“The duty of Miss Woods.”

“You said I’m nothing.”

Lord George wrinkled his brow. Apparently, he was struggling to explain to her.

Leticia sighed.

Rather than understanding Michael’s words, it was much harder to grasp how the current situation worked.

“I don’t know how to explain this…. Listen, Miss Woods. In fact, Miss Woods cannot even enter the Imperial Palace if it is your original identity. You’re not even close enough to be a maid.”

It wasn’t a very new fact. Leticia shrugged her shoulders.

“I know. That’s why you ask Baron Jefferson to play a strange play, didn’t you?”

“You know very well.”

“Then I can be a maid. Mi… Your Highness Michael’s personal maid that will be with him as much as he wants.”

For Leticia, the words ‘Michael’ and ‘Your Highness’ still felt out of place. But she has to get used to it.

Anyway, even if Michael was an ordinary noble master, there was a huge wall between her and Michael that could never be crossed.

The fact that Michael was the crown prince only made the wall become a huge mountain.

“It is not such a simple matter.”

“What’s the problem?”

“I don’t think Miss Woods’ position will simply stay as a maid.”

“Yes….?”

“No, it shouldn’t be.”

Lord George’s eyes shone fiercely. He began to rummage through the papers with the same eyes as a predatory beast.

“Miss Woods, think about it. Everyone in this palace, except me, thinks that His Highness Michael is an idiot who can’t even say a word.”

“No way!”

Leticia shouted a little indignantly. Michael was just making his words a little… no, too weird. But is he an idiot?

“I swear I didn’t exaggerate in the slightest.”

“However, the knight is already known to be an aide of His Highness Michael. Even Baron Jefferson knew the rumor and was afraid. If everyone thinks that His Highness is an idiot, why is the Baron so afraid of you?”

Lord George snorted.

“Baron Jefferson is just a peasant on the outskirts who has only been in the capital for six months. What does he know?”

“…….”

“Well, the fact that no one can understand what His Highness Michael is saying is a very secretive thing. Because it has to do with the dignity of the imperial family. Most people just know it’s… stupid.”

At that moment, Leticia’s riddle was solved.

The royal family desperately controlled the fact that the Crown Prince could not speak properly.

Thanks to this, Michael Sonnette Debrandt was known to the Empire as a rather dull crown prince.

So, in the process of ascending to the throne in the future, no one took issue with the fact that he did not communicate properly in his childhood.

“Anyway, the only person that can tell everyone that Your Highness Michael is intelligent….”

“It’s just me.”

“That’s right.”

Leticia frowned.

“You can’t ask a maid to do something so important. That’s why I’m here as a member of Baron Jefferson, not just ‘nothing’.”

“It’s accurate.”

Lord George took only one piece of paper from the file and threw the rest on the floor, saying it was unnecessary.

Hundreds of papers fell off and fluttered everywhere.

“Now that you know it, sign it.”

But Leticia had no intention of holding the pen again.

“It’s not just a maid in the palace! There’s a maid, and there’s a woman who’s a civil servant…..”

Leticia expressed her regret, but a cool answer came back.

“The four statuses created by coercing Baron Jefferson could barely pass through the royal maid. It’s far from enough to be a maid. To become a civil servant, you have to wait until you become an adult.”

“…….”

As Leticia’s silence grew longer, Lord George sighed and shared the plans he had been thinking about from the night.

“Actually, there are a few more ways. I even think of making you become a fiancee…..”

“Fiancee?”

Leticia shuddered at the unexpected remark.

“Originally, the Crown Prince of Debrandt does not engage until he is crowned. Do you know why?”

“I don’t have a clue.”

“Because they die easily.”

“…..The fiancee?”

“Both.”

“……”

Leticia was at a loss for words. In the first place, I guessed that was the reason why Michael became the Crown Prince as a puppet, but I could never have dreamed that I would have to engage myself.

“It’s our proud Debrandt tradition.”

“You tried to put me in that dangerous position.”

“I just thought for a moment. Of course, no one would object because it is a place that no one wants to be in. Rather, they’ll feel sorry for me, thinking that the lady from a decent family was dragged by a puppet?”

“…….”

“Of course, I knew right away that it was a ridiculous idea. If it’s the fiancee of the Crown Prince who makes a fool not a fool, he’ll be assassinated soon.”

