- "I'm going to the Howard house. It's okay, I'll be right back."
Until Cecil laughed and left me, when the Howard family user guided me through the gates of the splendid mansion, Eugene had no realism.
For one thing it is strange that I was actually a nobleman who has always lived as a civilian, and for the other, Eugene had no desire to be the heir to the Howard family, etc.
I came to the Howard family to see the face of my real father, whom I had always wanted to know, and to buy a ring for my lover Cecil.
In this day and age, even though I'm in Wang Dynasty, I can't get Eugene, a civilian, to go into a slightly better jewelry store, to deal with me. When it comes to selling civilian jewellery, it's about an open-air merchandise.
But it shall be a noble mansion, and a jeweler shall come. A boat to cross. "This is all I have!" I thought.
It has long been said in this Astorian country that a ring given to a married woman can make her happy for life if it has a stone of the same colour as the colour of the woman's eyes.
Cecil was a quiet, gentle, understated, very caring woman. He was poor but didn't complain a word and always smiles gently next door.
I grew up in an orphanage in the suburbs, and although the public wind was never warm on Eugene without parents, I could stand it if I were Cecil.
For the first time in my life, I thought I was happy.
That's why I wanted to give you the best ring I could.
I want to see Cecil's delightful face. That was all.
"You're Eugene..."
The father I first met - the current owner of the Howard family - looked considerably older than I had heard.
That should be it too, he said, a year ago he lost his wife, and six months ago he lost one son who would become Eugene's brother-in-law, and then he fell asleep, and it's no longer a long life.
"I'm sorry. I can only apologize to you. [M] This is how I could have met and talked to you, even though I was in a position not to even look at your face. I sincerely appreciate it. I had a good dream at the end. Thanks."
I smile weakly with tears in my angry eyes.
Eugene was taken aback. The opponent is noble. I was ready to see what arrogant attitude you would take.
"It would make sense to go see him from me, but I can't even get up anymore. I'm sorry I called you."
"... I don't want to be the heir."
"Oh. I don't mind."
I was lightly affirmed and became more and more pompous.
He said that if he got stuffed, he would hit him with a grudge of years and try to escape, etc., but he didn't need to be a heir.
His father's cheeks loosened on Eugene, who turned out to be a much blushed face.
"The user said it. I'm not thinking about that. To tell you the truth, I'd like you to succeed me. I've left you alone for eighteen years. I haven't thought about such a good thing about bugs. A distant relative has a boy named Theo. I'm just getting ready to have that kid adopted."
"... Then why did you call me?
"I haven't been around long, at the end of the day I wanted to see your face. I'm so sorry until now. Miriam - she looks a lot like your mother who died. Thank you. There's nothing more to remember."
Eugene tightened her heart in a panic as her heart nearly moved to her father, who smiled thankfully at her blue and white cheeks.
When I first heard about my father the other day from a Howard family user, the honest emotion that arose was anger. I left myself and my mother alone for eighteen years, and now you're going to succeed me. It's too unsolicited. So much for the head to come out.
I was going to scold you back because I'm sure you'd treat me with arrogance.
Eugene cleared the ceiling with complicated feelings. Now you can't take it with you in anger.
and suddenly, his father began to moan and groan in agony.
"Sir!
The lead butler jumps in and medicates him, giving quick instructions to the maids who rushed to him. While Eugene was even groaning at the wall, the doctor's treatment brought his father back to sleep with a gentle breath.
"Dear Eugene, may I have a moment?
The butler invited Eugene out of the room.
Butler, the lead butler, had already worked for the Howard family for over thirty years. Once upon a time, Eugene's father said he was helped by an orphan who fell to the side of the road and was on the verge of starving to death.
"I don't know if you can believe what I said, being a butler, but my husband is a wonderful man. If my husband hadn't helped me then, I would have died like garbage on the side of the road. I owe you my life."
(Even if they say that... I was an orphan. I was left alone.)
It seemed that the waving counter-invention was written as it stood on Eugene's face, and the butler smiled small. And I turned my gaze away like it bothered me to tell you, and eventually opened my mouth slowly.
"Master Eugene's mother was the maid of this mansion. I know because I worked with him, too. She left without telling anyone that she was pregnant. And when I left, it was on the bedroom shelf, and I stole cash and your wife's jewelry."
……
The butler looked quiet at Eugene, who looked up as if he had been begun.
"Servant theft is a capital offence. But my husband didn't pursue her. That's a substitute for compensation, so I stopped by a few of us who know you're useless. So we tried to make her forget Eugene's mother. Happy or unhappy, because he seemed to have left Wang Du.
So it's so late to find Master Eugene. Forgive me. "
To a deacon who bows his head deeply, Eugene couldn't say anything back. Because now I don't know if it's true or not.
Still got the burden. The mother could be a criminal.
Deacon bowed his head deeper and deeper with a serious face to Eugene, whose face stifled.
"I have a favor to ask. My husband hasn't been around long. That's what the doctor told me.
Actually, it's been a long time since I've seen your husband smile since I lost his wife and son one after another. Seeing a face that delightful...... Dear Eugene, could you just stay with your husband a little longer? If you don't mind. "
I couldn't say no to Eugene.
The butler said as he guided the mansion to the heavily footed Eugene.
"Thank you. Please let us know what you have for the Yi Ri."
"- I want a ring. Heard a good jeweler is coming to the noble mansion. I don't have a lot of money, but I want a ring with real stones, even if it's small."
"Is that a wedding ring you give to a lover who lives with you?
"Yeah, well."
Eugene, who could even turn away, did not realize that the deacon's expression had only become harsh for a moment.
The butler smiled softly.
"Really? Congratulations. But unfortunately, the jewelers in and out have only recently arrived, so I was wondering if they would come for a while. I'll tell you to come as soon as possible, so please wait in this mansion for a while longer. This jeweler is also very popular in Wang Dynasty. Lovers will love it."
I wrote to Cecil. "I won't inherit it it, but there are only a few things left of my father's life. I'm sorry, but I've been here a while now, and I'll buy a blue stoned ring to Cecil before I go home".
When the butler told me to give it to the Howard family user, I brought a reply from Cecil after a while. It was definitely Cecil's letter I was used to seeing. "Okay, I hope you're taking your time. I'm looking forward to the ring," he said.
Eugene took a ho breath and read the letter back again and again as if she felt Cecil.
The butler has further said, "I'm paying you because you're being selfish here and you're in the mansion". politely declined, but certainly Eugene has not gone to work now, and the amount he has offered was three times as good as Eugene's salary. I thought I could make it easier on Cecil, and I asked Cecil to deliver it to me.
I immediately received a letter saying "Thank you for the money". "This one's fine. Take your time to see your father. I look forward to the ring," he said.
Good. I'm relieved you're happy.
Thirty days passed away from Cecil, while his father's capacity remained bad. Finally the jeweler came and Eugene picked out the ring excitedly.
"I'll make this one."
Though not expensive, it was a ring with refreshing blue stones like the sky in the early morning, exactly the same color as Cecil's eyes.
Then as soon as the merchant, who had a full smile, did his gaze to the wall, he frightened his face.
"- I'm sorry. This ring appears to be slightly scratched. Could you wait a while longer? That way, I'll have the same beautiful ring as this one."
Behind Eugene dropping her shoulders, the butler standing on the wall smiled small.
