It’s not often that servants openly admit that their master has gone mad.
The steward, who had established a hierarchy early in my marriage, soon realized the real power lay with Antra and submitted to her.
The servants under him, who suffered more than their meddling mother-in-law, must be feeling wretched.
I looked at the steward scornfully.
‘You’re out too.’
Meanwhile, Antra seemed somewhat placated by the steward’s silver tongue, lazily lifting her chin.
“Hmm, well, since it’s due to an injury, I’ll forgive you this time.”
What? I frowned, feeling a sense of discord.
Typically, Antra would have been shaking me by my hair and throwing a fit.
‘Does she have a request?’
As if to confirm my suspicions, Antra asked in a crafty manner.
“What about the child? Why did you do that?”
“Do what?”
“You reduced the budget for maintaining your dignity on your own.”
I let out a hollow laugh.
‘So it’s about the money, not concern for the daughter-in-law.’
Devon provided Antra with a daily allowance for luxury expenses through Bovie. But today, the amount delivered by the servant was less, prompting her to rush over.
Apparently, in addition to ordering a hitman while drunk yesterday, I had also cut her financial support.
‘Nice.’
Smirking internally, I lazily breathed in and spoke.
“So what?”
“Don’t you know that order and principles are important in a household? Why meddle in finances? What do you know?”
“…….”
Staring intently at Antra, I lowered my eyes and spoke calmly.
“Mother.”
At first glance, my submissive attitude made Antra snort arrogantly, thinking I had finally returned to the Ettrisha she knew.
“Fine. I won’t accept your apology, just go back to.”
“Do you think father knows about the dignity maintenance funds that Devon is providing you?”
Lady Diane, the mother-in-law, was stingy. There’s no way the man who trembles at the thought of a single Orgrant leaving his wallet would know.
Antra stiffened her face and straightened up.
“What insolence to blackmail.”
“What about the time before the marriage when you helped Uncle with business funds?”
Mrs. Antra’s eyes narrowed slightly as she hesitated.
“That, that was a commercial investment made willingly by you!”
Ha. I scoffed at her feeble excuse.
‘Shameless. She made me sit down and forcibly sign it, claiming she’d think about it.’
My scalp still hurt from when she had grabbed my hair then.
Suddenly reminded of something, I calmly spoke to Antra’s retreating back.
“Mother.”
With a voice as soft and gentle as a spring breeze, Lady Antra turned around, expecting my usual demeanor.
Observing her triumphant smile, I bowed my waist.
“Farewell.”
Silence hovered above my head.
I opened my eyes wide and observed Antra. She stood there with a stunned expression.
“I remembered you were upset earlier because I didn’t greet you.”
“……Well, tha-thank you so much.”
Grinding her teeth, Lady Antra turned away, her dress swirling around her.
“Mother?”
“Don’t call me mother ever again!”
Lady Antra screamed and quickened her steps. It was as if she was saying, ‘Have you ever treated me like a mother?’
“Then, shall I call you Lady Diane?”
“Enough, when have you ever been respectful! Call me whatever you want!”
In that case.
“Yes, ma’am.”
Lady Antra turned sharply, her eyes burning with anger.
‘You said to call you whatever I want.’
I blinked innocently and shrugged my shoulders.
With a scornful look, Antra stomped out of the mansion like an elephant.
‘Finally, she’s gone.’
I let out a relieved sigh, feeling like I had cleared a backlog of work.
‘Oh, this isn’t the time.’
To survive the consequences of my drunken actions from the previous night, I needed to rectify my mistakes.
Ignoring the astonished looks of the servants and steward, I swished away the floating fox fur with my hand and quickly exited the mansion.
My destination was unmistakably the assassin’s guild.
Adjusting the mask on my face, I stared at the tea that had been cold since it was placed on the table.
‘He’ll be here soon, so sip on this while you wait.’
The tea was left by a man claiming to be the guild leader’s assistant, his gold teeth glinting sinisterly as he smiled.
‘Let’s get this started.’
