Chapter 5: 5

(Ronnie’s POV)

By then, I had already decided that I needed to change their perspectives and let them all know that I’ve changed for the better. Especially to Allen but also for everyone else in the mansion.

First thing I did was to request for the list of the names of the people who were working at the castle. I started to memorize not only their names but their faces as well. Those who received my first greetings for the first time, all had the same reaction.

They would grab onto the hem of my skirt and plead for their life as if they had made a grave mistake. 

No…if I say hello with a smile, they can just respond. But why does the atmosphere suddenly drop? Can’t they just show a normal reaction to a greeting?’

I grabbed the back of my neck as I watched the workers tremble at me in one fashion or another.

Second action was that I picked up some flowers from the garden and gave them to the maids. It’s the same concept as courting the opposite sex to get their favor and to be acquainted with them.

But how come this isn’t working with them as well?!

When I gave them the flowers, the servants really went above and beyond with their reactions, as they quickly jumped from their panic.

“Oh, lady! That flower was the Duke’s favorite flower. What are we gonna do?!”

“Oh, really? I didn’t know.”

The maids were terrified as they flung the flowers as if they had touched a bug. 

Oh, why are they so afraid of touching Leo’s favorite flower? 

I looked at maids with a puzzled face. Well…I was just trying to get closer to them. I didn’t know that it looked like I was purposely doing so that they would be punished or fired by something that I gave them.

Just then, Vivi passed by and picked up the flowers that had fallen and came to my side and said.

“Lady, did you damage your skirt just so you can give us these flowers? Without you knowing that you’ll get dirty?”

“Huh? Come to think of it, what happened to the lady’s dress…?”

The maid was startled by Vivi’s words, and finally moved their gazes to the bottom of my dress.

I also listened to Vivi and looked at the dress. Just as Vivi mentioned, the dress was quite dirty. I wasn’t used to this kind of clothes, so I squatted down without thinking and just picked the flowers. The pretty dress ended up losing its original color.

“Oh? That’s right. I didn’t know that the dress had gotten dirty while I was picking the flowers. I haven’t worn it that much either.”

Vivi smiled kindly at me, as I awkwardly tried to hide my dress skirt. She then pulled out a fine handkerchief from her pocket and started to brush off the dirt from my dress.

“Lady, thank you for the flowers but you also have to think about the people who dress you. Rest assured that you can return the flowers before the Duke sees them. I’ll help you.”

“Really? Thank you, Vivi!”

Vivi smiled at me when she called my name. Wow, the first person who had a normal reaction to me. With a face full of emotion, I grabbed Vivi’s hand and led her to the place where the flowers were originally picked.

Upon arriving at the garden, Vivi gathered up the flowers and tied them meticulously to the drooping stems with a thin silk thread.

As I quietly observed Vivi, I spoke up.

“Can it still be connected to the flowers once they have already been cut?”

“This flower has strong vitality, so if we graft it to where it had been cut, it’s still possible that it will attach quickly.”

“That’s cool.”

I looked at the flower that had been treated with first aid. As I was absorbed with my curiosity, Vivi suddenly said,

“My Lady, I want to apologize for being so rude before. It was because I was surprised by the sudden attention. In fact, I was very nervous because I was just a newly hired maid here in the mansion.”

“I could understand why you’re so anxious whenever you have to face me. Just like what you saw earlier, all of the servants are scared of me.”

“Yes, that’s true.”

Vivi sighed deeply as if she was troubled. Even if she hadn’t been with the Duchy that long, she must have already heard about the rumors regarding Ronnie. Since it wouldn’t be easy to work under a young lady who declares, ‘You’re Fired’  no matter what they do.

“I believe that the other servants and I have misunderstood you, my lady. You even worked hard to memorize all the names of the servants who worked here, right? Everyone was so surprised.”

“Well…they were so surprised to the point that they couldn’t even say ‘hello’ back to me.”

I sulked a bit, as I remembered the maids who were so terrified by my efforts. In response to my reaction, Vivi patted my shoulder as if she was soothing a child.

“I guess it’s really true that children can learn more easily than adults. Seeing that the young lady has become a person who knows how to be considerate of others.”

