"Um, when I say my husband...?"
"I am your immediate master who I serve as a maid." I can't say my name here, but I'm an old woman. He liked my embroidery. ”
Marie replied faintly to Nell's terrified question.
Thinking that it would be natural for the opponent to be confused, he dared to calm down. I know very well that if you raise the opponent or the master too much, you will lead to suspicion as it is.
With Nell and her eyes straight together, she once again unfurled Nell's prototype embroidery.
Marie thinks that the embroidery she's supposed to receive from Jeanne is fantastic without the eyebrows. As Nell said in the tea tale, although the design is unfamiliar and unfamiliar in one's own country, the beauty remains unchanged. I think that the fact that it can't be sold is simply because it is [strange] or [plain] in the eyes of the public.
This design is undoubtedly beautiful, not only for embroidery and sewing, but also for Marie, who is deeply artistic and artistic. I am convinced that the amount she offers is worth it.
Yes, I filled it with more words with confidence. "How about that?" Nell turned her back slightly and twitched her smile.
"Wait, you really liked one of these embroidery...?" I'm glad you praised me, but I'm not convinced. ”
"Yes, that's why I want you to make sure this embroidery isn't the only one." I have taken the time to do so. "
Of course, I wanted to be friends with you. While saying that, Marie didn't have time to give it back.
According to the policy of the employer, it is common sense that the maid has few or no holidays. And I deposited the embroidery with Jeanne just two days ago. Nevertheless, I was able to get a rest immediately because of the proof my husband had given me.
Thinking about Marie's position as a maid, Nell guessed with a sense of skin that she was probably the person entrusted with the proper position.
No matter what her upbringing and grand behavior may be, I don't think she's a maid hired around here. I think that maybe it is not just a maid hired to guarantee a certain amount of food and clothing, but a position where she receives even a salary. If so, I can't help but mourn for having a cup of tea at the café in the capital.
Nell, who had been talking to each other about embroidery and the world until just now, only knew that Marie was still a maid.
Jeanne's acquaintance was also a friendly person, but now she wanted to stay at a distance of about one meter and ask how she was doing.
Seeing that Nell's shoulders narrowed, Marie exhaled in small breaths. I understand that it is only natural for her to be vigilant. It may be right for her to be so distracted, even if she is much younger than herself. It is not uncommon in the castle to have fraudulent acts aimed at young people who are scorched by dreams.
Nowadays, the only trust that supports you is that your hobbies are compatible and that you are a mutual friend of Jeanne.
"...... As a result of meeting you and showing you the product, I have decided that I would like to introduce my husband based on his personality and the beauty of his work. My husband has asked me to invite you today, at my discretion.”
While saying that, proceed to prepare to stand in a calm motion.
From Marie, who talked happily before, I can only feel the unique air of an adult woman now. Nell also quietly drank the rest of the cup to match Marie. I enjoyed my conversation with her so much, but I can't help it if I don't want to be friends with her unless I get on the deal.
I put the spread embroidery and the work back in the trunk thinking that I would ask Jeanne for the last time, even if it was only because of his connection with him.
After checking Nell's movements, Marie also politely returned the embroidery she had been given to take away from the prototype, saying, "Thank you."
To be honest, it's a shame Marie and I broke up here as Nell. Compliment me on my work at the corner, because I have met a woman who speaks to me so much since I returned to Freesia. Moreover, if the opponent called "Master" was a merchant or nobleman who really liked his work, now he would have thrown away the opportunity to make a corner.
But more than that, this story is too good.
In the past, people have travelled across the country and conducted business talks and negotiations themselves, and some people have tried to take away their work rights and products in an unjust way, such as being caught in the hands of another famous store, or being praised and exhausted by praise.
The only thing they have in common is that the first impression is not so good. She could not believe Marie's words when she peacefully defeated her opponents after seeing the unsold craftsman's feet from there.
Pack your bags and slowly step away from your seat. Marie, who was calling out for accounts, took Nell's wallet out. It's expensive, but it's not something she can't pay for working as a school teacher.
But Marie cut it out in one word before she could say, “No, thank you,” and paid the clerk for the two of them.
No, that's about it. When I open my wallet, Marie stops in a clear tone.
"If you really want to tell me, please pay me directly to my husband." Or, you can think of it as the fee for the future. "
"From now on...?" Nell unexpectedly raised an eyebrow.
It was unexpected to her that she would be taken somewhere like this.
However, when I was told to go directly to my husband, I felt the imposition. If she wants to take herself somewhere from the beginning, she can take care of herself. Marie is the only one who can escape, but she can't win if her people are waiting.
