《TML? IDWH》chapter 58

But Rosemary knew the situation. Only after that, she clearly saw that Carlton had deceived Luna.
- Not! I am not lying! I did this because I felt that the hostess was really uncomfortable in the new house! She said she didn't like things she didn't know! Please help me!"
Carlton pleaded with her, but Rosemary's gaze was still cold.
"In the first place, you didn't ask her if she liked everything or not, you just decided it for her, and who is to blame?"
The harsh words of Rosemary he hoped for knocked the ground out from under Carlton's feet. Her words were more convincing than his pleas for help.
- What did you do, since she decided to fire you? She told me that she didn't know much about big mansions when she signed the contract, and even asked me to renew contracts with all the mansion's servants."
This was also done for the convenience of the servants and Luna herself, so she couldn't just fire everyone all of a sudden.
Therefore, Rosemary was agitated by this situation, realizing that it was not her fault.
The Marquis, who was observing the situation, hurried to intervene. It looks like he was in shock.
"I can't judge by listening to just one side, so I think it would be nice to meet Lady Pales as well."
Of course, this was not supposed to solve Carlton's situation. Be that as it may, his work was not particularly important.
Rather, the marquis and his wife were interested in what kind of person their son was dating, whom they had abandoned many years ago. The marquise agreed with her husband.
- I think so too. Antares is involved in this case, so I think it would be good to meet and hear their version."
After all, they said they wanted to see Antares and Luna. However, there was no way for them to contact both of them, so the Marquis stared at Rosemary. It was like he was trying to ask her to set up a meeting.
But Rosemary, who was still offended, only pouted her lips.
"You forbade me to go out, did you?"
- I apologize. You're an adult now, so I shouldn't have interfered too much in your life."

Be that as it may, the ban on leaving the Marquise's house was going to be lifted immediately. However, she was their heir to learn. They also didn't want to fight with their only daughter.
When the marquis, who had a rather domineering nature, even apologized, Rosemary's mood instantly improved.
- I'll think about it."
However, she didn't want to say yes, so Rosemary said goodbye and left the living room.
The Marquises, who agreed to meet Luna, calmed Carlton a little. He was sure that he could still click on the nose of a stupid girl.

Due to the lack of a butler and servants, it was very inconvenient. It wasn't just that such a huge house wasn't properly cleaned.
In addition, the bandages wrapped around her arm interfered with Luna. Although they were only on one hand, they brought a lot of inconvenience, because it was the right hand.
"Should I put it in your mouth?"
Asked Antares, who was sitting in front of the moon, holding a cookie in his hand.
"Why did I hit him on the cheeks so much. I only made it worse for myself..."
Luna thought as she looked at her hands.
The only thing she understood was that violence was not the answer. Luna, pouting her lips, categorically rejected the help of Antares.
"Speaking of which, did you say that the imperial family is interested in gold?"
- Yes. They are crazy about gold. I already have all the documents, so I just have to go and show it to them."
Antares said as he found the documents and handed them over to Luna.
"By the way, although it's a little late, I have a present for you."
While Luna looked through the documents, he set the box down on the table.
- What? Gift?"
When Luna tried to open the gift, her hand hurt sharply, Antares himself opened the lid of the box and took out the contents. It was a yellow gold wine glass.
"Is this a bowl from my gold mine?"
- Don't worry, it's not stolen gold. I have a check for it."
The moon hesitated for a second, but Antares immediately cut off this misunderstanding.

Luna, slightly embarrassed, coughed and changed the subject.
- Hmm, hmm. Thank you. Let's have some wine later. I'm sorry I'm the only one who would drink from such a beautiful cup."
- Do not worry about it. I have one too."
Having said this, Antares took out exactly the same bowl that he presented to the moon.
"What? Are these paired cups?!"
- You are crazy? What if someone sees this! »
- Well, let it be. There will be fewer people who don't know we're dating."
It was a bit reckless, but anyway, because of the last party, a lot of people already knew about it.
Yes, that day was good.
Antares said with a soft laugh, Luna did not understand what he was talking about and hurriedly asked him a question.
- What are you talking about now?! Hell!"
"I meant it was a really good party."
- ... "
Luna decided to avoid talking about it. She did not want to talk about relationships again, because it was useless to talk about it with Antares. Without answering, she decided to talk to him about business.
- Yes, good. By the way, everything seems to be in order with the documents, so I'm done. I have to go."
"Are you going to look for new servants?"
- Yeah. I want to go and see them. Now I understand how important they are."
As I gradually got used to the work, I decided to hire only people with a gentle character who would no longer harm me and my family.
- One?"
Antares asked as he completed the paperwork.
- Are you busy? Is the top okay?
For a moment, Luna was worried. Can she trust this man with her precious gold mine?
- It's okay, I worked like crazy for a whole month, I only have two or three days off. Besides, the lady doesn't have a coachman, does she?"
Luna remembered that she fired all the coachmen.
Henry, the baron's coachman, had long since left for the mine with him. So, as Antares said, she really didn't have a coachman to drive the carriage.
"If I refuse his services, I will have to ride or walk..."
Luna smiled softly, as if rejecting his offer.
- I was just asking if you're busy with work. But thank you for your concern."
Antares laughed at such a quick change of mood.
Luna remembered Antares talking about how he could drive a carriage. She sat down opposite him and asked.
"Didn't you say you could drive a carriage?"
- I? Do I really need to drive a carriage?"
Antares' coachman led the carriage. In that case, escorting Antares was pointless. It was enough just to ask him to borrow his coachman for a while.
"Oh, I believe you again and again..."
"I used to be deceived by Seira and Fersen, and now he is."
But at that time it was easier for Luna to understand all this, and now Antares stuck to her like a bath leaf.
Today he hinted at help with the trip, although in fact he knew that his personal coachman would drive the carriage.
- Do not be angry. It's the first time you're going to hire workers, so it's better for me to be around."
Apparently, he had no intention of denying the fact that he had deceived her, so Antares kindly offered to help her.
"Why the hell are you wasting your time and always following me?"
Luna asked angrily.
- It..."
Antares, who always could easily answer any of her questions, was silent, looking at the moon. He never thought about it, so he didn't know why he kept chasing Luna.
Like Luna said, it was really a waste of time. It would be much better for him to do other things at this time, whether it be sleep or work.
- Everything is fine. Just try not to help me."
When Antares did not answer her, Luna turned her head and looked out the window, as if trying to do what she wanted.
Antares, who was looking at the moon, followed her and looked at the landscape outside the window.
Suddenly, he was overcome with a feeling of unease, and a wrinkle appeared on his forehead.

There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
