「Milan, here it is. Have the Wallace Company commercialize it. If there is something unclear, just ask me.」
「Let me check.」
Nearly a year after Eseria’s partnership with Wallace started, Milan continued to visit Duke Sjogren’s residence. He is already known by the servants of the duke and even occasionally got orders or consulted by them.
Furthermore, his admiration for Eseria is constantly growing.
「Eseria-sama is truly versatile. You started with toys and books but now, you have recently introduced some groundbreaking ideas for household goods.」
While receiving detailed explanation, Milan checks out the plan she just gave him. Hearing his compliment, Eseria responds with a slightly shy and puzzled expression.
「Well, it’s not like I thought of them from scratch. There’s no patent here which makes everything easier for me.」
「What? Patent?」
「It’s nothing. By the way, how’s the company?」
As Milan reacted to her accidental mutter, Eseria casually asked a question to change the topic. Milan then responded with a slightly tired expression.
「Of course, it’s thriving. In particular, my mother is enthusiastically managing the new store that puts pressure on our whole family. Even at dinner, she’s reading manuscripts non-stop. My father and elder brothers were drawn this morning.」
When she heard that, she smiled and presented a big envelope to Milan.
「That’s exactly what I wanted to see. So, this is the new manuscript.」
「….now I think it is impossible for us to eat dinner.」
When she saw how Milan received the envelope, her smile deepened. Suddenly, Cartas, the chief butler, knocks on the door.
「Eseria-sama, Milan-dono, please excuse me for bothering your talk.」
「What is it, Cartas?」
「Ojou-sama, a guest has come desu. What should we do?」
「Eh? Who is it?」
「She’s Sabine-sama who claimed to be Count Rear’s daughter. Now that the duke and madam and even Cornelia-sama’s not here, we can only leave the judgment to Eseria-sama.」
When she heard it, she became more and more confused.
「…….you don’t know her?」
「Yes. The person herself said that she’s not acquainted with anyone from the household including Eseria-sama.」
「Huh?」
When Eseria heard Cartas, she was dumbfounded and fell silent. Even Milan, who has nothing to do with it, became dubious.
「Ano……..Eseria-sama, my apologies but I want to ask this one question. I don’t know much about noble etiquette but, isn’t it a violation of etiquette to just rush into a house where you don’t know anyone without informing that you’ll be coming?」
