Chapter 108 A secret meeting at night part 1

Knock knock . I opened the door .

Seemingly without reason, Dida was standing there .

“It’s quite late . What are you here for?”

“…Uh, sorry . Were you already sleeping?”

“Yes . Milady slept early today, so my work also ended earlier than usual . ”

“Ah, I see…really, though, don’t open the door with your guard down like that . As a woman, you should stay on alert . ”

“Well, we don’t really need to worry about that in this mansion…plus, I’m not completely without experience in these situations . If it comes to a desperate situation, I will use force . ”

I said this with a smile . An awkward, bitter smile flashed across Dida’s face .

But quickly enough, his expression became serious .

“…what about opponents that you can’t deal with? What will you do then? For example, I would be able to defeat you easily . ”

“True…out of everyone in this mansion, only you and Ryle are truly a challenge to confront . As for other enemies who might invade, if I do find any adversary truly challenging, they probably won’t have come for my looks, but for my life . Well…I still trust you two, for the time being . ”

Our eyes met . In a late night like this, when both of us were silent and there were no other noises to interrupt us, the silence between us made the atmosphere exceedingly heavy .

“…You win . Of course I can’t do anything if you say something like that . ”

Saying this with a smile, Dida shattered the serious atmosphere .

“So? What are you here for?”

“No, originally I was planning to have a drink or two with Ryle, but he’s already asleep . So I thought of you . ”

“I can’t believe you…you’d call me out for something like that? I’m still a woman . If strange rumors start spreading about us, I’m not responsible . ”

“That’s fine . ”

Saying this, he laughed . I couldn’t read the true intentions of this man before me .

“Well…it’s true that it’s late . You’re getting up early tomorrow, right? Sorry . ”

“Hold on a minute . ”

“I’ve already woken up anyways…it’s a rare opportunity . Let’s go have a drink . I’ll go in and change, wait a minute for me . ”

“All right . ”

After that, I changed and walked out of the room .

Going to a bar or somewhere like that…it was quite a strange time for that . In the end we started drinking in the servants’ chat room .

The chat room is a room that all the servants share . As per its namesake, it’s a place where servants can communicate and say whatever they want .

Duke Armenia’s family has a mansion corresponding to its social status . More than half of that space is specifically for servants .

To maintain such a huge mansion and allow the masters of the house to live comfortably, they ended up needing a huge group of servants; at the same time, this structure was very fitting for a family that treated its servants so kindly .

“What do you want to drink? I brought this . ”

“…Isn’t this a Makarama* specialty product? How did you get it?”

“I grabbed it from Master . ”

What a startling declaration, I couldn’t help but sigh .

“You…”
