The Male Lead’s Devoted Maid is Too Competent Episode 015
“Just quietly do your embroidery and prepare for marriage! How dare you crawl out and meddle in men’s affairs! Is this how your father taught you? That’s what happens to such families! Your Grace, you mustn’t be swayed by what such a woman says. I’ll send you a capable boy…”
“Hmm… You must be Count Sroil.”
“That’s right! You and I are of completely different status from the start. Do you understand now? Hah, there’s nothing more to say, Your Grace. This time my nephew has returned home after graduating from the Academy with excellent grades. Please use that boy. He listens well and is quick, so he’ll do fine. That thing is only suitable for the bedroom.”
I actually stopped Aidan and Jayman from trying to restrain him.
What kind of blow would that be? Tsk, I’d never lost in verbal combat anywhere. Even under that terrible supervisor, my colleagues cheered so much when they saw me barely managing to give my supervisor grief.
House of Count Sroil, huh.
Did he think I only organized three years of ledgers? To make a proper report, you need to know who spent the money, how it was managed, and how money was embezzled. It was only natural for my arguments to gain strength.
“Count, you’ve been interfering with the food supply companies for the past two years.”
“What are you saying! Your Grace, throw that woman out! What business does a woman have doing such things, really!”
“I heard that instead of entrusting work to the Count’s wife’s family, you doubled the prices. I went directly to the head chef to confirm this, Your Grace. Certainly the prices doubled, but I heard the quality of goods declined. So when I met the supplier and asked, they said they had connections with the Count’s house.”
“What, what!! How dare you frame someone with false accusations! Those were definitely premium goods! Are you just going to watch a woman who knows nothing babble on, Your Grace!”
“Oh my. It seems the Count was probably deceived by his in-laws, Your Grace. Otherwise, how could the Count know nothing like this? Even I could see that rotten ingredients were mixed in. But you need to control those in-laws of yours. I mean, really, Count. Those suppliers were going around selling your name, you know?”
The reason I knew this but didn’t bother making an issue of it was because it wasn’t my job.
If I just made the documents, they’d handle the sword dance themselves, so why should I? No need to get involved in troublesome matters. But if you touch me, that’s a different story.
Besides, this was a stage that Christen had set up for me. Why else would he bring me here? Hehe, he’s telling me to display my abilities to my heart’s content.
Even if I hate troublesome things, getting recognition for my abilities is always important!
“The head chef said this. Do you know who I am? He bragged loudly that he was Count Sroil’s brother-in-law and made it so no one could say anything. Poor Count Sroil. You were completely blindsided without knowing anything. And you keep saying ‘woman, woman,’ but Count Sroil, by now it’s time for you to step down. Your age… Oh my! This is why you get deceived!”
At my words that completely shattered the respect for elders, Count Sroil became speechless and trembled. You have to act like an adult to be treated like one.
“Oh my, how pitiful.”
I made a tear shape with my finger to mock him. Count Sroil grabbed the back of his neck. So why touch people when you’ve done shady things?
This type of human needs to be completely crushed.
The nobles who saw Count Sroil getting beaten coughed awkwardly and turned their heads. They were all dusty. They wouldn’t want to be embarrassed like Count Sroil.
As I shrugged my shoulders, I saw Grand Duke Christen looking at me with a pleased expression.
When your boss has your back, what is there to fear?
Aidan and Jayman were looking at me with surprised faces. After that, no one picked fights with me during the meeting.
Rather, right after the meeting ended, there were people lurking around me.
“Ahem, ahem. Um, Miss Roella. Perhaps our family…”
“My sister-in-law…”
“Well, my younger brother, you see. It’s absolutely not because he wanted to do that, but because he was deceived…”
“Um, please put in a good word with His Grace. Understand?”
“Yes, of course. I understand that you’re all feeling wronged. His Grace probably already knows everything. That’s why he forgave you. If you just make amends going forward, His Grace will surely forget everything.”
“Th-that’s right, isn’t it?”
“That’s what I think.”
At my words, the old nobles’ faces brightened, and they left one by one. Having gained hope, they’d probably try to do something now. And they’d try to erase their past. There would be wailing sounds from here and there.
That would be fun to watch too.
Aidan and Jayman approached me.
“…You were really amazing today, Miss Roella.”
“Isn’t this all thanks to learning well from Mr. Jayman and Mr. Aidan? Haha, I hope Count Sroil will be alright.”
“That guy will be fine. You really worked hard today, Miss Roella.”
The way both of them looked at me had changed too.
Ahem, was I pretty cool today?
* * *
Count Sroil gathered the nobles in his indignation.
He simply couldn’t forget the humiliation he suffered today. What made him even angrier was the Grand Duke who ignored his years of loyalty and overlooked Roella’s antics.
To suffer such insult at an age when he should be watching his adorable grandchildren’s cute antics!
Count Sroil slammed the table with a bang! But the nobles who usually came running whenever Count Sroil called were nowhere to be seen.
“Why are these people so slow!!”
Count Sroil trembled with rage. It was only after an hour had passed that they began to show up one by one, but only three had gathered.
“Where did everyone go! Don’t they know I called them! And why are you all so late!”
“Ahem. You should be grateful we came at all, Count. Have you forgotten what happened at today’s meeting?”
“I remember everything, which is why I called you! Do you also treat me like an old has-been? We need to discuss how to deal with that damned wench!”
“Deal with her, you say…”
“What?”
The nobles slightly turned their heads, avoiding Count Sroil’s gaze.
Truth be told, what happened today was quite humiliating. It was no different from being toyed with by all the Established Powers who had held Northern Authority. But aside from that, no one could take Count Sroil’s side in that situation.
Count Sroil had merely tried to suppress Roella by bringing up stale customs, while Roella criticized Count Sroil’s corruption based on precise evidence. Even though she added mockery to it, taking the wrong side would have meant getting beaten down together.
Moreover, those who saw how the Grand Duke looked at Roella would never be able to raise objections.
“Ah, Count Sroil should exercise some restraint now! It’s time for that. In fact, you couldn’t say a word in that situation either, yet here you are gathering us behind the scenes so gloomily!”
“What, what!”
“That’s the truth, isn’t it. What’s important now is that the Grand Duke covered everything up and said he’s giving another chance! Weren’t you thinking of passing this position to your son? Count Sroil shouldn’t be doing this right now, should he? If you mess up further, it’ll turn out just as Miss Roella said!”
“What are you talking about!”
Count Sroil, who had nothing to say, could only repeat the same words.
