Chapter 56 - Answer to the confession-like scouting 3

I had no right to hold him, he has total freedom except for the contracted period . In this case, he didn’t have to come until the heat cools down .

“…I did not know Ojou-sama had thought that highly of me . ”

As if poking fun at me, Dean smiled . Even though I was serious .

“Of course . Or else I wouldn’t have trusted you with the job . ”

Dean smiled at the words I had sighed out .

“Ma~…certainly, so far if you talk about my work, I had never had a hard time that I had to hit something against a wall . ”

Simply saying big things like that is… just like Dean . Rather, I’m the one thinkingthat might be so if it’s him .

“……but, that itself is very boring . Whether its studying or exercising isn’t that right? To bump into something and then overcoming it, you will get a sense of accomplishment . Enjoying something has nothing to do with interest or emotional attachment . ”

Resetting myself, I was convinced that certainly, that was true . Even in my past life, when I had accomplished something difficult, I felt the sense of accomplishment . …though I don’t know why he would tell me this now .

“……but when I came here, I had my share of fun . The fresh ideas that I can’t even think of brought by Ojou-sama and working beside the talented servants who all work under Ojou-sama . To begin reforming the fief and cleaning it up . It has been a long time since I had thought about what should I do next and wonder what will come out next . For that reason, it is interesting . ”

From the door, he walked step by step, closer to my desk .

“That is why I came here . Though I had previously planned to work here for only a while, my legs unconsciously bring me here . ”

I looked up at him as he towered over me . (TL:I’m dying Help!-見上げるような形) He had an expression that tells me he is having fun .

“It is not impossible that Ojou-sama doesn’t trust me . I, myself, can only sign a temporary contract and Ojou-sama has her trustworthy servants that had been with you since childhood .

It is true that I trust them . No…if you take out Otou-sama (Father) and Okaa-sama (Mother), you can say I “only” trust them .

“I can’t ask you to treat me the same as them . They had spent and lived with you far longer than I have . But, Ojou-sama . I truly, from the bottom of my heart, enjoy being your hands and feet . Even when the contract ends . ”

“……Dean…”

“You don’t need to hold back . I am only serving you for a while but…I am already, MiLady, yours . ”

My face grew warm when he said those words . Even though it was always me who says these confession-like scouting words . When the positions are flipped around, it became embarrassing (TL: Who wants this as “awkward” instead?)

Dean had said what he wanted to say and left the room .

Left behind, for a while I sat dumbfounded .

What are you talking about Dean? You can sign a permanent [marriage] contract ya know? I’m pretty sure everyone here wants that too (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
