Chapter 208
“What. That was the problem? Hey, Tulia Frazier.”
Klaus laughed.
As always, he was smiling like a boy, but that was all.
Since I knew well the concentration of bitterness I was feeling right now, I could guess what kind of mood Klaus was showing me his smile with.
“I understand. You’re the most important person in my life, so as you said, I can’t propose with just the status of a prince.”
“….”
“So just wait 3 months for me. I’ll return with the status of Crown Prince. Just until then.”
“….”
“Well, since I’m returning to my kingdom after a long time, I should bring various good things too. You like necklaces, don’t you? I’ll scrape up every single jewel there is and propose properly so you’ll at least look at me properly.”
“….”
“Why do you have that expression again like you’re angry and going to smash everything? Please, just don’t touch my bedroom. I’m a guest after all, so I do have some conscience.”
“….”
“Hey, right. That kind of response suits you better. You know? You’re such a precious person, of course you should be like that. I was thinking too hastily. So please don’t look at me like that….”
Klaus playfully scolded me for making an expression like I was ‘going to smash everything,’ but the eyes I was looking at were endlessly and hopelessly disheveled.
Summer plains, blue night sky. The blowing wind, shining stars and moon and sun, the trickling stream.
Klaus Rosevar was a man who seemed like he would reign as king of such eternally free things.
That’s why the moment I saw him bound by some unpleasant emotion, I became a little angrier at the situation I was in, wanted to smash the Quest window, and felt deadly sorry for Klaus.
So I always had different feelings from the Quest window.
‘This is enough hurt I’ve caused…. Even apologizing profusely later wouldn’t be enough.’
But….
How should I apologize?
Accept his proposal?
Promise to become his queen?
‘But.’
I kept feeling anew that this system window, this damn bastard, was not to be taken lightly.
The condition the Inevitable Quest set was to cause serious harm to all the Male Leads.
And coincidentally, all the Male Leads except Leon and Lisian, the twins, had directly or indirectly proposed to me.
‘So it means to reject all proposals.’
It wasn’t even a good rejection.
Making me reject like this.
Then what comes next?
How do I apologize?
I can’t accept everyone’s proposals, can I?
Just as I was thinking my head would split and checking the system window.
‘Huh?’
I froze like stone.
[System] Cause serious harm to Male Lead ‘Klaus’ (Incomplete)
‘What?’
The Quest isn’t completed yet?
As if answering my question, the system window brilliantly lit up once more.
[System] Guide Content 3
-Klaus. Were you mistaken thinking I had even the slightest feelings for you?
Getting stabbed by a knife would probably hurt less.
This is too….
“Klaus. Was I even slightly….”
Son of a bitch.
“Were you mistaken thinking I had feelings for you?”
This evil son of a bitch.
Klaus’s hands stopped right there. He slowly raised his kneeling knee. Even so, his gaze was fixed on me.
[System] Emergency situation!
[System] Despite completing all guides, the Quest continues in incomplete state!
[System] Special guide added to complete the Quest!
[System] ☆Special Guide Content☆
-I’ve never thought of you as anything other than a dog, you know?
‘This… look at this damn son of a bitch.’
What?
Say such words?
To Klaus?
Me? Why?
I was so angry at the system. I even felt like just letting whatever happens happen.
Why do I have to say abusive words I don’t want to say to Klaus who did nothing wrong?
Does apologizing after saying such things make it go away?
Klaus has been good to me all this time….
I eventually bit my teeth hard.
Fine, just pretend you didn’t hear anything I said.
I was about to say that I was just crazy and spouting nonsense, so just forget it.
[System] Special Limited Benefit Quest in progress!
[System] You cannot say words that deviate from the guide!
‘You son of a bitch!’
It wouldn’t budge as if my mouth was cast with plaster.
I eventually moved, and moved, and after pulling out thousands of sentences in my head, I could barely spit out one word.
“Did you think I’d mortgage my life to you now that I saved you?”
“….”
“If it weren’t for that groundless vow in the first place, you would have killed me suspecting me of being a Fanatic, so what right do you have to propose to me….”
