Nelia nodded and he smiled before sitting in front of her.
“Pleasure to meet you.”
“Yes……. nice to meet you.”
She had no idea who he was.
When Nelia looked at him with wary eyes, the man awkwardly cleared his throat.
“I’m late to introduce myself. I’m Liam Clint, a cousin of Duke Hart.”
“Oh…… yes.”
“You can call me Viscount Clint.”
Viscount Clint flashed a refreshing smile.
‘He’s a viscount and looks young too.’
Like Duke Hart, it was surprising that everyone inherited their titles at such a young age.
Of course, it was probably because they were capable.
A voice that sounded uncomfortable from the door then caught her attention.
“Viscount Clint, the Duke had ordered that Nelia should not meet anyone else.”
Viscount Clint responded nonchalantly.
“I’ll talk nicely, don’t worry.”
“That won’t do. Especially Viscount Clint, he said you absolutely cannot…”
“It’s fine. I’ll take responsibility, so, well.”
Having gotten up, Viscount Clint pushed Ton away who was standing by the door and firmly shut the door.
“Now the distraction is gone.”
Viscount Clint chuckled.
The more she looked at him, the more different he seemed from Duke Hart. He was much more active and energetic.
He did look similar in appearance, but the atmosphere was so different that it was surprising.
“I’ve heard a lot about you from the Duke. You’ve come here as a maid.”
“Yes, that’s right. But… you’ve heard a lot about me?”
Nelia tilted her head. Viscount Clint rolled his eyes for a moment and then laughed awkwardly.
“Ah, haha. I apologize. Let me correct myself. Not a lot, just a bit.”
“From Duke Hart?”
“There’s no one else in this mansion to talk about you except that guy. He lives alone, without any family.”
Nelia widened her eyes.
“Duke Hart lives alone here?”
“Yes, the Duke’s wife, the only family of Duke Hart, lives in the Duke’s territory.”
I see…….
In the original story, the family story of Duke Hart did not go into much detail.
was primarily about the male lead Carlos and the female lead Charlotte.
“So, in this spacious mansion, only Duke Hart and the servants live? I heard there are no other maids or servants.”
“That’s right. The chief servant was recently thrown out to…”
“Yes?”
As Viscount Clint stopped talking, Nelia asked.
But all he did was smile and shake his head.
“No, I was about to say that the chief servant has recently gone down to his hometown.”
“I’ve already heard about that…”
“I see.”
Viscount Clint again responded with a smile.
Viscount Clint was a person who laughed a lot. So was Duke Hart, but their nature was completely different.
The viscount’s laughter was somewhat playful.
As Nelia was sipping the tea that Ton had brought, there was again a commotion outside.
“Has Nelia arrived?”
“Yes. But, Viscount Clint is also with her. I told him clearly…….”
Ton seemed to be making excuses when he stopped talking.
Suddenly!
The master of this mansion soon appeared.
His silver eyes confirmed Nelia and then shifted to Viscount Clint who was beside her.
“Liam Clint.”
“The door to the parlor was open and Nelia was sitting there. I was bored waiting for you.”
Viscount Clint shrugged as if he had done nothing wrong.
Duke Hart walked up to Viscount Clint.
“Give it quickly and leave.”
It was Duke Hart’s chilly voice that she had not heard before.
“Just for having a chat, you’re kicking me out like this? I’m disappointed.”
“If you wish to leave, summon someone.”
Duke Hart leaned against the door and spoke.
“It would not do to show such discourtesy in front of Miss Nelia.”
Reluctantly, Clint, the Viscount, rose from his seat and handed something to Duke Hart.
‘What is that……?’
A small glass bottle contained something akin to a white pill.
However, once Duke Hart’s large palm encased the glass bottle, its contents were quickly concealed.
“Be sure to take it on time. Unless you want to suffer again.”
Duke Hart nodded his head.
While she hesitated to bid Clint farewell, he turned to face the door first.
“See you next time, Miss Nelia.”
“Yes, Viscount Clint.”
Thump!
Scarcely had Viscount Clint left the doorstep when the door shut.
“There should be no next time.”
Duke Hart’s voice was stern. Nelia felt embarrassed for no reason.
As she stared at the oddly empty teacup, Duke Hart’s voice rang out.
“He is too interested in my personal life. That’s why I did not want to let him see you unnecessarily.”
“Ah…… Yes.”
Nelia responded, her eyes darting around. Then she decided to ask a question that had been on her mind.
“My lord, I heard that there are no other maids here besides me. Is that true……?”
“Yes. There was a recent incident, so I let them all go.”
She wanted to ask what had happened, but she didn’t, thinking that it couldn’t be a good thing if it led to everyone being dismissed.
“I have never worked as a maid before, so I may be inexperienced. And if there’s no one to teach me……”
Maybe it would be better to look for someone else right now……
She hoped Duke Hart could hear her inner thoughts.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
