Episode 56

Am I crazy enough to run away with him? He’s the one who tried to kidnap me for his own needs.

There’s only one thing I want.

For him to be deceived into thinking we’re running away together until I disappear.

That way, he has to stay here until I escape.

Still, I will help Rihardt.

I’m planning to give him all the information I know before I escape.

“You must never betray me, Miss Maid.”

Is he saying we’ll run away together?

I took it as a positive answer, but Rihardt’s blue eyes glinted sharply.

Before I could get lost in his beautiful face, I felt an eerie sensation.

“I’ve never left alone those who betrayed me.”

“…”

“So Miss Maid, you’d better be prepared when you betray me.”

…Did I speak carelessly?

I suddenly began to regret what I had said earlier.

“Don’t you betray me either.”

I spoke curtly and naturally avoided his gaze.

“But Miss Maid, did you really cheat?”

“What?”

What context is this suddenly?

“I asked if you really cheated. Did you like that guy that much?”

“…”

It was such a deflating question that all my tension seemed pointless.

Was this a joke to ease the tension, or was he genuinely curious?

“Why do you keep being curious about that? Isn’t that none of your business?”

“So did you really cheat?”

What cheating when I should be worrying about survival? You need to be in a relationship to cheat in the first place.

I snapped at the absurd question.

“Yes, I cheated. Very passionately.”

I guess dragging Emily around all day today and explaining to everyone wasn’t enough.

Repeating the same thing multiple times left me with no energy to explain anymore.

Then cracks appeared on Rihardt’s pretty face.

He twisted his lips upward.

“I see.”

For a moment, my spine went cold without realizing it, and I thought I had made a mistake.

…Maybe I should have explained even if it was bothersome.

As always, his handsome face smiled brightly.

It was clearly a blindingly beautiful smile, but somehow it became eerie.

“Who did you cheat with?”

“Would you know if I told you?”

“Even if I don’t know now, I’ll find out soon.”

…Why go that far?

It was as if he liked me and was jealous. That couldn’t be possible. It was a ridiculous thought.

This too would just be a ploy to use me.

Rihardt won favor this way in the novel.

Or maybe it was displeasure stemming from considering me his property.

“Listen here, Mr. Monster.”

I flicked his furrowed brow with my index finger, just like Rihardt always did to me.

Rihardt’s twisted expression relaxed slightly.

“You’re overstepping.”

“…”

“You have no right to interfere with whatever I do. What are you to me? Isn’t that right?”

“Am I nothing to you, Miss Maid?”

“Strange. Why do you keep demanding emotional things from me?”

Both Yurta and this man were truly bothersome.

Is it because of that damn fragrance that supposedly comes from my body?

What’s so special about that fragrance that they’re obsessed with me?

Momentary irritation surged, but I suppressed it. Then I looked at Rihardt and smiled as if nothing was wrong.

Rihardt stared at me with blank eyes for a moment.

“Do you want to be someone special to me?”

“…”

“Is it because of my fragrance? Seeing how you act, I must really be necessary to you.”

“Yes, you are necessary.”

I was speechless at his shameless answer. Yes, that’s just like you.

The conversation didn’t continue further.

Rihardt leaned against my palm as if pressing his cheek to it.

The disheveled man rested against my hand as if it were his only salvation.

* * *

Meanwhile, a letter arrived for the Head of the Herthas Family.

“Yurta sent me a letter?”

This was the son who hadn’t sent a single letter despite achieving the feat of securing mining development rights from Count Evantes.

The Head of the Herthas Family opened the letter with curiosity.

He was proud that the son he had confined to the Academy for causing trouble had returned and achieved such results.

Until he read the letter, the Head of the Herthas Family was in a good mood.

However.

After checking the letter, the Head of the Herthas Family stiffened.

“Butler! Where are you!”

“Yes, Master. What’s the matter?”

When the Head of the Herthas Family shouted, the butler came running immediately.

The Head of the Herthas Family shouted with an angry face.

“Bring Dillen here immediately.”

The stiff letter had long been crumpled in the Herthas Master’s hand.

And for good reason – this wasn’t an ordinary letter.

…What was disguised as a letter contained Yurta’s order to set fire to the Herthas Estate.

* * *

“I wondered how long you’d keep fooling around.”

A half-naked man who had just sobered up from drinking irritably lifted his body buried in the sofa.

The man’s brown hair was sticking out in all directions, completely disheveled.

The man rubbed his tired eyes firmly. The eyes revealed between his brown eyelashes were red like blood.

“That damn sister, sister. I thought he’d lost his mind searching for her like crazy. But in the meantime, he even secured mining development rights. How impressive.”

The man, Dillen Herthas, sneered while thinking of his younger brother Yurta.

Though his head wasn’t working well due to being drunk, he read through the paper listing Yurta’s achievements.

About two years ago, an incident occurred where the eldest daughter of Herthas ran away.

Rose Herthas.

“…Damn it.”

Dillen spat out a curse in annoyance as the pink hair that flickered before his eyes came to mind.

Just then, the door burst open and a maid entered.

“The Master will be saddened to hear that the young master has been drinking heavily.”

The maid who was cleaning up the messy room scolded Dillen.

The wrinkled-faced servant had been close to Dillen since childhood, making her one of the few people who could speak so impudently to him.

“How dare you enter without knocking.”

“I did knock, but the young master who was drinking heavily couldn’t hear it.”

“How insolent, how dare you.”

Dillen raised his eyebrows but had no intention of punishing the maid.

Rather, he wanted to do something about his aching head from the alcohol first.

“Young master, the Master has summoned you. This old servant hopes you would pay a little more attention to your behavior.”

“Father summoned me?”

“Yes, so please go quickly. Surely you’re not going to meet the Master reeking of alcohol? Please wash up, young master.”

Originally, Dillen wasn’t the type to drink heavily like a wastrel.

Only very occasionally, when ‘that incident’ came to mind, would he seek alcohol and drink himself nearly to death.

Although Yurta had made a grave mistake and Dillen had taken over the heir position instead, that wasn’t the only reason he had gained the Master’s favor.

Dillen cared about his reputation in his own way.

That was the only way he could even compare to Yurta.

The problem was that the swaying pink hair before his eyes wouldn’t disappear.

That damn woman who dared to break her promise with him and run away.

“Hah…”

The maid who had tidied up the messy room left.

Dillen clutched his throbbing head and muttered irritably.

“If I ever meet her again…”

He would never let her off easy.

He would make her pay dearly for betraying him.

After finishing his preparations to meet the Master, Dillen headed to the Master’s office.

There, the Master stood with his back to Dillen, wearing an angry expression.

“You summoned me.”

“Yes, Dillen.”

The Master, barely suppressing his anger, commanded Dillen.

“That bastard Yurta seems to be causing unnecessary trouble in Evantes.”

“…Is that so.”

“Go to Evantes immediately.”

Stop Yurta from doing anything foolish there.

When the Master finished speaking, Dillen nodded silently without a single word of objection.

* * *

Being able to spend time leisurely was the only advantage of being a personal maid.

The disadvantage was having to stay with Rihardt all day long.

At first, I stayed in Rihardt’s room all day in a state of high tension, but after a few days, the tension wore off.

To the extent that I dozed off without realizing it.

The problem was…

“Are you awake?”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Rihardt’s handsome face.

His gentle smile reminded me of the pure white angel I had seen in my dreams.

I came to my senses a little later after blankly observing his beauty.

“…I slept well, but why am I sleeping on your lap?”
