Epilogue (2)
“Whoa...”
Tracyana’s face had already turned blue when she got off the carriage.
After riding a carriage for a long time, I arrived at the Sylvania Academy, and as soon as I was appointed, the task I received was to go to the Roth Taylor estate to find Professor Ed. I wish there were all sorts of unreasonable things like this, but it was unavoidable.
Tracyana grabbed a wooden bag full of papers and got off in front of the Ross Taylor mansion.
I was on the wagon for a few days, and I felt dizzy at any moment. Still, I’m glad it arrived once it arrived.
“...I heard that it was broken a lot at Mevular Advent, but there are no signs of that anymore...”
Roth Taylor’s mansion was much larger than it had been in Crepin’s management. Actually, I did.
There was a precarious period, but in the end, the next duke, Tanya Roth-Taylor, and her brother, Ed Roth-Taylor, succeeded in reviving the duke family.
In addition to being protected by powerful forces within the empire, they succeeded in defending their original authority, and they have many people who are armed and strong.
With that in mind, it seemed natural for the Duke of Roth Taylor to continue its heyday.
“I have been contacted in advance, but what are you doing all of a sudden the young lady of the Bloom River family is here?”
When we went inside under the guidance of the vassals, we were greeted by a familiar face.
It is usually the role of the butler or maid to come out with four or four employees and greet guests politely.
“...why is Mr. Belle here?”
“It’s been a while, Miss Tracyana. He was so mature and reliable that he couldn’t even compare it to when he was in the Ophelis Hall, so I almost didn’t recognize him.”
“You scouted from the Roth Taylors? Bell?”
“Yes? No, it’s not that grand, but...”
Tracyana was happy to meet a spherical person as soon as she arrived at Roth Taylor’s mansion, but she didn’t know that the bell would pop out anyway.
Bell Maia is the chief maid who managed the Ophelis Hall, the highest-class dormitory. She was not one to be easily scouted because she was proud of her work and she was not a money lover.
Actually, she tried to get her out of the Elte Chamber several times, but rumors circulated that she failed several times. There was a strong feeling that she decided on her own place.
“Actually... I had a lot of scout-like offers. It was rejected every time. Even if you’re not the Duke of Roth Taylor.”
“Then why are you working as a butler here?”
“That’s... I mean, it’s a bit harsh to say the truth, but I’m a bit of a responsible person. I think I have to take responsibility for it, and if I have to do it, I have to take responsibility for it until the end. So... there’s something I’d like to take responsibility for... For now, I’m leaving the Ophelis building to my successor and coming out this way.”

Maid Jean-Belle Maia is an employee, but she is talented enough to treat her as an executive in Sylvania.
Once seated on the top, it takes care of personnel management, financial management, mansion management, housekeeping, reception of VIPs, and even minor administrative duties, and has a fairly high level of combat capability.
As a staff member, there were no talented people like him, so he was a person who couldn’t be hired by many noble families or influential people. However, the more such a person, the more carefully he chooses the person he should serve.
“Right now, I have two masters, Tanya Roth Taylor and Ed Roth Taylor, so I am only in charge of advisory work on the undergraduate side.”
“Yeah... right...? What it means to be responsible... I won’t ask. First of all, I’m in a difficult state because I’ve been riding the carriage for too long. Can I go inside and take a break and talk about business?”
“Of course. I will guide you.”
Tracyana handed the bag full of papers to the workers and wiped the sweat. It has only moved and moved for the past few days. It was already worn out.
So Tracyana followed Bell Maia into the mansion without saying a long word.
*Once you arrive at the duke’s residence, it is polite to meet and greet the headmaster in charge of the place.
Consisting of a splendid main building, two not-so-small annexes, and a large spire in the center, the Duke of Roth Taylor’s mansion was much larger than it had been in its heyday. It was enough to get lost if I was careless.
In addition to being the largest peasant family on the continent, recently, the authority that seems to pierce the sky has gathered, and in fact, it has risen to the ranks of a prestigious family second only to the Chloe royal family. The size of the mansion, almost the size of a palace, is understandable.
