The house would be bigger than expected
“The positioning of the kitchen, bathing room and drawing room seem similar to this house?”
I had not seen the floor plans for this house, but after spending a while here, I had a good grasp of where everything was.
“That is so it will be easier for Lady Claire and you when moving. It might be confusing for you all if things are too different.”
“The main house is also like that. Though, it is much larger, so getting around can be tiring. I hear that so nobles have rearranged everything, for a change of scenery…”
“It must be difficult for the servants to learn everything again. Nobles who do such things often end up getting lost in their own houses.”
“How embarrassing…”
“Yes, so the layout being similar is fine… But isn’t it too large?”
“Do you think so? But it is much smaller than this house…”
“Yes, Sebastian. While there will be more people who are hired, it won’t be as much as this house. So this should be just right.”
“It’s true that it’s smaller than this house, but…”
There were no actual asurents, but I could get an idea of the size based on the kitchen.
Also, two floors was one thing, but there was a third, fourth and fifth as well.
I knew that it would be rather large, but not this large…
Surely this was too much?
“Yes, it is not that big. It will not take that much ti to build…”
“No, it’s not about ti…”
Hmm… I definitely felt like there was a difference in our ways of thinking. I was a commoner and she was a noble.
Why did we need that many rooms?
“Couldn’t it be three or two stories instead?”
“…It could… But then the building would be considerably smaller.”
“It isn’t a house that is supposed to be impressive or show authority. It can be small. It just needs to be comfortable enough for Leo.”
Previously, I had spoken of this with Mr. Ekenhart, and thought that the matter had been resolved. And yet here we were again.
Well, it wasn’t a waste, as back then, the house was to be even bigger. If left alone, they would have built a gigantic building.
“Hmmm… Aside from your rooms, there will be rooms for the servants…”
“Uhh… I do want everyone to be able to live comfortably. Surely there are other places that can be smaller?”
“Not the dining hall or drawing room…”
As for my own room, I just needed enough space for a bed and desk.
Well, there had to be space if Leo and Liza would spend ti there. But my current room already seed quite large, even with Leo inside of it.
“But as the master of the house, for Mr. Takumi to have a smaller room…”
Though I tried to persuade him, Sebastian then began to explain with a serious expression.
He usually looked so amused when he did it, so it must be important for him to be acting like this.
Even Claire looked serious. So I decided to listen carefully.
