Book 3: Chapter 8: For the Young Lady Part 4
When I returned home, Lady Sophia was waiting for me in the entrance hall of the Rosenberg Household’s secondary residence. The first thing she did when she saw me was informing me that she had something to discuss with me. I was sure that she wanted to talk about yesterday’s incident, so I gestured for the other servants to withdraw.
“Lady Sophia, the scene you saw yesterday–”
“That is not what I want to talk about.”
She replied something very unexpected. I pondered about what incident she might have wanted to talk about then, but I really had no clue. It seemed that I ought to hear Lady Sophia out first.
“Yesterday, my older brother, Ernest, told me something.”
“…Yesterday? Could that also be the reason you came to the Student Council’s office yesterday…?”
“Yes. I wanted to consult you about what I had been told.”
“So that’s… I apologize.”
I would have inevitably returned to the mansion anyway. The fact that she went all the way to the Student Council meeting room where she thought I was, despite it, just for the sole purpose of consulting me, meant that it must have been a considerably urgent or serious matter. And yet, when she found me, I was holding hands with Alicia, looking like we were flirting. No wonder Lady Sophia was in a bad mood.
