Impractical Magic

I M Chapter 110

Author's Note: Hi guys/gals! Sorry, this update took some time to post. I never imagined that this chapter would be this long (like two crammed into one) so the editing/rewording gave me quite a headache D:

Seems like I got four to three hours of sleep left before my duty starts...

Ahh... my head... goodnight everyone and have a good read. For now, I will hit the sack...

________________________________________________________________________________

As we were guided into the living room, Henry and Stella had gone upstairs.

While they took their time, Matthew and I examined the living room and found that most of the stuff here is what you would normally find in a non-noble household. Soon, Henry enters the room who was later followed by Stella, they wore the same clothes as the everyday person you would see on the street.

"Why are you-" [Matthew]

"Wearing those clothes? Fufu~" [Stella]

Stella giggled when she saw Matthew's reaction, she really liked teasing him is she perhaps a closet shota?

(Knock-knock...)

"Seems like our tea is here. Please come in." [Stella]

A maid entered the room pushing a tea trolley, even the trolley and also the teacups are plain and simple.

"Madam..."

After greeting Stella the maid began to serve us one by one, skillfully and gracefully placing the cup down on the table. When it was the time she came to serve mine, the maid looked at me weirdly, so I checked myself out and forgot that I had also worn a maid uniform. She might have thought that it was weird for me to be sitting close to Matthew instead of standing behind him as a normal servant would. I can't blame her because I wasn't even a real maid, to begin with.

When she finished serving everyone the maid presented a bow before silently exiting the room.

"Believe it or not we are once scolded by our people because despite being the ones governing them we always wore the same clothes as they did." [Henry]

Henry started talking as soon the maid leaves, is it considered bad manners to talk while being served? Or they decided not to talk so that the servants won't hear any irrelevant information?

"They said that it wasn't good for our image so in order to satisfy them we had to dress up like the nobles." [Stella]

As they said... when in rome, do what the romans do.

"I can somehow feel your pain..." [Angelica]

When I was managing Dalio the people there also said that I should dress up exquisitely to look the part... they probably just wanted to see me in a dress...

"Hahh... talking about this makes me remember all the troubles we've had before." [Henry]

"Yes, the amount of reforms and the red tapes we had to go through is very frustrating, but all in all it was worth it." [Stella]

Both of them let out a deep sigh. Henry is crying a waterfall despite him not having eyes... creepy... both of them looked so gloomy and the way they're acting right now is like they weren't even nobles lol...

"Now, Angelica." [Stella]

"Um... yes?" [Angelica]

I was caught off guard when Stella switched to a serious tone.

"Angelica... can I... ... ... No..." [Stella]

She paused to collect her thoughts, what's will all this seriousness? It's making me nervous...
