CHAPTER 65

"I can say that you are in love with Mr. Killian, my lady and I was very happy that the relationship between the two of you is getting better these days. . . . But today I saw Ms. Lizzy and Mr. Killian went out together alone. . . ."

"Ahh. . . ."

"Why. . . . did you let them go out alone together?"

I felt a little more joy, about the fact that Anna was happy that my relationship with Killian had improved. But it looks like Anna is looking anxious again after Lizzy and Killian went out together today.

"What can I do. . . . ."

"But my lady, you are Mr. Killian's wife, and even though they have been lived together like brother and sister for a long time, Ms. Lizzy shouldn't go out with a married man. . . . No, forget that, just pretend you didn't hear it my lady"

I was a little amused to think that Anna must have seen too.

"killian. . . . He's not someone who will do irresponsible things. That person must be in love with Lizzy, but as long as he wants to continue this marriage with me, he will never make a scandal with Lizzy."

"It's not that I don't trust Mr. Killian my lady. Rather than that. . . I really don't understand you my lady."

It was understandable. What a strange owner I am to Anna.

"Maybe I'm a little pathetic and weird in your eyes, but to be honest, I do this for a living, that's all."

I just grinned. But Anna looked at me with complicated gaze.

"Do you love Mr. Killian?"

". . . . . Yeah. I love him."

Maybe it's something that i can't confess to Killian.

"How could i not love him?"

A mysterious man. Even though he says a cold word, he secretly takes care of me and protects me. That the man he is. A man who was dazzlingly beautiful, awakened a passion within me that I had not known, and called me 'my wife', the daughter of a political opponent. Even if someone other than me possessed Edith, they would have no choice but to fall for him like Edith in the original did.

"But why are you giving way to Miss Lizzy?"

"It's not a concession. concession is a word you use when you want it, too."

"Yes. . . . ?"

"Lizzy doesn't want Killian. If she did, she must have been clinging to him when she found out the news of marriage between me and Killian. If she had droop a single tears in front Killian, Killian would have defeated anyone, whether he was a duke or not, and tried to get Lizzy."

But Lizzy blessed our marriage. Because the male lead given to her was Cliff, not Killian.

"She might be chosen master Cliff."

Anna nodded to see if she had read my thoughts. But soon, he sneered and murmured.

"But these days, Miss Lizzy seems always looking for Master Killian."

"Huh?"

"Oh, nothing!"

"No, I won't be angry, so tell me."

Anna, who was relaxed, was clearly resenting herself now. However, Anna hesitated and murmured because she could not pick up what she had already said.

"It's strange these days, Lady Lizzy seems to be nice toward Master Killian."

"Lizzy, she used to be like that."

"Well, that's true, but she been visiting Master Killian a lot these days. Of course, there's no way that master Killian will behave dishonestly!"

Anna's face showed signs of disappointment. She probably thinks it's a mistake to say something like this. Maybe my efforts to the extras were finally paying off now.

"I know. But since when did the 'these days' you just mentioned earlier have been started?"

"That's it. . . . . I think it's since the day when the young miss and the master Killian went to see the opera."

It feels strange that it was the day after the level 2 stage exception conditions were met.

"May i know why you thought so?"

"Actually. . . . . Miss Lizzy visited Master Killian room late at night, but she didn't stay long. However, it's strange because she stopped by wearing a sexy nightgown that she not normally wear at that time. . . . ."

If she has something to say, she can do it the next morning. If it was an important matter, she would have ordered a maid. But It was a little strange that she had to visit Killian at night on her own.

"And it seems after that day on, I often saw both of them always together. They used to meet each other often before, but unlike before, this time Miss Lizzy recently visited master Killian."

I wonder if something is going on? Or is she trying to stop Killian from escaping his original role character due to her setting to have Killian as the sub male lead.

"I thought that if the young miss loved young master Killian, you would prevent him from going out together, Miss Lizzy."

I laughed a little at the words.

"Anna. As you know, I don't have the right to do that."

"But master Killian has changed these days!"

"It's true that Killian has been visiting me a lot lately. But I'm not sure if it's because he has a crush on me or if it's too spying on me. Well, it doesn't matter anyway."

