Chapter 13: 13

As she walked out of the room with her hat that was barely in place, Amanda greeted her yet again.

Nevertheless, Amanda was so surprised to see Vivian’s pale complexion that she straight away gave her some support. Seeing Vivian’s face that was switching alternately between pale white and flushed red, Amanda immediately felt that something serious had happened as she tried to scan through her reactions, which Vivian was unaware of.

Although Amanda had already touched her body, Vivian didn’t even feel the need to shake that hand off. She only wanted to get away from that place as soon as possible.

By the time Vivian had managed to regain her senses, she was already seated in the carriage. She couldn’t even remember what kind of conversation she had with the butler or how was she able to get out of the mansion.

Amanda looked towards the confused Vivian, with a worried expression painted across her face.

“Vivi, did something happen?”

“Oh, oh? No…”

Vivian bit her lips as she turned away from Amanda’s worried gaze.

“Nothing happened.”

As Vivian was unable to disclose anything to anyone at all, she avoided her close friend’s question as well. Vivian’s heart kept on pounding for some inevitable reasons despite the fact that she already knew it was a necessary lie to keep her life in line.

As soon as they got off the carriage, a familiar face had greeted the two of them.

“Welcome, Vivian. How was it today?”

Alexia was still at the grim place, not back at the Count’s mansion as she drew a smile on her face.

Vivian’s body got immensely stiffened at her appearance, whom she didn’t want to encounter the most.

“As I went over to the Grand Duke, I was asked by the butler to help with the meal. And…”

“And?”

”…because he didn’t wish to eat it, I ended up not staying for that long.”

“Is that so…?”

Vivian bowed deeply in front of Alexia who seemed rather skeptical.

For the first time ever, she had lied to the Young Lady.

For that reason, Vivian’s heart was beating quite violently that could seem to burst at any second now. Vivian immediately recoiled as much as possible while hoping that the Young Lady wouldn’t hear it.

“What a strange person. What the hell did he want, calling people all of a sudden just to rebuff them when he didn’t want to be tended to.”

Alexia was still complaining when she suddenly snatched Vivian’s hat before saying;

“Anyway, since you’ll be going again tomorrow, don’t forget to come to my room every morning for a while.”

“I understand.”

Only after she had worn her own, original clothes that she was able to release a breath. It felt like she was finally freed from the matters of the Grand Duke.

Vivian then stood at the very end of the maids’ line, before she began to clutch on her own trembling hand.

“Vivi, are you really okay? You’re sweating bullets.”

“Yeah, I’m really okay.”

She softly mumbled to Amanda, who seemed more surprised rather than welcoming when Vivian was approaching her. The dreadful fact that she still had to leave for tomorrow was already waiting for her, but at least, not for now. For the time being, she could feel like she was no longer related to the Grand Duke and that actually made her feel a little more at ease.

It was on that particular day, Vivian had earnestly hoped; may tomorrow never come.

But of course, such a thing could never happen. The sun had been and would always be rising at similar times and for the maids, their time moved rather busily than that of the people of the county.

And thus, nothing was particularly different to Vivian’s own time. After she was all set for the morning, Vivian had no other choice but to go to Alexia’s room. She finished her preparation that was not really different in comparison to any other days.

Also, she felt that her recent habits of naturally wearing expensive clothing, which was enough to make her eyes pop out no matter how many times she was dressed, were rather outlandish.

She immediately got into the carriage that would be departing to the House of the Grand Duke after she had swallowed the medicine, which she could never get used to—unlike the fancy clothing. Usually, she would be chatting away with Amanda, but her lips were sealed shut for today.
