Yoanna had disliked Ordel from the very beginning.

Ordel, who became the Count’s adopted daughter thanks to awakening as the Holy Maiden, was supposedly from a branch family, but was so distant from the direct line that she was practically no different from a commoner.

It was already infuriating that some commoner, rather than herself who was the noble Count’s daughter, had been chosen as the Holy Maiden, but Ordel didn’t suit the title of Holy Maiden at all, which made her even more displeasing.

Her behavior showed her lack of proper upbringing, her greedy nature that coveted only expensive things, and even her arrogant attitude of acting high and mighty as if she had truly become part of the Count’s family.

However, since she couldn’t mistreat the daughter of God, she could only swallow her sighs until one day.

Father gathered the family and said:

‘That thing is a tool. A tool for our family’s advancement. So there’s no need to treat it as family. Make sure to educate it well so it doesn’t overstep its bounds.’

How delighted she was by father’s words that there was no need to treat her as a Holy Maiden.

That’s when it began.

The whole family started ignoring Ordel and trampling on her so she wouldn’t dare climb up.

Ordel’s quarters, which had been in a fairly clean guest room, were immediately moved to a dirty attic room with Sara’s tacit approval.

And just as father said, to prevent the tool from having foolish thoughts, not only the family but also the Count’s employees kept watch together.

Everyone worked hard to ensure Ordel wouldn’t forget her proper place, but…

She dares to ignore us just because she has the Duke backing her?

She even takes over my room?

It was absolutely unforgivable.

Yoanna immediately ran up to the room.

The maids who had been pacing in front of the corridor recognized her and rushed over immediately.

“Oh, Miss! What is the meaning of this? Why is that thing…!”

“Where is the Duke?”

“He just left.”

Really? So the Duke isn’t here?

Then there’s nothing to worry about. She just needs to keep her mouth shut in front of the Duke.

Yoanna immediately flung the door open.

“Ha, living the good life, aren’t you?”

Ordel was sprawled lazily on the very expensive sofa that she had begged and pleaded with father to finally buy.

A sofa that no one was allowed to touch except when cleaning!

“Get up right now!”

There was a Holy Knight beside Ordel, but Yoanna didn’t care and shouted.

After all, weren’t they just people dependent on the few coins father gave them?

In Yoanna’s view, the people from the Temple of the Sun God were no different from parasites clinging to the Count’s family.

“Why did you come?”

But instead of getting up immediately, Ordel just wiggled her toes.

Yoanna was dumbfounded by that arrogant behavior.

“What? What did you say?”

“Didn’t you hear that this is my room for the time being? If you want to come in from now on, get my permission first.”

What, what did she just say?

Usually, she would have grumbled with a hurt expression but ultimately followed orders without being able to say anything…

“By the way, since I took your room, what will you do? Oh, right. Want to go to the attic room I used? I’ll gladly give it to you if you want.”

The attic room…? That dirty, filthy, rat-gnawed room that only suits lowly things like Ordel, she’s telling me, the noble Count’s daughter, to use?

“I’m generous, so I’ll make that much of a concession.”

“Have you completely lost your mind?”

“I’m perfectly sane.”

Ordel fiddled with her fingernails and then blew on them as if dusting them off.

Yoanna was properly enraged by the attitude of completely ignoring her.

“You really have gone crazy. You seem to have gotten cocky just because the Duke favors you a little…”

“What’s strange about getting cocky?”

Ordel looked straight at Yoanna and smiled brightly.

Yoanna felt a chill in her chest.

Had that thing ever looked at her like that before?

She always looked at her with envious, jealous eyes, and gazed at her with eyes that couldn’t give up hope that she too might someday receive the Count’s love…

But now there wasn’t a trace of jealousy or envy in her eyes.

Rather, how should she put it…

“When the Duke cherishes me this much, what could I possibly lack?”

She was looking down on her with confident, proud eyes that saw no reason to be intimidated.

‘…Ordel is looking down on me?’

That Ordel? The one who always had to look up at me from a lower position than mine?

