“Hey!”
With a rude grip shaking her shoulder, Reina opened her eyes in surprise.
“What happened! Did you sleep? Did you sleep with Sir Arthur?!”
Startled, Reina sprung up from the bed.
The warm blanket slid off her body, letting the cold air touch her bare skin.
Huh? Bare skin?
“!”
Reina shrieked and pulled the blanket up to cover herself.
A maid with black hair who stood behind another maid, who was anxiously shifting from foot to foot, held her forehead as if sighing.
“What are you doing! Do you think Miss will let you off?!”
Reina’s face turned pale as she realized her situation.
My clothes. My clothes. Where did they go?
It was a fresh morning for the maid who woke up naked in Miss’s bedroom.
[This is the time separator]“You clean your body.”
Two maids anxiously placed down the tub and informed her.
……I also don’t want to show you my naked body.
Reina responded.
“Of course. Th…thank you. For bringing the tub…….”
……I stammered involuntarily.
I’m not in this situation because I want to be.
The thought that I’m in a place I shouldn’t be made me feel downcast.
The maids grumbled but erected a screen around the tub, then sat away from Reina, who was sitting on the bed, and turned their backs.
“…….”
Reina confirmed that the back of their heads weren’t moving, then quickly got off the bed and hopped towards the screened area.
And then she hastily checked her body.
‘Right? It is, isn’t it?!’
Unconsciously, Reina let out a sigh of relief.
‘There was nothing!’
Only the corset was missing and the body was clean.
If something had happened, she wouldn’t be in this fluffy state.
From her experience five years ago, Reina was almost certain that nothing had happened between her and Sir Arthur last night.
And at the same time, she tore at her hair with her eyes shaking anxiously.
……I was definitely having a debutante ball, right?
‘I can’t remember.’
I remember waving my hands all night till dawn.
I received the warmed wine and drank it…… but I can’t remember what happened after that.
What happened after that?
Why am I here?
Where did my dress and corset go, how did I get into this bedroom and end up sleeping here, I can’t remember anything……
“…….”
Wait, bedroom?
Suddenly feeling nauseous, Reina stiffly raised her head and surveyed her surroundings.
“…….”
The black carpet embroidered with gold thread, the chandelier on the ceiling, the fluttery curtains, and the highend fireplace. The familiar paintings hung on the wall and luxurious ornaments.
And the familiar furniture arrangement…….
Because Reina had been assigned to clean and prepare this room for over a month, she knew where she was.
This is……
‘This is Miss and Sir Arthur’s bridal chamber!’
She felt lightheaded and her entire body broke out in goosebumps.
The voice of the maid who was anxiously pacing echoed in her ears.
[This is the time separator]Arthur crossed his legs and lit the end of a cigar.
On his right, Duke Julius and his wife sat with indescribable expressions.
And ‘Rembrandt Eton von Klein’, a man who occupied the spot opposite him, after the surname.
He was the nephew of the Empress.
The Duke and his wife seemed to be quite attentive to him.
Arthur exhaled smoke to the side and chuckled indifferently.
“Did you have a peaceful night?”
“…….”
At the landlordlike greeting, the Duke’s complexion changed red and blue.
‘Is this your house? You insolent kid!’
If it weren’t for Lord Rembrandt, he would have shouted.
Arthur continued calmly.
“I heard that you came early in the morning. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. As you know, after digesting the debutante ball last night, I came in at dawn, so my waking time was late.”
Arthur brought the cigar to his lips again and smiled.
“In fact, I’m not used to receiving this much attention. I’m sorry for not delivering news that would attract your attention faster due to my negligence over the past years.”
The words had a sting to them.
The interpretation was as follows.
The voice flowed smoothly.
“I didn’t expect such undue attention. I was taken aback by the sudden and overflowing sincerity. I am grateful to the elders of the family for welcoming me with such generosity.”
That was the interpretation.
The duke tightened his face, conscious of Lord Kevrant sitting across the table.
The duchess recalled the events of the early morning, clutching the trembling tea cup in her hand.
