“If even my daughter, no matter how much, has no utility to me, I will cast her aside. That’s what Father always said to me.”

“…”

“But surely, you won’t now appeal to the ties of family, right?”

“…”

“Then really, truly… It would be disappointing.”

As he spoke with a mocking tone, Duke Bold’s face quickly turned red.

I quickly suppressed the mocking expression and glared at him.
“I must have clearly told you not to come here like this.”

With gritted teeth, Duke Bold exhaled a long breath, suppressing his anger with a forced calm expression.

Then, he smirked.

“Sure… to appeal to family ties. I can’t afford to show such a vulgar appearance.”

“…”

“From the beginning, I never harbored the affection of a father toward you to warrant such appeals.”

Duke Bold let out a malicious laugh.

One could tell that he was sincere from the emptiness and chilling gaze in his eyes.

His eyes contained no trace of emotion.

“So, all the more reason, I must take what I’ve agreed to receive.”

“You agreed to receive something?”

As he continued speaking, irritation began to creep up.

Squeezing his face tightly, I asked, and he raised his eyebrows, flashing an impudent smile.

“Oh, Rebecca, you seem to have forgotten our promise, as if you never knew.”

“…”

“As a condition for making you the Duchess of the Twin’s estate, do you remember what you promised to give me?”

Duke Bold let out a crazy laughter, flickering his eyes towards me.

At the same time, in the hallway of the Grand Vision, the maidens of the Grand Vision were avoiding the surveillance of the head maid and enjoying laughter with each other.

“By the way, those Light Mansion servants.”

“Ugh, those arrogant show-offs! Seriously, how unfortunate.”

As soon as the maid heard the words ‘servants of the Light Mansion,’ she spat out her discontent.

There was a subtle rivalry between the servants of the two mansions.

The servants of the Light Mansion were called ‘elite show-offs soaked in aristocratic pride’ by the servants of the Dark Mansion.

Conversely, in the Light Mansion, the servants referred to the Dark Mansion servants as ‘those who can’t even directly serve the Duke’s family.’

Their subtle discord had become even more pronounced recently.

It all started after Duchess Rebecca moved her residence to the Dark Mansion.

Even though Rebecca might have changed, the servants of the Light Mansion paid no heed.

Of course, it was a hard fact to believe.

The servants of the Dark Mansion had endured Rebecca’s tyranny in the past.

However, even from their perspective, the current Rebecca was a completely different person.

Now, Rebecca was the pride of the Duke’s family, the only resident of the Dark Mansion.

The servants genuinely admired their mistress, Rebecca.

Nevertheless, the servants of the Light Mansion continued to grind their teeth against Rebecca.

How they would appear gracefully in the eyes of the Dark Mansion servants.

“If we had met in the demon realm without our ranks, we could have crushed them at least halfway.”

A maid, as if feeling uncomfortable, loosened the muscles in her neck and spoke.

“So true. Of course, the human realm is better, but at times like this, returning to the demon realm and just… pow!”

“Right… Actually, the human realm is a bit boring.”
About six maids nodded their heads with bored expressions.

To them, the Duke’s Twins’ estate was no different from the royal family.

Although they had come to the human realm under their names and were trying to suppress their nature, half of their blood still belonged to the demon realm.

Moreover, having grown up in the rough demon fields, wearing uniforms and living an organized life seemed more boring.

Minah, who was sitting among them, sighed deeply and moved towards the window.

“But still, it seems like the Light Mansion servants have changed a bit lately, don’t you think?”

As one maid spoke, Minah turned slightly while walking.

“Oh, them? Seriously.”

“Really!”

“What changed?”

“I met Dennis last time, and he said so. He didn’t want to say it, but it seems like Duchess Rebecca has changed a lot.”

“Did that brat really say that?”

“That’s what I heard!”

Another maid nodded along with the explanation.

“Lady Bianca also keeps looking for Lady Rebecca, so they’re gradually starting to believe us now!”

Finally, Minah sat by the window.

While listening to the chatter of the other maids and laughing, she fixed her gaze outside.

“Huh…? Is that Lady Rebecca? Who is she with?”

Minah’s forehead slowly wrinkled.

The atmosphere of the two figures outside the window seemed unusual.

“That person is… Duke Bold, right?”

Recently, Rebecca had been avoiding contact with her father, Duke Bold.

Minah, who was quick-witted, couldn’t help but notice it.

On the day Duke Bold last visited, Rebecca’s expression had been chilling.

She stared out the window with a worried expression for a while.

Minah’s face crumpled into a small frown.

“That crazy…!”

The sudden stream of curses made the maids behind her giggle.

A vitality that hadn’t been there before appeared in Minah’s eyes.

Looking at Minah, whose emotions were clearly in turmoil, the maids rushed to her side.

“What’s wrong?”

“Why are you suddenly so fierce…”

The eyes of the maids followed Minah’s gaze.

In the secluded alley, Duke Bold was grabbing Rebecca’s shoulder and threatening her.

As the maids finally assessed the situation, a fierce energy gradually began to emanate from their faces.

“To dare to touch our Lady Rebecca in the estate of the Duke’s Twins, the owners of the mixed-blood demons…”

“At this point, we can loosen up a bit, right?”

“…Ask what, we should just kill him.”

Thud.

With the sound of teeth clashing, the maids’ eyes became more severe.

After a while, until they relaxed their bodies.

In the midst of those maids, Minah flicked her finger.

“Hey, let’s quickly change into pants.”

And a faint madness passed through Minah’s smiling eyes.

“Well, I think I need to go deal with that lunatic over there.”
