But it’s just a maid’s earnings.

It was hard to pour it out in front of him for some reason.

“Is the weekly wage 30 gold?”

“…..Yes?”

Reina was baffled by Arthur’s question.

Is it a joke? Even if you don’t know the price.

No matter how rich you are, it is not that a maid’s weekly wage is 30 gold.

Then Reina would have bought about ten beach houses a long time ago.

“No, it’s an annual salary.”

“…..?”

This time, Arthur had a bewildered face.

Arthur really didn’t know.

He frowned as if he didn’t have a sense, and asked.

“Salary? Then what is the weekly wage?”

Reina answered.

“About 50 silver. With other small allowances and food expenses, it can be close to 60 silver at most.”

“…..”

Arthur had a blocked face.

“…Wasn’t Julius said to give the most generous salary in the Empire?”

“Yes, it’s correct.”

Arthur narrowed his eyes and asked as if doubting his ears.

“…Is that a generous salary?”

Does it feel low to Lord Arthur?

Reina answered flustered.

“Yes. It’s generous. Typically, a mansion maid of my age gets a weekly wage of about 20 silver. Compared to other places, it’s almost two or three times the salary.”

“…..”

Reina was puzzled by Arthur’s incomprehensible expression.

It was a truly generous weekly wage.

And Reina was in a state of having received a promise that she would give double the weekly wage if she hid well and did not catch his eye.

So it was decided to receive 1 gold every week.

How many maids receive gold every week?

Usually, one gold is barely enough for a month’s worth of work.

You have to spend on living expenses.

However, the unprecedented salary of receiving gold every week was a windfall that only existed in Reina’s special circumstances.

In fact, 60 silver a week was by no means a small amount.

It was a treatment that could be the subject of envy among maids.

“…..”

Arthur was just looking at Reina and there was no answer.

Apparently, Lord Arthur really seemed to have no sense of price because he had been on the battlefield for five years.

I felt cautious as if I spoke too much about the life of a maid that I didn’t know,

But the thought of helping him, who didn’t know the ordinary price due to the war, made Reina speak up a bit more.

“……In an average mansion, you have to be a senior footman or a veteran chef to receive that salary. So Julius’ mansion is really generous to the maids. They don’t usually pay that kind of salary to a maid in her early 20s. Unless she’s a professional maid serving the lady…”

Of course, Mrs. Hurst would receive a much higher salary…

Reina quietly added.

“……Julius wants a maid who keeps her mouth shut and never quits, and in return, she gives a really generous salary. After receiving such a salary, you usually can’t think of quitting and looking for a job elsewhere.”

“…..”

Reina knew that the work of the Julius mansion was not easy.

But it was a fact that there was no job like Julius for a maid in need of money.

Reina quietly told the truth.

“Ultimately, it’s a generous weekly wage that helps endure the hard work. After all, if you’re unlucky, going to another mansion could be very tough. The probability of encountering a terrible master is the same everywhere… Then, naturally, a place that offers more money for sure is better. That’s why Julius’ mansion is a coveted job among maids.”

I genuinely thought that was Julius’ virtue.

Marina continued to speak.

“That’s why everyone is tightlipped and, despite the harsh work, they hang on tenaciously. We don’t even take in maids who seem unable to endure long. This job… is not easy to get into. Probably the second hardest after getting into the palace might be Julius’ mansion.”

When initially hired, a confidentiality agreement was also written so that you could not leave at will…

In reality, the high wage was a bigger reason for enduring and not leaving.

Probably the same for the other maids.

Anyway, Julius’ mansion, the top conglomerate on the continent, was a job people wanted to enter but couldn’t.

No matter how fierce the internal situation was, it looked like that from the outside.

Besides hiring only tightlipped, highlevel maids, the only known thing was the high salary.

Brodie had a complicated expression on his face.

“……”

Ah, come to think of it, my wage, it’s not double.

The new promise of the dowager, which I had forgotten, came to mind belatedly.

Marina was promised ten times her weekly wage in return for executing the dowager’s orders.

Then it’s five gold coins a week.

“……”

I remembered being surprised at the time whether such a wage was possible, but when I heard that I would send Taylor to my grandmother, I completely forgot.

Five gold in a week. Then it was 20 gold in a month.

Marina suddenly felt the enormity of the promised amount.

It must be the reward for such a dangerous task…

“You.”

Suddenly, Brodie called her.

Marina suddenly stared at him.

Brodie gazed at Marina longingly.

“Listening to that, I’m thinking… it might be possible for me to… buy you out now.”

“……?”

Brodie continued to speak.

“……I will give you that money. No, I will give you 30 gold as a salary. Then, will you become my person?”
