NovelEnglishLyndon, who had been smiling all this while, began to make a serious face all of a sudden.
“…but do you truly have to keep this as a secret from the Lord? I’ve heard it already, so I can’t really keep up with that.”
“Hmm… Then, don’t tell him, Lord Lyndon.”
“What are you talking about?”
“About everything that had transpired just a little while ago.”
Lyndon, who had been responding rather quickly before, made a strange pause.
“I can’t answer that.”
“Because you’re still going to tell him?”
“……”
“It can’t be helped, then. So, let me tell you instead.”

“I just don’t want to bother him with this little thing, when he’s already that busy. If we don’t run into each other from now onwards, we’re just going to be ordinary citizens.”
“The Lord is truly a monster. So, he is good at anything he does—no matter what.”
Although he referred to his Lord as a monster without feeling to have wronged, his voice still carried a sense of respect.
Molitia just grinned at his outspoken manner.
“But you do understand my feelings when I wish that the Duke were to feel a little more comfortable, no?”
“That’s true, but…”
“So, please cooperate with me.”
Lyndon could only heave a deep sigh as he looked straight towards her.
“…okay.”
“Then, it has already become a mutual agreement. Neither myself nor Lyndon was aware of whatever that had happened before.”
Lyndon unknowingly took a step back at that smile of his Madame. She had spoken in an unfamiliar manner to Lyndon, who had found Ferdinand’s set of eyes to be ludicrous, which made her seem to be even more unnerving.
Lyndon quickly gave a nod while trying to grab hold of his still pounding heart.

She eventually bought a gift from another place before she was able to arrive safely at the Marquis. After having greeted Nibeia’s butler, who had welcomed her, she then entered Marchioness Nibeia’s bedroom.
Marchioness Nibeia already had a doctor next to her, perhaps it was just in time for her treatment. Molitia was waiting just a step behind.
Nevertheless, the more she looked at it, the more familiar the doctor’s back had become. Molitia immediately straightened her head. When she finally recognized that confirmed figure, she shouted without even realizing it.
“Mr. Arendt?”
The doctor looked back in surprise at Molitia’s voice, albeit only for a short while. The doctor returned to examine the Marchioness with his experienced hands once again, but he didn’t really say much to herself.
Did he not really recognize her? It seemed that Marchioness Nibeia’s illness was worse than what she had thought before. Marchioness Nibeia sighed while saying that she must have been infected by her younger son.
With her naturally fragile body, she couldn’t really remain standing by Marchioness Nibeia’s side for too long. It was all due to the main concern of her body that had just gotten better not too long ago, which could certainly catch a cold once more.
Molitia then left the bedroom alongside the doctor, who had already completed the examination before turning her head naturally to the side.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe recalled him to be a little bit more of a giant. Was it perhaps he couldn’t really pass the time well? The man whom she was facing right now appeared to dwarf a little.
“Mr. Arendt.”
Molitia called out his name once again.
“I haven’t really seen you in a long time. It’s me, Lady Clemence.”
Molitia’s voice had barely turned the doctor’s head. In fact, he was blinking his eyes a couple of times like he was trying to find something out before he finally bowed his head.
“Oh, ah. Long time no see, Young Lady. How have you been? How are you these days?”
“Still weak.”
A bitter smile was softly drawn. Since she was young, he had known her better than anyone else. Therefore, she didn’t have to hide anything at all. Then, Molitia raised the corners of her mouth with quite an effort before flashing a bright expression on her face.
“But I’m doing rather well these days.”
“Huh? Is that…?”
The doctor’s voice, which was surprisingly dragging out, ceased its sound all of a sudden. Ahem—he eventually parted his mouth once again after clearing his throat repeatedly.
“But still, you have to take good care of yourself. You should be careful during your outing since a cold has been going around these days. Plus, the Young Lady’s body is rather frail.”
