Ch 55 – A sudden visit

** In dire need of coffee ** We have less and less people that support the site… Happy Easter!!

…

After coming back, I am so happy to get to know that my servants and my husband care about me! As long as I don’t get kicked out, I’m renewing my determination to do my best in the Duke’s house.

When my welcome back reception ended, the mansion regained its usual calmness.

I was devoted to cleaning the glass window with a rag.

You can see the outside scenery from the room. Glass is generally popular, the larger the size, the more difficult to get and expensive it becomes. Despite being expensive, the duke’s house uses a wall of glass in each room. As expected, they are rich. And because glass is transparent, it’s worth cleaning it with care. It is a difficult task. I used a ladder to reach near the ceiling.

The yellow-green fruit from a tree called citrine, that we have in the garden, is effective in removing dirt from the skin, and has a glazing effect, so it is used for cleaning. This is the wisdom of life that I used when I was at home, but it also has a refreshing scent, so the dirt will fall, the luster will come out, it will have a good scent, it’s three birds with one stone! At first, there were servants who used cleaning detergents, but they liked this citrine cleaning method, and now it has become a classic glass cleaner. By the way, citrine has a strong fertility, so it always has fruits. Until now, it was mostly used to add some flavor to the dishes. The gardener team harvests a lot every day.

Oh, I talked a lot about cleaning.

“A letter for you madam”

Lotus appeared in the room.

“Well, from father-in-law?”

I forgot my welcome letter, is it a reminder? Let’s pretend I didn’t notice it came and let’s answer it later.

“It seems that they are coming to the capital because they were called from the royal palace.”

Lotus explained the contents as I was polishing hard the glass. The letters that arrive at the Duke’s family are first read by Lotus unless they are too confidential.

When I looked over the letter, the contents were clearly what Lotus said.

And

“… Hey, don’t you feel that it seems they will come the day after tomorrow?”

I look up at Lotus with unrelenting eyes,

“It appears to be so.”

Lotus responded calmly, but now it’s already past noon and it’s close to the evening. That means that the preparation time is almost gone. This is so sudden!

“Does my husband know this?”

“No, I don’t think he knows it yet, because the letter came for you. Unless you have contacted him.”

“It’s almost evening today… Well, I’ll so my utmost tomorrow to prepare the reception.”

It’s a beautiful mansion so no much preparation for the house is needed. Don’t panic even if there are sudden visitors!

“That’s right”

“Now, about the preparation of the guest room and food. Oh, yes. I think I will be in the same room with my husband this time, so let’s just prepare the guest room and bring an extra bed into my room.”

“Okay madam”

“It seems to be a busy day tomorrow”

I started thinking about tomorrow’s setup in my head.

The same letter seems to have been delivered to my husband’s workplace, as he knew everything when returning at the evening.

“I’m sorry for the suddenness.”

My husband lowers his head to me and seems sorry.

“I’m sure it’s urgent, but I think it will be somehow okay.”

“The order from the royal palace was urgent …. It seems to be about the territory.”

I shouldn’t dig into it too much, so let’s change the topic,

“Is that so? I’ll be prepare everything. Oh, yeah, your room, this time I’ll bring your bed into my room, okay?”

I confirm it.

“Okay”

Until then, he had a tired face, but now he suddenly smiled. His switching is fast.

“Don’t worry about my bed. We can carry it later.”

“Oh yeah?”

He now has a very disappointed face. I continue to think the same, who fast he changes.

“It’s okay to sleep on the couch too”

Really? Are you okay with anywhere? When I looked up at my husband,

“That’s obviously not good.”

I told once and for all. After all, has he ever slept on a sofa before?

“I’ll bring your bed in now.”

He was mumbling something but I couldn’t hear it well. However, I can see that he’s unwilling.

The next day, after sending him off, I gathered at the employee’s dining room for an emergency meeting. Of course, it’s about tomorrow’s visit”.

“The last time they visited we had time to prepare, but this time it’s so sudden. Everyone, please work hard.”

“Yes!!!”

“First of all, cleaning the house. There are no particular problems, but just in case.”

When Lotus instructed the employees of the cleaning team, they responded “Yessss Sirrr!” And immediately disappeared to do the labor.

After confirming that, Lotus gives instructions one after another.

“Laundry team should replace all sheets”

“Yes!!!!!”

“Kitchen should order more food than usual. To be able to respond to any request.”

“of course”

“About the garden, don’t make any special arrangements”

“Understood”

Belis makes a positive expression.

“Is it all right to bring flowers for decoration?”

As Lotus looks at me,

“Yes!!!”

I answered with all my strength.

The meeting ended quickly, and each person was assigned a role.

The duke’s house is more busy than usual.

Careful cleaning and decorations.

The flowers are totally replaced.

All sheets are now clean and fresh.

The merchants come in and out bringing ingredients for the food for tomorrow.

Lotus went into the office because of urgent documents. I’m sure it’s about this visit.

Then, when I noticed, it was the evening and the sun was completely set.

“Oh no! My husband is almost here, I forgot to change my clothes.”

It’s dangerous. I hurried back to change.

A pink light dress on and some fresh hair ornaments, when the door of my room was knocked,

“He has returned madam…”

“Is he in the hall……?”

Mimosa is not answering…

“Did something happen Mimosa?”

When I asked again, someone opened the door, and looking back at who it was…

“So… He was with you here already…”

Can’t you wait ! ……Excuse me but I need privacy! I was too upset.

He rushed out to my room after entering the house?

“Wife!!!! Long time no see!”

“How was your day? Al good?”

With a beautiful smile he exclaimed.

“Wow, my wife! You’re beautiful today.”

“Oh, don’t lie please!”

“But it’s cute!”

“???”

I don’t understand his mood, so I just remain looking at him as if -what do you want?-

“I just returned viola. I missed you” he answers with a smile
