Bab 34: Inspect

[In the Duke's mansion— four PM]

Mireille

I followed the Duke and Sebastian into the unsought familiar study of the Duke. I recollect the last time I was here, during the hearing of the poison 'Nerium Oleander'. Memories flowed by me, memories of how Ella died and how I reacted and broke down in front of those four people.

Now, I stood stiff in the study, under the presence of Captain Raizel, midget, Sebastian and lastly, the Duke.

Captain was in his knight uniform, with his heavy cape. His remarkable sword sat comfortably in his báldric. He was sitting on the baroque couch with his legs crossed, with a grumpy look.

He didn't seem to mind sitting with such disrespect while the Duke was still standing near his prominent desk. Not like there isn't any other seat, but it seems so that the Duke's preference is standing.