“Since you came to the mansion as a VIP, please say hello to the owner of Tanya once.”
The mansion’s owner, Duchess Tanya Rothtailer, is a student of the Sylvania Academy and student body president.
During the semester, he comes to the academy with the main vassals in charge of house management and basic family affairs, but during vacations like now, he stays in the duke’s residence and handles family affairs.
It’s a huge schedule that makes you feel like you have two bodies, but seeing what you’re actually doing, I thought that Tanya herself was a very talented person.
“There are several distinguished guests inside the Duke of Roth Taylor. Some of you may be familiar with Miss Traceyana, so if you do meet, you won’t be too embarrassed.”
“The distinguished guests? What’s going on?”
“No. The duke’s residence is always visited by distinguished guests. It’s a place where people from all over the empire pop up from time to time, so I recommend that you always be careful about your appearance.”
A place where you can just pass by and meet the distinguished guests, which are rare even in the royal family.
For the maids, it was an almost hellish work environment. It has always been perfect, and little mistakes are unacceptable.
Bel Maia, who wears a maid jacket in such a place, was also not in the mood, but Tracyana knew that she was an extraordinary person.
“Of course, Miss Traceiana, the daughter of the Bloom River, is also a great guest of honor.”
I didn’t forget to add that in case it felt like I was looking down on the other person. Bell Maia was a master of the art of dealing with even the smallest detail.
“Thank you for saying that, but... Actually, I’m not here today as the youngest of the Bloom Rivers.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I’m here today to find Professor Ed as an assistant professor at the Sylvania Academy. I have something to tell you about work.”
Tracyana became an assistant professor. At first, Bell Maia did not show any signs of surprise.
Because it can be rude if you do it wrong. I simply accepted it as it is, and lowered my head with my eyes closed.
“I’m sorry, but our maids can’t accurately judge Ed’s whereabouts.”
“Yes? right?”
“Yes. He’s such a clumsy person, so if he suddenly appears in the mansion... At some point, he goes back to Aken Island again.”
“I looked all over Aken Island, but I couldn’t find it. So I came here.”
“Is that so... Originally, the owner tends to take care of everything that he or she wants to do in advance, but he made me walk like this. I will apologize on behalf of the master.”
At first, Belle Maia, who politely bowed, waved her hand in embarrassment, saying it was okay. It’s like a first-class maid who doesn’t want to leave even the slightest resentment towards my master.
However, the image of a general in charge of the Ophelis building was always strong, so it is refreshing to see someone pick one up and follow him as ‘Master’.
When Yenica blushed and spoke like that, Tracyana figured it out in an instant.
In the first place, this woman is kind and good as she pleases, and if she wants to fall in love with her, she has a simple and gallbladder style.
Ed isn’t that kind of person, but it’s perfect for being the heroine of a tragedy where if you make a mistake, you’re just playing around and throwing it away.
Tracyana opened her half-moon eyes and took a sip of her tea and spoke.
“If that’s about it, start dating him soon... Even if you are, a man who has come this far and doesn’t properly regulate his relationship is garbage, he’s just...”
“Hey, don’t curse Ed...”
“...I’m sorry.”
Actually, the other man’s bowl is too big. Speaking of the owner of the Duke of Roth Taylor, it is difficult to treat him as an equal, no matter how much he holds the title of baron.
Actually, I don’t think there’s anything like authority between Ed and Yenika, but if that goes beyond a man and woman relationship and becomes a marriage relationship, it’s a different story.
“You are starting to feel a sense of crisis. Now that I have made a career out of it, there will be quite a lot of writers who are looking for Professor Ed... At that time, I’ll try to be a little more active, will you hit the ground and regret it?”
“Well, since you’re talking so directly... it’s hard to say...”
Yenika crawled her head and spoke with difficulty.
“Certainly, there are a lot of women coming and going to Duke Roth Taylor’s residence..... I, too, felt a sense of urgency...”
“Yes? That’s... definitely a major step forward.”
