Certainly, the hands of another person were better than massaging oneself.
The recovery seemed to be much faster as well.
Kesha asked.
“Do you feel better?”
“Yes, very much.”
The skillful massage by Kesha was incredibly soothing.
Even if she overworked during the day, she thought that she could use her body longer if she had such physical recovery at night.
Atia, lying down, closed her eyes and received Kesha’s massage.
Another night at the Duke’s residence was passing like this.
[This is the time separator]The next day.
Heidegger sought his son Casus.
“The movements of the Royal Family are not ordinary.”
Recently, the royal family had been pushing to offer a princess to the Kerashian Empire.
Of course, Casus opposed, but word had reached him through Jen that they had sent a large envoy to the Kerashian Empire.
The details were unknown, but there must have been a secret plan.
“I felt the same.”
“You did well to postpone the departure.”
Heidegger said, stroking his chin.
The royal family, which didn’t get along with the Wellington family, came up with policies advantageous to them whenever they had the chance.
Because of the various systems that didn’t consider the people, the Wellington family was in trouble.
The only ones who could stop the reckless acts of the royal family were the Wellington Duke family.
“This time, I’ll try to handle it as best as possible without shedding blood.”
Heidegger looked at the face of Casus who said so.
There was a shadow under his son’s eyes, he looked unusually tired.
Heidegger, worried, opened his mouth.
“But did you not sleep well?”
“Eh?”
“You look like a person who hasn’t slept.”
Casus coughed lightly for no reason.
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
“Do you have any other concerns?”
At Heidegger’s words, Casus turned his gaze with a stiff face.
Last night, Casus could not easily fall asleep.
‘Men are lower body creatures. But it seems the Duke… is not a man?’
The words Atia uttered casually floated in Casus’s mind, preventing him from sleeping all night.
Casus gave a faint smile to Heidegger, who was looking at him worriedly.
“No, really. Nothing at all.”
“You look very tired. It might be good to rest.”
“I’m fine.”
“Okay, and about that girl.”
“Eh?”
At the words ‘that girl’, Casus raised his eyebrows.
He knew without needing the name to be said that it was about Atia.
“I’ve received a massage from that girl, my daughterinlaw.”
Heidegger spoke as if immersed in memories.
“I thought she could tame even Cerberus with such skills. I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep.”
“…….”
“How can such power come from that small body.”
“Is that so.”
“She seems to know a lot about human anatomy.”
‘I learned the skill before coming here.’
Suddenly, the words Atia said brushed past Casus’s mind. The face of her, who smiled brightly saying that she had learned a lot before coming here, also went by.
“It doesn’t seem to be all good.”
“We’ve received her from the Harad family, but we need to watch her a bit more to understand what kind of girl she is.”
“…….”
“How about you go see the child, if you don’t mind?”
“What?”
Casus opened his mouth in surprise.
Heidegger stroked his chin with his large hand.
“Even if he is a child of the Harad family, he is ultimately a person like us. It would be good not to be too cold to him.”
Heidegger knew that Atia and Casus didn’t get along well.
Casus clenched his fists slightly.
“I won’t let my suspicions go to the end.”
Heidegger gave a bitter laugh.
A blizzard was raging outside the window.
Heidegger sipped his tea while subtly watching the snowstorm.
[This is the time separator]“Kesha, from today your room is here.”
Following Atia’s order, Kesha, who had been living in the maid’s quarters, was moving to a new room.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“No, is this really…my room?”
The room Atia gave was completely different from the small and narrow maid’s room where she had been rolling in cookie crumbs all day.
The ceiling was adorned with a sparkling chandelier, luxurious wallpaper, and ample space even when stretching out both hands and feet.
Kesha was staggering with her mouth open. It seemed larger than the quarters where several maids lived together.
No matter how she looked at it, it was awkward for a single maid to live in such a room.
“Do you like it?”
“Yes, completely. I am really, so moved.”
“I’m glad.”
“May I dare to live in such a place…….”
Atia squinted one corner of her eye and patted Kesha’s shoulder.
“Don’t say that. You’re fully qualified.”
“My lady…….”
Kesha looked at Atia with tearful eyes as her eyes turned red.
Her face, bathed in morning sunlight, was even more beautiful.
If there were angels in the world, they would look like this.
“My lady seems to be even prettier than yesterday.”
Atia gave a small smile.
“You seem to be in a good mood today, Kesha.”
“I always feel good when I’m with my lady.”
“Then, to celebrate the new room, shall we exercise?”
The smile on Kesha’s face gradually distorted.
“Hahaha…… Haa, yes.”
Kesha reluctantly replied.
Squeak.
Atia opened the door and sniffed around the hallway.
“I left a lot of strong air fresheners in the hallway. On a day like today when the blizzard is severe, we can’t even go outside.”
“Th, that’s right.”
“Right? So, open the window a bit.”
Following Atia’s instructions, Kesha walked to the window and opened it.
“This room has good ventilation, so it’ll be fine. We’ll go to the training ground when the snow stops later.”
“Yes.”
Atia brought out small tools from a box she had prepared in advance.
“Oh, what is this?”
Kesha opened her eyes wide and asked.
“Is this what my lady asked for last time?”
It was a large blue rubber ball, a small rubber ball, and an elastic band.
“I wondered what you were going to use such a big thing for…….”
Atia bounced the large rubber ball that Kesha had specifically requested.
Thump! The ball bounced off the floor with a dull sound.
Atia sat on the ball with a satisfied look on her face.
“This is going to be used instead of a gym ball.”
“……A gym ball? What is that?”
Kesha tilted her head.
