Every day, the store of the Wallace Company, which’s along the main street of the royal capital, has customers coming until dusk. For some reason, Wallace’s wife came to the store running from the back of the store. She whispered something to Wallace, who’s tending the store, that made him shiver.
「Eseria-ojousama is here!?」
「Cornelia-sama came with her too. Hurry back to the reception room!」
「Okay! I’ll be there in a moment so call me immediately if something happened!」
「Got it.」
Even their father, the duke, has never visited his store nor his house. While thinking of what to do, Wallace, left the store to his close aid and headed to the back of their store where his house and wife are.
「To come here without notice, do they want something urgent? Do they want to ask me anything?」
「We don’t have time to talk about that! We can’t be rude so let’s prepare the room and tea for them! 」
「…..Ah, right. My apologies, Lamia. 」
Because of two high-ranking noble’s sudden visit, the teary-eyed wife of Wallace became more upset with Wallace’s questions. Wallace hurriedly headed to the reception room where the two were waiting.
「Cornelia-sama, Eseria-sama, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. 」
However, Cornelia apologized to Wallace who bowed deeply to them.
「No, we were the ones who acted disrespectfully by suddenly barging in without sending a notice so you don’t need to do that. We are also very sorry for causing inconvenience to you and your wife. 」
Cornelia bowed her head while sitting down and Eseria followed her silently. Lamia responded by waving her hand.
「no no no, you’re not disrespectful in any way! To be visited by the two ojousama is an undeserved honor of our dilapidated house! 」
「Maa, dilapidated house….Certainly, it is smaller than our house but compared to the surrounding houses, it is clearly bigger. The interior and decorations can only be called fine and elegant. Though it is already expected, I’m deeply impressed with the residence of the representative of the Wallace Company. Eseria, what do you think? 」
「Ye-yes! I think it is an excellent house to live in! 」
「Maa….to think that ojousama feels that way…. 」
When she was suddenly called, Eseria hurriedly agreed to her sister. Hearing their comments, Lamia burst into tears as if she’d been deeply moved. Seeing what’s happening, Eseria can’t help but secretly look at her elder sister, who’s sitting beside her, with admiration.
(Wow, oneesama, are you sure you’re only 12 years old? You’re so good at influencing people’s hearts! Or is this the natural charisma of a noble daughter?)
While thinking about such a thing, as if it has been arranged beforehand, Eseria just kept silent while leaving the initial negotiation to her sister. Then, Cornelia slightly looked back and received a bundle of paper from Alana who was diagonally behind her. She handed it to Wallace.
