Formerly, The Fallen Daughter of the Duke - Chapter 88

[Book commemoration SS] Memories at Baron Lane’s house and upcoming, first part

Nice weather, one afternoon.

Claire was writing a letter in her detached room.

Carefully apply the sentence to a cream-coloured note with a smooth touch.

I wrote down the stories and memories of the poems I enjoyed at Cartina’s villa the other day, and I ended with an invitation to ‘Come and visit’.

When I finish writing, I choose and seal a cute pale pink envelope that I remember having liked his (…) woman (…) for the first time in my life.

“I got it!

“It’s a more plain envelope than usual. Isn’t that for Miss Charlotte?

Suddenly, Claire rounded her eyes to Vike, who peeked behind her.

“Vik… sometime!

“I was going to wait over there… but Dion showed me around.”

It has only been a few weeks since Charlotte was sent to a monastery in Noston. Claire was eager to write to her sister, but so far she had never heard back.

Dion waves his hand in front of Vik.

“Why don’t you ask Sophie for tea?

Oh, can I ask you something?

Copy that. Just a minute.

Dion laughs nicely and leaves the room.

“This is addressed to Isabella, Baron Raine. I really want you to come and see me.”

Oh, you know…

Understanding Claire’s intentions, Victor broke his face.

Vik knows Claire was Isabella’s tutor for the first time in her life. That’s why Cartina, who visited us last time, took special care of us.

“… I’m glad I got involved in this life.”

“Yeah, he’s a really good kid… and…”

Besides?

For a moment Claire was distracted, so Vik answered back.

“… no. You’re a really good kid. You know Vic, don’t you?

“Oh, yeah.”

Prepare the voice that accidentally bounced. Vik also gently smiled and sat down on the sofa.

Sophie, who came a little bit later, is preparing the tea.

Place a teacup in front of each of the three and pour golden tea loosely from the pot.

Peaceful tea time. As she lay there, Claire felt a little lonely.

(Truth is, that’s not all.)

For the first time in his life, Claire was employed as a tutor with Isabella, the baroness of the House of Lane. The couple of personalities gave me a room that was too luxurious as a tutor.

Claire and Vike talked a lot in that room.

I excuse myself for being a good friend, but when I realized that I was attracted to him, I couldn’t help but notice.

It was Isabella who pushed Claire’s back because of her different identities and chose not to get lost for him.

If Isabella hadn’t forcefully taken me to the club, Claire would never have conveyed her thoughts to Vike.

The first time you two dance together, or that day will be an unforgettable memory for Claire.

“… what’s wrong?

Claire’s, over the teacup. When he noticed that he was staring, Vik looked strangely.

“No, I’m worried that Isabella will come and visit us.”

Well, would you like to write a word from me too?

Vik looks at the pale pink envelope on the writing desk.

“Vik? Isn’t that counterproductive? Hey.”

Claire was a little relieved that Dion, a bitter smile, had interrupted her.

There was no Victor with Claire back then. Not only him, but also Lewis, Keith, and Donnie.

Naturally, this second life is truly happy.

If you go back in time and start over, the fundamentals of people who love Claire haven’t changed at all.

I’m sure if you look at the same thing, you’ll have the same conversation, and if you reveal your concerns, you’ll be wrapped up at the same temperature.

Claire was the only one who was different.

(I got a lot of nice memories from everybody. That should be enough, but what a luxury I wanted to share)

Though I chose my own path, I occasionally visit sentimental and complex emotions. Claire poured tea into her throat in an attempt to erase herself.

◇

“Thank you for inviting me today…”

Isabella’s voice is trembling. At last, my feet and hands looked rough.

Claire greeted Isabella in front of the house. A nostalgic, familiar carriage. That alone makes Claire lose her face naturally.

“Hello, Isabella. How are you!

“Yes, I’m looking forward to today.”

Though your hands and feet are trembling visibly, your eyes are sparkling. Claire was relieved to find that Isabella’s words were not lies.

Guiding her to her room and prompting her to sit down, Isabella tended to sit shallowly on the sofa.

“I thought before, Claire and I have something we like together.”

Isabella smiled when she saw the tea candy served and the tea with the aroma of fruit.

“At Cartina… I feel like I liked it. I’m glad you’re happy.”

“I’m afraid to say this… but I’m so glad you’re here.”

Claire was also delighted by Isabella dyeing her cheeks.

You can call me whatever you want.

I was delighted, and it became a preposterous remark.

Understanding that Claire, the Duchess of the neighboring country, gave a room to the royal palace and secretly said, “I want you to call me onee-sama,” Isabella rounded her eyes.

“I’m really happy to say this… because Claire is special to you.”

Claire hasn’t received a proposal from Vike yet. Anyway, if there is such a word from Vike, I will naturally accept it, and I’m sure I’ll feel more happiness then ever.

However, given the Pafeet tradition of greeting His Majesty in advance, that seems to have been a long time ago.

In public, Claire is an international student from Norston and is just a friend of Vike’s. Of course, I didn’t remember Cartina showing intimate gestures in front of Isabella.

(Vik and I… we’ve been seen again.)

Following the same path as the “First Time”, Claire was pathetic and dyed her cheeks. I don’t want to lie to Isabella and change the subject in the light of the fact that this conversation is not likely to continue.

“Isabella’s tutor hasn’t been decided yet, has she? Then I hope you’ll come back here. I can teach you until you get into Royal School.”

“Thank you! My father and mother were very surprised. Actually… my mother is anxious to find a tutor to go to Claire’s.”

Fufu

Claire broke her face to Isabella, who was in serious trouble. At the same time, I think of Baroness and Baroness Raine, who are cheerful but not disrespectful.

Beautiful rose gardens and constantly warm air at Baron Raine’s.

“… I want to see you both.”

I accidentally spilled the truth. Isabella’s cool eyes are wide open to unexpected Claire’s remarks.

Isabella told Claire that she regretted it and was afraid.

“Now… if you’d like, will you come and visit us next time?”

…… Yes, of course!

“I’m… so nervous, but I’m really glad you invited Claire. If Claire came to visit us… my father and mother would be delighted.”

So Claire was able to visit Baron Raine’s house.

(This is the first time in my life… but it’s a nostalgic reunion for me.)
