The Grand Ducal House Maid Writes a Counseling Log Today – Chapter 062
Yulias looked at him and let out a scoff.
“……That you know better than me.”
Edward tilted his head slightly.
Instead of words, his gaze was saying that he did.
Yulias bit his lip so hard it bled and clenched his fists, while Edward spoke with his arms crossed.
“Lady Sheila, didn’t you say she needs a tutor?”
“What?”
Yulias frowned at the sudden change of topic.
Edward continued, staring toward the window directly ahead.
“I asked if she didn’t need a tutor. Who do you think would be suited for that role?”
The corner of Yulias’s mouth twisted.
“Surely you’re not trying to say it’s you.”
“Well, now. If I were Sheila’s older brother, and a person who could suppress her mana while perfectly fulfilling the role of a tutor was right in front of me…….”
Edward’s gaze slowly turned back toward Yulias.
“I don’t think I would let that opportunity slip away.”
-Thud!
Yulias struck the door with his fist to suppress his anger.
“Don’t flap your jaws so recklessly, Edward.”
“I’m not just flapping my jaws, I’m being realistic. Yulias, you pursue ‘reality,’ don’t you? Not something ‘abstract.'”
Edward emphasized the words reality and abstract.
As if he had completely figured out Yulias’s personality.
Yulias glared at him with blazing eyes, looking as if he would pounce at any moment.
Edward let out a small sigh, then moved to slowly open the office door.
“Fine, since you say I’m flapping my jaws, let me say just one more thing, Yulias May Demint.”
Soon, a low voice resonated within the room.
“How long do you think that realistic perspective of yours will last? Why people can’t let go of the abstract, of that ‘romance’ you think is foolish…… Go on and think about it carefully with that brilliant brain of yours.”
Then, just before the door closed, he added briefly.
“Of course, I don’t harbor a shred of expectation that you’ll realize anything just by thinking. You’ve always been that kind of bastard anyway.”
Left alone after the office door closed, Yulias bowed his head deeply.
The thing Yulias considered most pathetic.
Those were intangible dreams, goals, and things like romance.
Things that ignored reality and had a remarkably low chance of coming true.
Edward had poked right at that.
He left after throwing out a question that what Yulias thought was the correct answer might actually be wrong.
Yulias stared at the closed office door.
Sensing no presence, it seemed Edward had already left the residence.
It was a feat possible because he was the Tower Master.
Letting out a low sigh, he wiped his weary face with his hands.
Every single word Edward spoke stabbed into him like a sharp dagger.
Intangible emotions like ‘love’ and ‘romance’.
Because of them, people dedicate everything, destroy everything, and change into something inhuman.
That was why Yulias failed to understand it all the more, kept his distance, and believed he would never have to face it in his entire life.
Yet the moment Edward brought up that story, Yulias unconsciously thought of Elysia.
At the same time, a realistic calculation followed the words ‘Sheila’s role as a tutor.’
There was virtually no one who could replace Edward.
Rather, now that he had proposed it first, it was a good opportunity.
Furthermore, not only Sheila but also Joshua had decided to take the lessons.
With complicated emotions intertwined, Yulias blinked his bloodshot eyes.
“……Damn it.”
He threw the office door wide open.
His unhesitating steps headed straight toward Sheila’s room.

At that time, Sheila’s room.
Elysia gazed down quietly at the two sleeping children.
Looking at Sheila and Joshua sleeping peacefully, she tucked the blanket around them more thoroughly.
As she gently placed her hand on Sheila’s forehead, her body temperature was moderately warm.
Without a single strange sign, the child was sleeping soundly.
Elysia let out a sigh of relief and rose from the edge of the bed.
-Knock, knock.
She turned her head at the faint sound of knocking.
Approaching noiselessly to open the door, she found a tired-looking Yulias standing there.
“……Are they both asleep.”
At his low question, Elysia nodded her head.
Yulias’s gaze directed toward the bed.
Sheila and Joshua were lying side by side, fast asleep.
After looking down at the children for a moment, he withdrew his gaze.
“……I have something to ask you, could you spare some time?”
Elysia nodded without a word.
Then, examining his complexion, she asked carefully.
“What about Master Edward…….”
“He left.”
It was an unhesitating answer.
Elysia’s shoulders flinched imperceptibly.
Without asking further, she simply nodded lightly.
Yulias turned his head to stare toward the hallway window.
Because the weather was fine, the sunlight was streaming in dazzlingly.
“……Do you like walking.”
Elysia blinked her eyes wide.
A walk? All of a sudden?
Yulias looked at her, then motioned with his chin as if telling her to go.
Elysia carefully closed Sheila’s room door and stepped outside.
She quietly followed behind him as he began to walk ahead.
In the silent hallway, only the distant footsteps and faint voices of the servants occasionally brushed past.
Yulias headed toward the end of the hallway and began descending a staircase that was rarely used by people.
Elysia also followed behind him without a word.
Upon reaching the first floor, he opened a side door instead of the main gate leading to the central lobby.
It was a door normally used by the servants, and also a shortcut to the garden.
Yulias held the door open, waiting as if signaling her to step out first.
Elysia hesitated for a brief moment before stepping outside the door.
The garden path stretched out straight ahead.
The bushes visible on both sides looked fresh under the sunlight, and the air carried a peaceful, almost serene atmosphere.
While Elysia gazed at the scenery, he came to stand beside her.
“……Shall we go.”
Startled, Elysia looked up at Yulias.
Yulias stared at her in silence before shifting his gaze as if to move forward.
Naturally, the two of them stepped forward side by side.
The silence continued.
The chirping of birds, the sound of tree branches swaying in the wind…….
Their steps continued at a pace that was beyond leisurely, even slow.
As if both of them wished for this garden path to never end.
The one who broke the silence first was Yulias.
“……That fellow offered to act as Sheila’s tutor.”
That fellow?
Elysia pondered for just a moment before realizing that the person Yulias was referring to was Edward.
Wondering what she should say, she merely nodded her head.
Yulias, still staring straight ahead, asked.
“What do you think. ……As Joshua’s older sister.”
Joshua’s older sister.
Those words were asking for her opinion not as a maid of the Demint Family, but simply as a person with a younger sibling.
Elysia also kept her eyes fixed straight ahead, matching his stride.
“……I think it’s a good opportunity. If it’s the Tower Master and no one else…… it’s an opportunity that might come once in a lifetime for anyone. Furthermore, the Lady’s current physical condition is unstable, and Master Edward is also the person who knows Joshua best.”
Yulias stopped walking first.
Elysia, who had been walking beside him, stopped as well and looked up at him.
Yulias’s gaze slowly directed toward her.
“What about you.”
“Pardon?”
Behind the short question, the sunlight brushed against his face.
His orange eyes, holding the light, sparkled even more vividly.
“I wondered if you were perfectly fine with it.”
