Chapter 80

This is unreasonable.

Everyone is treating me like a fool.

No matter how much people torment me, I just take it, so now do they think of me as a punching bag?

‘I don’t want this anymore.’

I don’t want to live like a fool being pushed around anymore. I don’t want to suffer like this in the monastery anymore!

Fortunately, that afternoon, Miona came to visit the monastery.

“Miona. I feel so wronged.”

Alice sobbed with tears streaming down her face in Miona’s embrace.

“About what happened in Windsor Territory. That wasn’t my fault. Sister Dana pinned it all on me…”

“Of course that’s what happened! Oh, poor Alice.”

Miona hugged Alice. Alice whimpered while being comforted in her maid’s arms.

“Sister Dana is so scary…”

Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince.

Why did he allow me to go to the monastery?

He clearly said he missed me unbearably and brought me out of the monastery. Why did his heart change and send me back to the monastery again?

Only one thing happened in between!

‘He became strange after the day he went to the hunting grounds on horseback with Sister Dana.’

Thinking of that time made her anxious again, and Alice burst into tears.

What happened between sister and him in the forest?

What happened that made sister’s scent cling so deeply to his chest?

How can sister shake another woman’s man like that?

‘I hate it. I really hate it. I can’t just keep taking this forever.’

I can’t stay like this – only that thought became firm.

“Miona.”

So she could say what she had been thinking about without hesitation.

“Could you pretend to be me and stay at the monastery?”

“…What?”

“Pretend to be me and live at the monastery. Please? I really can’t go on like this.”

Was it an unexpected request? Miona’s lips froze.

“B-but Alice, that’s a bit…”

For a moment, Alice found Miona irritating.

Can’t she even grant this small favor?

As a friend? No – as my maid?

Besides, if it weren’t for me, she would have been thrown onto the streets and become a beggar, yet she dares not know gratitude and can’t even grant this favor?

“Alice, but. The priests will notice.”

“The priest in charge of me changes every day anyway… Besides, we can prepare a wig. Or dye your hair.”

“B-but still.”

“What if Sister Dana steals His Highness the Crown Prince while I’m away? Sob, Miona, please help me…”

Alice burst into loud tears.

In the end, Miona had no choice but to say:

“Ah, alright. I’ll pretend to be you.”

“Thank you, Miona!”

“Listen, in return, can you grant me just one favor?”

“Huh?”

“…Lord’s, just one piece of clothing…”

“Huh?”

“Ka-Karl Lord’s clothes… Bring me some. Anything. Something with his scent on it. Underwear would be even better. Please?”

Suddenly, goosebumps rose all over Alice’s back.

‘She must be crazy.’

Does she like my father?

It wasn’t that surprising. Since childhood, she had seen many women her age liking Karl, sending love letters or chasing after him.

She just didn’t expect Miona to be like that too.

‘That’s creepy. Why is she asking for underwear?’

Even if my father is young and handsome.

How can she make such a request?

She seems like a pervert. Disgusting. Revolting. She seems crazy.

But…

‘If I just bring her that, I can get out of the monastery, right?’

Alice hesitated for a moment but soon decided.

Right. What’s the big deal about bringing one piece of clothing? Father has plenty of clothes anyway!

‘Miona’s love can never be fulfilled anyway.’

If bringing one piece of clothing can comfort her, that wouldn’t be bad either.

Since I can console Miona’s unrequited love, wouldn’t this ultimately be doing something good and merciful?

“Alright. I’ll do that.”

“Kyaa! Thank you, Alice!”

Doing good deeds for a friend – that’s what true friendship is!

The next day, Viego Windsor returned from his business trip.

At the first retainer meeting hall after his return, Ignis Windsor barged in.

“I didn’t know Windsor’s dignity had fallen this low.”

He arbitrarily took a chair and put both legs up on the table. Then he bit into an apple with a crunch and laughed vulgarly.

“I heard that Danae Windsor comes and goes from retainer meetings, and it was actually true. Even if she’s direct lineage, isn’t it a bit much for a woman to enter the conference room?”

His attitude was utterly low-class and degenerate. Dana responded calmly.

“I didn’t attend as direct lineage. I attended as a member of this meeting.”

Then Viscount Manus quickly interjected from the side.

“That’s right. Miss Danae has even received a separate office from the head of the family, Lord Ignis.”

Then Ignis’s eyebrows furrowed. Viscount Manus resolutely began a long speech.

“Speaking of the miss’s recent achievements, she protected the Windsor family’s credit by providing compensation for the moonlight flower crash, made Ritten Bank accept Windsor checks again in just two days after they had refused them, not only executed those who committed insubordination in Windsor Territory but also quickly found corrupted land in its incubation period, preventing a situation that could have spread into a greater disaster and raising the Windsor family’s prestige among the territory residents—”

“Shut up, Viscount Manus. You’re talking about things I’m not even curious about.”

Ignis picked his ear and chuckled.

“To my ears, it sounds like you’re all incompetent. How incompetent must you be to let a woman do such things?”

Viscount Manus’s lips trembled. He seemed to be holding back his desire to criticize, asking how dare a good-for-nothing who abandoned the family say such things.

“The head of the family is entering!”

Then Viego Windsor entered the meeting hall.

Perhaps he had been struggling with intense work until this hour, as he remained in his perfectly neat suit without a single hair out of place.

The moment he sat in the head seat.

“Head of the family. May I make a suggestion before the meeting starts?”

Ignis immediately raised his hand.

“There’s something I’d like the retainers to discuss among themselves.”

Crazy bastard.

Honest impressions like “crazy bastard,” “lunatic,” “nutcase,” and so on appeared in all the retainers’ eyes.

However, no one was surprised.

This rampage had been anticipated from the moment they heard that Ignis de Windsor, the Windsor family’s good-for-nothing, had returned.

“Get down.”

At that moment, Viego quietly gave an instruction.

“Those legs, get them off the desk.”
