Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami - Ch 179

Tanya's Adventure II 

...... Before that, there is one errand I have to finish.

Originally, my lady's instructions are top priority for me.

But for this errand, I do not know the person.

No doubt, I will not even imagine.

Now I am heading to the mansion of Ms. Mimosa who is the best friend of the lady.

A little early I think.

I went out pretty early as I had that encounter with Mairo.

The mansion of Ms. Mimosa is of a different taste from that of the Duke of Almeria.

I proceeded as I was guided and arrived at the reception room of Ms. Mimosa.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"No, I am sorry I suddenly called you here"

"No, it's me ..."

"Well.. please do sit down there."

Although I refused once, I sat down in the chair because I would be rude if not.

"... Why did you call me?"

"Because you are the one Iris most trust"

I tilt my head to Mimosa's words.

"Even at the academy, I often heard a story, you, Dida, Lyle, and her were always together ... I know that you grew up with her and I know how much she trusts you.. I talked directly to you because you are the only woman near her that I know ... Although I am at present not married, but I'm engaged, so meeting a man would be... well.. you know.. So, I called you. "

Mimosa was trying to choose carefully her words.

"I have a request for you"

She looked seriously at me.

"If she tries to do something to help me ... I want you to stop her."

"Why, is it? She is very frightened of what could happen to you and frankly saying ...Don't you need the power of the Duke of Almeria?"

I ask her directly, not with round away words.

It is because I wanted to know the true intention behind her petition.

There is already an investigation about Mimosa's engagement ordered by the lady.

And this engagement is not something Mimosa decided herself.

Mimosa told the lady before in a letter, that there was another person who she wished to marry.

But then this engagement was set upon her by Princess Elle.

If you were engaged to someone already, they wouldn't have been able to force you with this edict, but it is difficult to refuse a royal edict when there is no certain reason, as this case.

Besides, Mimosa's engagement partner is someone with the reputation of a knight.

Crying, Mimosa entered into an engagement with the man decided by Princess Elle.

If the lady knows this fact, it's imaginable that she will start moving urgently and would create a storm.

That is why I want to know her thoughts.

"... Yes, after all, the Duke of Almeria had already been informed of everything"

Mimosa laughed sadly.

"Well then, I will insist you, because that gentle and responsible feeling is so strong in her... ... Maybe she is about to do something that would put her in a difficult position, I want you to keep an eye out for it, that is why please don't let her get involved absolutely. "

"You know my lady well.. do not you think?"

"Because I am her best friend, even if... I told her terrible things, but she is really important to me, so that's why I do not want her to be a in a difficult position because of me"

Mimosa's words have come with eyes of determination.

Mimosa, who had shining eyes for a candy at the cafe of Azuta Corporation, is unlikely to be the same person that is talking to me now.

"Originally I was ready, since being a nobleman means getting a political marriage sooner or later... but now it has become a reality. So, Tanya, I want you to stop it if that child is going to make a move that would put her at risk"

"...... I am an employee, are you sure that I can stop her?"

"Because she trusts you, I thought you could do it."

There is no precedence of an employee prying on his master affairs.

However, Mimosa is still be convinced that I can stop her.

If I think about how is her, it would not be easy to change her decision.

"Besides ... If you knew what is beneficial for that child, you would not move, so if you care about that child, please stop it"

If it is for the lady I will do any difficult things, and conversely if it is not for the lady, I will not do anything.

As for Mimosa's case, my opinion does not matter. If not for the request of my lady, I do not even want to be involved, as Mimosa says. But she ordered it.

.... However.

"... Though what I'm about to say are words, Mimosa, you are not alone. You have important friends. My lady was urging people to know the facts of your engagement, She would like to do something to help you, we definitely will not stop doing anything the lady asks for, I'll try to convince her, but who will decide is milady. We respond with full power to what my lady requests. So, I cannot promise you. "

"Yeah ... That was more than enough.. Thanks you"

At my words, Mimosa has a complex expression.
