Chapter 31: CH 31

Concerned about me being upset, Kelly responds to the woman calmly.

"For now, please introduce yourself to everyone present here. Since that is the rule."

"What, you're a commoner, why do you think you're so important!? I dare you to reject me, you won't get away with it!"

"I will inform the madam about the matter."

Inform me, but I'm right here.

"Humph! I'm competing against commoners. Of course, she'll choose me as their lady-in-waiting."

"Please introduce yourself."

Kelly repeated with a straight face. She is amazing at keeping a calm face at all times.

"My name is Rebecca, third daughter of Baron of Quiggionne. Nineteen years old."

The other interviewees don't know what to say, but they follow Rebecca with puzzled looks on their faces.

"I'm Nelisse. I'm a maid apprentice and I'm twenty-seven years old."

"I'm Marilyn, I work in a bar. Thirty years old, I'm a waiter."

"Maurina, hunter. Thirty-seven years old, good at hunting, butchering, and cleaning."

We finished interviewing the second group of applicants.

Everyone but Rebecca was dejected, that was pitiful.

In the same vein, I completed the interviews for the third and fourth groups.

"Are you tired, Lady Agnes?"

"Not yet, I'm fine. Thank you, Kelly."

"Now for the second round of interviews. First, let's announce who has passed the first round."

I nodded, and as I was about to read out the successful candidates ...... I suddenly looked behind the door.

"Oh, is that ......?"

Lord Nazel and Mr. Henry were peeking at me through the small opening in the door.

It seems that they were worried and came to check on me. I was a little embarrassed.

I read out the names of the successful applicants.

The successful candidates would go on to the second round of interviews, while the unsuccessful ones would be sent home.

"The first round of successful applicants for the maid hiring test are, Mocca, Patty, Meyza, Laurie, Marilyn, Maureena, Minnie, and Pansy. Please remain in this room for the second round of interviews for those who have passed. If your name was not called, you did not have a chance this time...."

"Hey! What do you mean!"

It was Rebecca, the baron's daughter, who interrupted me and shouted. She approached, striding toward me.

"Hey, what about me?　I'm going to be hired as a lady-in-waiting, right?"

"We're looking for maids this time, not a lady-in-waiting."

"Ha?! Quit messing around with me. Don't you dare tell me what to do, when you're just a maid! Listen here, just hire me as the lady-in-waiting! I'm Rebecca, daughter of Baron de Quiggionne, you hear!?"

Ehh ...... I'm not sure I want to be shouted down like that.

"I cannot do that."

"Shut up. Shut up and let me see the potato bitch! What's the point of me coming all the way over here if she wouldn't even show up? If she looks like a potato, I guess she must have a potato for a brain too."

I've never heard the term "potato for a brain" before. Oh, my God, what am I going to do?

"What a useless maid! If you don't do what I say, this is what you get!"

Rebecca raises one hand in the air. I thought I was going to get hit, so I quickly closed my eyes.

―― Don't worry, it shouldn't be as powerful as father's.

But no matter how long I wait, the slap never came. Fearfully, I opened my eyes...

There was Rebecca, frozen in a raised arm position, and Lord Nazel, standing there protecting me and holding her wrist.

"I won't overlook any violence in this mansion."

"Oh ...... you are ......"

Rebecca's eyes widened when she saw Lord Nazel's face. I guess she had an idea of who he was.

But she pointed at me with her other hand and continued her words.

"It is the maid's fault! She's a commoner and she's telling me what to do. She should be fired! Hey, Master, won't you hire me as the lady-in-waiting? I'm sure you'll be very pleased with my services."

Rebecca is looking at Lord Nazel with a loving gaze. Way too different from her attitude toward me.

"I can't have you as the lady-in-waiting."

"Why... what do you mean! You should make me lady-in-waiting instead of that commoner!"

Rebecca shouts, pointing at Kelly this time. Lord Nazel, on the other hand, is calm.

"I cannot hire anyone who would so easily raise their hand to another person, no matter what their position. And certainly not someone who would insult my wife."

When Rebecca learned that her "potato" comment had been heard, she began to get slightly upset.

However, she quickly recovered and appealed to Lord Nazel while twisting her body.

"I will satisfy you more than your wife. So, please let me stay by your side."

"I refuse. I love only my wife."

Lord Nazel answered immediately and embraced me in his arms lovingly.

Hiyaaaa!　Not here.......

"Hey, Lord Nazel!"

All the other interviewees, who don't know what's going on, are so confused!

"I'm sorry, Agnes. I'm at my wits' end. I couldn't watch you get mistreated any longer."

The people who came to be interviewed were visibly shaken as they heard the name 'Agnes'. They started muttering "Isn't Agnes the same name as the lord's wife...?", "Don't tell me..." and so on.

―― I was completely exposed.
