Chapter 5: His Highness’ Secret Accountant C

She knew, just from her expression. That woman did not like her very much.

Ayla frowned. She didn't bother to avoid Rose's gaze, which was fixated on herself.

"You have big guts to say you are the daughter of Jaden Serdian. I will let it go, but if you have the same attitude in front of others, your life may be at risk."

"…"

"Do not forget your position. You are no longer a noblewoman. Miss Ayla Serdian."

Ayla was unable to find an answer to Rose's words, so she lowered her gaze.

"I will be more careful…"

That she is no longer a noblewoman. The words of warning were deeply stuck in her heart.

***

The job of a low-rank maid was simple in itself, but it was not easy for the noble Ayla Serdian.

She couldn't even count how many plates she broke while doing the dishes for the first time in her life.

‘You mean you broke these many plates while doing just one thing?!’

The sharp, senior maid's voice still seemed to ring in her ears.

Thanks to this, she was able to do relatively easy things like cleaning and laundry, but the mistakes were endless.

"Well, someday you will get used to it. "

Two silhouettes were reflected next to Ayla, who was mopping.

The ladies, who appeared to be from the nobility, excitedly exchanged a conversation, as if they had not seen Ayla.

"Did you say that among the low-rank maids who came in this time, there was the esteemed daughter of Count Serdian?"

"Count? What count. She's not an esteemed daughter now, she's worse than ordinary people."

"Well, I heard he put his hands on the treasury and left his daughter behind? He really has no conscience."

"Exactly. She's just a fallen noble, completely stripped of her title and wealth."

"I heard she also caused trouble. I heard that kid was the one who burned all the laundry last night?"

"Where did such a nuisance come from… The head maid must be very upset."

"By the way, I heard that the new Grand Duke will be staying at the west palace this time. Who is he… I'm looking forward to it!!"

Ayla, holding the mop, clenched her fists with strength.

***

"From tomorrow, you will attend Grand Duke Owen Arrot, who will be staying in the west palace."

"What? But I do chores… I'm a low-rank maid."

Rose continued, without answering Ayla's words.

"The Grand Duke has lived outside the palace for a long time, so the palace life will be difficult for him. Miss Ayla is still from a noble birth, so I recommend that you help him."

"But still, without discussing it with me…"

"The schedule chart will be brought to you by the maid in charge. Please, do your best."

It was obvious that Rose had overestimated herself too much.

No, there is something wrong.

For her, who breaks plates and burns laundry, to attend the Grand Duke…

In the case of Grand Dukes, they were at the very least princes or relatives of His Majesty.

"Yesterday you told me to forget my status, and now you're talking about my noble birth?"

Ayla, frowning heavily, went back to her position, grumbling.

At the same time, her blue eyes widened.

The floor, which was shining with cleanliness, had black footprints all over.

At the unbelievable sight, Ayla's face turned red in an instant.

Looking around, angry, Ayla set eyes on the target.

The sight of the man walking away while leaving black footprints made the corners of Ayla's mouth rise with bitterness.

‘You little… That's where you are.'

Soggy clothes and an instrument case worn over the shoulder.

The man's appearance was shabby, and it did not fit the magnificent Royal Palace at all.

Ayla, huffing, stood behind the man and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Excuse me. Mr. Court musician?

"What?! Me?"

The man quickly turned his body to the strange touch he felt on his shoulder.

The blonde, young-looking man's distinguished appearance and handsome features definitely stood out.

Of course, the dirty floor was more important to her, so she could not help but not care about that at all.

"Yes. Who else is here but you? It looks like it is your first time in the palace, but this is not a place anyone can enter. Moreover, those shoes!! I don't know what you're here for, but I think it's better if you leave."
