《TML? IDWH》chapter 40

"Laura can use this room and Emma can use the room next to her. Royer, you can also choose any you like."
"Then I'll probably look around on the second floor. In order not to embarrass women."
"As you say."
The room Luna had prepared for them was on the third floor. Next to the room of Luna itself.
They were large and colorful rooms.
These luxurious rooms were usually used for guests, so when Luna suddenly decided to give them to her maids, the butler Carlton was greatly surprised.
"Lady. Sounds like a very nice room? I don't think she suits me."
"It will be very uncomfortable for me to use this room. Suddenly someone will see."
Of course, Laura and Emma refused such luxurious rooms, saying that they could not use these rooms. The rooms were too nice for the servants. But Luna didn't even want to hear anything about it.
"Everything is good. In any case, only we will use the 3rd floor. Any guests we have will only stay on the second floor. So no one will see it. "
"But I still think this is too good a room."
"I agree. What if I stain something here? It's scary."
"You can clean it up easily."
"What if something breaks here?"
"I'll buy a new one, that's all."
All this time they were standing on the threshold, the poet Luna slightly pushed them so that they could better see their rooms. Laura and Emma were very excited looking around their new rooms.
It was hard for them to accept such a gift, but it was so good inside.
"My God, just look at this soft blanket."
"I can sleep on the couch!"
Luna watched them happily behind the open door. Next to her stood the butler, who was as tough as a stone statue, and spoke to Luna.
"It was used as a guest room all the time. Maybe you will think about it again?"
"No. The guest room will be on the second floor. The third floor will be used by me and my family."
"But Laura and Emma are not the owners of the mansion, so I think it would be better to give them the rooms on the first floor."
"Before I became the owner of this mansion, they were my family. They didn't give birth to me, but they raised me. So they deserve the third floor."

It was very unusual for the owners to give their servants luxurious rooms. But the butler could do nothing about it.
None of the nobles lived on the same floor with their servants. But Luna didn't see it as supernatural, especially for people like Laura and Emma.
"People will see. I'm sure there will be rumors."
Hearing these words, Luna felt ill for a second.
"Will people see? Rumors?" Luna asked Carlton, with a smile on her face.
"People, your guests, who will come to the mansion."
"I can not understand. So now I need to take care of other people's opinions about my mansion?"
"No ... I mean ..."
"That's all. Please don't mention any more Laura and Emma's rooms. I really want them to use these rooms. "
If he recommended other rooms again, Luna would definitely be angry. Therefore, Carlton just sigh and bowed his head, decided to keep his opinion to himself.
"... Good. Then I will inform the servants about it. Until then, settle down and rest."
He turned and disappeared down the stairs.
***
Luna's new mansion seemed very large because she had lived in a small old house for twenty years.
It was so big that she was afraid to get lost. And the number of personnel was so great that it was difficult for Luna to remember the names of all of them. But for the first day at the mansion, she felt comfortable.
Luna, Laura, and Emma, who spent hours wandering around the mansion, sat in a glass garden at the end of the corridor on the first floor.
"I wonder how they came up with such a garden?"
"Really. All the walls are made of glass, so the garden is visible both from the inside and from the outside!"
"Yes. And through the glass ceiling, you can watch the stars. Although I'm a little worried about what will happen if a hurricane comes."
Laura said, looking at Luna with an uneasy look.
"They cover him with a canopy if a hurricane comes."
"Yes? Then OK."
The more Luna learned about the rose mansion, the more she felt sorry for Rosemary.
It was a beautiful mansion, each room was plush, and she sold it for only 15,000 gold pieces.
"I would add another 10,000 gold at least now."
With such thoughts, she basked in warm tea, but her thoughts were interrupted by the butler.

"Madam, a letter has arrived. From Lady Rosemary Vincent."
"Lady Rosemary?"
Luna immediately opened the letter. Fortunately, she immediately saw the congratulations.
[I am very glad that the mansion has found its owner. I would like to see you and personally congratulate you, but I could not come, as a lot of things had accumulated.
By the way, how about a party this weekend? I think there will be about ten people. They are all very young and they are good friends of mine.]
There were four days before the weekend.
Even when Luna found out that there would be only ten people, she got a little nervous, because this was the first party in her life.
The butler, silently watching from behind, said to Luna.
"If you tell me the theme of the party, I will arrange it accordingly."
"Hmm, theme ... Can you make it as colorful as possible? I only have four days, is it possible? This is my first party."
"think four days will be enough. It's not a problem."
The butler answered confidently. Then he fixed his gaze on Luna.
Rosemary, who was still his mistress, was a completely different person.
"Speaking of the party. You will need a new dress."
"New dress? More dresses? "
"I need to write a letter to Lady Rosemary. Can I bring some stationery and a pen?"
"Yes. Sure."
The butler, expressionless on his face, bowed to show his politeness and walked out of the glass garden.
"But you didn't speak about what was in the letter. How did the butler know it was about the party?"
Asked Laura, who had been watching the conversation between Luna and the butler up to this point.
Luna pondered her question. However, there was nothing wrong with that.
"I think Lady Rosemary told him this beforehand."
"Oh, maybe."
"Do you think I should buy a new dress?"
"I dont know. I heard that noble people prepare new dresses for every party, but you have dresses that you have never worn before, so I think you can wear them."
"Do you think?"
There was nothing to cook then. Seeing the servants preparing for the party, she only gave instructions on what, where and how best to do it.
"I don't have much to do. So I need to study the mansion better. Otherwise, if guests come, and I cannot tell anything about him, I will be embarrassed. "
"Take a break and start tomorrow." Emma said.
Luna agreed, jokingly that she was very tired today. Laughing, they continued to drink tea
***
Silence reigned in the dining room. No one made a sound as they dined in silence.
There were no emotions on their faces, so it was impossible to tell if the food tasted good or not. But the meal was interrupted when the butler, breaking the silence, called for Rosemary.
"Lady, you have a letter."
"Really ?!"
Rosemary jumped up from her chair after receiving a letter from the servant.
Luna's name was written on the outside of the envelope. Seeing this, Rosemary quickly disappeared from the dining room.
"... What was that just now?"
"I don't know what I saw now."
The Marquis Vincent and his wife, who were dining together, stopped eating and stared at each other. Their faces showed a complete lack of understanding of the current situation.
Because of this, the servant who delivered the letter to Rosemary decided to explain himself.
"This is a letter from Lady Luna Pales."
"Luna Pales?"
Because of Antares, they didn't like listening to other people's rumors, so they wanted more accurate information. So this time the butler, William, was summoned.
"Do you know why Rosemary made such a strange sound after receiving a letter from Lady Luna Pales, and literally jumped up from her seat and left dinner?"
She made a sound like a joyful little puppy.
The butler did not know where to start. If he told too much, he was afraid of the consequences from Antares.
A butler who worried for a while and quickly chose an answer that would not harm him in any way.
"It's hard to tell you all because of ... it's Lady Rosemary's personal business, but in short, she has a new friend."
It was a very good answer and it was true.
Somehow, before the Marquis and the Marquis's wife asked for more details, William spoke up.
"It seems to me that there is nothing serious in the letter. But I think Lady Rosemary will tell you everything herself."
"If so..."
"Rosemary looked cheerful all the time, which is great. If this is a good friend whom she loves so much, we can only be happy for her. "
"Quite right."
Fortunately, the butler's answer worked. The marquis and his wife believed him and let him go.
After the brief commotion was over, silence fell again in the dining room.
