."

"That's not how I didn't think of it. But I knew it was a corner job… even if I was immature, I thought I'd do my best. That's what kicks ass. But now..."

Softly I look at my hands.... little little, hand. He laughs when he sees for himself that it is so disproportionate to hold and defend the life and future of all the inhabitants.

"I met those kids in the hospital, and even I... yeah, that's what I thought there was to be done because it was me. If my hard work makes the people smile a little more… if the people can be happy, isn't that so great?

"... right"

Beauty smiled at me and fell in love for a moment.... Danger. Danger. Dean's smile is so destructive, really, we need to be careful. I got a little embarrassed and went back to my room to thank everyone when I got back to the hall. Oh, no more... not this character.

... and then, two days later. On the end date of this Dean contract, I fell for the first time since I got here. I should have been first in my health before... why.

However, because of the high fever, I couldn't afford to think about such a good thing, and I just slept.

The next time I opened my eyes, the room was already dimmed.... have you been asleep all day?

"... haha..."

Physical fitness management is fundamental to working. I can't believe I fell down and fell asleep all day... and I still can't, either.

"... Tanya"

She has a slight blurred voice, but there seems to be no abnormality in her throat.... Anyway, I'm thirsty. I sweat and my clothes are pitchy stuck, which is disgusting.

If you call me, Tanya, who was waiting in her room, came right up to my pillow. The look on his face seemed a little angry, and he was about to cry.

"... water, please. Then, too, towels dipped in water and squeezed. I want to wipe my body."

"I'm in awe"

I guess I was prepared in advance. Soon I will be brought a glass with water and swallow it.... Yeah, it'll stain your thirsty throat.

Then Tanya wiped my body with a tequila and wet towel.

... Tomorrow, I'm just horrified to think about how much work I'm accumulating... Dean's gone home this morning. Oh, I wish I hadn't taken a day off yesterday... but a later festival. The rabbit also horned. Today, I fell asleep again because I wanted to get some rest.

The next morning, I dragged my slightly heavier body to the study. Yeah, I wondered how much paperwork was accumulating... and when I opened the door, there was the same amount on my desk as usual... no, there was a smaller amount of stuff than usual.

"Oh...?

I thought I heard a knock at that time, and it was Dean who came in.

"Dean! What's wrong? Didn't you have until yesterday morning?

"Lady, is your body okay now?

"Yeah. Because I gave you a day off yesterday. More so, this amount…"

"I've got everything I can turn around under my authority. This is the only one who needs your daughter's final approval."

"Yes...... thanks. But, Dean. Were you nice? Though the days have passed."

"Your daughter is sick, but you can't leave her alone. I'll let you out tomorrow."

"... sorry for the inconvenience"

"It's fine. Because that's what I did on my own. Now put your eyes through this one."

Dean then left the paperwork, leaving the room. After he leaves, I glance at the report that was placed on my desk all the time.... Especially not a problem. I'm in trouble because I don't have a problem.

"... haha..."

Unexpectedly, I exhaled a heavy sigh.... Not like this, no. As it is, I depend on him. In terms of work, or otherwise.... even now, yes. With him, I'm relieved. I'm counting on you.... on my side, I'm hoping you'll stay.

But no.... I don't like it anymore. I thought of you when you were Ed. Someday people will betray you. That's why I try to think I have to stand on my own feet.

Always was, yes. I need your help. I can also rely on it. If I can trust this man, I can trust him. But on the other hand, I can count on you to get this far... or I can trust you to get this far. That was the mindset that you could be betrayed whenever you wanted.

... yet he tries to break it. I've tried to cross the deep line of my heart on my own, and I want to leave everything to myself. So...... scary.

I shook my head wide and sideways to deny the idea. … let's not think about this anymore. Don't think about it, put a lid on it... then it should be gone at some point.
