It’s like the line the villain says when they leaves, guys.
Ophelia wanted to tell them that it was really a misunderstanding, but they had already left and became unable to speak.
“Ha, haha—”
There was only awkward silence in the store.
“It’s a misunderstanding”.
She barely spoke, but no one believed what Ophelia had said.
*****
On my way back home.
I didn’t feel a little good.
I’m sure I didn’t get misunderstood again today.
I really didn’t mean it, but that’s how things are made. It’s unfair.
Everything was done by Ophelia, so I can’t do anything about it—.
I thought I would raise my reputation, but if I go like this, I will hit the bottom more, let alone improve my reputation.
What should I do?
‘I wish there was another person other than Countess Cardel.’
Someone popped into my mind.
‘Julia Amber.’
The woman who got angry when she noticed that Fleur’s perfume was made of Kerban flowers.
In addition, it is a character that appears in the original.
While holding Fleur in check, she was completely eliminated by Callian—.
‘I’ll have to stop it before it happens.’
I thought I could help her.
I got off the carriage slowly, planning to go back home and look at the letters she had sent me.
There was another blizzard in the north.
The cold wind brushed my cheek.
Even though I was wearing a thick shawl, the coldness came all the way to the bone.
So I took a quick step toward the mansion.
“You’re back, Madam.”
“You’re back, Madam.”
The gatekeepers welcomed me. They saw my blue face and hurried to open the door.
Haa.
When I entered the mansion, it was now warm and I was able to breathe.
I took off the shawl and handed it to Irene, breathing heavily.
“I need to wash up because it’s cold.”
“Yes. I’ll prepare water.”
“Hmm, thank you.”
“Yes?”
Irene opened her eyes wide.
“Oh, uhm—”
Then, she blurred the end of the sentence.
What’s wrong?
I tilted my head.
“Is there a problem?”
“No, it’s not like that—”
Irene bowed her head with red cheeks.
“It’s my first time hearing thank you from Madam.”
She said, twisting her body as if she was really shy.
“I’m happy.”
I thought as I looked at Irene who said that and quickly disappeared.
First, let’s be nice.
Now, I can’t stand my temper and talk a lot.
If I say it as nice as possible, won’t there be someone who recognizes my efforts someday?
Like Irene right now.
That’s what I thought and turned my foot.
It was then.
“Applause to Ophelia, who spent a month’s worth of living expenses!”
Sylvester’s voice was heard.
Damn it.
I looked back at him with my eyes open.
“Are you trying to nitpick?”
“What do you mean nitpicking? I’m telling you the exact truth.”
Sylvester continued to speak.
“Furniture shop? Why did you go there?”
He said with a dumbfounded expression. I shrugged my shoulders.
“In order to gain the trust of Countess Cardel. I came with a reasonable amount of money, well.”
“Count Cardel follows me. He wouldn’t have had to do that.”
“You’re talking about something you don’t know.”
Later, Count Cardel will betray Sylvester.
That’s why I’m trying to hold Countess Cardel more.
But I can’t say it like this, so I have no choice but to say it indirectly.
“The relationship between Count Cardel and the Countess is very good. In the midst of this, shouldn’t the Countess and I continue to be in the same boat? That’s why I’m a little overworked today.”
I said in a tone of consideration for Sylvester as much as possible.
“I didn’t know you would say this with this amount of money.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
Sylvester answered straight away.
“It’s like, why did you spend money on a useless place and come back? But if that’s the reason, it’s fine. Good job.”
