The Maid of the Grand Ducal House Writes a Counseling Log Today, Chapter 5
Yulias also flinched slightly when their eyes met, but he spoke hesitantly.
“If you are in your room, I will have a servant prepare the food again. ……And the medical treatment as well.”
Sheila bowed without a word. Before entering her room, she repeatedly turned back to look several times.
The child’s gaze was to check whether Elysia was still standing there without leaving.
The door closed, and only then did Elysia rise from her spot.
“……I have caused quite a disturbance.”
Elysia seemed completely unfazed despite the state of her clothes, which were a mess from the food.
Yulias, who was bothered by that appearance, stopped her as she was passing by.
“Wait.”
“Yes?”
“Do you intend to return home looking like that? Change your clothes.”
“Oh, no. It’s fine. I can just go home and wash this…….”
It was just when Elysia was flustering about to decline politely.
“Sister!”
A familiar, booming voice echoed from the first-floor lobby. Elysia’s head turned rapidly.
At the sudden unfamiliar voice, Yulias’s brow furrowed.
As they moved toward the central staircase on the second floor, they saw Joshua standing beside Hilmaiten in the lobby.
“It’s Sister!”
He was like a baby bird chirping loudly as if he had found his mother bird. As the child’s voice grew louder, the attendants whispered and glanced over.
“Who is that child now?”
“He is my younger brother. I am truly sorry, Your Grace.”
Elysia apologized quickly and moved even before receiving an answer.
Her calm demeanor vanished, and she hurried down the stairs as if leaping, quickly reaching Joshua.
She knelt down without hesitation to meet his eyes.
“Joshua. How did you get here?”
“By walking!! People told me the way! If I go straight this way! The Grand Ducal House would appear!”
Elysia glanced up at Hilmaiten.
Surely, it must have been Hilmaiten who took in the child who was throwing a tantrum at the front gate to let him in.
He merely smiled, picking up on the situation.
This is a situation where I shouldn’t fall further out of favor.
Elysia muttered to herself, but Joshua raised his voice even louder as if excited.
“It’s super wide! It’s a castle! It looks like a prince and princess would live here!!”
Joshua giggled and hopped around here and there. At the sight of the distracted child, the attendants flinched and backed away.
And Yulias, who was looking down from the center of the second floor, discovered Sheila following him, having likely heard the noise.
The gazes of the two met for a moment, but both quickly looked away without exception.
“Joshua. Joshua?”
Elysia calmly took Joshua by the shoulders. Joshua still could not hide his excitement and said,
“Sister! Are we going to live here now?! Then we can see the Grand Duke too! And we can eat lots of delicious food now!”
“Joshua.”
Elysia brought her index finger to her lips and smiled.
Joshua, who knew the meaning of that, closed his mouth tightly with a ‘huff,’ realizing he was raising his voice.
And he even covered his mouth tightly with both hands.
“Sister came here because I want to work. And this is not our home. You know that, right?”
Joshua nodded his head instead of answering.
“Right, then since we raised our voices in a place that isn’t our home, we should apologize, right? Hmm?”
As Elysia spoke while moving her lips calmly, Joshua, who was staring intently at her mouth, nodded his head repeatedly.
“Now, let’s greet the owner of this Residence properly and apologize.”
“Okay.”
Joshua replied in a calmer voice than before.
Elysia patted his shoulder, looked around once, and turned her head toward Yulias, who was in the center of the second floor.
Joshua, who turned his body following her, bowed deeply at the waist.
“I am Joshua. It is an honor to meet you, Grand Duke.”
The image of him shouting distractedly and being excited vanished, and the eyes of the boy, who was delivering his greeting clearly in a calm voice, were sparkling.
Yulias, who was watching that sight, merely mouthed the words ‘Very well’ and nodded his head slightly.
Elysia looked back and forth between the two, then tapped Joshua’s shoulder.
“Now you should apologize. Let’s apologize together with Sister.”
“Okay.”
Joshua spoke in a calm voice this time as well.
“We are sorry for causing a disturbance.”
“I am sorry, Your Grace.”
Elysia and Joshua bowed politely at the waist.
Sheila, who had not left her spot, was staring intently at Elysia. Seeing that, interest flickered in Yulias’s gaze.
Perhaps Joshua noticed Sheila too, as his calm eyes began to sparkle.
“Oh! A friend! It’s a girl!!”
Joshua pointed his finger at Sheila and shouted. Seeing that, the attendants whispered in horror.
“Did he just point his finger at the Lady?”
“Openly like that? As expected of an uneducated household…….”
Hearing the maids whispering, Elysia did not show any reaction. Instead, she bowed her head toward Sheila.
“Joshua, that person is the Lady.”
“Then she’s not a friend?!”
“Since it’s your first meeting, why don’t you try greeting her? Just like you did a moment ago. You can become friends after that.”
Elysia persuaded Joshua in a soft tone. The child, who was listening as closely as possible to her words, nodded his head.
“Greetings, Lady. I am Joshua.”
Joshua greeted her once more with courtesy. Flinching at that sight, Sheila took a step back.
Yulias glanced at Sheila’s reaction out of the corner of his eye and looked back at the two people in the lobby.
The four people, whose differences started from their attire, were standing in different positions.
Elysia was covered in food, and Joshua was a mess here and there, as if his journey here had been rough.
“Did you say your name is Elysia?”
When Yulias spoke, everyone except Joshua held their breath.
“I will tell them to prepare new clothes, so let us talk after you wash up and treat your injuries.”
“Um, if you say that…….”
“I have something to ask you, so you must give me more of your time.”
Yulias was about to turn around after finishing his sentence, then paused.
“The same goes for your younger brother. He appears to be injured.”
“Pardon?”
Elysia hurriedly checked Joshua. Joshua’s knees were scraped, and the blood had dried up.
“It doesn’t hurt at all!! Really!”
Joshua forced a bright voice. Elysia nodded her head, suppressing her upset feelings.
Sheila watched that scene from afar and tried to head to her room.
“Sheila.”
“…….”
“While I converse with Elysia, you stay with her younger brother.”
At Yulias’s words, Sheila opened her mouth wide. It felt like being struck by lightning.
To be left alone with a boy she was seeing for the first time?
And with a child as unpredictable as that?
When Sheila shook her head without a word, Yulias furrowed his brow.
“If you dislike it, say so directly with your own mouth.”
“…….”
“If you do not speak with your mouth, I will take it as an affirmative.”
At Yulias’s words, Sheila shut her mouth tightly. Her expression darkened rapidly, and in the end, she had no choice but to nod her head.
Yulias let out a deep sigh at Sheila’s attitude.
“Hilmaiten. As you just heard, prepare new clothes, a room where they can wash, and things to treat their injuries.”
“Yes, Your Grace.”
Hilmaiten bowed politely and guided Elysia and Joshua.
The two followed behind him, looking bewildered.
Watching the two walk away, Sheila glanced at Yulias with a complicated gaze.
His gaze was fixed on Elysia, who could not hide her embarrassment.
‘Perhaps…… she could be of great help.’
It was something not in his plans, but seeing the situation unfolding before his eyes, his thoughts changed.
However, without knowing Yulias’s inner thoughts, Sheila fidgeted with both hands.
It was uncomfortable enough to be with an unfamiliar child, but to tell her to speak directly if she disliked it…….
Something like that…….
‘You’re just a lucky idiot who met good parents.’
‘Hypocrite!’
‘You’re the Lady of the Grand Ducal House, and you don’t even know how to speak for yourself?’
The voices that cackled and ridiculed dominated her mind.
In the end, Sheila turned around and ran toward her room.