It was true. I would be grateful if he had a crush on me, but it was okay if his just spying on me. Whatever it , i felt good because i was able to see him.

"Thank you for telling me anyway, Anna. You must have had a lot of worries about whether to talk it or not."

Anna's face turned red. It was quite significant that Anna, whom I had thought she is a person belonging to the Ludwig family, gave me information that only she knew. That meant Anna finally became my personal maid.

***

Anna was the daughter of a fallen baron. Her uncle Baron Sawtell was a man who had a decent personality enough to take pity to his brother's daughter and took her in after her father died violently after falling into a gambling. But he had no talent for making money. However, thanks to his good personality and his sincerity, he participated in the count's business and received a monthly salary. But Baron sawtell and his wife already had five children, so it was difficult for the entire of his family to make a living with the money. While Anna, who grew up watching everything from an early age about her father, fell because of gambling, she quickly noticed that even though she was an expressionless child.

"Aunt. I'm sorry, but could you help me to find a noble house that wants to hire a maid?"

As soon as Anna turned 14, she decided to get a job as a maid. Since she was in charge of housework from an early age, it's there's no problem if she works as a mind. But her uncle Baron Sawtell refused.

"You're still a baron bloodline, no matter what. Not a maid. But you want to be a maid!"

In the meantime, Baron sawtell, who had taught her a noble knowledge she needed without discriminating against his own children, loudly stated that he would also arrange a marriage for Anna. But Anna knew it. At this rate, everyone will be bogged down. She called out her troubled aunt separately and asked her again.

"Thank you so much for raising me. I'll leave a letter for my uncle, so please find a maid's job for me."

". . . . .Then, thank you, Anna."

Anna's path led her to become a maid to the count family, whom her aunt had introduced her to. Anna's life as a maid was hard, but she quickly earned a good reputation for her hard work. And sending half of her salary to the baron sorel and saving the rest. Anna lived dutifully. As a result, she is able to enter and work as a maid in Duke Ludwig's family. The Duke and Duchess of Ludwig liked Anna a lot because of her personality, who was silent, sincere, sensible, and had the right values.

"Starting today, take care of Lizzy. She's a child with deep scars, so even if she's a little uncomfortable, she might not be able to speak. Take a good look at her and help her."

When a dazzlingly beautiful girl named Lizzy Sinclair came into the duke's house to live, it was also Anna who was selected as her first maid.

"You said Anna, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Lizzy Sinclair."

"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Lizzy."

Lizzy, who smiled like sunlight at Anna as she greeted her. It was so beautiful that she couldn't explain just in words. Anna continued to be the model maid she had always been, attentive to Lizzy's every whim and preparing her for any inconvenience before it happened. However, I noticed that Lizzy was too lucky because of her "delicately looking" life. I wasn't talking about an illegitimate child who abandoned her father in the eyes of the Duke couple and took her in living under the duke couple protection. Lizzy is literally just lucky. The day she tried to go out was necessarily the weather. The weather was always nice. The thing she was asking for was always there, and the situation was unusually good for her.

'It's a little. . . . .It's weird. How can a person be so this lucky?'

By the time she was thinking about that, Anna was suddenly assigned to another place.

"I'm sorry for changing your position so suddenly, Anna. But it's something that you've done before, so it won't be difficult, right?"

"Yes, ma'am ."

Before becoming a Lizzy maid, Anna is one of the duchess maids and works for her. And she had no regrets the things changed. But strangely enough, she felt a certain sense of distance from Lizzy. it was an instinct of Anna's, who had experienced various misfortunes from a young age. Because She'd never seen anyone as lucky as Lizzy. After a few years at the duke duchy, Anna was assigned as a maid to Edith, who is becoming Killian's wife.

"Anna. I'm trusting you with this. If Edith seems to be planning something or doing something weird, come and tell us. Even if Edith is doing something bad to you, you must report it."

The Duke Ludwig spoke with a firm voice as if he were sending his trusted knight to the battlefield. Anna wasn't very impressed by it, but she bowed her head quietly as always she does. But contrary to the Duke's fear, Edith was a very ordinary person. It seems that she has a gorgeous appearance and has been driving around quite a loud gossip, but she was quiet inside the duke's residence.
