It had been a month since I became Eileen.

I was currently cleaning the windows.

This is the daily routine of a nanny:

Wake up early and prepare breakfast.

After feeding the children well, watch them play, clean the dirty palace, and do the laundry.

Then it’s lunchtime again, prepare meals, prepare snacks, and then…

‘Housewives are truly great beings.’

The schedule packed without room to breathe was maddening.

‘If there’s anyone who mocks the labor of housewives…’

Crunch.

I stepped on a thin, dry twig.

‘Shall we start slowly?’

Tools are necessary for labor.

The place I headed to was Eileen’s room.

‘It’s luxurious no matter when I see it.’

The cabinet was filled with all sorts of expensive items, and the jewelry box was full of gems she had collected so far.

These were things Eileen had bought by diverting funds from the imperial support.

But the purpose of coming here now wasn’t for jewelry.

I pulled out the box hidden under the bed.

“Let’s see. Mop and cleaning cloth… Ah, found it. Cleaner.”

These were modern cleaning tools.

Only after gathering everything needed did I feel a sense of dissonance.

“This doesn’t match at all.”

A medieval lady’s room and super-strong cleaner.

“Who would have thought this would really work.”

I glanced at the modern items.

The Ottogi soup I used this morning, the blueberry bagel, all of them were things I brought from the dream mart.

Every night when I dream, I always wake up in the middle of a mart.

‘Kyuu-!’

‘Hayang!’

I’ve become quite used to being greeted by the white fluffball I named Hayang.

I hugged Hayang and roamed the mart.

‘What I’ve figured out so far.’

1. I can only bring one item at a time.
2. Only items I can carry or hold in my hand are possible.
3. Items from this world cannot be taken to the mart.

‘That’s about it, I guess.’

I transferred the cleaner to a glass bottle and left the room.

‘Have to feed them every meal, there’s so much to clean, dust keeps accumulating.’

There really was no time to stretch my back.

The one fortunate thing was.

“Lady Eileen, I’ve finished cleaning the east corridor windows!”

A maid with light green hair tied in a ponytail ran towards me.

It was Emma, the new maid in the Cold Palace.

The day after dismissing the maids, I ran to the palace personnel department to request new staff.

‘They said something about not having personnel to spare for such a place.’

How dirty and petty.

That’s when Emma caught my eye.

Emma was skinny and being bullied among the maids.

When I looked at her, the palace personnel department smirked and said I could take that maid if I wanted.

Saying she would fit right in at that palace.

‘Saying she’s incompetent, stupid, and a troublemaker.’

I ended up bringing Emma along.

But contrary to my worries, Emma was meticulous, smart, and kind to the twins.

‘She looked pale when she came, but now her expression is bright.’

I wonder if it’s natural since there’s no one bullying her here.

It was a relief to see her looking more comfortable.

“Good job. Let’s clean the floor together.”

It was time to polish the corridor with the cleaner.

“I’ve never seen such a shiny corridor before! The palace I was in was clean too, but it didn’t shine like this!”

Seeing Emma’s admiration made me feel proud too.

As expected, cleaning products made by Ph.D.s putting their heads together were different in some way.

“It’s worth the effort.”

It was a bit tiring, but if I couldn’t bring tools from the mart, it would have been real hard labor.

‘I need to get rid of this ghost house appearance soon.’

It was nice that cleaning was easy, but the palace was too large.

There’s still a long way to go before it looks like a place where people live.

‘It’s fortunate Emma is here.’

But even with two people, the work was still overwhelming.

The reason I can endure despite this is…

“Eileen! Emma!”

Tap tap tap. The cheerful footsteps of a child echoed in the corridor.

Louis, who came running quickly, suddenly hugged me tightly.

“Hello, both of you!”

“Prince Louis, did you have fun playing?”

“Yes! I climbed trees!”

“I know you’re good at it, but you still need to be careful, okay?”

“Of course!”

His brightly smiling face now had some meat on it.

“I’ll pick some apples for Eileen later!”

Louis smiled brightly at me.

That sunny smile made it seem like the whole world was smiling.

‘Cute. Cute. Cute!’

People of the world! Our prince is this cute!

The chubby cheeks and the cute, pretty, and lovable face, the lively voice befitting a child, it was all too cute.

I suppressed the urge to grab and shake those plump cheeks.

“Really? I’m so looking forward to it!”

“Yes! So I need to practice more!”

Louis jumped up and down on the spot and then ran back the way he came.

His innate blonde hair made the back of his head shine and glitter.

‘They say it’s the symbol of the Rihart royal family.’

The Rihart royal family was characterized by jewel-like hair and eye colors, and beautiful appearances for generations.

Sensing my gaze, Louis turned back and grinned.

“Be careful!”

“Okay!”

When I waved my hand, the child started running again.

I kept Louis in my sight for a long time as he moved away.

‘To think such a cute child becomes the villain.’

Louis was so bright that it was hard to believe the contents of the book.

‘At times like this, I resent Eileen.’

The owner of this body is still silent.

Just as I was about to turn around to finish the remaining work.

“Ahh!”

A scream naturally came out. Evan was standing behind me.

‘My heart almost fell out in broad daylight.’

I caught my breath and asked the child.

“Prince Evan? How long have you been here?”

Evan didn’t answer my question. He just stared at me with an expressionless face.

“Are you perhaps hungry…”

But as soon as I tried to speak, he disappeared immediately.