For Yoanna, who had been satisfying her base desires by crushing, trampling, and ignoring the Holy Maiden who was supposedly God’s daughter, Ordel’s current behavior was absolutely unacceptable.

“This won’t do. It seems some education is needed after a long time.”

Just like those times when she trampled Ordel down again whenever she tried to climb up even a little, it was the moment Yoanna tried to grab her hair.

“Stand back.”

The Holy Knight, who had been standing still like some decoration, stepped forward for the first time.

Yoanna glared at him.

“How dare you block my way? Get out of the way right now!”

“I told you to stand back.”

However, far from backing down, the Holy Knight went further and gripped his sword hilt.

As if he would draw his sword if warned again.

How insolent!

Then, the maids who had been watching through the open door immediately rushed in and protected Yoanna.

“Good heavens! Trying to draw a sword in front of a noble lady! How vulgar!”

“How can someone called a Holy Knight be so rude!”

“He’s not even some back-alley thug!”

Despite the shouting from all sides, the Holy Knight didn’t even blink.

“Whoever the opponent may be, I will never forgive anyone who tries to threaten the Holy Maiden.”

No matter how much they screamed, a maid was still a maid.

The maids turned pale as if they had never shouted, overwhelmed by the intense aura the Holy Knight emanated.

Those who had hesitantly backed away looked at Yoanna with frightened faces.

Yoanna was equally overwhelmed by his presence.

She bit her lip and glanced at Ordel, but Ordel had no intention of stopping it and was just quietly watching.

With calm eyes she had never seen before.

What is this? They were definitely unpleasantly yellow eyes… Why do they look golden today?

Were Ordel’s eyes always like that?

Somehow unsettling yet pretty…

‘Ha, what am I thinking right now!’

To think of someone like Ordel as pretty!

It was the moment when Yoanna, who had shaken her head vigorously, was about to shout for her own guard knights to be called immediately.

“Excuse me.”

A calm voice that didn’t suit this situation at all echoed through the room.

Everyone’s heads turned sharply.

A woman with calm beige-toned hair entered the room.

“It’s my first time meeting you, Holy Maiden. I am Karen Boreo. Duke Siri sent me.”

At the woman’s introduction, Yoanna’s eyes widened.

Bo, Boreo… surely that’s…

“I heard that the Holy Maiden has no maid to attend to her. I will serve you during your stay at the Count’s mansion.”

“My goodness. Thank you to the thoughtful Duke. Welcome, Miss Boreo.”

“Please feel free to call me Karen. I will assist the Holy Maiden with all my heart.”

Yoanna’s face trembled at the harmonious atmosphere between the two.

But she couldn’t throw a tantrum like before.

Because Karen Boreo was a noble!

“But there seems to be a bit of commotion…”

Karen Boreo’s sharp gaze flew toward Yoanna.

Yoanna flinched and trembled.

“It’s alright, Miss Karen. This place was originally Yoanna’s room. It seems she came to get her things.”

Then Ordel spoke with a voice filled with laughter. At first glance it seemed like she was taking her side, but it was completely the opposite.

Right now, she was openly mocking her.

Yoanna felt extreme humiliation.

“I see. Then please take them quickly. The Holy Maiden needs to rest.”

This was her room, yet Karen was the one issuing the order to leave.

However, Yoanna could only bite her lips and say nothing.

Boreo wasn’t just any noble family, but a vassal house of the great House of Sieri!

She wasn’t someone that could be treated carelessly just because she was from a count’s family.

“…You! Bring my dresses!”

In the end, Yoanna had no choice but to irritably give orders to her maid before storming out of the room.

Following behind her, the harmonious conversation between Ordel and Karen could be heard.

It sounded like mockery, making Yoanna’s face turn bright red with anger.

* * *

She’s going to explode at this rate.

I clicked my tongue at the sight of Yoanna rushing out of the room.

She came to grab someone by the hair but got kicked out without even breaking even – how embarrassing that must be.

But she shouldn’t be acting like this over just this much already.

I have more than just one or two things to pay back on behalf of ‘Ordel’ who suffered because of you people.
