Formerly, The Fallen Daughter of the Duke

14. House of Lehne

The Lehne family mansion stood east of the city’s main street in Ultz, in an area of beautiful nature.

A garden with white brick walls and colorful roses makes the landlord feel good about his hobby.

I had heard of Sun as an emerging baroness, but Claire was fond of the mansion’s setting incorporating the culture of a good old Pfeite nation while incorporating the essence of fashion.

Claire, who came to the Lene family with Sun, had been guided to the reception room.

Sitting shallow on a soft couch, Claire thinks.

(I hope you’re okay…… sorry to Sun if you come here and it still means no)

The fingertips were cold and the sense of inferiority at the time of being treated like a fall peeked into my face.

“It’s okay, Claire. It would be easy for you to win. I’ve brokered a number of tutors, and I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m saying.”

Sun, who noticed how Claire was doing, laughs nicely and says:

“Thank you, Sun…”

Claire fixed her smile.

Gacha.

There, the door opened and the couple with a soft smile came in.

(There you are…!

“Hey, Sun. I’m listening. Is this Miss Claire?

“Well, what a pretty little lady.”

Greetings were there too, and the Lehnes’ masters began to talk about the matter quickly.

Two loud, pleasant images.

“Yeah. That’s right. We met earlier at the referral office and took them right before they were taken by other aristocratic tutors”

Sun answers with a lot of tea.

“I’ll see you first. My name is Claire Marx.”

Claire gave a polite greeting to the couple in turn, taking great care not to be enlightened by the tension.

Says the head of the Lehne family, who watched Claire’s tricks with a narrow eye.

“Yeah, nice. My name is John Lehne. This is my wife Marie.”

“Nice to meet you, Claire. I’m glad my daughter’s tutor is so nice.”

Mrs. Marie also sees Claire as Nico.

(This is…)

Sun glances at Claire in the wind, you see.

Apparently, you passed the couple’s interview.

“We are, as you can see, a gold maker. Ha ha. My father was a generation nobleman, but he built too many mountains in business about 15 years ago. Even with the money, I don’t know how to use it, so I donated it to a dependent country or church for now. Then I got the title. Ha-ha-ha.”

“That’s right. My God, I was originally a town girl. Suddenly they said something about the social world, but I don’t know why.”

The two of them talk amusedly and thoroughly.

Now, what the two of them have taught Claire would be the reputation of this Lehne family in the social world.

Hating emerging aristocrats seems the same in every country.

(I’m sure you’re so favorable because of that that tutors don’t settle in)

Claire became more and more fond of the gentlemen who taught us ahead of time that it would be a negative aspect of employment and the couple who also tried to laugh brightly off dark topics.

“My daughter Isabella is 13 years old, but the tutor has been absent for a while. I’d really appreciate it if a lady like you could come.”

After completing the whole welcome, Claire is told by our Lord, who suddenly gave her a pulled look.

Claire replied with a full smile.

“If I can help you, I’d love to”

―――――

Claire, who was recently hired as a tutor, was soon to be allowed to borrow from the Lehne family from that day on.

Claire, who opened the door to the room that was guided by the Lady, was surprised.

(Is this the servant’s room?!?

It’s a studio type build, but it’s huge anyway. The large room is equipped with a fukafuka sofa reception set, a bed with a canopy and a simple shower room.

Besides, the sun is very good even though it’s on the ground floor. When I went to the window, it was built so that I could go straight out of the terrace into a garden with roses blooming.

The terrace is equipped with a table set so that you can enjoy tee time while enjoying the view of the garden.

“Ma’am, it’s a very nice room… you know… this room…?

Mrs. Marie replies happily when Claire is confused about the size and interior that she finds to be obviously a room for guests, not a room for servants.

“Would you have liked it? It’s actually a guest room, though. If you’re from a house like the Royal College of Aristocracy in Noston, I can’t show you much simplicity. The truth is, you’re much more noble than us.”

“No, no… Will you be in the same room as the others?”

“Oh, my God, even a servant would give you about half the size.”

The lady winks at the charming and continues.

“I want Dr. Claire to teach Isabella how to stand and think as a lady. I was wondering if you could use this room just to make sure you remember what it’s like to be a nobleman.”

Claire just had to accept when she was even mentioned about her duties as a tutor.

“I understand. We will do everything we can to meet your expectations.”

(Instead of fattening your personal belly, it’s the Lehne family creed that restores it to servants and those around you. How rich! It must be too dazzling from a social circle of looks and pride)

Claire gave the biggest compliment in her heart as she bowed.

Isabella, Claire’s godson, apparently is currently out to rest in the villa.

It meant that she would be home in a week, so Claire was to be allowed to stay free until then.

(Thought I’d let you do some other mansion work, but Mr. and Mrs. Lehne totally turned me down…)

“In the meantime, I think I’ll write to Vik and the others to let them know that I’ve got a place to stay. It was decided in such a short period of time!… I’m sure everyone will be surprised.”

Claire thus wrote to Vik of the Royal Palace.
