After sending the guests off and handing me the newest reports, Carl and the subordinate that impersonated the boss, Ethan, kept staring at me with blank expressions.
"What?"
Carl scratched the back of his head and with the dumbest expression I have ever seen finally asked what was on their mind.
"Miss, are we going to clean a stain in the Duke's house instead of harming the Prince?"
Hearing the ridiculous statement made by Carl, I resisted the urge to laugh and decided to tease them a bit. It doesn't hurt to have a little bit of fun at your employees expense right?
Narrowing my eyes at them, I spoke with my voice filled with disappointment.
"What? You can't clean properly? Is the training to bland? Maybe I should be a bit more strict to you guys..."
"NO!"
Ethan quickly and strongly denied my statement. As if he realized his rudeness and eagerness, Ethan quickly tried to redeem himself.
"Miss what I mean is that you don't need to overexert yourself. W-we can clean a place spotless clean right Carl?"
Bobbing his head so quickly that I thought it might fall, Carl agreed with Ethan.
"Yes, yes. Miss need not to worry, we will make cleaner than ever before"
"Is that so? I don't mind teaching you personally though"
"No, no. Miss need not to worry about us AT ALL. You have so much to handle... the stain will be cleaned as per requested, worry not"
Seeing their flustered appearance I couldn't hold any longer.
"*pffft*"
Seeing my two lovely subordinates looking at me flabbergasted with the reaction they got, I started to explain the conversation with Duke Fournier.
"The plan with the Prince Albert is still up. The stain that the Duke Fournier refers to is Prince Albert and the squirrel is Julia, do you get it?"
"Sort of.... but why a squirrel?"
"I could say is because she looks like one, but this is only partially true. The truth is because she's cute but is still a 'rat', so the noble circle came up with the nickname... I heard that Miss Julia rather liked being compared with such adorable creatures, that's why Prince Albert still permits the nickname as long as he doesn't hear it. I wonder if we can make squirrel plush toys a thing. We can ask Julia to advertise..."
"As I thought, nobles are really different. Even the way of cussing is refined and could be mistaken as a compliment"
Ethan nodded to Carl's statement.
"Yes, they are scary. Miss and the Duke transformed an assassination and a crime against the Crown in a talk about pest extermination and cleaning. Miss is even more amazing since she will make the Lady in question sell a plush toy that it's an insult to her "
"You are right, no one knows how to take advantage of a situation as well as our Miss!"
"You do realize I'm still here right?"
Averting their eyes to the floor, both of them spoke in monotone."Miss is the Society Flower"
"Miss is unique"
' ' our Miss is the scariest of them all' '
Deciding to ignore the stupid duo, I started to think how should I disclose to Father today's meeting.
