《TML? IDWH》chapter 60
Advertisement
[Carlton came to our mansion. He told us about your problem with him. Of course, I think that you must have had a reason for this, but my parents became interested, so they decided to ask me, after hearing my point of view, they wanted to meet with you in person and resolve this misunderstanding.
If you don't like this idea, then write to me. Please don't be shy.]
After reading the letter three times, Luna touched her forehead. Although Carlton's story was the main theme, her gut feeling told her that it was just an excuse to finally see what she looked like.
"It is very strange..."
However, they said they wanted to meet her in person. Luna believed that there was a difference between simply getting to know a person and wanting to meet in person.
"They must have found out that you met Mr. Antares at a party!"
Startled, Laura, she understood what Luna was thinking.
"Why don't you meet them and show them how good you are?"
"Do I need to do this?"
In response to Luna's sullen reaction, Laura responded with a stern expression.
- Of course! If you are thinking about marriage, you must leave a good impression! From now on, you will slowly be preparing for it. But don't worry, Antares' parents will immediately see how good you are."
"Marriage? With Antares?
Even if it wasn't Antares, Luna had no intention of getting married. Because she suffered so much with Fersen, she came to the conclusion that she would be better off just living alone without complicating her life with "all sorts of men".
"Of course, if I really live alone for the rest of my life, it might be a little hard, but now I have a lot of servants."
"Even if I didn't have them, different people often come to me, milk deliveries or postmen."
"Anyway, it doesn't matter now."
Carlton wasn't likely to come along with the Marquesses, so Luna started thinking about him.
"What the hell did he say? I asked Royer to send him paperwork demanding that the contract be terminated based on what happened."
The situation was ambiguous, but Luna wanted an explanation. If he talks too much again it can create a lot of problems.
"I would like to meet with them and clarify the situation. I've been silent until now, and all the rumors have come out. I need to write to Antares and ask him for a favor to make it easier for me to get in touch with his parents."

Having made up her mind, Luna called Laura.
- Laura, please bring a pen and paper.
- Oh, will you send them an answer? Will you meet?"
Laura asked, not knowing Luna's inner experiences. At this, Luna silently nodded her head.
- Yes. I'll take care of it right away."
Inspired, Laura quickly ran for office supplies.
- Give me some sheets. I'm going to send another letter to Antares."
"Alright Lady!"
Luna decided that she should ask Antares not to come for a while and not accidentally run into the marquises.
She didn't want to break the long "truce."
***
As the day of the meeting of the marquises approached, all the newly elected workers moved into the house, and the mansion gradually returned to its former appearance.
Of course, the servants who had not yet adapted to the mansion often made mistakes, but Luna gathered them all together and said that everything was fine, so everyone had a calm, peaceful life.
"Lady... I really can't."
Meanwhile, Laura was crying and complaining to the moon. The reason for this was the dismissal of Carlton, so she became a temporary replacement for the butler.
Laura was responsible only for practical tasks, such as receiving reports from servants and instructing on work, everything related to money was handled by Royer. But it seemed to her very burdensome, because for the first time in her life she did something like that.
"If you don't do it, then what should I do?"
When Luna answered by pointing to a stack of papers, Laura pouted her lips.
She hated it, but she didn't want to upset Luna, so she had nothing to say.
Emma is doing great too. Please wait a moment until I find a butler."
"Emma is always good."
"So are you, Laura."
Luna wanted to keep an eye on the new employees, and if there was a person among them who was suitable for the position of butler, she would immediately replace Laura.
Of course, she didn't tell her about it.
She hoped that in time she would get used to it, because it would be ideal.
Luckily, all the newly hired workers were great, so even if Laura was acting a bit erratic, she didn't care.
Anna, whom she chose as her new coachman, also learned how to drive a carriage from the coachman Antares. She was very happy that she could now pay for the medicine for her mother.
"Everything is going smoothly, so I can relax and be happy..."

