Can Someone Please Explain This Situation Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Ch . 10 The Wife Looked

The next day again I wore the servant uniform and in high spirits I worked around the inside of the mansion . However I, if I do say so myself, think that, rather than a ‘wealthy socialite wife’, I have become more of ‘maid’ or ‘servant’ . But it’s fun so it’s fine!

Today I change the display flower and I go along with Dahlia to the garden . I am searching for Bellis, the head gardener, to ask him which flowers would be good use when, I somehow I end up in a place I had never been before .

To say the least, the duke’s garden is vast .

In time I am as fearful as a lost child .

I truly think that when someone comes to the garden alone, it would be best to bring along food in preparation if there is an accident .

Oops, I got side tracked .

It is an extremely large garden, so it is impossible to understand it all in a week at best .

There is a section hidden among the groves of trees and small thickets .

It becomes impossible to see the mansion

There is a small pond, and on the side of that there stands a small but elegant building . In the pond there is a water wheel, a brook is also flowing out of it . It looks like a little villa . Should I call it a small countryside house? Even so it is nicer than my parents house, I could cry .

Facing the pond is a wood deck, on there a parasol and sofa are placed .

On there the figures of two people can be found .

So that they wouldn’t find us, Dahlia and I hide ourselves amongst a thicket of short bushes . We then drop down, gather branches with leaves still attached, make a camouflage and secretly peak over the thicket .

The two figures were my husband and a woman .

“It feels like we are spies”

I say cheerfully to Dahlia,

“Then aren’t we peeping toms?”

Mumbles Dahlia . Let’s pretend I didn’t hear .

“Hey, is that building the detached building and that woman Calendula?”

I quietly ask Dahlia next to me who, like me, is camouflaged in branches .

“That’s right” .

Like before, a chill floated out of Dahlia, but let’s pretend not to notice .

Because it’s terrible, my face doesn’t want to turn away!

Me and Dahlia, two people with branches on their head for camouflage, observing two other people . How should I put it, I am wholly very interested in peeking☆ Dahlia is shaking her head in refusal .

I don’t know why we are peeping, the Duke and Calendula are lost in their own world .

“Calendula is a very beautiful voluptuous woman~! I wonder, is she a hourgla.s.s figure？I’m jealous . Her face is also beautiful”

“Oh, the Duke is sleeping with his head in Calendula’s lap”

“Looks quite like a cat” .

“Calendula is spoiling the Duke? Huh! She’s combing his hair!”

I give a commentary of the two in a low voice to myself .

“She is four years older than Master, so she may think of him as a cute younger brother”

Dahlia replied to my commentary in a careless way . I am curious about what she said so I interrupted my observing for a moment and looked at Dahlia .

“Oh!, Calendula is older?”

“Yes . if I remember correctly she is 28”

“Is that so, so the Duke has a preference for older women”

“mmm? How is that?”,

again Dahlia replied carelessly . If you like pretty older women, then a woman six years younger like me, you would only see a child, right . Furthermore I am far from being a hourgla.s.s figure . Certainly it is Out . Of . Consideration!

While chatting sneakily with Dahlia I also steadily keep observing what those two are doing .

However well, how should I say,

When you look at it objectively, it is like a ‘cat grooming’ is being done~

The Duke, a cat with a good coat……sn.i.g.g.e.r!!

“The Duke is a cat attribute?”

“Haaa?”

“Look, he is a acting like a spoiled child and he has an uneven temper”

It is a marvel because if you try do that it would look like a large cat .

“But he wasn’t such a person before”,

Dahlia muttered with a distant look in her eyes .

“Oh, he was different before?”

What does that mean?

“Yes . As the first born of the duke house, that he is a man who is burdened by taking over from the previous duke, so from very young he studied from the previous generations with enthusiasm and the predecessors strictly taught him . ”

“Hoho that is a common story”

“And then around the time when he was a boy he was already set to become a reliable head of the family and everybody was expecting it but”

“Hmm, I see”

“Since meeting companion-sama he has completely become a fool and that has come to an end”

The Duke is treated like a fool . Sn.i.g.g.e.r . My mouth is likely to emit sound so I hold it back with my own hands and urge her to continue with my eyes .

“Until then he didn’t behave like a spoiled child to anybody and grew up without being spoiled and had probably braced himself to be the person to take over the Duke house . He encountered companion-sama and was able to be accepted not as the ‘Heir of the Duke household’ but as ‘Cercis’ . After he knew what it was like to not have to tighten your shoulder but act age appropriately spoiled, he lost his head over it”

“oh~”

He was being strictly regulated so the reaction was intense .

“So if a bit of reason could be worked into him, it would be good” .

Continued Dahlia, it is regrettable that he is addicted .

That is right .

Cercis the juvenile (no young man?), is lacking the moral tolerance of older people!

Companion-sama was a wandering dancer . Also she has various and charming stories to hear . She is someone rich in life’s experience gained through much adversity, so it was easy to steal the heart of a naive boy who knew nothing”

“And it reaches till now . It has been going on for a long time~”

If I remember correctly it has been going on for six years already? In the case of such person you would think it would be easy to heat, easy to cool .

“If the people around him are opposed it, it would probably heat it up”

I see, certainly .

“I see, I see . however, from what I saw, they looked to be in a very harmonious relationship so let’s sneak out of here”

“Eee?! Is Mistress alright with that?”

“Yes . It is such a story and I myself do not have any such feelings of love for the Duke”

This is an important matter .

Because the Duke and I without feelings of love, became a couple through a contract!

“As I thought the Master took measures right?”

Said Dahlia looking mortified

“I am relieved to do it exactly as it is? Besides I am having fun living here with everyone, so even if the Duke isn’t there it’s of no concern?”

“That feels like a slight adaption but thank you”

Dahlia gave a bitter smile .

“Seems so . So let’s quickly look for Bellis . We’ve completely dawdled”

I say as we have been crouched down for a while and removing any the sign of us, I leave the detached building .

There is a big gap between the Duke I saw here and the Duke I’ve seen other places (through mainly hearsay)! Aa, I will not do things like gap moe[1]?
