“Are you curious about the portrait behind the black cloth?”
“May I see it?”
“Of course. You are the Duchess of Blanchett.”
Betty swept away the black cloth.
‘Is it something to be so surprised about?’
I already knew and saw it, but it was a portrait worth looking at as a fairly individualistic painting. Betty also showed other portraits.
One of the names written under the portrait was very familiar.
‘Lexius Polman?’
I don’t know why it’s so familiar. Did I read it in the novel?
Then I heard Betty’s cautious question. It was a question I had been waiting for.
“Are these portraits not scary to your eyes, Madam?”
“They are important people who should not be forgotten in the Duchy of Blanchett. So I’m not scared.”
“……”
“I’m just grateful.”
I finished the words I had prepared since I looked at the portrait with a faint smile. Betty, who had been looking at me silently for a moment, smiled happily.
“Madam is a very kind person. The other members of the Duchy would be very happy to hear this.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
Betty’s reaction seemed a bit different from when we first met.
‘Did showing a good side have an effect?’
Of course, even if that’s the case, the fact that Betty is a spy for Johan doesn’t change. So, I opened my mouth to act like the Duchess who cares for her servants.
“But I also know what kind of person I am. I’m not such a good person, nor am I someone who can do something well.”
“……”
“So if Betty doesn’t want to serve me anytime, tell me. I understand enough.”
In that case, if the serving servant disappears, it might be easier to escape.
Betty hesitated with a strange expression.
‘It’s a hard story to say.’
The bathroom was near the room we arrived at by turning from the hallway. It was a very large place, enough to have a separate bathroom even though it was an annex.
“Here is the bathroom for you, Madam.”
The bathroom was much more luxurious than I thought. The bath water seemed hot enough to bathe immediately.
“Then I’ll serve you. Will you take off your clothes?”
Betty reached out her hand as if it was familiar.
‘So this moment has come.’
I, who had bathed alone even in Libertan, felt a little awkward in this situation. Of course, there were things I wanted to hide.
“Can’t I wash alone?”
“……Without bathing service?”
Betty’s brown eyes were full of questions.
“Madam. If I’m uncomfortable, another maid……”
“It’s not like that. It’s just… I’m shy.”
“But you are the Duchess of Blanchett, you can’t avoid a bathing service.”
Betty seemed very firm. She seemed okay when changing clothes before.
‘Did Johan tell her to watch me even when I bathe?’
If that’s the reason, I can’t help it. I can’t raise more suspicion by trying to avoid it forcibly.
“Then I can’t help it. I’ll receive the bathing service.”
Eventually, I undressed to receive Betty’s service. Betty, who was holding my clothes, gasped and dropped the dress.
“Madam. This is……”
Her gaze was fixed on the scar on my body.
‘I wanted to hide it.’
This was a very old scar of mine. If one didn’t know the circumstances, it would be quite shocking to see.
