The Male Lead’s Devoted Maid is Too Competent Episode 031

 

‘You ruined everything.’

 

Elisha glared at Roella’s retreating figure. Roella had taken away everything Elisha had hoped for. Roella disappeared, and the corridor became quiet again.

 

Elisha clenched her fists. The things she had learned would come in handy at times like this, when her belongings were stolen from her. Elisha peered through the office door crack again.

 

Christen remained alone, organizing documents. He seemed to be in a good mood, still wearing that gentle smile. It was obvious what he was thinking about. He must be thinking of Roella, right?

 

Roella was occupying the seat next to Christen and possessing him, despite having no qualifications.

 

By Elisha’s standards, this was breaking the rules. Then she just needed to seize it. If Roella disappeared, Christen would feel empty again, and she would take that place.

 

So she was justice, and Roella was injustice. Elisha finished her self-rationalization like that.

 

‘This is my place. My destiny.’

 

Elisha slowly turned around.

 

She walked down the corridor back toward her own bedroom.

 

But in her heart, a hot flame had already taken root.

 

* * *

 

The 6th night.

 

Today too, Christen and I were working together in the office.

 

I was organizing documents when I looked up. I saw Christen hesitate while trying to receive some papers.

 

His hand was trembling slightly.

 

“Your Grace?”

 

I sensed something was wrong and looked at him carefully.

 

Only then did I see it.

 

Christen’s face had turned deathly pale. His lips had also turned bluish, and cold sweat was beading on his forehead.

 

This is…! Mana Poisoning! Come to think of it, I remembered the chronic illness Christen suffered from. He seemed so fine that I thought he was okay!

 

My heart sank.

 

“Your Grace!”

 

I quickly got up from my seat. I hurried over to try to touch Christen, but faster than that…

 

Thud.

 

Christen collapsed onto the desk.

 

“Your Grace! Your Grace!”

 

I frantically shook him. But Christen lay limp, having lost consciousness.

 

His hands were turning blue. Starting from his fingertips to his wrists, like poison spreading. When I gripped Christen’s hand tightly, I could feel the magic power surging in overwhelmingly. It was nauseating.

 

I felt that power drain out again. But it seemed to recharge as much as it drained. Christen’s complexion showed no signs of improving.

 

No way.

 

My mind went blank.

 

Didn’t he go back to his room at dawn to sleep? Didn’t he sleep holding hands with Elisha?

 

Why is his condition like this! It was clearly proven that Elisha’s compatibility is higher than mine.

 

I hurriedly opened the door and rushed out into the corridor.

 

“Is anyone there! His Grace has collapsed!”

 

My scream-like cry echoed through the corridor.

 

Soon Lady Rosette and Aidan also appeared in a hurry.

 

“Good heavens…!”

 

Lady Rosette’s face turned pale white upon seeing the collapsed Christen.

 

“Your Grace! Your Grace!”

 

“Call a doctor! Quickly!”

 

At Lady Rosette’s command, one of the guards rushed away. Aidan tried to carry him but failed, and the knights supported him from both sides. Because of his tall height, his legs could be seen dragging on the ground. Even that looked pitiful.

 

Christen’s shoes were scattered on the floor. She carefully picked them up and followed behind.

 

Please let Christen be safe.

 

* * *

 

Christen was lying on the bed.

 

The doctor rushed over and examined him.

 

“The mana poisoning has rapidly worsened. If a compatible person doesn’t release magic power immediately….”

 

Before the doctor could finish speaking, Lady Rosette shouted.

 

“Bring Miss Elisha here immediately!”

 

A maid rushed away. Wasn’t this exactly why Elisha was here! Roella was holding one of Christen’s hands, continuously helping the magic power to be discharged.

 

Aidan grasped Christen’s other hand. It was cold and stiff. Aidan sniffled and gently shook him.

 

“Your Grace, please come to your senses. Your Grace!”

 

Not long after, the door burst open and Elisha hurried in. She was in her pajamas with her hair disheveled.

 

“What’s happening…!”

 

“Quickly, hold his hand! Miss Elisha!”

 

Lady Rosette said urgently.

 

Elisha rushed to the bed and grasped Christen’s hand.

 

“Kugh!”

 

Elisha frowned and swallowed a groan. The accumulated power began to be sucked out. Like a massive pump had been turned on, dense magic power began pouring out.

 

It was such intensely concentrated power that even those who knew nothing about magic power could feel it. Cold sweat formed on both Elisha’s forehead and Roella’s forehead.

 

How much time had passed?

 

Christen’s blue face began to slowly regain color.

 

The blue tint at his fingertips slowly disappeared, and his rough breathing was gradually stabilizing. Everyone gathered there confirmed it together. That the light of life was returning to Christen.

 

“It’s working!”

 

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief.

 

5 minutes, 10 minutes.

 

“He should regain consciousness soon. Fortunately, treatment was quick. Thanks to both of you.”

 

The doctor made his diagnosis.

 

“But I don’t understand. Miss Elisha was here, so how did it worsen to this extent?”

 

Aidan slowly raised his head and looked at Elisha.

 

His gaze turned cold.

 

“Miss Elisha.”

 

“Y-yes…?”

 

Elisha answered with a trembling voice.

 

She bit her lips, swallowing the curses back into her mouth before lowering her head. Christen’s collapse wasn’t her fault. It was Christen who had ignored her from the beginning.

 

Aidan asked coldly.

 

“During the past 6 days, while spending nights with His Grace the Grand Duke, did you properly fulfill your role?”

 

Elisha bit her lips.

 

“…No. His Grace the Grand Duke hasn’t come to the bedroom since the first day.”

 

Aidan glared at Elisha with a cold gaze. The blame from the people turned toward Elisha. Elisha chewed on curses in her mouth once again.

 

“I, I couldn’t help it! His Grace the Grand Duke didn’t come. And I couldn’t dare to go find him myself…”

 

Elisha said with a trembling voice.

 

“His Grace the Grand Duke didn’t want me. From the very first day…”

 

Lady Rosette said coldly.

 

“This is a matter of His Grace the Grand Duke’s life. Personal feelings don’t matter.”

 

Elisha swallowed the rising curses once again. Unable to reveal her true nature, her voice trembled even more.

 

“His Grace the Grand Duke was with Miss Roella every night. I believed Miss Roella would be able to help.”

 

Suddenly, all eyes turned to Roella.

 

Roella raised her head. Her face was pale, and her hands were trembling. Her gaze toward Christen had sunk coldly.

 

“I thought His Grace the Grand Duke wanted Miss Roella’s help. So I thought he didn’t need me.”

 

Tears mixed into Elisha’s voice. It was a pitiful voice enough to evoke sympathy.

 

“…Miss Elisha.”

 

People’s compassion turned toward Elisha.

 

“It’s my fault.”

 

Roella declared with a trembling voice.

 

“We were together almost every night, but I didn’t notice. So it’s entirely my fault. I was too complacent.”

 

At those words, the room fell into solemn silence. It was a different silence from when they were attacking Elisha.
