The Male Lead’s Devoted Maid is Too Competent Episode 011
Aidan delivered very good news to me. My suggestions had been adopted. Moreover, based on the opinions I submitted, additional quarries would be put into operation, making a significant contribution to the Northern Territory’s economy.
It was quite fascinating and surprising.
Only then did it truly hit me that Christen was the lord who governed this vast Northern Territory. He was someone who could change many things with just a word.
And what made me happiest was.
‘If you have any suggestions in the future, please feel free to speak up anytime. And he asked if you could take on reviewing some of the proposals that will be coming up. Would that be possible for you?’
‘I’ll work hard to the best of my abilities!’
I had earned my employer’s trust. I thought that perhaps I had finally risen to the position of a full-time employee. I’d probably sleep like a baby tonight.

That Sunday.
Christen let out a small laugh. Since he was late again today reviewing documents, he had also stopped by the training ground. Thanks to releasing some magic power, both his body and mind felt light.
While he was taking his time like that, Roella had fallen asleep. In a very comfortable position.
Christen checked the time. It was already approaching 1 AM, so it wasn’t strange that Roella had fallen asleep waiting for him.
Especially for Roella, who always slept deeply wherever she was.
“Still, I never gave permission to sleep lying on the bed.”
She was sleeping at the edge of the bed, lying in a proper position. She might have climbed up unconsciously, or perhaps thought she’d just lie down for a moment. Whatever the case, having someone lying on his bed was a very unfamiliar situation for Christen.
He was sensitive about his sleeping arrangements and would often wake up from even the slightest movement of the bed.
It was partly due to the magic power his body contained, and also a habit formed from continuous combat. During camping, they often encountered nocturnal monsters.
“She surely would have been given instructions before starting work.”
There was no choice today. Christen sat in the chair where Roella always sat. The chair that had looked big on Roella was completely filled when he sat in it. It was natural since it was made to fit Roella’s body.
Christen leaned forward.
She slept surprisingly deeply. Christen poked Roella’s hand. No matter how much he had released at the training ground, he needed her for tomorrow.
“Mmph! Don’t, don’t bother me, you mos, mosquito!”
Roella waved her hand around. Christen let out a small chuckle. It was amusing how he had instantly gone from ‘Your Grace the Grand Duke whom I serve loyally’ to a mosquito.
Christen caught the hand that was still weakly flailing through the air. It was a small, soft hand that seemed like it would barely fill half his palm, just as he had felt before.
How did she accomplish so much work with these small hands?
Christen slowly interlaced their fingers. The fingers that clung limply to his hand reminded him of a previous day.
The day she had crouched under the bed with only her hand sticking out. When he saw just a small hand resting on top of his with no person in sight, how absurd it had been.
She was certainly a type of person he had never encountered anywhere else.
Christen slowly leaned his body against the bed. He lay down on the bed just as Roella had done.
He closed his eyes while listening to her steady breathing sounds. His body was gradually becoming comfortable. Now he barely even thought about the pain of the past.
Christen was slowly adapting to Roella.
Seeping in gradually, slowly.

Jayman looked up at the Grand Duke’s Castle with a slightly pale face. For the past five days, Jayman had diligently run around on foot, meeting field personnel and preparing documents.
He worked without weekends to keep the 5-day promise he had made with his own mouth. Thanks to this, he was able to bring the documents as soon as Monday arrived, but his accumulated fatigue couldn’t be hidden.
‘But this time it’s perfect!’
He had written it according to the capital’s standards. He had reviewed it for errors several times, so there couldn’t be any problems. Jayman confidently entered the Grand Duke’s Castle.
However, the words he heard when he went to find Aimon made him feel unpleasant.
“If you go to the office that the Head Butler uses, there will be Miss Roella who works together with him. Show the proposal to Miss Roella first and get her confirmation.”
“…Miss Roella?”
Did his documents not even qualify for the Grand Duke’s review? It was a devastating feeling. But whether he knew Jayman’s feelings or not, Aidan spoke lightly.
“His Highness the Grand Duke likes the documents that Miss Roella writes. You must have taken them and seen them too, but they’re certainly neat and concise. They’re easy to see at a glance, so time is saved.”
Jayman had seen them too. It was as Aidan said. Even Jayman, who was called the god of Document Organization, wasn’t at that level, so he didn’t know where this hidden master had appeared from.
Jayman gulped. Though he felt a strong sense of defeat, now was the time to step back.
If he showed the documents to Roella and got confirmation that they were perfect, then Aidan and the Grand Duke would acknowledge him again.
Though it was devastating, he couldn’t make the mistake of opposing the Grand Duke’s decision. Jayman bowed his head.
“Yes, I understand. I’ll learn a thing or two from Miss Roella.”
“Hahaha. It would be good if you help each other.”
Aidan nonchalantly patted Jayman’s shoulder with the face of a good-natured magnanimous person. When Jayman turned around, his face was coldly hardened.
He already knew who Miss Roella was from what he had heard.
‘Despite coming in as the Grand Duke’s mistress.’
Jayman burned with unnecessary anger.
Roella Chipple. There were rumors that she was the daughter that Baron Chipple had sold off. She was famous as a compatible person who was sold to save the Grand Duke’s life.
It was too common for those who came as compatible people to become the Grand Duke’s mistresses or bear illegitimate children. Probably Roella would surely follow the same path. And the Chipley Baronet House? He heard that they had become penniless and even their manor was mortgaged.
That father had disappeared after gambling with the money from selling his daughter.
Roella’s position was in a very ambiguous situation. What difference was there from the commoner maids? But to receive a review from such a woman!
His pride was hurt as if his abilities had been undervalued.
Of course, the Document Organization ability that Roella had shown was excellent, but apart from that, he was angry.
‘She’ll just warm the Grand Duke’s bed!’
Jayman’s thoughts became increasingly twisted. He clenched his fist tightly. Perhaps Roella had learned various things in exchange for warming the Grand Duke’s bed.
There was no way that Roella, who grew up in the Chipple family, could have such high-level abilities.
Jayman controlled his anger and knocked on the office door before entering. Only Roella was there. There was no way the Head Butler could be that young.
Jayman added one more evaluation about Roella.
‘She must have won the Grand Duke’s favor with her pretty appearance. As expected, with that kind of background, tsk.’
Today, in this place, he would firmly press down Roella’s nose and make her realize her place.
“Miss Roella?”
At Jayman’s call, Roella raised her head. The woman’s silver hair swayed gracefully. Her delicate face, clearly revealed, came into view. What was strange were her eyes. They seemed somehow out of focus…
There was no need to ruin his image within the grand duchy because of a woman like Roella.