Just like now.

“He’s gone.”

Is it because of the vegetables I put under the fried egg this morning?

Louis eats well anything, but Evan was unexpectedly a vegetable-hating child.

‘But you need to eat a balanced diet.’

Although he was gaining weight, vegetables are still good for health.

While I was lost in thought, Emma spoke.

“Prince Evan seems like a difficult person.”

“He’s just shy. He’s actually a kind person.”

If Eileen hadn’t abused him, he could have grown up brighter.

‘But… if things continue like this, the future from the original work won’t happen.’

The twins who killed Eileen escape from the imperial palace and head to a civilian house.

The house they entered to hide was the home of the female protagonist, Elsius.

‘There was no problem until the twins and the female protagonist lived together peacefully, but…’

The real start was when Kashar appeared.

Kashar Bladis la Rihart.

The former crown prince who was deposed due to madness, and the mad dog of the empire who was granted a title for his war merits.

He was the second male lead of this world.

‘Kashar collapsed in front of the female protagonist’s house.’

Kashar collapses in a civilian house due to side effects of a drug.

The one who saved Kashar was the female protagonist.

‘Not only did she save Kashar who was on the verge of death, but she even cured his madness.’

It was a fateful encounter.

Until the temple took Elsius away.

‘Although it’s the end of a saint.’

The twins opposing the temple to reclaim Elsius, and Kashar to possess the woman who saved him, was the development part of the novel.

‘The reason why the twins are villains is because Elsius loses her memory.’

Of course it’s strange when unknown boys are obsessed with her.

Add to that the courtship of the male protagonist and the obsession of the second male lead Kashar, and it was a series of confusion.

Among the two charming characters, the man I was rooting for was…

‘The ultimate obsessive character among obsessive characters!’

It was Duke Kashar.

Blonde hair with red eyes. An arrogant, obsessive handsome man with a crazy muscular body.

‘It’s completely my type.’

There wasn’t a single aspect that wasn’t cool about his appearance, speech, and actions described in the book.

[Kashar brushed up his blonde hair that came down to his eyebrows. The moonlight illuminated his half-naked body. Elsius shrank at the sight of his rippling muscles. At this, red eyes captured Elsius. It was a beautiful possession named obsession.]

‘Whew, look at that description.’

Remembering Kashar from the original work, steam involuntarily blew out of my nose.

‘The trend is beast-like men, you know.’

Personally, I was hoping for a connection with Kashar, but Mikael, who had a pretty boy style, ended up getting Elsius.

‘As the second male lead, I wonder if I could meet him once.’

Blonde hair with red eyes. An arrogant, obsessive handsome man was always right.

I wiped the drool that was about to fall from the corner of my mouth.

‘Ah, another good daydream today.’

Handsome men were beings that gave me strength just by imagining them.

After doing household chores as usual and putting the children to bed the next day.

Before dawn broke, I came out early to do kitchen work.

‘For breakfast, it’s got to be soup.’

Boil the stock and prepare the vegetables. It was the process of making soup.

The ingredient preparation was almost complete.

I thought all I had to do now was boil it. If it weren’t for the intruder who suddenly appeared.

Crash-!

The sound of a pot breaking echoed throughout the Cold Palace.

“Ahhh, thief!”

With the scream, the intruder fell to the floor.

I grabbed my startled heart and took a breath.

‘I just wanted to make some food since I woke up early.’

An intruder was trying to break in through the back door.

It’s fortunate I quickly broke his head with a pot, it could have been a big problem otherwise.

‘What if he had gone into the kids’ room.’

This thief must be out of his mind too.

Why come to the Cold Palace where there’s nothing to steal.

“With that build, you should be doing honest work for the country.”

Of all things, a thief.

As I was clicking my tongue and looking down at the intruder, my nose started bleeding.

‘That body is insane.’

Although a thin shirt covered his body, excellent muscles couldn’t be hidden.

For a thief, his muscular body was fantastically good. Moreover, his backside view was perfect.

‘After all, for men, it’s about back muscles and buttocks.’

I gave a thumbs up.

‘Should I take a look at his face?’

I’d have to hand him over to the palace guards anyway, but I wanted to see the face of the thief I caught.

‘And those abs too…’

The moment I carefully turned the intruder over, I saw a work of art.

The neckline and collarbone visible through the unbuttoned buttons. The slightly visible thick chest. How harmonious these three elements were.

My gaze traveled up the man’s body.

Not just the body, but the face too.

‘Handsome. Handsome. Handsome. A+++ handsome man.’

The handsome man radar inside me was sounding alarms.

‘Blonde hair and fair skin. Look at that nose bridge. How can a person’s features be so harmonious? And that jawline and neckline.’

It was admiration for a beautiful work of art.

The praise for the first handsome man I’ve seen since being possessed was short-lived.

‘…But, blonde hair?’

As far as I knew, in the Rihart Empire, only the royal family had blonde hair.

I felt a chill. Wondering if it might be a wig, I pulled the man’s hair, but it was 100% natural.

‘And he’s excessively handsome.’

Like, a very important person.

An ominous feeling welled up. To grasp the situation, I forcibly pulled up the intruder’s eyelids.

The eyes visible between the flesh were eerily red.

‘No way.’

In the original work, there was only one handsome man with blonde hair and red eyes.

“Wow, what should I do now.”

The intruder whose head I cracked with a pot was the obsessive second male lead of this novel.
