Chapter 11

After pretending to think for a moment with a hmm, I easily spat out my answer.

“Since Aunt manages the internal affairs, please do as you wish, Aunt.”

“…Is that so?”

Well, of course, this answer wasn’t what Aubrey wanted to hear. I could clearly see her eyes blazing with intent to damage my image no matter what I said.

“However, not in my room. It’s a precious room that Grandfather gave me, and I don’t want to see such violent scenes here. Aunt.”

At least it was obvious that there was nothing wrong with these words. Aubrey’s eyes trembled slightly.

But she was definitely a noble lady. She immediately composed her expression and shouted in a sharp voice.

“Take these insolent things to the Disciplinary Basement!”

“Yes, Madam!”

“Baroness! Please spare us!”

“Miss Tulia! We, we were wrong! Please help us!”

The voices ringing in my ears quickly faded away. Meanwhile, watching Aubrey’s elderly maids skillfully gag them, I had a feeling they were quite accustomed to this kind of thing.

“Now, Tulia. Those wicked things were surely sent to serve you, but to think they were doing such things….”

Aubrey dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief and spoke affectionately.

“You don’t know how much this aunt’s heart ached. So this time, I personally brought you a Head Maid.”

When Aubrey clapped twice, two maids immediately bowed their heads neatly from behind.

“Choose one of the two as your Head Maid. This aunt deliberately selected candidates to make it easy for you to choose.”

The latter part was clearly meant for Ruk Kelfosher to hear.

She’s pretending to care about me.

When I shifted my gaze, the two maids greeted me in unison.

“I am Rilda, Miss.”

“I am Adel. Miss.”

One looked to be in her early to mid-thirties, the other in her late thirties.

Aubrey pointed to the younger maid and introduced her first.

“Rilda’s father once received a hereditary noble title, in other words, she’s a child with noble blood flowing through her veins.”

If it had been the old Tulia, she would have immediately chosen Rilda upon hearing those words.

A maid with noble blood was such a precious and high-demand talent.

This was because there was a widespread trend in High Society that having a maid of noble lineage as your servant would elevate your own dignity.

‘But the fact that Aubrey showed such generosity means she’s obviously one of Aubrey’s most trusted servants.’

When I didn’t immediately choose Rilda and looked at Adel instead, Aubrey’s wax-like smile slightly distorted.

But that was only for a moment.

Aubrey placed her hand on my shoulder and smiled affectionately.

“Yes, Tulia. Adel does seem to have a gentle personality, doesn’t she? She’s actually gentle, and quick with her hands too. I can hardly believe she’s from the ‘Borderlands.'”

From the Borderlands.

There was no change in Adel’s expression as she bowed her head modestly. But in the eyes of Rilda standing right next to her, a clear hint of mockery faintly passed by.

The Borderlands.

It was an element that appeared as quite an important land in .

The abandoned land located at the easternmost part of the vast Empire.

This Borderlands had another name as well.

It was called ‘the land abandoned by God, the land where no temples are built.’

It was merely overgrown with vegetation, and above all, rumors circulated that it was teeming with heretics and cannibals.

‘Though there aren’t actually any cannibals.’

Anyway, if you were from the Borderlands, even if you were a noble, you couldn’t easily appear in the Imperial Capital’s High Society, let alone commoners or lowborn people.

It was like a kind of slum.

The Borderlands were famous for being rough terrain.

But it was also difficult for people living in the Borderlands to come to other regions.

Because the setting was that it was hard to find work due to harsh stares.

In other words, Adel had such exceptional abilities that she broke through such prejudice to enter this Grand Ducal House as a maid.

‘Right now, anyone can see they brought Adel for comparison to make me choose Rilda.’

Anyway, she’s standing as a candidate for Head Maid to a Marquis House young lady.

‘This is quite a dilemma.’

I wanted to just choose Adel, but Tulia’s reputation was like a lifeline to me, so the decision wasn’t easy.

‘At least the other stats show grades.’

Unlike personality, wealth, and beauty, ‘reputation’ didn’t even show grades.

Yet, if it fell below a certain level, warning windows would suddenly pop up.

‘It was “Your reputation is falling to dangerous levels.”‘

If you saw that warning and still failed to properly manage your reputation, you’d get a bad ending even in the game .

Since I’m Tulia Frazier now, I should choose everything more carefully.

‘Hmm.’

An arrogant Head Maid with noble blood flowing through her veins?

Or a modest Head Maid from the Borderlands?

While I was pondering, suddenly the ‘Status Window’ moved with a boing sound above Adel’s head.

‘What? Why is that thing acting up?’

I didn’t do any operation?

I was inwardly flustered but touched the Status Window with my eyes.

Immediately after, my eyes widened greatly.

[System: Profile]

Adel ???(40 years old)

-From the Borderlands.

-Entered Grand Duke Frazier House as a maid at age 20, showing excellent work performance.

-The secret she’s hiding is…(More)

‘What? More?’

More? Did I see that wrong?

More?

I was so dumbfounded that I wanted to open my mouth and just blink in confusion.

Well, I wanted to, but everyone’s attention was focused on me, so I quickly pretended to be composed.

‘L-let me try clicking it.’

I tried clicking ‘More’ with my eyes.

With an effect like spraying light mist, a proper profile finally appeared.

[System: Profile]

Adel Kelposher(40 years old)

-From the Borderlands.

-Entered Grand Duke Frazier House as a maid at age 20, showing excellent work performance.

-The secret she’s hiding is that she’s the ‘hidden younger sister’ of Ruk Kelfosher, chief Advisor to Assis Grand Duke Frazier.

(☆Tip: Ruk Kelfosher feels great guilt toward Adel Kelposher)

‘What?’

Wait, Adel Kelposher and Ruk Kelfosher have quite an age difference, so is the setting of hidden younger sister possible?

‘…No, well, it’s possible.’

I also had Older Brothers with about a ten-year age difference when I was Han Ina.

Though they were absolute bastards and I didn’t even want to call them brothers.

Adel and Ruk seemed to have a slightly larger age gap than that… But that wasn’t what was important right now.

I was now lost in other thoughts.

No, it was closer to ecstasy.

(☆Tip: Ruk Kelfosher harbors great guilt toward Adel Kelfosher)

If this tip was true.

‘This is totally like hitting the lottery!’

I tried to swallow the laughter that was about to burst out.

Instead, I put on a contemplative expression and solemn-looking eyes.

“Aunt Aubrey.”

“Yes, Tulia. As I thought, Rilda would be better, right? Considering your dignity, someone with noble blood flowing through their veins should be the head maid…”

“No, no.”

“No… you say?”

“Yes.”

I smiled very brightly. It was a smile that came from the bottom of my heart.

“I will make Adel the head maid.”