“That’s what I just thought.”

“So Miss Woods has no choice but to stay in a nothing position in this palace. Do you understand now?”

“……Yes.”

Leticia was finally forced to accept.

Lord George wanted to keep her place in the palace as much as Leticia wanted to be in here, perhaps even more than Leticia.

But what can we do if it’s practically impossible.

“Unicorn.”

“What did you say?”

“It’s impossible. Your Highness Michael uses this expression often, so you’d better know that.”

“……!”

That day, Leticia had to sweat and dry Lord George, who asked her to be Michael’s fiancee, whom she would risk her life for.

***

The long dress, which was drawn to the tip of the toe, was soft and pretty, but it was uncomfortable to run in it.

Thud!

Now the maid, who does not hide her old spirit, ran right away.

“Miss Leticia, it will be better to call a child who will always hold your skirt.”

“It’s okay. I’ll get used to it soon.”

Leticia stood up as soon as she tried to hide her burning face.

“I, I’m nothing here anyway…. can’t I wear something more casual?”

A sharp answer came back.

“Lord George says Miss Leticia’s current location is temporary. So you have to dress accordingly.”

Leticia frowned.

Lord George was so excited that he was treating her excessively.

In any case, her only role was explaining to others so that they could understand Michael’s words for a few years.

‘What do you call this…..’

She tried to recall the memories of her past life.

Obviously, in the world where she lived in her previous life, there was something that connected people with people who couldn’t communicate.

The memory came to Leticia one day as a gift, and it was difficult to recall properly because it was only a memory that I had only experienced once a few months ago, not like a book that I can open all the time.

Fortunately, Leticia managed to recall the instrument she used to interpret foreign letters that she could not understand in her previous life.

‘Yes, a translator!’

Leticia was only in charge as a translator for a few years until Michael grew up to be able to speak normally.

It was just for that job that I was wearing a dress that was so sloppy now and being stylish.

“Miss Leticia, you’re so stiff. Can I get you a cup of tea or something?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Leticia actually hated bitter tea, but she didn’t want to ignore the maid’s favor, so she replied with a smile. Soon the maid brought tea and cookies.

Leticia didn’t touch the tasteless tea, munching on the cookies and waiting for Lord George to send an attendant to pick her up.

It was my first time officially explaining Michael’s words to others, so I was quite nervous.

“Are you ready?”

Surprisingly, it was Lord George himself who came to pick up Leticia. Leticia followed him and asked in a casual tone.

“By the way, is it okay for the knight to pick up something like me himself?”

“Something like you?”

Lord George frowned.

“What does that mean?”

“The fact that you came to the Baron’s mansion. Your Highness Michael’s guard will be empty….. and I heard that the crown prince’s seat is dangerous.”

“Aha.”

Only then did Lord George seem to realize what Leticia was worried about.

“I don’t care. No one will hurt His Highness Michael.”

“Yes…..?”

“Because if you harm His Highness, the next person who tries to ascend to the throne can be considered as the Crown Prince.”

“…..!”

Leticia’s eyes grew bigger. Lord George’s brief explanation was enough to understand the whole situation.

If Michael was killed by someone other than the Emperor’s order, someone would have to sit in the vacant Crown Prince’s seat.

‘And they’ll be removed.’

In the eyes of other competitors anyway, Michael is a fool who is not good enough, so he won’t be the Crown Prince in the end.

Therefore, it was much more profitable to leave Michael alive for the time being regardless of party affiliation.

“If you do a good job, it could be a little different.”

Lord George’s next words also meant that the moment Michael reveals his talent, he will be in danger.

“Wouldn’t it be better if I didn’t do my job properly? I’ll tell what His Highness is talking about only when I’m with the knight.”

“……”

Lord George stood in the middle of the corridor.

“Miss Woods, that’s true. I’m sure your presence has put His Highness Michael in danger. “

Leticia wanted to protest that Michael was in danger, not because she appeared. But because Lord George had forced her to stay. However, she kept her mouth shut.

“But I can’t leave His Highness Michael like that.”

“Why?”

Leticia asked from the bottom of her heart. Obviously, it would be miserable for Michael and George to be treated like fools.

But what’s more important than escaping the risk of assassination until Michael is fully prepared?
