“Fine. Then you’ll only work as my ‘il domestico’ for three days a week.”
Closet quickly compromised upon hearing the amount. Her retreat, almost princess-like, was quite adorable, making Roselia smile without realizing.
“Thank you, Lady.”
“But in return, you have to do my hair whenever I want, okay? The maids here can’t do updos as well as you.”
“Of course.”
As they spoke, Denver, one of the servants, approached to refill Roselia’s empty glass. He seemed quite displeased that a new servant like Roselia was receiving such preferential treatment from Closet.
Suddenly, while Closet was distracted with her meal, Denver deliberately aimed the water jug at Roselia.
“Hey!”
At Roselia’s shout, Denver stopped pouring and awkwardly apologized, pretending to be flustered.
“Ah! I’m so sorry, Antonio. I just lost my grip…”
As Roselia’s predicament caught Closet’s attention, she looked over.
“Antonio, what’s wrong?”
Roselia, intending to confront Denver’s clearly intentional behavior, quickly stood up as her thin white poet shirt, now wet, clung to her and outlined the cloth wrapped around her chest. Anyone observant enough might notice that she had added extra cloth inside.
“It’s alright, Lady. It seems I need to excuse myself due to my attire.”
“What do you mean? You still need to finish your meal. I’ll reprimand Denver right away.”
“No, it feels uncomfortable. I need to change.”
Roselia bowed politely to Closet and hurriedly stood up, moving towards the dining room door.
Just then, the familiar voice of the butler, Jeffrey, came from outside the dining room.
“The Duke is joining the dining room.”
As the dining room door slowly opened, Klaus’s figure gradually appeared. Roselia, like a rabbit caught in front of a predator, froze in his presence.
“What’s going on?”
Klaus, having heard the commotion from outside, scanned Roselia and Closet with a stern expression.
Closet, apparently displeased with Klaus’s arrival, quickly closed her mouth and turned away. Klaus glanced at her briefly before looking at Roselia with an impassive face and coldly spoke.
“You seem quite free, dining with Closet. Have you already gathered the 500 berangs?”
Roselia, eager to leave due to her wet shirt but stuck in front of Klaus, rolled her eyes uncomfortably and replied.
“There’s still almost two months left.”
“I thought you had already gathered the 500 berangs since I heard you accompanied Closet to a tea party.”
Klaus’s sarcastic remark twisted Roselia’s expression with displeasure.
“I’m not in a position to refuse the Lady’s request.”
Her look was a provocative one, as if to say, ‘You were the one who brought me into the Duke’s household.’
Klaus’s gaze slowly drifted to her wet shirt.
“The shirt’s wet. Surely you didn’t drink the water with your body.”
Saying so, Klaus’s eyes shifted to the servants inside the dining room.
Denver, pre-emptively scared, stiffened and bowed his head even lower.
Roselia, more eager to leave than to argue, bowed to Klaus and tried to step out of the dining room.
“As you can see, I need to excuse myself due to my condition.”
As she attempted to pass by him, Klaus’s large hand suddenly and unexpectedly grabbed her wrist.
Startled, Roselia looked up at Klaus with wide eyes.
Klaus stared back with his usual cold, sharp gaze.
“Are you hurt?”
His sudden question left Roselia confused.
“What?”
At her dumbfounded response, Klaus frowned slightly and looked down at her wet shirt, specifically at what seemed to be a bandage underneath.
“It looks like you’re wearing a bandage underneath.”
At that moment, Roselia’s body tensed up, and a cold sweat ran down her back.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
