Chapter 22: CH 22

Chapter 22 – The uncouth daughter explores the mansion

Second day in the Sutrena Frontier..........

I was thrilled to be in the same room with Lord Nazel, but the morning came and went without incident.

"Oh, what ......?"

After taking a bath and changing my clothes, Lord Nazel told me, "You must be tired today, so take a good rest," and I lay down on the huge bed, which was too big for me, and I quickly let go of my consciousness and fell into a sound sleep.

Lord Nazel, who was supposed to be sleeping next to me, was not there?

Perhaps he had already woken up, there was no Lord Nazel and only the remains of the tattered sheets remained.

"I.... didn't oversleep did I?"

I asked Kelly to get me ready and asked where Lord Nazel was, only to be told that he had already left.

I didn't oversleep, but Lord Nazel seems to have woken up quite early.

He seems to be working with Henry at the fort right now.

"Good, I must work hard too!"

The job of the wife of an aristocrat is to take care of the house.

"First of all, you have to know the whole mansion, and since there seem to be no servants but Kelly, you have to hire ...... wait, isn't it strange that there's no one here?!"

As I was flipping out on my own, Kelly, who was standing beside me, tells me with the same blank expression on her face.

"Actually, I heard that they couldn't get any recruits. I heard that being a servant in a lord's mansion is a very unpopular position. They may not come unless we raise their wages considerably."

"Why? It wasn't so bad in the royal capital, was it?"

"I don't know the details, but it may have something to do with the previous lord's rather bad reputation. We don't seem to be very welcome here either."

"Is that so? Is it because of the previous lord?"

"Yes, probably. Like with the wyverns yesterday, they are harassing us. I think he was mostly trying to humiliate Lord Nazelbert. Many nobles can ride a horse but not a wyvern. But that one ...... was so fast it was almost dizzying."

Kelly told us about Tony's deeds in a matter-of-fact manner.

Her tone was calm, but she seemed quite vindictive.

"I didn't realize that."

I was happy to get on the wyvern, so I had no idea it was a form of harassment...

The level of nastiness I've been exposed to as a 'Potato Lady' is too high for me to have ever noticed!

"I wonder if Lord Nazel is okay now that he's gone to work?"

"I can't say."

"I can't just barge into his office. Let's at least clean the house so that he can relax when he gets back. Kelly, I will help you clean as much as I can!"

When we came to the frontier, we were given very little in the way of funds.

We should do our best to refrain from wasting money now in case of an emergency.

"Lady Agnes, how kind of you. I will work as hard as I can."

At first, I went around the large mansion with Kelly to check it out. First, we circled the mansion, but it looked terrible inside.

"...... A parade of futility, huh."

"Yes, there is too much oversized garbage. There are ornaments that are in poor taste, paintings that I don't understand the meaning of, and furniture that is too elaborate in design to be of any use. Even a fountain in one of the rooms."

"How much money has been spent? I'm not a big connoisseur of the value of things, but..."

I can tell you that this mansion has cost a stupid amount of money.

"Let's check out the garden."

"Yes, Lady Agnes."

We both went down to the garden this time. The man-made river seemed to flow around the mansion and drain into the pond outside. Hmmm, pointless.

The beautiful rose hedge was now covered with unkempt, proliferating thorns, making it inaccessible.

"Oh my, is there a field?"

"Yes, it does. Let's call it what used to be a field....... There are also sturdy-looking stables over there."

"It's very big. I wonder if they used to keep magical beasts in there?"

When we checked inside, we found the place was empty. Kelly and I looked at each other.

"Let's start with the inside of the mansion. First, we need to increase the number of rooms. Sell what we can, and increase the amount of money we can spend. Then we will hire servants and a gardener!"

Watch me, Lord Nazel.

I may have been forced into this marriage, but as your wife, I will manage the mansion with honor!

With my mind set on cleaning the mansion, Kelly and I immediately set to work cleaning the house.

But when she found the cleaning supplies, Kelly muttered a few words.

"By the way, Miss Agnes, have you ever cleaned the house before?"

"......... I haven't, but I'll manage somehow."

"As expected. Please don't overdo it."

I have never cleaned in the Marquisate of Evantail, but I have seen the maids cleaning.

I'll see what I can do, if I try I'll probably figure it out. ...... probably.
