[A/N: I added Milestones chapter. There you can see the milestones for bonus chapters!]
At the entrance the Duke, the Duchess, and I stood side by side to see Lady Scarlett off. We had already explained to the Duke that Elle was resting because she felt unwell.
"Lady Mariska, it was truly meaningful. Please call for me again. Your Grace, thank you for having me. I will continue to get along well with Lady Mariska, so please do not consider me a nuisance. I look forward to working with you."
Lady Scarlett bowed as she spoke. The Duke answered cheerfully:
"Not at all, Lady Scarlett! If it's my wife, you may call for her as often as you like. You are welcome to visit our residence whenever you wish. Even if I am often away, please do not hesitate to come!"
Behind him the Duchess wore an expression that clearly said This man is all talk. Was I reading too much into it?
