[The Duchess Of Rosia -A Contract Marriage?] - Ch 50 Returning home
For the time being, I got into the duke's carriage prepared for the return trip. It was heavy and slow.
“Because it is your first visit after the marriage, take your time with your family.”
Lotus and Dahlia send me out with a smile, but I'm not laughing as I'm still depressed.
" Thank you for taking care of me all this time ..."
My words were a farewell for life,
“... Well, he’ll pick you up soon.”
Lotus coughs at the comment.
"... Let's hope he lets me return someday"
Oh, I see. My luggage will be sent later. I have almost no luggage. It will be about one box at most. Everything I use is what the Duke's prepared. I’m really poor thinking it out.
This is the first homecoming since the marriage to the Duke.
It feels so nostalgic… Visiting my home after a long time...
I look out the window while remembering the good times.
After a long time, the carriage stopped.
" Mistress? Are you not coming down?"
Mimosa asks.
"I wonder if I'm still sleeping? Is this my home?"
I rubbed my eyes at the scenery seen through the window of the carriage. The sight in front of me doesn't look like reality.
"That's right? Have you forgotten?"
Mimosa answers while laughing.
“No, well, it’s very different from what I remember.”
Even if I rub my eyes, the sight in front of me doesn’t change. Next, I tried pinching my cheek,
"Owww...!"
It’s painful. Apparently not a dream.
“Oh, Mistress! Your cheeks have turned red! What have you done?”
Mimosa rushed and grabbed my hand that is pulling my cheek.
“But my home is messy! It’s poor and dirty! Not this palace!”
I clasped my fists and spoke loudly.
The last home I saw it, everywhere it was dirty or broken. It had been poorly maintained for years, so there was no helping it. The stone wall was green and black from moss and humidity. The bricks were broken and many missing. In the garden, weeds were everywhere and now it’s an unnamed flower paradise.
The stone walls have been cleaned of moss and mushrooms. The ceilings have been repaired with the same fine stone and the collapsed parts replaced.
The garden is neatly and beautifully maintained, and luxuriously full of flowers arranged in sculptures. The window frames had been repainted neatly.
"How did my family managed to afford such a thing??!!”
Those words were the first thing that came out of my mouth. I am surprised at how much it has changed.
“Well, why don't you ask your family? You see, everyone is here to greet you!”
Mimosa said to me.
My mother, brother and sister were out at the entrance.
"Yes"
I got ready to get off.
*******************************************************************************
"Viola, welcome home. I was surprised because they suddenly said you were coming.”
It’s hard to tell what happened. However, my mother's sharp senses noticed it. This is what made me feel that I was back home.
"So that happened... Sigh… The first time my daughter visited after such long time was because of clumsiness..."
She’s sharp and protests,
"But that only shows that it’s the legitimate you that has come"
I can't refute, she’s a sharp mother.
"So what did you do this time?"
"... I have broken a vase that seems to be expensive."
“Well!”
My mother covers my cheeks with both hands.
"Uh, I'm sorry ~~~ !!"
“Vee…”
She sighed.
“The vase is very expensive and important. Do we have enough money to compensate it?”
“What are you talking about? We can't afford it! Work the solution on your own.”
Mother and daughter, both went off talking about compensation and labor,
"Please wait, both of you! Don't worry because there is no compensation needed! We sent the mistress home because she was very depressed."
In a hurry, Mimosa blocked our thoughts.
“Well, is that true?”
Mother was the first to respond to Mimosa’s word.
“Of course!” Mimosa said.
I looked at mimosa as if asking what did she mean,
"That's right, Vee?"
“I was told that I had been sent home...”
"So you don't have to worry?"
Mother asked seriously, but I don’t understand.
"... I don't feel relaxed about what happened"
“Mistress, you only came back to rest and recover your spirit.”
Mimosa told us.
I felt refreshed and pampered at their words.
Playing with my younger brother and sister who I met after a long time, reading a book and taking a nap. All the sleepiness came to me after feeling the comfort of being at my parents' home. It's been a long time since my sister and brother were with me.
It seems that my room was turned into a guest room. However, I fell asleep in it immediately. It was already evening when I woke up.
When I went to the living room, there was mother carrying the vegetables for dinner.
“I’ll be preparing dinner soon, can you help me?”
She invited me. I'm happy when I think about making dinner with my mother as before.
"Let’s make it together!"
I answered fast and went to the kitchen together with her.
The taste of my mother’s cuisine after a long time is true happiness. Today, the main dish is homemade bread and vegetable soup. Humble and nutritious food!
"By the way, how is our house so beautiful now?
While eating, I remembered the sight at the entrance and asked mother.
“Hey, Viola. A while after you got married, help came from the Duke.”
"Help?"
"He sent people and materials to repair the house and personnel to take care of the garden."
"I see"
"Everything was done by the Duke. Everything seems to be the Duke's will."
As expected, I should thank my husband!
“That's right. I have to thank my husband.”
"Please do so!"
Mom was winking.
“Sister, you’re more beautiful than before.”
Suddenly my brother said while smiling. What does this child say so suddenly?
“Isn't it because Mimosa is doing her best for my beauty treatment every day??”
“Eh? Is that it?”
However, mother still does not feel satisfied at the answer.
“Uh, how did you get a good posture then?”
“with a tough teacher for dance lessons?”
“ And how did you become so delicate when smiling?”
"I did not?"
Mother is still dissatisfied at the answer.
“Maybe, thanks to Dahlia's manners lesson…”
"Ufufufufu ~"
Mother laughs meaningfully. What does she want to say? I’m becoming impatient.
I can't come up with any other cause than what I said.
“Wow, Viola, you’re so delicate at the meals now. I see the love of Duke Fissaris in your transformation.”
"What does it have to do with my husband?"
"Viola! I was surprised to hear that you went home so suddenly!"
My husband voice sounded in the room freezing me out.
I was surprised and stood up, as my husband appeared at the door.
My husband has been sent from the Duke's House instead of my luggage.
That's surprising.
