Chapter 62

"Shall I? I believe you know nothing about the Lindbergh family, so I will tell you all about it."

Do you think I would nod in agreement to your condescending words?

The basic rule is to be cautious of obvious invitations, right?

Or are you saying that I’m so stupid that I can’t even understand that?

Indeed, my reputation is quite poor.

"I have been abroad until recently, but I have returned after graduating with excellent grades. I would like to discuss the future development of the Lindbergh family, taking into account my experience."

Oh!

The part about being 'excellent' was emphasized quite a bit. I can clearly see that I was being mocked!

Moreover, talking about the future development of the Lindbergh family.

Not many people can say that.

I’m starting to get curious.

To begin with, I felt that it would be beneficial to hear from a woman who has graduated with excellent grades and has seen other countries.

Well, it’s fine to listen to a little bit.

"By the way, Hermine. I have said many times that it is a problem to continue with outdated management. Understand? In the future, there will be more and more exchanges with other countries. We must adapt to this."

Hermine’s temple twitched.

I see, so she’s a troublesome guest.

My husband said that Hermine is in charge of the household.

Hermine’s attitude is clearly telling me to leave, but that’s impressive.

This is what they call a woman who doesn’t read the room... or rather, a woman who can’t read the room, I guess!

Moreover, if she really thought that the place next to my husband was hers, she would have taken care of the Elise issue and settled in... Oh, right, she was abroad?

But even if she knew before that...

"I heard that the two of them are gone, which is good. My mother told me not to interfere, so I couldn’t punish them myself. But I did help when it was necessary."

She was abroad when it was necessary.

"Was it the lady who drove them out? Well, it would be a problem if you couldn’t do that."

"Rosamunde, stop it. It’s unpleasant."

The one who finds it unpleasant is my husband, isn’t it?

After all, he is the one who involved me in the Elise issue, even though there was a reason.

I gripped my husband’s arm tightly and interrupted the conversation.

Feeling his gaze on me, I smiled at Rosamunde.

"That’s impressive. I have never been abroad, so I would like to hear more... Hermine, I would like to welcome this person as a conversation partner."

When I said that, the people behind us made faces as if they were grinding their teeth.

However, surprisingly, Rosamunde only narrowed her eyes at me and did not distort her face in anger.

"Madam—however..."

"Is it alright with you, my lord? I believe you won’t object."

My husband seems to be thinking about my true intentions and remains silent.

"Me, as a conversation partner—?"

"Yes, I would like to learn from your extensive knowledge. I still have many areas where I am lacking."

While admitting that my knowledge is inferior, I tried to get her to take on the role of an advisor—essentially a servant.

Her face doesn’t look very interested.

It’s not that she’s unpleasant, but rather a kind of frustration or distrust... it’s hard to describe.

"My lord, is it alright?"

"If you say it’s fine, I will allow it."

Somehow, I felt the blood of the Lindbergh family. Not as malicious as my husband, but still.

"Then, Madam, I will visit your room later."

"I share a room with my husband, but is it alright to invite someone?"

I saw the people who were probably burning with jealousy.

At that moment, my husband put his arm around my shoulder, pulled me towards him, and kissed the top of my head.

"It’s out of the question. I can’t allow anyone to enter the marital bedroom. Use the parlor instead."

With a sweet, melting tone, I gave him a look of protest, and he had an air of someone who would go all the way if he started.

Hey!

I’m the one who’s going to deal with it!

"Arrange it that way... but not until tomorrow."

That’s right.

After this, I have a lot of meetings with the household staff to look forward to.

"Miss Rosamunde, let’s meet during tea time tomorrow. Of course, the others as well."

"I would be delighted. However, I will also attend the dinner party, so I think we will meet then."

With a soft laugh, Rosamunde turned and left.

Hmm, should I point this out?

Turning your back on the head of the household is extremely impolite...

But since no one is pointing it out, I’ll just observe for now.

My husband seemed to be somewhat bitter as he watched Rosamunde leave.

By the way, my lord, there are a lot of people who seem to be eyeing my position.

Could you at least try to look a bit better?
