Blair, with a face that looked like she could burst into tears at any moment, but with anger-filled eyes, added.
“It’s not okay for you to be in this situation because of me.”
“What’s going on?”
Herdin entered through the open door. Judging by his attire, he must have heard the commotion on his way out, gloves and all.
“Y-Your Grace.”
In the sudden appearance of Herdin, the maids and Lena fell into contemplation, bowing their heads.
Herdin put on his gloves quickly and assessed the situation in the room.
The maid with a red cheek and Blair, who was slightly trembling.
It didn’t take him long to figure out the situation.
Everyone was silent, and only the maid who had been hit by Blair stepped forward to face Herdin.
“She gave this child a beating because she didn’t properly do what she asked, Your Grace, but it seems there’s a misunderstanding—”
“I haven’t asked her anything.”
It was a clear and straightforward accusation. The maid closed her mouth and lowered her head.
Herdin’s gaze turned to Blair. He was waiting for her to speak. The maids were also looking at Blair.
They wanted to blame the situation on Lena, even though they thought Herdin disliked Blair, the mistress of the mansion and the princess. And Blair didn’t expect Herdin to believe her words. But even so, she didn’t want to end it by completely turning things around on Lena.
But…
“I brought this child here, and these maids have been tormenting and bullying her.”
The maids were surprised by Blair’s reaction, but they didn’t worry too much. After all, Herdin wouldn’t take the side of Blair, the Duke’s enemy’s daughter.
Blair also didn’t expect Herdin to believe her words. But even so, she didn’t want to end it by completely turning things around on Lena.
However…
“I have mishandled the education of the lower staff. I will take care of them soon, Your Grace.”
He believed Blair’s words without further inquiry.
The faces of the maids who had heard the story all turned thoughtful. Blair also looked at him with surprise.
Lena, who had been watching the situation, spoke in haste.
I have translated the paragraph from Korean to English as per your request. Here is the English translation:
“Y-Your Grace, I’m fine. They were just playing around, and this is all part of getting closer.”
Of course, the maids who had tormented Lena didn’t appear to be innocent. But as someone in a similar situation, Blair knew better than anyone the difficulties they would face after being dismissed.
Understanding Lena’s discomfort, Blair agreed with her sentiment.
“Herdin, that’s… too harsh, I think. Sincere apologies and cutting half of this month’s wages should be enough.”
The maids, who had been uneasy, also kneeled down.
“We apologize, Your Grace! We were thoughtless and committed this wrong act. Please forgive us just this once.”
“Apologies should be directed to my wife and this maid, not me.”
After coldly retorting, Herdin ordered Mason, who had arrived late after hearing the news.
“Mason, deduct two months’ wages from them.”
“Herdin.”
“I think this is an appropriate punishment.”
Blair called out to object to the punishment, but Herdin cut her off as if he already knew what she was going to say.
“Your Grace.”
Russ, checking his wristwatch, called Herdin. It meant it was time.
“I’ll be back.”
Herdin gently kissed Blair’s forehead, a behavior unlike his usual self.
Blair, who was surprised by his behavior different from usual, only realized his intention when she saw the maids standing beside her.
It was a warning. This woman is my wife. Make sure such incidents don’t happen again.
Blair stared blankly at his back as he left the bedroom.
He believed my words.
But why did she feel more of a sense of futility than gratitude? The problem of Lena being tormented for three years before her return had been resolved with just a few of his words.
That night, Lena headed to Blair’s bedroom with a silver tray and a towel filled with cold water.
‘Your Grace, if you leave it like this, your delicate hands will surely bruise.’
Hitting someone means you must be tough enough to do so.
Instead of hitting someone, her tender and delicate hands, which had never done anything harsh, wouldn’t be able to withstand today’s shock.
‘Sorry, Lena. I’m so sorry I found out so late…’
Our gentle princess, who felt sorry even after saving her. When she thought of the firm cheek of the maid who had been hit by her tender hand, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
“Madam, it’s me. I’ll come in for a moment.”
Using her elbow instead of her hand holding the silver tray, Lena opened the door to Blair’s room. At the same time, she accidentally dropped the carefully prepared silver tray.
“Y-Your Highness?!”
