I glanced around briefly.
Above everyone’s heads, frozen as if turned to stone, seemed to appear question marks.
Among them, the expressions of Philip and Marlboro were quite something to see.
Laila, who was nestled in my arms, trembled like a rabbit caught by a lion.
‘Oh my, the situation is serious. But after renewing my image today, it will be okay if I do well, right?’
I hoped so and thought about the event that I would encounter with Laila.
Afterwards, Ellen’s antics were as follows:
Tonight, that is, at 3 o’clock tomorrow morning, she turns over the bedroom of a newlywed couple who were splashing water while claiming she saw a thief.
‘Hmm, this one can be done without doing anything…’
And the day after tomorrow, Laila invites friends of various statuses to a tea party in the garden.
Of course, Ellen makes a spectacular mess there, but I will behave differently.
‘Okay, Laila, so take it easy today and rest. See you at the tea party.’
I lightly tapped her shoulder, trying to muster the kindest smile. At the same time, the tiny goosebumps on Laila’s neck caught my eye, and a bitter smile escaped my lips.
‘At least you’re not scared enough to faint, right?’
I elegantly returned to Philip’s side. And I nodded to Marlboro, who was standing still like a stone.
“Marlboro, you should say hello when you come.”
He greeted us formally, looking flustered.
“I’ve returned. Father, Mother.”
Then Laila also split the hem of her dress and curtsied as if a butterfly was lightly landing.
“I’ve returned. Father, Mother.”
But Philip’s expression was blank. My sudden action must have been quite a shock. I elbowed Philip’s side.
“Hmm! Come on in.”
Only then did Philip warmly grasp his son’s hand and pat his back.
“Let’s go inside first. I have prepared good tea and pie in the drawing room.”
As Philip had said, freshly baked apple pie and tea were prepared on the white rug in the drawing room.
A maid poured tea into the teacups. The fragrant smell of tea spread throughout the drawing room with the warm steam.
After taking a brief respite with a cup of tea, the young couple soon called for the house steward, Domingo.
Domingo, his abundant white hair neatly combed, pushed in a moving wagon piled high with gifts.
He was an old butler, about a year from retirement. His son was to fill the vacancy after his retirement.
Domingo, who had always been loyal to the Count’s family, was the only one among the servants who was not afraid of Ellen. He was also the one who took her tantrums in stride.
Sadly, he did not survive until retirement. He died after three accidents.
The first was when he went to buy camellia oil for his hair and was beaten up badly by a bluemasked robber.
Because of that, Domingo spent three months in the hospital with a broken leg.
The second accident happened only a few days after his discharge.
The day he went to meet a courier to deliver a letter Laila was sending to the kingdom of Perdes, Domingo was hit by an excited horse in front of the tavern.
He pushed Laila away in a split second, but broke both his ankles and was again bedridden.
The third was after the king’s death.
The Chancellor came to officially announce the former king’s successor, and a brief skirmish broke out in the royal garden.
That was the end for Domingo. He was caught in the fray and died.
At that time, Ellen snorted that the nosy old man had died well, then drank herself silly that night, and what happened with Sir Mild…
“Oh.”
Although the circumstances of the supporting characters and extras were not described in detail, in context, that’s how the incident went.
Domingo coughed awkwardly a few times, unable to hide his surprise as he looked at me, stunned.
“Why are you like this, Madam?”
His gentle voice made my heart waver.
‘It would be strange to talk about the future, wouldn’t it?’
It couldn’t be helped. Even though I don’t know how the end will be, I should try to avoid the danger as much as possible. It’s common sense.
“Domingo, be careful on the day you go to buy Camellia oil.”
“…Yes?”
“You will encounter a robber with a blue mask. Either order the Camellia oil through a deliveryman, or take a bodyguard with you.”
Domingo seemed somewhat surprised.
“And be careful in front of the tavern when you go to meet the messengers from the Kingdom of Laila and Perdus.”
“Yes?”
Domingo’s eyes widened.
“If an excited horse runs into you, you’ll break both ankles. So be careful.”
He looked bewildered, glancing his eyes left and right. Then he gave a gentle smile.
“I will keep that in mind. Thank you.”
He seemed incredulous, but polite. But if my words proved right, he would be more careful, so I said.
“So when are you going to buy the Camellia oil?”
Domingo answered promptly.
“I have a reservation to pick it up from Lady Hades’ boutique three days from now.”
“A reservation?”
“Isn’t the Camellia oil from the Linore merchant of the Bourbon Kingdom considered the best? The new product arrives first at Lady Hades’ boutique.”

really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
