Tanya's Adventure II
...... Before that, there is one errand that I have to finish.
Originally, my lady's instructions are top priority for me.
But for this errand, I do not know the person my lady sent me to.
No doubt, I will not even imagine.
Now that 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 I 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 who gets the trust of Iris"
I tilt my head to Mimosa's words.
"Even at the academy, I often heard the story, you, Dida, Lyle, and her were always together...... I 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 the 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 something to help me about that... I want you to stop her."
"Why, is it? She is very frightened of your situation 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 words.
There is already an investigation about Mimosa's marriage ordered by the lady.
And this marriage 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 ordered by Princess Elle.
If you are engaged already, nothing can be done, but it is difficult to refuse a royal edict because when there is no certain reason.
Besides, Mimosa's opponent is someone with the reputation of a knight.
Crying, Mimosa entered into engagement with the man recommended by Princess Elle.
If the lady knows this fact, it's imaginable that she will start moving urgently and everything would turn bad.
That is why I want to know her intention.
"... Yes, after all, the Duke of Almeria had already grabbed the information"
Mimosa laughed sadly.
"Well then, I will ask you a little further, because that gentle and responsible feeling is so strong in her...... Maybe she is about to do something, but that would put her in a difficult position, I want you to keep an eye out for it, so don't let her get involved absolutely."
"You know well her, do not you think?"
"Because I am a friend, I told her terrible things, but for me she is really important, so that's why I do not want to disturb her"
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 mean getting a political marriage... 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 that person?"
"Because she trusts you, I thought you could do it."There is no precedence of an employee prying on his master affairs.
However, Mimosa may still be convinced.
If we talked 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 I do not do it for my lady, I do not even want to be involved, as Mimosa says. But she ordered it.
.... However.
"... Though it is a word, 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.
