The drunken Gauzer, who emerged with a haggard face, was different from the Gauzer in Lishi’s memory.
When he was at the Duke’s House, Gauzer was always dressed in a suit, his hair fixed with pomade without a strand out of place, giving a sharp and tidy impression.
But the Gauzer before Lishi’s eyes now had neglected hair and a messy beard, wearing rumpled and dirty clothes.
If it hadn’t been for Gauzer’s characteristic pumpkincolored eyes, she might have thought she had the wrong person.
“What is it?”
His tone had also changed.
Gauzer was looking not at Lishi, but at Kevrant.
Kevrant, without a word, raised his palm and pointed at Lishi.
Only then did Gauzer’s gaze shift towards Lishi.
A shock took hold in his hazy eyes.
“Ah, Miss…?”
Gauzer was one of the few who called Lishi “Miss.”
Remembering Gauzer who always respectfully called her “Miss” with a grave expression, Lishi forced a bitter smile.
In her past life, she only knew Gauzer after he became the royal finance minister, she did not know how he had lived before.
‘So this is how you lived. After your wife and children left, living alone and in agony, then pulling yourself together and admirably sitting in that position.’
“Is it… really you, Miss Iris?”
When Lishi didn’t answer, Gauzer asked again.
He too, failed to recognize her due to her greatly changed appearance from their time at the Duke’s House.
“Yes, it’s Iris. I’m not a ‘Miss’ anymore though.”
“Excuse me? So… so they finally chased you out? No, no. Perhaps being chased out might be better than being treated like that…”
The still drunken Gauzer rambled on, pressing his temples hard.
“I wasn’t chased out. I left on my own. I got married. To this man, Earl Kevrant Green.”
Gauzer looked at Kevrant with eyes as wide as they could be.
“Earl Green… huh…”
Gauzer, who had been studying Kevrant’s face with his mouth agape for quite a while, had tears welling up in his eyes.
Choking on his tears, Gauzer hastily grabbed Lishi’s hand.
“I’m… I’m relieved, Miss. You married such a wonderful and splendid person… Truly relieved… Sniff… Sob…”
Kevrant, who had been glaring at Lishi’s hand held by Gauzer, relaxed his expression at the words ‘wonderful and splendid person’.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I just… got so emotional… Those damned people, ah, pardon my language. Anyway, those family jerks to treat Miss… No, that’s not right.”
Lishi knew what Gauzer was trying to say.
He thought that those family jerks would sell the Miss to a guy like Alford.
But he stopped, probably because Kevrant was there.
“For now, come in. Ah… I haven’t cleaned the house… Just a moment…”
“Gauzer. Wait.”
Lishi stopped Gauzer, who was about to enter the house.
“I came to have a long talk with you. Come to the pub next to the central square once you’re a bit sober.”
+++
In her past life, Alford, who had run the largest trading company on the continent, liked pubs.
Not just for the alcohol, but it was a place to hear all sorts of rumors, and those rumors were of great help to his business if he listened to them well.
Lishi also liked it when Alford went to the pub.
Because Alford wouldn’t come home for a day or two when he went to the pub.
What Alford was doing at the pub, who he was meeting, Lishi was not interested at all.
When Lishi and Kevrant entered, the people who were chattering here and there suddenly went silent and looked at the two conspicuous figures.
Lishi, reflexively hiding her face by pressing down the brim of her fedora, followed Kevrant to a seat in the corner.
“See, I told you we stand out.”
Kevrant said as he sat down.
“It’s because of you. You’re too big.”
“I don’t think so.”
“Then it must be because of this hair color. It’s unique.”
Lishi said, twirling the silver ends tinged with red around her finger.
“If you don’t want to stand out, you should wear a robe with a hood, Lishi. From head to toe, you have a look that makes people want to keep watching.”
As if to prove his words, Kevrant’s eyes did not leave Lishi.
Strangely, whenever Kevrant looked at her with such gaze, Lishi felt fidgety. Her chest felt ticklish, her waist tightened, and her toes twitched.
“Anyway.”
Luckily, Kevrant turned his gaze away.
“Do you know the rumors about your secret relationship with the Duke of Alford are gradually becoming a truth, Lisi?”
“I am aware. It even made headlines a few days ago.”
“You won’t be unaware of the source of the rumors… how long are you planning to watch?”
“Have you personally suffered any damage due to this rumor?”
“Not yet. But, who knows about the future.”
“Then, let’s watch a bit more. Things get tastier when they are ripe.”
Since it was before mealtime, he checked the menu, planning a simple meal.
“How about salted lamb, cheese, rye bread, vegetable stew with dried mushrooms? Ah, and I’m thinking of having a beer, what about you?”
Kevrant asked.
“I’ve never tried alcohol.”
“Oh, really?”
For some reason, Kevrant’s eyes sparkled with joy.
“Why that look?”
“What’s wrong with my look?”
