《TML? IDWH》chapter 54

- Let's party all night! Moments like this are very rare!
Rosemary announced and dozed off before eleven o'clock.
"Rosemary, are you sleeping?"
"...Ah... no..."
She slept. If left alone, she would put her nose on the plate, so Luna called the servants and asked them to take Rosemary to her room.
"I don't really want to sleep... Hey... Luna, I need to take another walk like this..."
- Good. Goodnight."
Luna waved her hand to see Rosemary off. When she reached the guest room, Rosemary fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
"Because of her studies, she gets up very early every morning, so it's not surprising."
Royer said as he finished his glass.
"Because of the courses for successors?"
- Yes. Because Mistress Rosemary is very smart, the Marquis seems to have pushed her to the limit. In my opinion, it would be better to train her gradually."
After Royer's answer, they, along with Luna, sadly looked at Antares.
"Are you saying it's my fault?"
- Yes."
- Yes."
"You abandoned your father and ran away."
Of course, he ran away because of Fersen, not because he didn't want to be the heir, but as a result, the whole burden fell on Rosemary.
Crossing his arms, Antares answered.
- Good. If I went back to Vincent's estate, I think Rosemary would still be successful. Because she deserves the title of marquis more than I do.
"However, Mr. Antares is the eldest son, so shouldn't he become the successor?"
- The eldest son does not have to be the heir. If there is someone who can do it better, he should do it. That's why my father didn't even look for me and made me Rosemary's successor."
Luna didn't expect such an answer. He seemed to sincerely believe that Rosemary was a better match for the Marchioness than he was.
"So you mean that even if the Marquis offers you to become the head of the family, you will refuse?"
- I'm not going to destroy a beautiful family. I don't want to be involved in this."
"He is very different from the original Antares. Other than that, just like my story."
Antares did not seek to annoy the duke's family, nor Fersen with his power. There was also no moon, which interfered with Fersen and Seira.

On the contrary, now people think that the real evil is Fersen and Seyra. Everyone thought they made up a story that didn't exist and tried to denigrate a worthy man.
"Then thank God."
While Luna was in her thoughts, Royer replied with a very pleased face.
- What are you talking about?"
- This means that it is good that Mr. Antares does not want to take responsibility for the family. I want to be the Marquis' lawyer for as long as possible. The pay is pretty good."
After Royer's answer, Antares thought about whether he should cross the line or not, he felt embarrassed.
"I don't need to become a marquis to put you out of work right now."
"Then I will present my resume to Baroness Pales."
Royer drew Luna into the conversation.
- I'll do whatever you ask Luna. I'm even willing to do housework."
Antares felt even more uncomfortable.
"What if I ever marry Luna, what will you do?"
"I think Luna won't let that happen."
They both waited for Luna's answer. She didn't know what to say, so she decided not to take sides.
- Neither one nor the other."
Luna, coldly rejecting both of them, drank the rest of the wine and rose from her seat.
- We're going to bed too. I'm tired after the ceremony. Antares also just arrived in the capital today, so you must be tired, you need to rest. And Royer...
He was having a pretty easy day, so Luna, who had been thinking for a while, looked at him and Antares alternately before continuing.
"If you go to bed early, you will get taller, right?"
- ... No, Luna! It's already quite big, how much more?!"
Antares, very pleased with the attack on Royer, got up from his seat following Luna.
"There is a myth that if you go to bed late, you become shorter, so go to bed early."
- My height is above average, maybe a little less! Are you even listening to me!?"
Royer said, but nobody cared. Antares and Luna said they were going to bed, so Royer left, muttering something under his breath.

The next day, early in the morning, a guest arrived at the mansion.
Luna, who was very angry at the sound of a guest arriving, almost at dawn, asked who had come.

"It was William, Marquis Vincent's butler."
"...Butler to the Marquis?"
"Maybe it's because of Rosemary, who didn't come home yesterday. She left without warning anyone, so the butler came. Luna thought.
- Could you wake up Rosemary? I'll go down when I'm ready."
- Good."
After washing her face, Luna straightened her outfit and went down to the first floor.
As an aristocrat, she didn't even have to say hello to the butler, but she still had to get up to see Rosemary off, so it was a coincidence.
The marquis' butler, neatly combed, bowed politely to the moon.
- I'm sorry I came to you so early. As soon as Mistress Rosemary comes down, I will leave quickly."
- Everything is fine. I already asked to wake up Rosemary. Would you like some tea?"
- I'll be very thankful."
The butler smiled warmly at Luna's very kind reply.
"I was supposed to send her home yesterday, but there were some circumstances, so please forgive me."
The butler's heart melted at Luna's concern.
- Good. Don't worry."
While Rosemary got up and went downstairs, Luna and the butler talked for a bit. It was about the weather and the mansion.
"Are you familiar with our butler and servants?"
- Yes. It was a mansion that Rosemary loved very much, and it's not far from us, so we talked a lot. Sometimes we even hired people for Marquis' big parties."
While the Marquis's butler and Carlton casually talked about how close they were, thankfully, Rosemary soon showed up with a very depressed face.
"I wish I could live here."
- You can come again.
Needless to say, it was already clear. She will definitely come next week.
Rosemary got into the carriage with a despondent expression.
- I really liked it. See you soon."
"Goodbye, be careful."
As soon as the farewell was over, the carriage left. Rosemary continued to wave, so Luna had to do the same in return.
* * *
Luna returned to her room and fell asleep, but was soon awakened by a knock on the door.
"I wanted to skip breakfast and go to bed, who the hell is there?"
Maybe someone else came? Luna wanted to ask, but she couldn't even open her eyes and get out of bed.
- What happened?"
- This is Carlton. I need to tell you something."
When she checked the time, it was still eight in the morning. Too early for reports.
She didn't want to answer, but after yesterday's butler's remark, she decided to take the path of correction and no longer ignore his reports.
Luna, rubbing her sleepy eyes, struggled to hold back a yawn and let the butler into the room.
What am I looking at?
"This is an optional shopping list of missing items."
The butler answered and handed her a piece of paper. When she looked at the list, it said what was missing in the kitchen. They ran out of milk, eggs, salt, pepper and meat, all of which had to be bought.
"Did you wake up this morning to report this little thing?"
It was absurd, but the report was a report. Luna took a deep breath and nodded.
- Good. Is there anything else you wanted to say?"
- It's all."
"Then go ahead."
- Yes."
As soon as the butler left, Luna fell back onto the bed and fell asleep. This time she really wanted to sleep peacefully.
Fortunately, there was no one else to wake Luna from her sleep, so she was able to fall asleep.
Two hours later, after rubbing her eyes, she got up and headed to the dining room for a brunch. But on her way down, she ran into a butler with a paper in his hand.
"Ah, I was just about to visit you."
- Why?"
"I need to tell you something."
"Again?"
The butler, holding out his hand, again handed the papers to the moon and said.
"I went shopping, which I reported to you in the morning."
"If he left and came back two hours later, he could just report everything at once, why create so much trouble?"
Luna suddenly became nervous without even realizing it.
"I didn't tell you about this, but it will be more convenient if you report everything at once."
"I thought it would be easier to sort things out that way."
- If you report everything like this, it will take all day. So stop."
Luna finished her speech, because if every time the butler pulls her over the little things, she will go crazy.
It was a really unpleasant start to the day.
