Haunted Duke’s Daughter

"Ugh..."

Raymond sat back on his sighing chair. Have a cup of tea and sigh again. And raise your gaze,

"You're still here,"

I was just a little surprised that Sakura remained on the spot. Sakura stared facelessly at Raymond, but eventually lowered her brow butt sadly.

"I hitched a ride to Mr. Raymond, was that good?

"What does that mean?

"Friend, it was, wasn't it? With Farah's father."

Raymond looks stunned. I wonder why you know that. Sakura continues.

"I know my friend's kid went into an orphanage, but that made it harder for Mr. Raymond, a senior aristocrat, to get his hands on him, didn't it? I waited until it was time to look for work before I decided to hire him as a maid to help out.... I wish I could adopt you"

Apparently, this great spirit has it all. Raymond smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"You can't adopt an orphan. Because there are as many bad precedents as there are for being a maid. If only I could stigmatize you."

"You're clumsy."

"If that makes her happy,"

When Raymond said so, Sakura sadly distorted her face again, bowing her head small. To surprise Raymond, Sakura says.

"I'm sorry. I was just telling you, too. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered you."

"Oh...... Ha. I don't mind. Rather helpful."

"To?"

"Because in me, I can't protect myself if I come out to be more than the other nobles, the Marquis. If you could hire me at the Duke of Ardis' house, you'd be relieved."

There. There can't be any such person as telling the Duke's family to give up the maid, or even go under the protection of the Great Spirit. It wasn't the shape I thought it would be, but I'd say it turned out better for Raymond.

"Regards, Farah"

Deeply bow your head to the Great Spirit. Sakura was smiling gently as silent time flowed as it was and raised her fearful face.

"Yeah. Nice to meet you. By the way, should I tell you about Mr. Raymond?

"No. Now you will have some idea of how horrible the aristocracy is. I don't want that to fade away."

"Really, you're clumsy. Well, I understand. Then I'll go, too."

Sakura waves and disappears. I just sighed like Raymond was tired,

Say hello to Mr. Raymond.

I could hear Sakura's little voice like that. It wouldn't be a word for myself. Perhaps, then, to the Spirit who would be here?

Can you give me some protection from the Spirit? While expecting only a little, Raymond thanked the Great Spirit in his heart.

night. Listening to Raymond from Sakura in her own room, Lilia held her forehead to suffer a headache.

"There will be enough to go around..."

"Right? Oh, keep it from Farah."

"Yeah...... All right. That fara, but because I'm going to ask your father to hire me here. That's good, right?

"Ooh! Thanks! We can talk a lot more!

Makes Sakura smile happy. Even if they just saw this smile from Sakura, I'd say it's good to hire Farah.

"Do the rest of the bargaining yourself with your father. Your father will be waiting for you in the study."

"Copy that. I'm coming!

Sakura runs and leaves the room. I guess I wouldn't have to rush it so much, but I'm still that happy to be a friend of the same town. Kind of just a little, I don't think it's funny. Do you even feel lonely?

When Lilia mocked herself and put her mouth on the tea, Sakura ran back. Sakura says to Lilia, who tilts her neck wondering what's wrong.

"Because my best is Lilia, right?

Shut up and go.

"Yes!"

Sakura runs away again. Lilia laughs bitterly, but starts thinking about her plans starting tomorrow. Going back to school is all I want to do after seeing Farah again.

Alisa was smiling and laughing as she prepared her next cup of tea, realizing Lilia's mood for thought was getting better earlier.

"Huh? But again, can you say it?

The next day. Farah was reporting about today in the Dean's room. The dean has opened his mouth in a pompous dusk since he finished listening. Farah was desperate to see the look on the face of the dean, who didn't see much, about to erupt.

"As for the maid, I'm going to be working at the Duke of Ardis' house. Fort Count, Raymond has forgiven us."

"Oh yeah...... No way, I can't believe the Duke house... Are you all right?

Even the Counts were anxious, so it would be superfluous if it became the Duke's. Farah nodded with a smile in an attempt to reassure the dean who was genuinely worried about her.

"At least it's better than the Fort Count family. I happen to see the lady there and she seems to like it...... Rather than, I used to know him..."

"Oh...... Really? We remember each other so well..."

Perhaps the Dean thought he knew Farah when he was still living as a baron. Surely that's what you should think if you think normally, and more than that, you can't tell that there was someone you knew from a previous life, etc.

Farah smiled vaguely, avoiding affirming clearly.

"I haven't decided on detailed terms yet, but you can negotiate for your daughter to come back here once a week," he said.

"Yes. Then I'm relieved too... Really, good..."

Say so. Dean smiled softly.

"Come back anytime, though it may be too early. I'll be waiting."

"Yes, thank you"

Farah bowed her head and left the room intact. Just before closing the door,

"Oh good...... Really..."

I hear the crying dean, and Farah's eyes are getting hot. I know the dean's been caring about me for a long time, but I didn't think I'd get this far. Farah gently closed the door and went outside.

There's a walk, a relaxing walk. There was really a lot going on in just one day. I didn't expect the situation to change so far. I can't thank you enough for Sakura.

"I need to repay you a little... For that, we need to hang in there......!

I took an oath in my heart, and Farah put the mood back in okay.
