However, is there any servant in the world who maintains such a dignified posture and speaks so eloquently? The fair skin, faintly glowing even in the darkness, was something only the noble class receiving extreme attention every day could possess.
Moreover, the confident features exuding with each step, as if there was nothing dangerous in the world, were not hidden by pretending to be hidden.
‘I wonder if she thinks she successfully deceived me now?’
Merem, feeling slightly puzzled, became curious about what she would do. He planned to discreetly follow her and, if she seemed to show interest in someone, intervene and cut off any connections.
It was already proven many times that even if he used the power of the spirit to suppress his presence, no one, even someone like Leona, could notice.
‘Why does she want to push me away so badly? It would be nice if she explained.’
Merem stared at the hem of the servant’s dress with sunken eyes. It was already his, and the feeling of being pushed away was not at all pleasant.
‘Alright. It’s a success as expected.’
I felt really good after boarding. Ah, the feeling of liberation that I haven’t felt in so long!
Now, with everyone’s attention focused on ‘Who the real queen is,’ wearing a servant’s dress and hiding my blonde hair with a black wig, it was unlikely that anyone would pay attention to me.
I had anticipated that, and it turned out to be true.
I strolled through the crowd, enjoying the scenery inside the ship. While I was at it, I also enjoyed people-watching.
‘These faces look quite nice.’
Pheobel said he had generously chosen 365 candidates, and I wondered if there were that many handsome men in this country. Surprisingly, there were.
Gentle-looking handsome men, cute handsome men, pretty handsome men. Tall handsome men, short and slightly unkempt handsome men.
Everywhere I looked, there were faces that could easily pass as supporting male characters in a romance novel, all dressed up. It could only be a pleasant feeling with every step I took.
Moreover, all those gathered here seemed to be people who would become my concubines.
The night breeze would be refreshing, and the lights would sparkle.
Everything looked beautiful unless you looked closely.
Of course, amidst all this, there were bound to be some who couldn’t be recycled.
“Ah, sir. What the hell.”
Thud.
As I walked through a narrow corridor, I accidentally bumped shoulders with a man who irritably expressed his displeasure.
‘Oh, you have a temperament that’s not great. Eliminated.’
Just passing by the bold guy, I left my magical power on the cuff of his sleeve.
Applying magical power was not a sign of approval but a sign of elimination.
Pybel, who could recognize my magical power, would probably chase him away tomorrow.
In addition, I eliminated about ten people.
They were mostly guys who teased servant girls or those who were completely drunk and became insensible. Others who violently attacked other candidates.
‘There were no criteria for personality in the evaluation, so it’s inevitable that the faces are half and half mixed with garbage.’
The servant’s dress was indeed a remarkable disguise.
Clearly, even though I was there, no one saw me, and no one paid attention to me.
But it felt incredibly fascinating to become a presence that exists yet does not exist.
Throughout my long life, I had never experienced anything like this.
‘The actors are doing well. So far, there’s no sign of danger.’
It was probably because Merem had been considering assassination from the beginning and had devised a good security strategy.
Even in my eyes, the ship was securely protected without any leaks.
“Ugh, who cares about knowing who the queen is.”
While leaning on the railing and looking down at the vast sea, a man appeared mumbling.
Not only did he annoy me, but he even took out a cigarette.
Seeing that, I quietly moved my feet to hide in the shadowy area.
‘Even though they clearly notified the presence of a smoking room….’
Oh my goodness. It’s better not to smoke at all, but if you must, you should do it in the smoking room. Even in the royal city, isn’t that what everyone does?
Especially since, even in exceptional cases like the billiard room, smoking could disturb many non-smokers in a place like this.
And I was one of those non-smokers.
‘On top of that, throwing cigarette butts into the sea?’
Where did he learn such barbaric behavior?
‘Should I give him a good push from behind?’
In the moment of consideration, the man abruptly turned around, shouting loudly. He seemed so surprised that he even dropped the cigarette he was smoking.
“Ah, be surprised! Are you a ghost? Why are you in such a place as a servant? If you’re a servant, go do your job properly!”
Oh, he even cursed.
This was exactly what Charlotte was worried about.
Since I knew that such a thing would happen anyway, I wasn’t particularly angry or surprised.
