The two girls walked over while using hand fans to cover their faces towards the crowd of nobles who suddenly swarmed over Clara who had just finished dancing and wanted to rest with sharp and cold gazes. Clara did not understand where her fault was but at that very moment all the noble women went slowly because of these two girls.
"You come with me to the break room there are things we both want to talk to you about" one of the girls said to Clara
Clara quite understood the manners of the nobles, especially about the girl holding the hand fan covering her face which meant that she was humbling yourself indirectly. Clara initially wanted to reject the invitation of the two noble girls but seeing the noble girls who had been swarming around her suddenly dispersed just like that made her sure that the two girls in front of her were not noble ones ordinary but a girl who has a high degree.
"Well, I will follow you" said Clara who was then taken by the two girls to a large and luxurious room compared to other rest rooms
Seen in the room was just an empty room and told the three of them in the room. The two girls immediately sat down leaving Clara who stood in confusion because she knew nothing.
"Are you just going to stand? After the dance, aren't you tired? Calm down we will not pull you here to eat or punish you,"
"Duke Freiheit, ask us to help bring you to rest because he knows the two-tongued nobles will find out what happened about your relationship with him,"
"We are her friends,"
"My name is Grace Reicher I'm a duchess leading my family and the wife of Duke Winzig and the one next to me is Asha Edelstein just like me a duchess because the Duke Reicher and Edelstein families have no heirs but it can't be taken for granted that the king allows us to lead the family until our heir is born and she's also the wife of Duke Aelfraed,"
"You can call us names straight away" Grace said with a smile and a gentle look towards Clara
Clara immediately introduced herself politely and asked to be called by name as well. The brief introductions and the friendly nature of Grace and Asha make Clara feel comfortable until she forgets the time when the party is over.
"Clara, you really are a sweet and kind girl,"
"It's a pity that this time is too short, but we will invite you to our tea party later to continue this conversation" Grace said with a sparkling look at Clara
Not long after Grace was satisfied to say long farewell words, Clara went home and immediately laid herself on the bed without changing clothes because she was tired of what happened at the party.
The next day, when Clara wanted to wake up her whole body was sick because she had never moved much as she lived her life and yesterday was the first time she ran when she never exercised. Her worried parents quickly called the doctor to check on her daughter, who had only been gouty because she was motionless.
Listening to the news of Clara being sick quickly, Duke Freiheit immediately visited the Fragrante family mansion, although he was yelled at and held by his subordinates but no one could make him stop.
"Otherwise, can you do your job before you leave, please,"
"And how can you tell the rumors that he's sick faster than the gossiping waitresses don't tell me you're asking a spy to watch him and monitor his daily activities in person?" said the subordinate who hugged the Duke's leg so that he did not go or run out of his office because it was still a mountain of documents waiting for the direction of the duke
"And don't I have subordinates for what if not to replace me working," said Dain with a grin at the person in front of him
"What if that girl finds out that you put a spy in her mansion? He may be frightened and may no longer want to see you even if you are interested in meeting him,"
"The girl will definitely also be suspicious of the man who came to her mansion all of a sudden even though there is no news circulating," said the subordinate by raising his glasses trying to make his superior not go to the mansion of people arbitrarily
Dain nodded in understanding with the words said by his subordinates because it was quite reasonable. He gave up his intention to go and sit in his office, but instead of doing his job he wrote a letter of visit to the Fragrante family so he could see the girl.
"Please don't be crazy like this, Your Highness Duke,"
"You could be heartbroken a second time, because no woman likes to rush like my wife,"
"However, if you work hard in front of this stacked document paper all the girls will definitely be very happy,"
"It's better that you send flowers as a healing greeting then the girl must also be quite happy," said the subordinate can immediately make a hand gesture Dain stopped writing and immediately worked on his documents and asked his subordinates to do that only
His subordinates now quite understand how low the intelligence of his superiors, because of love so that they can be asked to do his work only with a little nonsense and convincing seasoning, he said, but thankfully it can be asked to do the work then. On the other hand Clara is currently laying down all day in her bed with various novel books that accompany her because she can not move or go anywhere.
Suddenly many servants entered his room delivering flowers to make his room full of flowers. Clara was certainly confused because she had never gotten this much flower from anyone even from her own family, this was the first time she was confused by all the flowers that came out of nowhere.
"Miss, this is a flower delivered from the duke's residence Freiheit,"
"This is also the letter that is delivered along with the flowers that are sent," said the waiter, handing Clara a letter that was still confused by what a Duke actually did to her until she was given a lot of attention
"All right, thank you,"
"But, I'm pretty sure that the news of my illness won't be heard to the noble world let alone heard to the ears of a Duke,"
"Are you a spy from the Fragrante family?"
