The Grand Ducal House Maid Writes a Counseling Log Today – Chapter 069
Elysia paused for a moment.
When considering it objectively.
Was Yulias’s personality terrible? Yes, it was.
Then was his younger sister Sheila’s personality just as formidable? That was also true.
But the problem lay elsewhere.
‘So, is he asking if both my sister and I have terrible personalities right now?’
With the person in question asking so directly, how many people would actually answer, “Yes, that’s right!”?
At the very least, Elysia was not that kind of person.
She kept her head lowered in silence.
“……I am sorry.”
Yulias let out a small smirk.
The look in his eyes was like a child who had discovered an entertaining toy.
Yulias rested his chin on his hands right over the desk, staring intently at her.
“What are you sorry for? Saying my personality is terrible? ……Or saying that Sheila, who looks exactly like me, has a terrible personality too?”
“…….”
Once again, Elysia could not say a single word.
Yulias delivered the final blow.
“You aren’t denying it.”
Elysia flinched slightly and shook her head.
He touched the corner of his mouth, trying his best not to laugh.
“Out of all things…… since I was the one who suggested we talk without titles or ranks, I don’t even have a justification to take issue with it.”
Elysia cautiously raised her head, testing the waters.
He crossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders.
At that sight, Elysia forced her lips up into a tearful smile.
Then, she began to pour out all sorts of compliments.
“Grand Duke Yulias is truly a wonderful person……! You are kind, gentle, sweet…….”
As the compliments flowed one after another, Yulias completely lowered his head.
To think that Yulias May Demint was a good person.
And that he was kind, gentle, and sweet, no less.
Even a wild dog living in the North would snort with laughter at those words.
It was a compliment so excessive that anyone would think it went too far, but strangely enough, Elysia’s words carried sincerity.
Yulias felt embarrassed and, at the same time, had to barely hold himself back from letting his shoulders puff up with pride.
He wiped his face with one hand and exhaled like a groan.
“……Alright, I get it, so tell me how you plan to practice.”
Elysia blinked her eyes and smiled.
“First of all, how about offering a meal invitation to the Lady again?”
“A meal invitation, you say…… That meal which was flatly rejected in the past.”
Elysia quietly closed her mouth.
Sheila mostly ate her meals in her own room with Joshua.
Or at most, it was the three of them eating together with Elysia.
In other words, that dining arrangement was effectively a space where other people’s participation was not permitted.
Elysia slowly rolled her eyes, falling into deep thought.
Still, if they gathered and ate around the table together, they would surely grow closer……
Besides, Sheila had once spoken directly ‘words’ to Yulias.
The urgent situation when the Princess and the prince visited.
Elysia, who had been present at the time, also knew just how pressing the situation had been.
And on the day they first met Edward, Sheila had even inadvertently muttered a word while being held in Yulias’s arms.
However, since only Yulias heard those words, it was something she didn’t know about.
He remained silent for a moment as if contemplating, then threw out like a monologue.
“Isn’t it about time for lessons to end.”
Elysia turned her head and looked at the clock in the Office.
Edward’s lesson would end in exactly ten minutes.
“Yes, that’s right…… Why don’t you go and make the suggestion this time?”
The timing was exquisitely perfect.
Once the lesson ended, she would naturally be hungry, and he could naturally suggest a meal.
Yulias lightly pressed his temples.
“What should I suggest?”
“Well, just ask her to have a meal together…….”
As she spoke, Elysia suddenly shut her mouth.
And with her lips, she mumbled, ‘Ah, right!’
Yulias, this man……
Even with such a simple meal invitation, he would beat around the bush for no reason, and if things went wrong, he was the kind of person who could make it sound like a threat.
Elysia lightly clapped her hands as if something had crossed her mind.
“Then let’s write a letter!”
Yulias twitched one of his eyebrows.
“……A letter?”
Elysia pointed at the Parchment on his desk.
“You don’t even need to write it long. It’s fine to just write the business briefly! You just need to convey your sincere desire to eat together!”
Yulias had a skeptical look in his eyes, but he reluctantly nodded his head.
Five minutes later.
A fair amount of crumpled Parchment piled up on top of the desk.
Elysia asked stealthily.
“……Grand Duke Yulias, wouldn’t what you just wrote be enough?”
Yulias stared at the sentence he had just jotted down.
[If there is a menu you want, I will have it prepared, so let’s eat together.]
It was a short and concise sentence.
However, he crumpled the Parchment as if he didn’t like it.
Elysia was starting to feel a bit aggrieved.
No, what on earth was the problem.
Wasn’t the sentence from a moment ago perfectly clean and decent enough?
She eventually touched her face and let out a groaning sound.
“Your Grace…….”
-Knock, knock.
Along with the sound of knocking, Hilmaiten’s voice was heard.
“Grand Duke Yulias, the lesson for the Lady and Joshua has ended. The Tower Master is still staying. And…….”
Yulias snapped his head up.
“Weren’t there five minutes left until the lesson ended.”
Hilmaiten opened the door and entered, speaking in a calm voice.
“Since it was the first lesson, it seems he finished five minutes early…….”
Hilmaiten paused upon seeing the paper piled high on his desk.
Hilmaiten’s gaze directed toward Elysia.
It was a look that asked what on earth that snowball-like pile of paper was.
Elysia slightly shook her head without saying anything.
It was a sign asking him not to ask.
Hilmaiten deliberately averted his gaze, pretending not to notice, and continued speaking with a composed face.
“……It appears the Tower Master has suggested a meal to the Lady and Joshua. He asked me to convey whether they could receive permission to go out.”
In an instant, the pen held in Yulias’s hand almost broke.
No, the faint sound of the pen nib snapping with a ‘click’ could already be heard.
“……Say that again. What?”
Hilmaiten had the illusion that a fierce flame was blazing fiercely behind the man’s back.
Who dares to eat a meal with whom?
Yulias’s eyes were saying exactly that.
Hilmaiten swallowed his dry saliva, and eventually, he even cleared his throat.
Though he had experienced numerous things while working in the Demint Family for a long time, it had been a truly long time since he felt such blatant murderous intent.
“……Edward, the Tower Master, stated that he would like to treat the Lady and Joshua to a delicious meal.”
Yulias tossed his pen down onto the desk completely.
“And so.”
“……He said he would like to have a meal outside rather than a meal at the Residence, and asked to convey the message to permit the Lady and Joshua to go out.”
Elysia scrutinized Yulias’s reaction.
He already had the atmosphere of a warrior defeated on the battlefield.
No, he looked like a man seeking revenge because he couldn’t accept defeat.
Yulias abruptly rose from his seat.
Screeech.
The sound of the chair being pushed back harshly echoed inside the Office.
“……Where are the three of them right now?”
He looked ready to go find Edward and grab him by the collar this very instant.
It was the moment Hilmaiten was about to open his mouth.
-Knock, knock!
A cheerful knocking sound followed.
“Grand Duke Yulias!”
It was Joshua’s voice, sounding excited to anyone who heard it.
