Chapter 116: 116

Ella remembered what Didi had said. He said the effect differs depending on what the person thought of her beforehand. Beed was evidence of the buff’s existence. This was a moment where Ella was like a knight, a former commoner, who is very loyal to Constance. If he, who had almost never seen Ella closely, reacted so fiercely, it was easy to see what the other knights would do. Luciella was especially close with knights.

‘This is almost scary.’

After looking at the guest’s privileges that Didi had talked about, it felt even more burdening. While she was getting worried that maybe she would drown in a sea of burdens, Beed’s fellow knights returned.

“Are you okay, milady? This fool was madly in love with the milady for so long, so he’s abnormal. But he won’t die from this, so don’t worry too much. Hey, Beed! Wake up, will you? Are you even breathing?”

Hearing his fellow knight’s description of him, Beed couldn’t speak and just opened and closed his mouth. He made a few moves trying to stop his friend from speaking, but he failed every time.

“H-hey! You shouldn’t say all that! Milady! It’s- er- it’s not like I like you- I mean, I do- but. Uh.”

Beed’s face became so red that it almost looked like it was going to explode. His fellow knights looked at him teasingly. They seemed more interested in teasing their friend than Ella.

‘Huh? They’re not acting the same.’

Although they were commoners as well, they were different from Beed. To them, Ella was just a daughter of the family that they serve. That clear difference in attitude saved her from a sea of burdens. Her relieved giggle filled the area.

After leaving them, Ella returned safely to the mansion. As soon as she got back to her room, she took a spot on her bed and ordered an extremely sweet dessert from Maylin. Maylin looked at her with a worried look on her face as Ella seemed to be acting very strange these days.

“It’s not over just because your debutante is over, milady. You have a party to attend tomorrow. You can’t keep eating in your bedroom! That day was a special occasion. Please don’t even think of trying something like this anymore! I’m scared to think if somebody finds out about this!”

She was a nanny for sure. There was no one who could nag at Ella like this. But she wasn’t in the mood to listen to Maylin right now. She was on the verge of dying out of hunger. Ever since she came into this world, she has had three meals each day. Although she didn’t eat many desserts to keep her weight low, she still had enough desserts from time to time.

But today, Ella couldn’t even drink a sip of water while talking with Didi. She didn’t feel hungry because of that unique space. However, ever since she ate that piece of pie, her body began to express severe hunger. Her stomach danced welcomingly at the food that came into her body in a while. But she was dragged out before she could satisfy it.

‘And that pie was extremely delicious. It’s all Xyle’s fault,’ thought Ella. The small piece of cookie she munched on like a gentle lady while she was waiting at the outpost was only fuel to a fire. Literally, her entire body was craving food.

“Maylin. I’m very hungry right now. I couldn’t eat anything since I left this morning. I think I’m going to die at this rate. If you stop me from eating now, I’ll eat you instead. I mean it.”

“Oh, my! Milady, what are you- Hold on a second. I’ll get something to eat right now. I’ll bring you some milk first.”

Maylin was more surprised that Ella had nothing since this morning than her threat of eating her and hurried outside. She had to go by herself as Smila and Mari left in order to clean up the clothes that Ella had left on the floor after taking them off.
