Claire was a little impulsive
“So, what happened between Gelda and the fairy?”
“Yes. It’s already been decided that Ms. Gelda will be working as Mr. Takumi’s servant. So this matter is related to him as well.”
“Both Mr. Takumi and Lady Claire’s permission is necessary. Ms. Gelda and the fairy already agreed. Though…Leo being close by might have affected it…”
“I see… Very well. I don’t know what I can do. But I will take responsibility.”
While not much was known about fairies, it had been around Ms. Gelda for a long time. And I doubted anything bad would happen at this point.
With all of the different creatures here already, what could one fairy do? In general, it would just look after Ms. Gelda.
“Also…Lady Claire. Ms. Gelda just finished talking to him earlier.”
“Any problems?”
“Not really. Ms. Gelda is not one to dwell on the past.”
“I see.”
“Him…?”
“She spoke to the person who pushed her.”
“What? The one who was the reason that the fairy made a contract with her?”
“Yes. He is…”
Apparently, the boy had grown up and become a servant in this house as well.
Leo and Claire had gained this information from the fairy.
Well, if the fairy stuck with Ms. Gelda right after that, then it was no surprise that she would know.
“Even if he was young, it cannot be overlooked how cruelly he treated a little girl.”
Declared Claire.
“And for the sake of that little girl in the past, I wanted him to repent of his crimes. And so I gave him an opportunity to apologize to Gelda.”
“But Ms. Gelda said that she had nearly forgotten that it even happened, and that no apology was necessary…”
“However! To push away a girl who cooked for you… Besides, he had forgotten about it as well.”
“Haha…”
Clearly, Claire was able to imagine how Ms. Gelda must have felt.
According to Sebastian, the man, who was now a butler, did remember after he was told the story. And he was genuinely apologetic. So at least they had not forced it out of him.
However, Ms. Gelda did not like to bring up the past. And she also did not care about it at all anymore.
“After all, I know it all too well now. How it is for a woman to be serious about a man. Even if it may seem like I am getting involved in someone else’s affairs…I had to do something…!”
“…”
“Ah… Well, of course. Haha…”
Claire seemed to be somewhat aware that she was overeating a little, and looked embarrassed.
Of course, I had reasons to want to agree with her…
Yes, I would have to do something about that soon.
“Alfred. Sorry, but could you gather the servants together tomorrow? I have something to talk about regarding Claire…”
“Certainly. I will gather all of your servants, as well as the house servants who are free.”
“Uh, no, you don’t have to go that far…”
I whispered into Alfred’s ear while Sebatian and Claire stared at me.
Regardless, I wanted the advice of some of the women, like Ms. Lyra, Gelda and Jane, so I made sure that he would prioritize them.
Of course, those who were busy should do their jobs.
Still, Alfred looked quite excited, so he would probably end up gathering quite a lot of people…
she was overeating a little -> she was overreacting a little
Thanks.