I could feel myself on the verge of tears, when I heard Vivi’s gentle voice as she patted my shoulder affectionately.

I didn’t become Ronnie Chaliganne because I wanted to.  Still, I tried to change my image somehow for the better, but I didn’t realize I was under quite a bit of stress. I didn’t realize it was due to the people around me who had continuously judged my efforts to change for the better.

Vivi wiped the tears from my eyes with a flustered face due to my sudden outburst. I immediately hugged her to console myself with her tenderness, and I asked her.

“Vivi, please be my exclusive maid starting today and onward!”

That day, Vivi was promoted and became my exclusive maid.

As she was pampering me in her arms, a familiar silver-haired boy was seen staring at us from a distance and disappeared after a while.

(Ronnie’s POV)

I could feel another gaze keenly watching me. If Gale was watching openly, Allen on the other hand, was secretly observing me so that I wouldn’t notice it. But as I suspected, the silver-haired boy that I had glimpsed earlier was obviously him.

Ever since Vivi was now in charge of taking care of me, I became accustomed to always having a companion in everything that I do. But still, I didn’t know the reason why I came here into this world…

The only difference now is that Allen was no longer trying to avoid me. As I tiptoed to his room, Allen was taking a nap while holding Sasha in his arms and sleeping soundly.

It’s the sleeping figure of my ultimate crush. It was a pity that there were no cameras in this world to capture his glory. As I sat quietly and leaned my arm against the bed, gently touching my chin.

Allen was way more handsome up close. His silver hair was glowing even in a dim light, and his long eyelashes under that white skin were so long and curled beautifully. The high nose bridge and cutely closed lips looked so moist.

“Definitely handsome…”

I whispered quietly to myself. A handsome man like him cannot be simply seen anywhere. Even though he is still within his teenage years, he had a rather large physique compared to children his age. When I thought of this child growing up and growing taller, a smile came upon my lips without me realizing it.

There would be no better opportunity than the one present for me to watch my ultimate crush in person. Although my word choices may seem a bit perverted, there is no other way for me to express my feelings except for this.

[pr/n: Well, I’m glad you realized that this is a ‘raised eyebrow’ situation.]

Whether this was a dream or a nonsensical imagination, I wish I could see Allen as an adult as soon as possible.

As I appreciated Allen’s handsomeness, I could feel that I was getting quite drowsy since I was very exhausted. Not long after, I fell into a deep sleep.

(Allen’s 3rd Person POV)

Allen slowly opened his eyes when he felt that Ronnie was asleep. He noticed that Ronnie was sleeping in an uncomfortable position, with her long black hair flowing down. Allen frowned as he remembered the words that Ronnie had muttered earlier. Saying that he was handsome.

He could definitely see how much Ronnie had changed. Her attitude towards the servants and the way she treated him were completely opposite than what it was before.

How terrible was that dream that made the clever and wicked Ronnie change this much?

Allen turned his eyes onto Sasha, who was purring in his arms, and then to Ronnie who was sleeping defenselessly next to him. If it wasn’t for Ronnie’s dream, Sasha would have already been dead.

Allen whispered to Sasha, asking if she gave that dream to Ronnie because she wanted to live. Sasha purred as if she was answering him and rubbed her head against Allen’s arms.

‘Come to think of it, Ronnie and Sasha have similar hair colors.’ 

Allen unconsciously picked up Ronnie’s dark hair with his hand.

‘Like Sasha’s black fur, Ronnie’s hair was black as the night sky. Her skin was so pale that the contrast with her black hair was even more apparent. Her face, with eyes that were heavily lidded, seemed cold since there’s no expression present.’

Despite being her age, Ronnie had a strange aura that was not like a child. It created an atmosphere around her that was difficult to approach.

“It’s so soft…”

Allen ruffled Ronnie’s hair and muttered to himself unconsciously. Ronnie then let out a small moan and turned her head in the opposite direction. Allen was so startled, he quickly pulled out his hand and looked at her to see if she had woken up. 

Fortunately, Ronnie was still in a deep sleep.

