Chapter 19 (1/2)

After a while, Maki showed up with Hans. Maki’s clothes and hair were slightly disheveled, as if she had just tried to run away.

Hans examined Navia and said that she didn’t have an upset stomach but she was definitely not feeling well. Actually, it was obvious that she wouldn’t be feeling well.

Navia inhaled smoke from the fire, she didn’t eat well, and she even stayed up all night.

When Maki heard the results of the examination, she went back quietly, feeling confused. When Navia fell asleep, Charlotte left the room to secure delicious food in advance for dinner.

‘Oh right, I have to get some thread and cloth to repair the clothes.’

It was when she was going down the stairs, lost in her thoughts. “Ahem, Charlotte?”

Lyndon, who hadn’t been seen for hours, suddenly reappeared and quietly called out to Charlotte.

“Yes, Butler.”

Lyndon spoke, “I’ve arranged for the shipment from Ansier Boutique to arrive early tomorrow morning. K’heum. I asked for accessories, so one that you can use will come.”

In other words, let go of the previous situation with this.

Charlotte knew that Lyndon was opportunistic yet pretended to be a gentleman, but she didn’t like being a bad person, so she reacted appropriately.

“You really are the only one who cares about Lady Navia. And how dare I with the accessories… I’m so sorry, what should I do?”

Lyndon felt at ease when she acted modestly.

“Haha, what’s the big deal with a piece of jewelry? This is something I can handle at ease, so don’t hesitate and take it.”

“Thank you, butler.”

“Yes, yes. Go and finish your work.”

Charlotte bowed her head again and left.

The thought that things had been going smoothly since she held Navia’s hand made her smile.

“Ansier.”

‘Then I can take a little bit more time to fix the Lady’s clothes.’

Charlotte hummed, recalling the cute and pretty clothes in Vivian’s closet.

‘I hope tomorrow comes soon!’

***

The third morning of Navia’s return.

The mansion was quiet.

The servants were rather relaxed because Wood and Philippa were busy for unknown reasons.

It was when they were preparing in the peaceful morning.

Clack, clack.

At that time, wagons entered the Duke’s estate. There was a silver seal embossed on the wagon. It was Ansier boutique. The employee, who seemed to have the highest position, got off first.

Lyndon knew about their visit, so he came out to meet them in advance.

“Nice to meet you, Butler Lyndon.”

“Good to see you. Please move the goods to the third floor.”

At those words, the senior employee clapped.

Clap! Clap!

“Everybody move!”

Then handsome men in uniforms with straightened hair got off with luxurious boxes made of rosewood. The female staff were ecstatic to see the men enter the lobby.

As they were employees of a premium boutique that boasted ultra-high prices, their appearances were all beautiful.

“Didn’t Lady Vivian just get a lot of clothes for the winter? And it’s from Ansier!”

“As expected of Master!”

They recalled Vivian, who burst into tears two days ago.

At that time, everyone looked moved, thinking that Nikan had ordered a gift for Vivian.

“The Master has always devoted himself to the Lady. If the Lady were healthier, she could enjoy them much more…”

The servants stared at the procession with wide eyes.

The family of great nobility had the power right behind the Emperor’s and was usually relentless in governing large organizations.

However, fear could not always be used to govern people.

The sense of belonging, pride, and respect for the Master played a very important role in consolidating power.

In this regard, Nikan was a competent and charismatic Master, but he was also respected for also being a widower who raised his daughter with great care.

Another, the people were proud of the work they did.

No one had expected the boxes from Ansier boutique to be headed to the room of the foster daughter, Navia.

Vivian’s dedicated maids also thought so.

Vivian’s maids ran up to the third room faster than Ansier’s staff.

Before they opened Vivian’s door, they glared down the aisle on the other side.

It was Navia’s room.

“Hmph, fake.”

Maki, in particular, left the door wide open.

How envious of Vivian would Navia be? It was delicious just thinking about it.

“Lady Vivian, Ansier Boutique is on the way! If you’re sleepy, why don’t you sleep a little longer and open the boxes together?”

Vivian jumped up rubbing her eyes at the word of Ansier Boutique.