“….”
“Get lost. Don’t annoy me.”
[System] You have completed the Quest!

That night.
Frazier Grand Duke Main Building.
Tulia, the only young lady of this castle, had as many as 12 personal maids.
Considering that the number of personal maids that young ladies of great families commonly had was about 6, this was twice as many.
Of course, high-ranking nobles of Marquis rank and above had large territories and trading companies passed down through generations. Naturally, their internal budgets were also abundant. Duke families and above went without saying.
However, the reason they didn’t infinitely increase the number of servants attending to the direct family members was purely due to security and loyalty concerns.
The direct servants who had to attend to their master’s bathing or clothing needed to have loyalty as high as the family’s knights.
Since they always lived in close proximity to their master, if a direct servant harbored ill intentions, the probability of harming their master would increase exponentially.
After considering these realistic problems and concerns, the Briyang Empire, which held the highest prestige on the Spring Continent, generally set the number of direct servants for high-ranking nobles at around 5-6 people.
Tulia, who had as many as 12 direct maids under her command, was essentially living a lifestyle equivalent to that of an Imperial Princess.
This was naturally supported by the full financial backing of Assis, the head of the Grand Duke Frazier House, and Marquis Aster, Tulia’s doting father, but above all, it was largely due to the abilities of Head Maid Adel.
Head Maid Adel, who was secretly rumored to be the hidden younger sibling of Ruk Kelfosher, Grand Duke Aster Frazier’s direct advisor, managed that enormous castle flawlessly while also attending to her master Tulia without a single shortcoming.
Adel had a dignified and taciturn personality, and above all, she was meticulous. She paid particular attention to Tulia’s safety.
Under Head Maid Adel’s command, the 12 direct maids took turns in shifts to attend to Tulia.
As the direct maids of the Grand Ducal House’s young lady, they were all exceptional talents worthy of recognition.
Their greatest strengths were being quiet, diligent, and tight-lipped.
However, no matter how silently they worked like iron, it couldn’t be overlooked that the direct maids were also girls around Tulia’s age.
Above all, the higher the rank of a noble family’s servants, the more they focused on their master’s every move.
This was the same even for imperial servants who had undergone the strictest training and education, so it wasn’t much different for a Grand Ducal House.
And so today, two maids who had just finished attending to Tulia’s bath came out with dark expressions as they looked around their surroundings.
On the south side of the main building’s second floor, which Tulia used exclusively, there were a total of 17 rooms for different purposes, all belonging to Tulia.
Except during evening dinner time, the south side of this main building was generally very quiet.
After confirming that no one was passing by, the two maids quietly engaged in a secret conversation.
“You know what. Hasn’t the young lady… suddenly become too strange?”
At the brown-haired maid’s cautious question, the rose-cheeked maid gently nodded her head.
“That’s right, it’s strange. She’s become incredibly kind…”
Her voice, which was already as small as a needle dropping, became even smaller.
“She suddenly became extremely humble, and she’s strangely anxious about every single word we say…”
“…Right? It’s not just me who felt it, right?”
“Yeah…”
Originally, Tulia was an impeccably cheerful young lady, except for the occasional unexpected screaming alone in her bedroom at night.
Sometimes when she met people she didn’t like, she would glare at them fiercely as if she would devour them, but her previous wickedness and trembling from hunger were now almost nowhere to be found.
While she wasn’t arrogant or haughty toward the maids, she had never once acted humbly or subserviently…
Today’s Tulia was far too strange.
“Even when she asked me for hair oil earlier, no, asking itself is strange. Why would the young lady ask me for something? She should be giving orders…”
“Even her hands and voice were trembling slightly. At first I was startled thinking I had put in cold water, so I dipped my hand in the bathtub to check. But that wasn’t it…”
In fact, the most serious issue was something else entirely.
The rose-cheeked maid and the brown-haired maid simultaneously exchanged meaningful glances.
“…You saw the young lady’s body too, right?”
“I saw it…”
“Those bruise marks… what on earth are they?”
“Who on earth left such terrible marks on our young lady’s body?”
