“What do you think? Isn’t that weird?”

“It’s not strange . You’re very beautiful . ”

“Thank you, Emma . If you say so, then that would be it . ”

In front of Emma, Mielle, who acted like the perfect child, smiled shyly . Emma responded with a gentle smile after seeing this . They looked much more like a mother and daughter compared to Aria and her mother .

Emma was like a mother to Mielle . Emma, who had been with Mielle since birth, had relentlessly removed anything that blocked Mielle’s path .

Emma was originally a lower aristocrat . Unfortunately, however, her husband had died leaving behind a huge amount of debt and could not pay back all of her debts even after disposing of her noble title . The trauma led her to have a miscarriage, and she tried to give up her life in grief over losing everything .

And it was the former countess who had happened to save her . She had brought Emma to the mansion of the Roscent family and allowed her to live a new life as her own maid .

But whether it was a trick of fate, Heaven took the former countess from Emma . She had lost her life while giving birth to Mielle . Therefore, it might have been inevitable that she had begun to take care of Mielle on behalf of the former countess .

The only thing she had was Mielle . She had vowed tens of thousands of times to keep Mielle no matter what happened . And that could have happened if it had not been for the dirty mother and daughter who had crawled into the Roscent family . Ever since the day they had come in the mansion of the count, Emma had cursed the mother and daughter every day for the happiness of her precious Mielle .

—

Thinking that she could meet Oscar soon, Mielle was staring out of the wagon’s window with a light humming sound, and she turned around to Emma as if she had suddenly recalled something .

“… So what happened to the wagon driver? What’s the name of the driver who was kicked out of the mansion?”

“You mean Elect?”

He was a driver who was fired because of Aria the other day .

“Oh, I guess that’s his name . It’s been a while since he got kicked out, and I’m worried . How is he?”

“I’ve taken good care of him so that there would be no complaints from him . ”

“What about the other driver?”

“I found another job for Yagi . I’m sure cleaning the stable was a lot of trouble . ”

“Emma is a friendly person as expected . ”

Mielle laughed softly . It was a sweet, fragrant smile like her name . “You are a lovely woman who gives your kindness to even a mere wagon driver,” Mielle added .

“I’m a little scared of Aria these days . ”

“Are you scared of her?”

“Since last summer… she’s been acting like she’s changed, but she kept breaking my heart . ”

“… miss . ”

Emma’s heart ached because of the dark cloud over Mielle’s face, who should have a fresh smile like a flower . Since Aria had suddenly got Oscar’s attention, Emma had meant to scare her with the drivers, but the wicked, vulgar b*tch had cajoled the prostitute and ruined her job .

She had even warned the employees of the mansion by pretending to be on trial for a trivial matter . Even though she thought of it again, she burst into anger and clenched her fists . The noble and prestigious family of Count Roscent was being messed up by the dirty prostitute mother and daughter .

“I will make sure that such matters won’t bother you anymore . ”

“Really?”

“Yes . I even put Annie on her . ”

“Yes, Annie…”

—

Annie, who she had put next to Aria, had been a child who admired, respected and envied Mielle . She had been always busy praising Mielle because she had brainwashed her on how noble Mielle was since she was just a child who had come to the mansion of the Roscent family .

She had been also relatively easy to deal with because of her vanity and desire for things . When she had promised to take the position of a head maid, she had even announced that she would gather information from Aria .

“Can the child really do well? She seems pretty close to Aria these days . ”

“You don’t have to worry . She’s trying to keep a close relationship and beguiles Aria now . ”

“… really?”

For that, but… Mielle blurred her words . In fact, even as Emma looked at her, Annie seemed to be too close to Aria, so she was a little worried . Emma tried to ease Mielle’s worries, thinking that she needed to remind Annie of the future that she could promise her .

“Yes . I even told her how awful young ladies who attended the meeting are . I also told her that Aria is busy decorating her face by staying in her room every day . Maybe it’s because she looks like her mother . ”

“I hope so…”

“Don’t worry . When Annie gets a little more settled down, I’ll add another maid . She’s much smarter than Annie, and she’s going to drive that bitch into hell . ”

“Yes, that’s a good idea . Emma, you have the same mind as me . ”

“That’s great!”

While talking about this and that, the carriage slowed down and stopped smoothly .

After arranging her outfits and waiting in the carriage for a moment, there was a knock on the smart wagon outside . When she got off the wagon, Princess Frederick smiled brightly and welcomed Mielle .

“Mielle!”

“Miss Isis!”

Isis, who was different from Oscar but had a softer line than him, always excited Mielle’s heart because she reminded her of Oscar as a boy .

With her black hair in braids, she was as beautiful as the goddess in the myth . In admiration of her beauty, Mielle bent her knees and greeted her politely . In response, Isis also welcomed her with a face-to-face greeting .

“How long has it been? I couldn’t attend the party on your last birthday because I was busy . I’m so sorry . ”

“No! I was so happy that you sent me a present . The book was so interesting and fun that I stayed up all night reading it . ”

“Well, that’s a good thing! I thought you’d love it if you were Lady Mielle . ” Isis took Mielle’s hand . “Come in! A new chef has prepared some great food . It’s enough to make me eat with a short mouth . ”

“Oh, how delicious is it? I’m really looking forward to it . ”

As they continued their conversation, the two ladies, who held hands together, slowly headed for the dining hall with a gentle and graceful gait . Perhaps Isis’s words were not false, but all the prepared food was to Mielle’s taste, and it made her hands always relaxed and leisurely, a little but quick .

Nevertheless, because she couldn’t eat enough, Mielle left the food in moderation and looked around her surroundings . The quick-witted Isis noticed the reason for her action and soon gave Mielle the answer that she wanted .

“I wanted to spend some time alone with Lady Mielle, so I informed Oscar ahead of time . ”

“Then he must be on his way now . ”

“I’m sure he is . I’m sure he’ll be here before we know it while we are having a cup of tea . ”

“I’m always having fun talking to Miss Isis, so he will come any moment now . ”

The conversation Mielle had with Isis was not just empty words; it was really fun . Most of their conversation was about Oscar because after talking to Mielle, Oscar’s attitude had changed a little .

Of course, Mielle hadn’t given too much kindness or care to him, but small gifts had been sent in . He had said that he was sorry that he couldn’t contact her properly because he had been busy, and he had enclosed a letter .

And today… she was hoping for something a little bigger than it had been before… For example, her engagement with Oscar, which she had mentioned briefly in the previous letter .

“Would he be busy with his graduation exam?”

“Maybe so . ”

Isis, who replied and recalled Oscar’s face, smiled softly with a friendly sister’s face .

“He’s the type who’s struggling to put an end to it even though he’s already perfect . So he looks so lonely . ”

“But… he’s always nice . ”

The pressure would be great as it would not be long before he would get enormous power on his back . He didn’t want to miss a little thing . That was why he tried to work day and night . So even though he had been careless with himself, Mielle still liked him .

“If so, that’s a good thing . If he could look good to Lady Mielle, everything would be OK . He doesn’t have to look good on women other than you . ”
