Chapter 11: What's his plan? ( Eric- Sama)
The next day
The duke was sitting on his chair, working.
On his desk was mountains of paper works. It wasn't a rare sight to see, but if only elisabeth and him didn't talk for hours yesterday, there wouldn't be that much paper on his desk.
But even so, the duke didn't care. He was already used to this. He can ask his son to help him, but he didn't want to disturb them. He doesn't really need help either because he can complete this in two days.
In the room, there was only the duke and his butler, kaim.
Kaim looked at the table where a cold cup of tea waited to be drink.
Kaim sighs. The duke hasn't taken a rest. It has always been like that. When he started working, the duke will only rest when he finished all of his work, but the thing is that he will only rest for 30 minutes!
And after taking a "rest", he will go out and look around his land, and after that, he will go home and sleep. It's a cycle!
Normally, the duke finishes his work a day and then the next day, there will be a new paper work sitting on his desk, but this day, there was a lot of paper works because Miss Elisabeth and him talked for hours.
Kaim wants the duke to rest or take a day off. The duke is strong and all but he should really take care of his body.
At that moment, a person popped up in kaim's head and decided to speak.
"Eric-sama, can you rest for a minute?"
Kaim asked the duke with his usual blank expression.
"Kaim, you know I can't, right?"
Eric, the duke said, not stopping writing something on a paper.
"But elisabeth-sama told you yesterday to take care if your body. She will be sad if she heard that the duke is not taking care of himself.."
Kaim sighs and shakes his head.
Hearing kaim's words, the duke stopped writing. His face looks like he's in deep thought.
Silence filled the room.
Kaim didn't mind the silence and just stood there.
After five minutes of silence, the duke sighs and spoke up.
"Kaim, bring a new tea, this one is cold. And also bring snacks with you. I'll take a brake."
Hearing his words, kaim immediately disappeared.
He didn't think that it will work..
'So i can use Miss elisabeth huh..'
Kaim didn't think about how can elisabeth change the duke's mind, he just thought about how can he use elisabeth in a good way.
After five seconds, kaim appeared again, but with a tray in his left hand.
Kaim placed the plate full of cookies and a tea cup. He then carefully poured tea on the tea cup.
His movements were gentle but fast, and with a handsome face, he's the perfect hus- butler.
The duke began eating after Kaim finished pouring the tea.
As the duke eats, kaim looks at him, preparing to say something.
"Eric-sama, I don't want to disturb you, but may i talk with you while you rest?"
The duke didn't think about it and just nods.
"May i know why did you take in miss Elisabeth? I have been with you for a long time and i know you're not the type to do something with no plans."
Kaim doesn't look like it but he was really curious about it.
The duke was not surprised in kaim's question. He knew he will ask about it. He took a cookie on the plate and just said:
"I was just comfortable with her."
And bites the cookie in his right hand.
"Is that really it, eric-sama?"
Kaim didn't believe the duke's words. He stood there looking at the duke, waiting for the real answer.
The duke noticed him staring and shook his head.
"You really don't believe me?"
He paused and added:
"I was really comfortable with her. It was weird because i have only met her ones. Yesterday, i asked myself why? And thought that maybe because i ate her food."
After saying that, he laughed.
"It was really a foolish thing to think."
He added:
"When I found out that she was Duke Campbell's daughter and was chased away by her own father, I pitied her. What's wrong with that man? Chasing away a beautiful daughter"
The duke shook his head.
Seeing the duke laughing, kaim widen his eyes and smiled.
"Is that so. Eric-sama, I guess taking her in was a good idea."
The duke saw that Kaim widen his eyes.
"Is it really that shocking kaim? I mean taking elisabeth in."
He raised his right brow and grab the cup full of tea.
"Well I didn't widen my eyes because of that but still... who knew the duke will take in a girl because she made you feel comfortable."
Kaim said with his eyes closed.
"Isn't it like kidnapping her because she made you feel comfortable?"
The duke didn't thought that kaim look at it like that..
"Did I blurted that out?"
Kaim said in a whisper.
"Yeah you did💢." - duke
"Oh would you look at the time! I need to go to miss elisabeth's room to show her around!"
Kaim looked at the window and immediately disappeared, using elisabeth to scape the duke.
After disappearing, the room was now again silent.
The duke looks at the window and chuckled.
"I haven't had a conversation like that in a long time with kaim."
After that, he started working.
(He finished his work immediately because he feels relaxed and happy UwU)