The reason she couldn't do it was because of the people who were supposed to be arriving soon.
Luna stood in front of the mirror and looked to see if everything was in order with her appearance. The dress, neatly combed hair and accessories, everything was at a minimum to match the outfit.
- Lady! Looks like the guests have arrived! I hear the sound of a carriage!"
What had to happen happened. From the voice of Laura, announcing the arrival of the guests, the heart of the Moon began to beat faster.
- Mistress. The guests have arrived."
"You don't need to tell me twice."
The servant of the mansion once again informed Luna about the guests. Luna sighed and left the room.
When she went down to the front door on the first floor, three blond-haired people entered the mansion and caught her attention.
Now Luna understood who Antares and Rosemary went to.
The hallway seemed to glow from their shimmering blond hair. Luna, reflexively glancing at her black hair, raised her head when she heard Rosemary's voice calling her.
"Luna, I'm sorry we bothered you."
It's okay, I'm not busy. I have to thank you for taking the time."
Luna answered her and greeted the marquises kindly.
- Nice to meet you. My name is Luna Pales."
Luna was nervous, because she was the beloved of their "unloved" son, the marquises shocked with a completely different attitude.
Thank you for letting us visit you.
"I hope I don't waste your valuable time."
Luna was confused by the normal reaction of the marquises. She thought they would be more aggressive.
Seeing that Rosemary and the Marquises were good people, she wished that only Antares had such a reputation.
Having finished the formal greetings, the four of them went to the glass greenhouse.
Thanks to advance notice of the visit of the guests, as soon as the marquis family sat down at the table, appetizers were immediately served, and silence reigned for a while.
"How embarrassing, I think I'm going crazy."
Luna ordered snacks from the most famous bakery in the capital, but they were completely tasteless.
For some time they silently chewed a colorless, odorless and tasteless biscuit. And then the Marquise, who pretended not to watch the Moon, opened her mouth first.
"You... do you live here alone?"
She meant Antares, but Luna took her words differently and answered.
- What? Oh yeah. But my father will be here soon."
This was not what the marquise wanted to hear, but the answer was clear. Antares was not here.
Marquise decided that it would be strange to suddenly ask where Antares went, so she just continued to eat snacks. The Marquis, who hesitated for a moment, decided to bring up the main topic.
- Ah! Okay... The reason I came here was because Carlton was visiting our mansion. He asked us for help, saying that he was unfairly fired by a girl and attacked by Antares."
Then he placed a piece of paper on the table. This was the document that summarized Carleton's arguments.
Luna scanned him slowly. It took some time, but the Marquis and Marquis calmly waited for Luna's response.
"I'm sorry, but that's not true."
Luna replied with a cool expression.
"If it's not true, tell me how it really was."
"He persuaded the workers to treat me like the daughter of a poor baron, and secretly removed my chef from cooking."
Luna calmly explained the situation so as not to get angry again.
Luna's arguments matched Rosemary's. This was enough to get him fired.
- As for Antares, he is also not to blame for anything. Carlton tried to raise his hand to me. If Antares hadn't done it, I would have done it."
Finally, Luna finished telling the story of Antares.
The pair of marquises looked at each other for a while without speaking. They were stunned by her story.
Their son, who had left his parents, who even had a lawyer specializing in emergency situations, was now defending the girl?
They thought that Antares just couldn't contain his anger and beat up the butler. They were already about to fire Royer.
"...Thank you for saying that."
For this, the Marquis sincerely thanked Luna.
Suddenly the atmosphere changed to gratitude, Luna was puzzled and glanced at Rosemary. On the other hand, the quick-witted Rosemary thought seriously.
"I think I did it in vain. It would be better if they communicated through correspondence.
She was glad that her parents liked Luna and would care about her in the future. But suddenly she was seized with a feeling of anxiety. Rosemary was worried that her parents would be so protective of Luna that her brother might lose his girlfriend.
