C 67
The
maid, having tried her luck, wiped her face impatiently several times,
then buried her face in her palm and took a deep breath.
"That is... something like that exists..."
"Something like what?"
"That, Duke Collin... People like Young Duke Etham... You know... Should I say there's a place?"
"A place?"
"So...
products like dolls, pictures, models of those people are manufactured
at a low cost... Simply... there are people who are passionate about
collecting things from the person they like..."
The maid sighed and took out a pendant locket. Inside the locket pendant was an image of Duke Collin.
He
was looking somewhere with slightly softened eyes, not the same sharp
look as usual, but with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
"This
is one of only 7 medallion pendants from His Excellency, Duke Michael
Collin's limited edition collection. There's a place that collects and
sells these things."
"...Do you like my father?"
Richard Collin looked at the maid in astonishment.
The maid shook her head embarrassedly.
She even hit her chest with both hands. She stomped her feet and bent down to meet Richard Collin's gaze.
"That's
not... it's not like that! Such a thing exists! Doesn't he like to
collect cool stuff too? Like that, Duke Collin is handsome, very
handsome, so... Let's say they make dolls that imitate them, or pictures
of these wonderful scenes, and share them with people who admire
them...?"
