It is said that happiness and misfortune are two sides of the same coin.
Two weeks later, I was clearly feeling it.
To find happiness, there was a lot of precious food that I couldn't even touch before.
Spaghetti with Gruyere cheese! When I was a maid I always ate leftovers.
What is misfortune?
It was the fact that I was with the Archduke who I served.
Only the sound of me eating spaghetti echoed in the silent hall.
I didn't study aristocratic etiquette I only saw it from the side, so I gave up on that in the first place and ate as I wanted.
"I heard you caused a ruckus."
I choked while I was swallowing spaghetti.
The Archduke, who was sitting diagonally, kindly handed me orange juice.
"Yes."
Sipping my orange juice, I nodded my head slightly. It seems that he also heard the news.
Fifteen days ago in the morning, there was a commotion.
Fortunately, Hannah came to her senses that afternoon.
The maids still firmly believed that I had cursed Hannah.
I didn't expect that I would hear it from Archduke Ferze himself.
"You made a maid faint this time, right?"
Saying that, Ferze had a happy face after a long time.
As I rolled the spaghetti noodles on the fork with my head down, I lifted my face.
I murmured without even swallowing the spaghetti noodles in my mouth.
"It wasn't "
Ferze did not scold me even when he saw my bad manners.
"I didn't mean it either, but I've killed a lot of people so far."
Duk
The fork in my hand fell off and rolled on the floor.
Embarrassed, even before I could grab the fork, Ferze glanced at the servant who was serving the meal. The expression on the archduke giving instructions was dry.
The servant immediately hands a new fork in front of me, with pale face.
"How can you go to Visenna when you're this scared?"
I glared at Ferze with a dissatisfied face.
The moment our eyes met, I fixed my eyes on the spaghetti bowl as if I had never done so.
"I'm not going."
I'm sorry, Ferze. No matter how much I think about it, I don't think I'll ever go to that family.
Ferze smiled as if there was no point at my resolute tone.
From the looks of it, it's a face that say you don't have a choice.
"I will bring my life as a maid to an end."
"I've heard that exactly 32 times. Ever since you opened your eyes as a child."
Did I ? I got embarrassed and scratched my cheek.
It turned out that Ferze wasn't obsessed with power, but that I was obsessed with the maid.
But I mean, there is no one who offers better conditions than here, and there is no one who pays you twice salary.
"Can't you speak more like a child? It's too much for a six-year-old child to use."
Enemy, what do you mean? How did my image get stuck like that?
Ferze has been a member of the royal family since birth, to be exact, the emperor's cousin. As the Grand Duke of Yekart, there was nothing lacking, but I wasn't.
And when I mumbled like a child, I think it was only yesterday that you told me to stop being stupid and talk straight.
After I opened my eyes as a six-year-old, I had more time to looking at Ferze face.
"I'm not really six years old…."
I muttered to myself.
The doctor came and went for a while before eating. It was to get a medical examination to find out why I suddenly became young.
When the butler told him my age, the doctor looked like he couldn't believe it. The doctor then carefully looked at me and said I looked six years old.
Although the body age is six years old, there may be side effects of swallowing poison.
When I asked what the side effects were, he said, 'Your mental age is a bit...'
He said my mental age was decreased like a real child, but I didn't care. There's something else I don't understand.
I can call the butler if I want something, but the point is that Ferze will come to see me at busy times.
At first, my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't concentrate on eating.
But now, two weeks have passed, I'm getting used to it pretty well.
Contrary to popular rumors that Ferze is a cruel villain, he did not touch the child.
He doesn't give a finger flick to a child who doesn't listen.
Is that kind? I couldn't even see it like that.
Usually, adults would laugh at a child saying they were cute, but he was always expressionless.
He showed no interest in cute things.
But I don't understand why you always come to see me.
'If I have to find the reason, it's to keep an eye on me?'
Moreover, seeing that he keep talking about the Visenna family, he seems to be sending me to the north, but I never intended to go.
The only one bad guy in the Archduke house is Ferze, but there are three awful men in Visenna.
I looked up at Ferze and ate spaghetti with a face that looked as pitiful as possible.
Since I'm trying to eat, I have to act while eating.
