‘It would be nice to be hired as a clerk at a sewing or grocery store….’
It was at that moment that Mayana turned her body towards the living room again.
A creaking sound came from the back door of the kitchen. Mayana thought it was due to the wind, and didn’t take it seriously. But the door swung open from the outside, and a man dressed in dark clothes suddenly entered and stared wideeyed at Mayana.
Mayana’s eyes widened.
“You, who…!”
A cold, damp hand, no, a leathersmelling hand touched her lips as she was about to scream. Mayana turned pale, struggling and trying to shout, but the man’s hand clamped more tightly on her cheek and jaw.
A man’s whisper reached Mayana’s ear as she flailed.
“Be quiet, you’ll scare the lady.”
At that moment, the noise of the rain beating on the roof and windows seemed to disappear. The man’s voice was ghostly cool, yet unbelievably low and soft. A voice like the heavy fog spread over the fragrant garden before dawn….
Mayana stopped struggling and kicked the man’s shin hard with the heel of her shoe.
“Ugh!”
At the same time the man let out a groan, the hand that had been covering Mayana’s mouth lost its strength. She quickly escaped and looked for something that could be used as a weapon. A kitchen knife? No, that’s too dangerous. Maybe a frying pan would be better….
As she hurriedly looked around, she picked up a can of canned peaches, and the man said,
“What are you? A thief? Or a swindler? Judging by your clothes, it seems like you’ve run away from some noble house. Did you steal some silverware?”
Mayana gave a derisive laugh.
“Who’s talking right now? Sneaking in through the back door. If you don’t leave now, I’ll throw this right in the middle of your slick face. It’s harder to miss on this street. If you don’t want a broken nose, leave quietly.”
“Why should I listen to you? You’re not the owner of this house.”
Mayana was at a loss for words when Celin, leaning on her cane, appeared in the kitchen.
“Duke has arrived. I couldn’t hear you because of the rain.”
The man then bowed his head and said,
“It’s been a long time since I visited you, ma’am. I’m glad to see you’re healthy.”
His eyes glanced towards Mayana. As expected, she was frozen stiff, holding the canned peaches.
Celin said,
“Mayana, are you there? You must have been surprised, but don’t worry. This gentleman is Duke Valterminster.”
Mayana’s and the man’s eyes met squarely. Even under the dim light, the man’s eyes were a distinct blue, striking to behold.
In El Bleuen, if people were asked to name the two most wellknown figures, they would first mention the name of King Elmerat. Next, they would readily talk about Valterminster Duke.
A man renowned for receiving the king’s entire favor, possessing overwhelming power. The one with the speaking rights on par with the direct descendants of the royal family is none other than Valterminster Duke.
A man of authority that ordinary people couldn’t even look directly at. The man Mayana was about to throw a can at was such a figure.
‘Should I faint, or should I beg on my knees?’
Mayana gripped the tin can tightly as she was lost in deep thought.
(This is a time separator.)
“There was a slightly sagging part of the roof around the chimney. I thought it would collapse if left that way.”
Mayana said this, clutching the tin can and lost in serious contemplation. Lady Celine shook her head with an awkward smile.
“The house is old, so it can’t be helped. But with the weather being so rough, I hope your clothes did not get wet, Duke?”
The Duke—if he really was a Duke—answered,
“I’m fine, so don’t worry. I told the groom to find a repairman for the roof. He will probably come tomorrow afternoon.”
“Oh, what should I do? Thank you.”
Celine gave a shy smile and lightly touched the floor with her cane.
“By the way, have you greeted the young lady?”
For a moment, Mayana flinched and looked at the Duke. Then she realized his gaze was directed upwards.
‘Oops!’
Mayana’s hand quickly dropped down. Watching her hide the tin can behind her back, the Duke chuckled with a curious expression.
“Yes, madam. I’m not sure if I can say we exchanged greetings……. But who is this young lady?”
Celine laughed softly. Then, lowering her head towards Chels, who was sitting quietly on the stool, she spoke.
“She’s a pitiful young lady brought by our Chels. She said she has nowhere to go, so I told her she could stay, at least for tonight to escape the rain.”
“I see.”
The Duke glanced at Mayana. Then he smiled mockingly once more and continued.
“But madam, you must always be careful. You never know what she might do, deceiving you with a hardluck story.”

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