Allen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his hand that had touched Ronnie’s hair. He had always felt unpleasant whenever he touched her, but now he couldn’t believe what he had just done.

But how could he resist it now that he knew how soft it was her hair was to touch.

Even though he couldn’t understand what was happening, when she said that she had changed for the better, he also felt that his feelings for her had changed alongside

The dark and gloomy atmosphere that radiated off of her, had long disappeared. 

Ronnie, who was always looking down at him with displeasure, was now looking at him ever so affectionately. Allen, of course, didn’t hate those changes. 

He even asked himself, ‘Has anyone ever smiled so warmly at me before?’

Her usual cold smile and sharply thin eyes that had always tormented him, had all but changed now. Now, every time Ronnie made eye contact with him, she would smile brightly.

Something Allen was strangely unaccustomed to.

‘It would have been better for me if she remained tormenting and harassing me like she has always done before. But now that I know that she could be so friendly and although I consciously tried to stop it, I couldn’t help but feel a warm feeling inside bubbling up without realizing it.’

(T/N: Oh my that’s really sad.)

Thump, thump.

Allen suddenly placed his hand onto his chest, after he heard his heart beating loudly. 

He felt it was ridiculous for him to feel like this. The thumping that he felt was beating faster than usual.

As he shifted his gaze towards a nearby mirror. He felt like a child who was caught doing something bad. This was the first time he had this type of an experience, with his heart beating so rapidly. 

Allen frowned. He felt out of place with this strange emotion he had been experiencing lately. After a while, he raised a corner of his mouth as if ridiculing himself and shook his head in denial.

He suddenly laughed at himself for having ridiculous thoughts. Rationalizing to himself that his heart was only beating like this because he was afraid to be caught by Ronnie for touching her hair secretly. 

‘Yeah…it’s just that I’m afraid of being punished by Ronnie again.’

‘There’s no way that my heart would beat because of this girl.’

[pr/n: Sure, keep telling yourself that.]

Allen gently got off his bed as he rubbed his chest with his heart still pounding, and went to carefully pick up Ronnie. 

As they entered Ronnie’s room, her scent tickled the tip of his nose. It gave him a strange feeling.

Allen carefully lay her down and walked back to his room with a bewildered look on his face.

(Ronnie’s POV)

Eventually, things wouldn’t always remain quiet. It was only a matter of time before I thought something would explode.

“Sister! Come here and listen to these people!”

Gale, with a very angry face, pointed at a maid who was kneeling on the floor. 

Standing next to the maid were people who looked like they were police officers or doctors. I wanted to hold onto the back of my neck in this absurd situation.

The incident had started some time ago. As rumors spread among them that I had become lenient with the servants, everyone began to test me. Ronnie’s valuables slowly started to disappear. As if they were testing the waters and wondering how far they could go.

I let out a deep sigh as I watched Vivi fidgeting and searching frantically for where it could have all gone.

‘So they really intended to test me out, to the point of stealing other people’s things? I really appreciate that they have accepted my goodwill to change, but they don’t have the right to take stuff from under a child’s nose.’

I sighed as I watched the contents of the jewelry box decrease. It was really difficult to keep an eye on the theft.

Then I purposely put a pair of earrings in a visible place and installed a video stone to see the culprit of stealing my jewelry. It was a kind of CCTV-like video recording magic tool.

If the criminal was caught, I was going to scold them and get my belongings back.

After a good night’s sleep, I woke up to the earrings being gone. I took out the video stone and looked at it to see who was stealing my things. The place where the earrings were placed did not change for quite some time. 

Then someone entered my room while I was asleep.

A small maid sneaked in and rummaged through the drawers of the jewelry box. She did so until she found the pair of earrings in front of the dressing table, and put them in her pocket.

The maid in the video was none other than Becky. With reddish-brown hair and freckles on face, she was the maid assigned to cleaning duties.

I groaned quietly.

Becky was the youngest maid among the servants at the Chaliganne Mansion. In Korean terms, she was just entering high school.

You manage to learn how to steal from such a young age. 

put my hand on my stinging forehead and told Vivi to bring Becky to me.
