The lunch went smoothly.

she didn't know whether the food she have prepared while she was plucking her hair a few days ago has entered her mouth or nose, but Elena was just happy in the end of the meal.

With the help of the nanny, children quietly brought out the dining room.

the duke and her father will enjoy coffee and cigar and talk about business seriously.

Meanwhile, Elena's mission was taking the children to the upper floor where the small living room was there and play with them .

The living room on the upper floor has been decorated comfortably for the children to play as well has been already checked.

Sweets such as cakes, chocolate, pancakes, desserts, fruits were placed on the table, the wood in the fireplace was burning, and games were put on one side.

When Elena entered the children's room, she talked to Betty who was setting quietly all the time.

"Your name .... is Betty , is that right? did food suit your taste ?"

" Yes, steamed fish and pheasant meat have been particularly good"

"How did you know it was fish "

"That was before I met Duke, I've done some work in the kitchen as a maid responsible for washing dishes."

After thinking about it, the hands of the child were harsh for her age.

Elena guessed the reason for the personality of stubborn and emotional child.

She felt badly thinking about her washing dishes from the morning until the sunset with hands like maple leaves and peeled meat .

She soon offered her the candies that was well setting on the tablecloth.

"I understand. Do you want some of these pies? It is made of pickled apple this fall."

"Thank you."

I kept looking for Betty so she doesn't feel excluded among my younger brothers, but the little girl Betty looked nice and more polite than I thought. It was quite different from when she opened her eyes wide on the duke and said,
'I don't want!'
