Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter - Chapter 228

Dida’s departure

(TL: Dida speaking…)

“… well, lets see what happens afterwards…”

I completed all the handover work for Lyle and approached the entrance to leave the mansion.
Since it was instructed by the princess, everything was prepared within a moment.

“Oh, don’t worry Dida, leave our lady to me.”

Lyle responded while strongly assuring me he should take care of her. That reaction and words … If someone wants to hurt the princess, the biggest opponent here is Lyle… She’s safe.

“If you are with her Lyle, I can be at easy… Well then, thanks again.”

At the end of the path I took, there lays a small gate that the servants normally use, smaller than a normal door.
As I approached it, I noticed that one person was standing in front of the gate.
…… it was Tanya.

“What did you come here for?”

At the words I said teasing her, she keeps silent.
She just keeps watching me with a serious look on her face as if observing me.
I sighed at her reaction and began to move my legs.

“……I’ll be back Tanya…”

I told her with a serious voice and passed through her to the outside.

“……Wait”

She ran from behind and after catching up, she stopped me from continuing further.

“My men have already headed to the east ahead of time to investigate.”

“Oh, I’m listening”

For her, this seems to be an unlikely unusual and tough moment.

“… Our lady cared a lot about this case… Though, to be honest, I also feel that something big is beneath it.”

It is truly unusual.
There is no proof of what Tanya says, so why to say it?.
However, I agree on that feeling… something smells like trouble here.
I was extremely reluctant to leave the princess side, but I felt this case strange after thinking calmly.

“What you feel is the precursor of something that’s about to happen?”

“I do not understand very well, but I feel uncomfortable about it.”

“Oh yeah, same with me.”

“…… Act different from your usual way for the time being, please bring this with you and go to this place as soon as you reach there. There you can come in contact with my men and get any news from us. I have already informed them about you. They’re under your command for this operation.”

She offered me a piece of paper.

“I will give you my credit for that.”

“Besides, it is not for you … I’m only helping you because of the expectations the lady has for this operation… And… take care and come back soon…”

Words unexpectedly cute coming from her took me by surprise. I laughed.
“Come back soon” … Reading various meanings in her words…

“Oh, I feel better now”

Then I left the mansion.
