This was a problem Abella had to yield to Mrs. Amerigo. Abella nodded heavily.
“That would be good for Simon. But my mother and Simon have to stay in the main building. If you want, I’ll stay elsewhere.”
“…….That would be great.”
That was all.
It was a quiet permission to accept Abella’s presence.
Mrs. Amerigo brushed past her as if her purpose was to chase Abella away from the beginning.
Inevitably, she became weak in front of her mother.
It was true that Mrs. Amerigo had lost her family because of Abella. However, Mrs. Amerigo was not even concerned that Abella went through the same thing too.
Abella gulped down her sorrow and took a breath.
‘It’s okay, Abella.’
Abella took a deep breath and turned. All of the employees who had been called by Hannibal were gathered in the hall. Abella gripped the railing tightly.
Abella slowly opened her lips.
‘Do what you need to do, Abella.’
‘Don’t be nervous.’
“Eight years have passed since I left Amerigo. I think a lot has changed in Amerigo.”
The start was smooth.
Abella smiled.
“I am temporarily in charge under the request of Amerigo’s predecessor and Duke, Carlo Amerigo. Amerigo will follow my orders until Simon Amerigo becomes the successor.”
What she had to say was clear.
“Yes, miss!”
The voices of countless people gathered rang throughout the hall. Abella nodded.
That’s a relief. No one was against Abella’s words. Why was it considered so fortunate when this was a natural thing for Abella, who was a legitimate successor?
Abella continued.
“Do not allow guests that I don’t know to enter Amerigo.”
“Yes!”
“Additionally, all food ingredients entering Amerigo will be thoroughly managed, and everyone who enters and exits will be required to record personal information. Hannibal?”
“Please leave it to me, my lady.”
Hannibal smiled kindly and shook his head.
“And finally, alongside my mother, Enoch and I, the maids who will help Simon, will be replaced, and they will have a meeting with me once a week. Do you have any objections?”
“Additionally, as the number of people increases, we will recruit more maids. If you have someone to recommend, feel free to knock on my door.”
Abella took a breath. There were so many things to do, and this was just the beginning. By eradicating all of Amerigo’s evil, she should be able to pass the clean Amerigo to Simon.
Oh, so very clean…
“Enoch and I will be staying in Amerigo’s annex, so please renovate it. Hermen?”
“Yes, miss. I will take care of it.”
The maid came forward and bowed her head.
“A lot will change in the future. You have to help me a lot.”
Abella stood upright with her back and neck in an elegant position. Then she placed her hands neatly and lowered her head.
Not obsequious, but in a noble manner.
“I look forward to your kind cooperation.”
That’s how Abella’s own initiation ceremony ended.
*
Sigh.
Abella rubbed her tired eyes while handing over the papers. Enoch, who was eating candy without a break, raised his head.
Enoch’s pale eyes stared at her.
Enoch put down the candy he had in his hand. The candy that rolled in his mouth was sweet. The round and sparkling candies were like Abella’s eyes. Enoch chewed the candy and asked Abella.
“What is it?”
Abella shook her head as if it were nothing.
“I’m tired. How many hours have I been sitting now?”
“It’s been 5 hours. There are a lot of documents to figure out.”
Enoch tapped the papers in front of him with his finger.
Abella turned her head to the window. The vast territory of Amerigo was in sight. Amerigo’s full warehouse was gradually being emptied by the extravagant nobles. That’s how obvious it was on paper, and how bad it actually was.
Just because it had Amerigo’s name on it, it did not necessarily mean it belonged to Amerigo.
Many people had already lost the family’s honor.
“…….I think we should get rid of the most serious places first.”
What Abella put on top of the papers was a report on Gilmus. As long as he lived in Amerigo, he would continue to suck on Amerigo’s blood.