As suspicion of Marie, who was gradually about halfway through, spread to half, Nell grabbed the trunk with her wallet. Marie opens her mouth again, as if a hand reads it, if she thinks of running away from the store.
"In my position, I can't talk about my husband." Therefore, I will guide you to my husband. If you feel a little uneasy, you can go home. Personally, I would be happy if you could communicate with me even if I can't meet you in person in the future..... "
Marie dives through the door opened by the clerk while continuing to ask her husband to stop forcing her to refuse.
It was Marie who chose the cafe, but it was also strong to make her understand to some extent her identity and position as a [maid]. In the café of the capital, there are no people who bother to use it for light fraud, and even if they are maids, everyone can assume that there are enough assets and shields behind them. And the place that I am going to now is the [safest] place in the country.
I pulled my trunk and looked back at Nell, who was leaving the store with my back turned. Marie glanced straight back at her, relieved that she hadn't tried to run away yet.
"If you lose this opportunity, I'm sure you'll regret it." And I swear to you, my master is not the kind of person who would trick you. "
Nell tied her lips to Marie's words, who saw through what she suspected.
The thin shoulders shake small, and the throat rattles with tension. I have been spoken similarly before. Nell would normally turn herself away without hesitation, but she was strangely depressed by the woman in front of her.
Unlike fear, her words did not sound like lies to her majestic spine and eyes. Her legs naturally follow her, which is not so clear as to make her yearn for the same woman.
She followed Marie's back as she rolled around with her rattling trunk.
If anything happens, I repeat in my head the arithmetic for avoiding the crisis with one woman. Don't worry, if you try to follow a strange path, you can escape immediately.
Marie, who was unwary, did not try to follow a truly unusual path.
Be sure to choose a lively, crowded road, and choose a square with a fountain, a market for advanced customers, and a main street.
Perhaps she would be taken to a large shop in the capital, but Marie would be strange not to reveal her husband's name. Even civilians can hire maids with money, but such a big man doesn't have to hide his name. There is no point in hiding a name that has become known, and that alone leads to trust. That's the kind of seller who hides his name, or a very small number of high-ranking nobles and royals. If you're not so secretive, you don't need to keep quiet with your maidservant.
"... and I forgot to mention it."
Check that the funnels are behind you as you continue along a certain trajectory.
With her face raised to Marie's words, she took a small breath. I'm not tired, but I don't know where I'm going or who I'm going to meet, and I'm thirsty if my palms get wet at this stage. It's like a lie that I hated black tea a while ago.
Marie didn't care about Nell, who looked up at the other person without responding. Ning Ning's vigilant girlfriend was even impressed in the corner of her head. I think that it was only because the woman was so vigilant that she was able to protect her own work no matter what kind of situation or proposal she received. Otherwise, it was no longer her work, but it could have been cheaply sold to a foreign country with unusual tastes.
………………
Nell threw words and shut her mouth.
Marie, who never wanted to continue, twisted her neck tinyly. If you forgot to say it, you walk down a dirt road, hoping to say it first.
I walked, I walked, I walked, I walked all the way to the back of the castle. Nell was worried that the crowded districts were slowly moving away, but she hadn't turned back yet, considering the direction she was heading.
Instead of being less crowded, they were now approaching the higher-level residential areas in the capital. Thinking that he was still a senior nobleman, his expectations finally swelled slightly.
It depends on who the opponent is, and it depends on the negotiation, but if you are still a superior nobleman, you are definitely a guest for the craftsman. That's why if you leave one type of dress embroidery to me, your target savings will be closer.
Moreover, if you go out in that dress and meet people, that's all you have to do for publicity. It is a valuable opportunity for Nell to capture the best customers.
As her gaze progressed, she thought that her destination might be there, but Marie's legs didn't stop at all.
It progresses at a constant speed, giving no mansion a glimpse. I was already familiar with it, and I went deeper into it as part of the same view as the surrounding trees.
Without a doubt, Marie, who was only on the road that was really too safe, began to feel a bit of anxiety, as well as Nell. The palm of her hand became wet in a different way this time without even trying to turn it straight along the large, wide, well-maintained road.
No, I don't think so. Your face is growing stronger on its own as you shake off your delusions that you are about to pass.
She usually only walks from school to home, and she knows very well that this road is only safe. Depending on the road, a suspicious carriage was waiting for her, and she was the first to warn herself that there was a danger of getting stuck in it, but that's not possible on a road like this. If there is such a strange carriage, it is only a very big man or a fool.
