She couldn’t understand why she was caught in this world’s grand narrative, especially since she knew how tragic Diya and Zen’s story would be.
“If only I didn’t know their story, I would’ve peacefully accepted Lady Saint’s request. But I know how dreadful this story is.”
“That’s why I don’t want to be involved…”
Deborah frowned involuntarily, picturing Diya’s bright face she had never seen.
“Yes, I know too well that hell awaits her. Knowing that and still…”
In the novel, Diya was anxious from the moment Zen proposed, but she comforted herself, believing her future would gradually improve.
“Her inevitable choice was a hope born in misfortune.”
Despite suppressing her anxiety, Diya entered the Baker family only to have her fears become reality.
Born into poverty, Diya had lived a life of hardship but always dreamed of happiness. However, her future was filled with nothing but misfortune.
And no one here knew of Diya’s unhappiness – Deborah, unfamiliar with Diya, was the only exception.
“I didn’t want to get entangled in Diya and Zen’s misfortune, honestly, I still don’t want to. But now…”
Deborah felt suffocated with disgust and guilt for having turned away so quickly, just because she didn’t want to get entangled in someone else’s misfortune. What released her from this choking sensation was a small sense of responsibility.
Seeing Deborah nod slightly, Lady Saint was pleased and wore an elegant smile.
“Phew, I feel relieved now that you’ve agreed.”
“Lady, I appreciate your high regard for me, but I’m not sure I can be of much help.”
“Haha, don’t feel so burdened.”
As Deborah looked into Lady Saint’s eyes, the lady spoke with a voice as warm as sunshine and as dignified as a lion.
“Deborah, just in case you forget, you are my person. You must never forget that. No one in this mansion, nor outside, can treat you lightly. You must always be confident.”
Deborah grumbled at Lady Saint, who had both pushed her to the edge and offered a hand.
“I’m grateful for your words, but I really don’t know. I feel like I might tarnish your honor.”
“Even if you make a mistake, it will never be a burden to me.”
Lady Saint confidently said. Deborah gave a half-hearted smile, transparent to Lady Saint, who shook her head playfully.
“My dear, how can a young one lack such spirit?”
“Lady, please. I’m twenty-eight years old.”
“Haha, to me, you’re still a baby, no matter what.”
“I could have children at my age, you know?”
“What does that matter? You’re a baby to me!”
Following Lady Saint’s light laughter, Deborah too smiled more comfortably.
It still felt uneasy and insecure, but it seemed impossible to avoid this storm. Deborah’s task was clear then.
“To stop the storm.”
Stopping a great fate as a human seemed impossible, especially without any significant power. But trying was better than not attempting at all.
“But what is the relationship between Lady Saint and Zen?”
As Deborah pondered, Lady Saint asked,
“What are you thinking about so deeply?”
Unable to admit she was wondering about Lady Saint’s relationship with Zen, Deborah asked another question.
“But, Lady, a lady’s maid is supposed to help with fashion, not provide comfort, right?”
“Haha, correct. But you’ll be Lady Diya’s personal maid. Your workload might increase, but I trust you can handle it, right?”
“Lady…”
Lady Saint laughed heartily at Deborah’s reproachful look. Deborah found joy in her laughter too.