“By the way, there are people who say they are like me... Last week, Saint Clarisse didn’t come here just to see her face, or Lortel, the representative of the Elte Chamber of Commerce, suddenly came.. .”
They are so big that even hearing their names together makes you sweat.
A silent prayer was held for the workers at the Roth Taylor mansion. Every day will feel like you are walking on thin ice.
“I’d rather say that I’m terrified.... Now that Ed has become such a formidable person, I wonder if he’ll fit in with someone like me...”
“...Yes?”
“And, this is... umm... it’s hard to say how...”
Yenika glances around again, lowers her voice and speaks.
“Well, it is said that once you become the owner of a duke family, it is common for you to have multiple women alone...?”
“...Yenika...”
“Hey, please don’t look at me like that. Yeah, I know that Ed isn’t just that prodigal. But, if that’s the case... can I be a part of it...? Sometimes I feel like that, sometimes I don’t, and it’s a little different to not do it, and it’s a little too much to think about it like that... It feels like my morals can’t keep up in the first place... But if you don’t think about such a possibility in advance. ..”
Seeing Yenica gibberish, Tracyana was speechless.
In the first place, what’s the point of trying to become a concubine? It wasn’t that I didn’t know the character of Yenica, who had low self-esteem compared to her outstanding abilities, but it wasn’t.
“It’s something I shouldn’t be so sure about, but at least for Professor Ed, Yenica, you’re special enough. You can have a little more self-esteem.”
“He, he, he, thank you so much for saying that... hehe...”
Tracyana lamented as she saw Yenica’s lips twitching up.
“So, you should think about becoming a worthy companion. To be honest, Jenika if you lie down and look at me, Professor Ed will look at you right away.”
“Yes, but then Ed is in trouble...”
I mean, I don’t want to bother Ed under any circumstances. If possible, I want to help...”
I don’t know the pure nature of that blank paper. So Tracy Ana almost lost her mind.
To herself as a snob, Yenika, such a celestial girl, doesn’t match well...!
“Yeah... Yenika, whatever you think it is, it’s up to you. I’m not going to argue about that. However, it’s nice to see him fall into jealousy after losing Professor Ed by another woman...”
“Well, that’s...”
I can’t answer Tracyana’s words in haste as to whether Yenica has something to worry about.
It is said that all kinds of women come and go in Ed’s mansion. Some will even be seriously trying to snatch Ed away. Even Tracyana is noticing that.
Actually, Yenika was also aware of the fact that Ed had many women’s clothes. Most of her didn’t build up as much rapport as Jenica. But even so, she was not at all reassured.
The person who stimulates Jenica’s nerves more than anyone is probably...
“Hello.”
When I heard a dull voice, I turned my head.
The little girl who appeared with the assistance of two maids is a figure no one would have known if she had attended Sylvania Academy.
A rare genius wizard, Lucy Meryl.
Rumors were circulating that he had now left Sylvania and entrusted himself to the Roth Taylor mansion. The rumors were true.
“Lou, Lucy?”
“Yes. Hello.”
– ‘You are the daughter of the Bloom River family. There is a need for a little more... special interaction.’
– ‘There are very few opportunities like this! Let’s approach it more closely...!’
One of the maids standing behind Lucy carefully lowered her head and whispered in Lucy’s ear.
Lucy came to one side of the tea table, swaying with a face that was bothered by the world, sat down, and buried her head on the table.
The attire was a neat social dress, and the hair was shiny and neatly rolled down.
I didn’t know it when she rolled on the grass in a school uniform that didn’t even fit her size and an old witch hat, but Lucy looks like a pretty girl when dressed up.
– ‘You need to make your body more elegant. It’s rude in front of the author Youngae-nim.’
The maid who kept whispering behind my back was really bothering me.
– ‘If you want to interact more with distinguished guests, you must behave with dignity. Now, please straighten your back.’
Lucy straightened her back with a look of death in the world. There was little blood on his face.
Tresiana was speechless after seeing the scene.
As always, Lucy was the same.