Finally, I couldn't even see the mansion around me.
The trees spread out like a forest, and the sounds of the trees were quiet except for the natural objects. With so much quietness and nothing else to go on, as if to demonstrate his delusions, Nell wanted to stop in the opposite sense from the beginning.
I wish I could confirm it with a single shout, but I was afraid to confirm it, and I didn't have the courage to do so. While pulling down the rattling trunk, he looked at his own outfit, which was supposed to be as fashionable as he could be.
I want to doubt the geographic knowledge in my mind that I should have been confident in. When I noticed, I carefully wiped the sweat off my clothes with a handkerchief. At the very least, if the makeup does not collapse any more, I want to have time to look in the mirror.
Even if the destinations are different, it's more aweful to get close to them in this outfit. [No way] Marie finally stopped when she repeated the words of [a hundred]. “That's what I just said,” I said, looking back at her body.
"Please keep secret from Jeanne and the others what I serve." I have a duty of confidentiality. "
He lets the air out as he leaves the gate.
There's only one structure left on their way. Whoever lives in this land is once a scorching land.
Everyone, even the people living under the castle and the people living in the royal capital, can look up and think. The castle, home to the royalty of the Kingdom of Freesia, is a longing for the whole country.
It was a vast castle that could not stay in sight, and the most visible was the castle gate caught between the walls. The chosen guards are standing, and they are already on their way to the point where they enter their sight.
At the café, Nell, who was supposed to be quite determined towards Marie, was shivering and convulsing as she stepped further.
Still, I walk in a clumsy motion pulled by the word "let's go", but it's slower than before. The sweat from the face once wiped is not stop, and only the throat is dry and the muscles of the face are twitching.
Once stopped at the gate to be checked by the guards, Nell lowers to hide behind Marie, whispering to herself to get her heart ready before she dives there.
"Um... does your husband live in the castle?"
Yeah, it's definitely called 'Castle House'.
Living in a castle alone, its authority is immeasurable.
In the castle, there were nobles who were allowed to live, including the upper echelons of the country. Thinking of which nobleman's daughter, Nell's legs were already trembling.
When I was called the maid of honor of a nobleman with rights in the country, I was convinced of the majesty I felt towards Marie. If you meet the gatekeepers, Marie will let them go inside without having to name herself. But this time, I asked her who the woman behind the guard was. Her response was simple.
“I'm a guest of the Lord. I think we've already talked about it.”
I took you with me. As I told you, I briefly introduced Nell, and the guards were also polite and thankful.
If you become Marie's main guest, of course they will respect you too.
Unexpectedly, Nell lowers her head deeply after being thanked by the guards who allowed her to work in the castle. She is unfamiliar with the guards herself.
Marie stopped once again when the gate was easily opened.
Nell, who was busy looking at the castle for the first time, bumped into Marie inadvertently, but she stopped with her legs together. Once she was inside the castle, Marie didn't have to hide herself anymore.
"I'll walk ahead, so let the guard arrange the carriage." I will guide you to the [King's House] where the First Princess of Pride lives. "
Marie could not afford to be too vigilant about the carriage.
Pu... Princess Ryde...... and Nell, who knew her name, returned but their voices were calm. Even though the word "King Ji" is a shock like being hit in the head, the name of pride is much more than that.
Unwittingly letting go of her trunk while she stopped, Nell couldn't figure out how to breathe.
Marie's innocence is proved more than ever when she got inside the castle. Rather, you don't have to come here and tell a lie. No matter what kind of opponent, everyone living in the castle is in the sky.
Marie turned back to Nell, who was stunned. Report the arrival of the carriage and pride to the guard stationed inside the castle gate.
Even that casual exchange was bad for Nell's heart. I don't want to understand why the [maid] in front of me hasn't been able to talk about her husband so far.
If you think that the temperature in your body has risen sharply, you can feel the sudden drop and busy changing, and your posture will stretch as if you stabbed your back with a ruler.
Maid basically doesn't have much prestige to herself, no matter how great her master is. But there are also a handful of maids with positions.
"Let me introduce myself again." My name is Marie Claireland and I will be your personal maid of honor for the First Princess of Pride Royal Ivy. Thank you so much for everything you've done so far. ”
On behalf of my husband, I would like to thank you. Having said that, Marie was distracted by Nell, who bowed her head politely.
…
…
So, how was Tiara?
"It's okay, it's as expected by niisama." I had a little bit of trouble with Lieutenant Harrison. "
I couldn't imagine the sight of the First Princess smiling bitterly at her brother and sister's conversation.
