Chapter 250
Thanks Moko, calkch and Levena for your supoort.
“I’m sorry, truly sorry, Amelia!”
“…”
After that, Cyril followed Amelia walking down the hallway, apologizing profusely to his childhood friend who didn’t even look at him or talk to him during breakfast.
The other servants gazed with a warm smile at the young heir trying desperately to pacify the young maid.
The two have known each other since childhood, and Cyril had gained a reputation for being likened to the young duke in his younger days because of his nonchalant personality, but since childhood he had only been crazy about Amelia.
The young servant, who seemed to have been hired recently, would make a curious face at the sight of the two, but this had already become a tradition for the past few years, as the older servants would tell them.
“Hey Amelia!”
“…Cyril-sama, don’t bow so easily, Cyril-sama is the heir to the duke’s family, and I am just a maid in service.”
Amelia suddenly turned around and lectured Cyril with her hands on her hips, and although he was glad that she spoke to him, Cyril blurted out in a sultry tone.
“Isn’t Amelia a Baronet’s daughter, as well?”
Amelia’s grandfather and grandmother, both retired, were long-time chief stewards and chambermaids to the Duke of Versenia, who received their t.i.tles of Baronet from the Duke for their service, and her father was a Duke’s retainer and her mother a current chambermaid, a prominent n.o.ble family with close ties to the Duke’s family.
Moreover, Amelia’s grandfather was an uncle of the d.u.c.h.ess of Versenia, who was from a Viscount family, making Cyril and Amelia related to each other, though only slightly.
Because of their close age, Cyril and Amelia have grown up together as if they were siblings since they were babies, but Cyril was dissatisfied with the relationship between master and servant, even though Amelia became his maid and she was his closest friend.
Amelia became more beautiful as she grew up, and when she entered the academy, several children of aristocratic families took an interest in her, which made Cyril impatient.
“That’s…yes, but, umm…I understand. I’m not mad at you anymore.”
“Thanks, Amelia.”
Amelia forgave her, and Cyril smiled a big smile, which made Amelia’s ears turn a little red again.
“So what shall we do today then? Father says I can do whatever I want today and tomorrow, do you want to go somewhere to play?”
“It’s been a while, would you like to see the city of Toru territory?”
“That’s necessary, but the shopping isn’t much different from Capital’s. I’d like to see some of the attractions in Toru…”
“The attractions of Toru territory, huh?”
They both tilted our heads in the same way as they stood in the hallway.
As for Cyril, he wanted to walk alone with Amelia in a quiet place since they had just returned from the crowded Capital.
Either way, as the heir apparent of the Duke family, if he went out, he would have a knight to escort him, however, he was more concerned with the mood of the day.
Now, as he was searching his memory for a good place to go, suddenly he heard a voice.
“Oh, um…!”
“…Hmm?”
“Yes?”
They turned around to see a slightly older maid girl with red hair in a braid standing there with a nervous look on her face.
“Um…Eva-san?”
“Cyril-sama, how about my hometown or something! You can learn about the place where the incident took place. I’ll show you around.”
Eva spoke to Cyril, ignoring Amelia.
