Contrary to being forcibly dragged into the carriage by the servants, once Roselia arrived at the Duke’s estate, she was treated with respect.
Alejandro, standing in for the Duke, Klaus, who had disappeared somewhere in the estate, kindly guided her around.
“Ah, please allow me to introduce you. This is Geoffrey Humphrey, the chief steward of the Baltazar estate. And this is Antonio de Hesingk, a new member of our estate. He will be working as a servant here for the time being.”
A white-haired man with a monocle gave Roselia a stern look, appraising her like an object. With the thought of having to deal with him for at least a year, Roselia awkwardly smiled and attempted a joke.
“Their names almost sound like twins – Geoffrey and Humphrey! Ha ha!”
The effect was disastrous.
Both Geoffrey, who had become even colder than at first impression, and Alejandro, who wore an extremely embarrassed expression, were staring at her.
“Cough! Well… it seems the long journey here has tired you. Geoffrey, would you mind preparing a room for Antonio?”
Upon Alejandro’s request, Geoffrey, who had bowed politely, gestured to a servant behind him. The equally courteous servant approached and bowed.
“Denver, please show the new servant to his room.”
“Should I arrange him in a two-person room, like the other servants?”
“That would be best. Roy has been using a room alone; it would be good for him to share it with this new arrival.”
At that moment, cold sweat ran down Roselia’s back.
She was supposed to share a room with a male servant…
But as a newly arrived servant, she couldn’t exactly demand a private room.
As Roselia was sweating in embarrassment, Alejandro stepped in as an unexpected savior.
“Oh, I forgot to mention. Antonio is a somewhat exceptional servant. He is not only a servant of the estate but also a business partner of the Duke. Therefore, please arrange his room near the Duke’s office. Ah, and make sure it’s a room suitable for working in as well.”
With Alejandro’s detailed explanation, Geoffrey looked reluctantly at Roselia, his expression indicating that he found her unimpressive and unlikely to be capable of much.
Knowing she had to get along with Geoffrey while living in the estate, Roselia smiled hesitantly at him. Ignoring her smile, Geoffrey responded to Alejandro’s request.
“Understood. I’ll show him to a room on the second floor near the Duke’s office.”
Relieved, Roselia breathed a sigh of relief inside.
While being near the Duke’s office was a concern, at least she wouldn’t have to share a room with a strange man.
Moreover, given its location, it seemed more like a guest room than a servant’s quarters.
She would have had trouble changing clothes or undressing around other servants, so it was a fortunate arrangement. Of course, it seemed the Duke wanted her close by to utilize her more efficiently…
“Follow me, please.”
Denver, the servant, led the way with a displeased look.
Roselia quickly followed Denver after bowing to Geoffrey and Alejandro. As she hurried, Alejandro’s voice called out from behind.
“I’ll bring the 20 berang to your room later!”
Roselia glanced back at Alejandro to acknowledge and then quickly followed the servant. She had to practically run to keep up with Denver’s brisk pace.
Muttering curses under her breath about his obvious intent, she was suddenly surprised by something that burst out from the staircase corridor, causing her to reflexively embrace a soft object and fall over.
“Master Closet!”
Startled by Denver’s voice, Roselia looked curiously at the sky-blue, cloud-like softness she had embraced.
Sky-blue cloud? There can’t be a cloud floating around in the Duke’s mansion…
“How long are you going to hug it?”
The cloud talks… No, wait!
Startled, Roselia realized she had been embracing something soft and quickly let go in alarm.
The sky-blue cloud, no, a girl with wavy silver-blue hair hanging down abundantly, got up indignantly and looked down at her. She appeared to be about thirteen years old, not yet debuted in society.
“A new servant I haven’t seen before…”
Roselia asked uncomfortably, feeling like she was being appraised.
“Who are you?”
The girl seemed astounded by Roselia’s blunt question.
“You don’t know me? In this Duke’s estate?”
“Aha, Miss Closet, I apologize. This new servant is a bit clumsy and made a mistake,” Denver interjected, addressing the girl as ‘Miss,’ which immediately made Roselia realize she was a lady of the Baltazar family.
It wasn’t a mistake; if she hadn’t caught the girl, the so-called lady would have embarrassingly fallen to the floor.
But knowing it would sound like an excuse, Roselia quickly composed herself and bowed respectfully.
“I apologize for not recognizing you, Lady. My name is Antonio de Hesingk, newly employed in the Duke’s estate.”
“De Hesingk… Are you a noble?”
“…It would be more accurate to say I was. Now I’m just a servant of the estate.”
“Hmm…”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
