Chapter 338
Chapter 338
When I arrived at the office, my father urged me to sit down on the sofa.
Diana did not sit down, but stayed by my side.
Soon after, Father called out to Carlo, the butler who had come with me.
"Carlo, I'm sorry, but I need you to make us some tea."
"Yes, of course."
He answered with a nod and left the office to prepare the tea.
Then Father sat down on the sofa in front of him across the desk.
Now, Rid . What is this urgent matter you wish to discuss? "
Yes, . I think it will take a while, so may I talk to you after Carlo has brought the tea?"
Unfortunately, it is not something that can be discussed with the butler.
I answered with that intention, and the father nodded his head in understanding.
'Hmm. ...... may I?"
Thank you very much. That being said, what did you discuss with the Duke of Barnes, father?
'Hmm, me? Yes. ......."
In response to my question, my father put his hand over his mouth as if he was thinking back.
From the looks of Valerie and the others, I don't think she told the Duke and Duchess , but I feel like I asked just in case.
Eventually, Father began to speak as he recalled.
'...... Torenia, Barnes' wife, told me passionately that she wanted me to somehow fuse the cosmetics and rinses that we deal in at the Christie Trading Company. As for the rest, I heard a lot of bragging about the children from Burns. ......What does that matter?"
No. ......By the way, what did the bragging about the kids involve?"
The father looked at me suspiciously as my questions continued, but I guessed he knew what I was trying to say, so he continued.
'Hmmm. First of all, he said that his son Latiga has become more attentive to his younger sister. I also heard that he is more conscious of his swordsmanship and studies than before. He also said that his daughter Valerie has matured tremendously. She used to throw a tantrum whenever she had a bad day, but she has calmed down like an adult. Well, she does have her occasional outbursts."
As I was saying "I see," there was a knock at the door and Carlo, the butler, came in to make us a cup of tea.
Carlo offered us a cup of tea and was about to leave the room, saying, "Well, if there is anything else you need, please call me."
"Carlo. No one is to be allowed in the office until Rid and I have finished our conversation."
He bowed to Father and left the room.
Shortly thereafter, he looked me in the eye.
Now we can talk without any worries, I'm going to ask you ...... what happened when you went to the other room with Valerie and the others."
Thank you for your concern, Father. Then I will tell you in a straightforward way".
"Mm. ......."
My father is bringing a cup of tea to his mouth while he is giving a sigh of relief.
In the midst of all this, I began to speak without hesitation.
The truth is, the Duke of Burns' daughter, 'Valerie Elasenyse', she seems to have 'memories of a previous life' just like me.
...... goho-goho� What the heck is ......?
Perhaps it was an unexpected subject, my father looked shocked as he sipped his tea and choked on his tea.
But I continued on with my story.
"I have been told that she is also experiencing a pseudo-experience of this life in her "memories of a previous life," and that she would like to cooperate with me in the future.'
As I was talking in an indifferent manner, my father held up his hands to me as if asking me to stop.
"Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Explain in a little more details. How did you know that the Barnes daughter had "memories of a previous life" just like you?"
She herself confided to me. Also, I am ashamed to admit that I myself have 'memories of a previous life."
"Umm, you mean she revealed ...... to you? No, more importantly, what do you mean you have been revealed?
Father was again astonished at what I had told him.
I explained to him with a wry smile, "Ah ha ......," and told him what had happened.
It all started when Valerie told her brother, Latiga, a story about her pseudo-experience of this world through her "memories of a previous life" as a " Fluttering Cinderella!
The purpose of the story was to find out who in the Bardia family, who had developed the lotion, had memories of a previous life, as Valerie was convinced that there were people with memories of a previous life in the family.
I then told him that I had fallen right into the scheme, and explained that Valerie herself had confided in me at that time.
Father seemed to be taken aback by my story and let out a deep sigh, "huh ......," and shook his head lightly with his hand on his forehead.
Diana, who had been watching him, suddenly joined in the conversation.
"I'm sorry, Rainer-sama. I was there, too, and I saw no indication that Valerie was lying. Everything Master Rid has said is true."
The father wrinkles his brow and takes a deep breath in response to Deanna's voice.
Shortly thereafter, he turned his gaze toward us.
Then, does Burns know that Valerie has 'memories of a previous life'?
'No, it seems not. Only her brother, Latiga, seems to know that Valerie has "memories of a previous life. He was skeptical about it until today.'
When my father heard my answer, he wrinkled his brow and meditated with a grim expression on his face.
He was probably thinking about a lot of things.
Soon after, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Thank you, I'm not getting the gist of this. ...... Rid, I'm sorry, but could you please explain everything again, starting from the beginning, without breaking it up?"
"Yes, Father."
After that, I explained about Valerie and Latiga, starting from the fact that they had come here with a purpose from the very beginning, and the strategy they had used.
I started explaining in detail about the memory of the previous life and the future cooperation structure that they are demanding.
