The next morning, Chizuru woke up with a faint sound of someone moving around in the room .
It is immediately clear from the window that the sun is already shining brightly and it seems that a considerable amount of time has passed since sunrise . I shook my vague head because of my low blood pressure, slowly raised my upper body and looked around, and there was Arde, who was wiping the floor .
” good morning Chizuru . Did I wake up?”
Arde raised her face from the floor and greeted lively .
“no, it’s okay . Good morning Arde … how long have you been here?”
” not so long ago . I’m sorry . You must have been tired, Lukrov sama told me to let me sleep as much as you want . ”\n” Lukrov did?”
“Yes”
Arde stood up from the floor and smiled at Chizuru while squeezing a cloth like a rag into the apron belt . “I’ve already heard rumors about last night from all over the place! It seems that Chizuru-sama was able to calm down Lukrov-sama and the Duke of Roan in a blink of an eye … ”
Chizuru sank her face into the sheets and groaned briefly .
Why are rumors so exaggerated and widespread in this world? Moreover, judging from Arde’s story, it seems that breakfast time has already passed . Even though it was a long night, I overslept in the morning .
Of course, Lukrov was no longer there . \n“Lukrov is already outside . I’m busy today because the Duke of Roan’s welcome party will start in the evening . I’ve given you some remarks because it’s unclear when we’ll meet . ”
Chizuru raised her face from the sheets and shook her head toward the maid who did not break her meaningful smile .
“What?”
“First of all … it’s a feast, many stores are gathered in the training ground square . Lukrov sama said tha Chizuru-sama could buy as many things as she want . It’s wonderful!”
“No matter how much …? Hmm …”
Having trouble answering, Chizuru mumbled her words . \nI don’t know what kind of store will be opened, but even now, I’m pretty reluctant to spend Lukrov’s gold as I like . Chizuru isn’t a spender in the first place, and now that she’s heard Lukrov’s confession, I don’t think it’s okay to obey his favor anymore .
Well, if you buy something at a small food stall, you’re already taken care of both sleeping and eating, so isn’t there a big difference?
“Okay . Did he say anything else?”
“Yes . First of all, don’t drink alcohol even if offered . ”
“…………”
“After the sun goes down, the music and dance will start . I was told you to dress you up properly to go out with Lukrov . ”
Arde’s eyes are shining happily . “As the night gets deeper, people become more and more rude . There are many people who talk to young girls who are interested in it . I’m sure Lukrov is worried about it . ”
Lukrov is worried …?
I wonder if he is .
After their night, Chizuru was still not sure how the relationship between the two of them had changed . Lukrov’s trauma is so deep that the more she tries to look into the bottom, the less she knows how to fill the gap between them . Maybe time really heals everything, or maybe it doesn’t .
