Bab 177: Calm before the storm

Benson has been the butler overseeing Elrod residence residing in the capital. Apart from the Grand duke and late grand duchess, the lady from the Grand-ducal couple had never been to the residence until now.

Having heard many rumors about the latter, it was no surprise that benson was very curious about the lady or should he say the former duchess hayes.

''You've done a good job, benson.'' 

''Thank you, my lady.'' Benson accepted her praise with pride. Of course, he had done well in managing the whole residence and he knew that. 

''Oh? I thought you are modest person, Benson?'' isla asked with her eyes staring deeply at the butler by her side. Accepting her praise instead of being humble about it....If it were other madams, a butler managing a residence on their behalf was very humiliating. This was an indication that they don't have the ability to perform their duties as the madam of a household.
