Chapter 37 The secret passages weren't called secret for nothing. You could only open them by triggering hidden mechanisms like this. That was why I'd struggled so much to find them. "Heave-ho." I climbed onto the cabinet and squeezed myself into the opening. Fortunately, the passage wasn't completely dark. Stones that resembled glowing crystals had been embedded into the walls, providing enough light to see. How long had I been walking? It felt like several hours. "This is way too…-

Chapter 36 After that, Mary continued treating me kindly. The only thing that changed was this: "I'm only doing this because it's you, Your Highness." "See? In the end, I'm all you have, right?" "I told you before. I'll stay by your side no matter what." She kept repeating those words, as if she were trying to drill into my head the idea that she was the only person I could rely on. "Another day without a new maid. Do you think no one is applying for the position after all?" At the…

Chapter 35 “Regina.” “Hm?” After holding my gaze for a moment, Unid spoke with his usual gentle expression. “Is there anything I can help you with?” “Help... with what?” “Hm.” Pretending to think, Unid stroked his chin. “Like dealing with that maid waiting outside.” “...” I hesitated. He was the heir to a family even the Empress couldn't easily interfere with. And despite all my attempts to push him away, he kept treating me with…

Chapter 34 The Isaac family had been the first to volunteer, despite already suspecting why Kayenne was looking for a maid for Regine. This time, their target was Kiseira. Isaac, the man who would slaughter the goose that laid the golden eggs. It was a move perfectly suited to that nickname. "I understand." Although Kayenne inwardly mocked the Isaac family's ambition, she readily granted Lydia's request. There's no reason to refuse. A former maid of Regine becoming the maid of her…

Chapter 33 Even though they were both princesses, they were worlds apart. Lydia let out a long sigh as she recalled the brief glimpse she'd caught of Kiseira. "Kiseira said she'd come back for tea next time." As if she'd somehow read Lydia's thoughts, Regine suddenly brought up Kiseira. "What if she gets angry because the tea tastes bad again? Is good tea expensive? Can I not afford it with my money?" Both were princesses, yet one lived surrounded by the finest luxuries without a second…

Chapter 32 What are you staring at, you embezzler? That was what I was thinking, but I opened my mouth anyway. My life had really taken a strange turn. “It's fin—” “Hey. What are you doing? Why aren't you moving?” But Kiseira spoke before I could. “What kind of useless maid are you supposed to be...?” “Kiseira.” “Did I say anything wrong?” Yunid called her name as if trying to calm her down, but Kiseira refused to back down. Maybe my decision to become a…

Chapter 31 “Seriously. Who does she think she is, worrying about me?” Kiseira grumbled in obvious annoyance, but the corners of her lips had already started to curl upward. “She’s the one who’s sick, and she’s worrying about me? Honestly, that’s ridiculous.” Watching Kiseira, who looked strangely pleased, Yunid frowned. “Yunid.” On her way out, Kiseira nudged one of the boxes Yunid had brought with the tip of her foot and called out to him. “You think giving her…

Chapter 30 “Why are you here?” Kiseira glared at Yunid with obvious displeasure. “And what is all this?” She kicked one of the boxes on the floor with the tip of her foot. So that was it. The boy she liked had come to visit another girl and even brought her gifts, so she was angry. “Do I need to report every place I visit to you and ask for your permission first?” “That’s not what I meant! Why did you come here by yourself?!” My mouth, which had just started to…

Chapter 48 Yeo-jung, who had been momentarily speechless, narrowed her eyes and stared at Hye-ryeon. "So you're really determined to ruin my son's future?" "That's not it... I just want us to live a good life together." "A good life?" Yeo-jung repeated her words with a mocking laugh. "I listened to you and tried breaking up with him once. But it didn't change anything. All we learned was that we couldn't live without each other. So... I think you're the one who should give up." It was a…-

When he was younger and full of ambition, Do Chang-ho had never understood why his father chose to isolate himself in the countryside. These days, however, he finally understood. Whenever his worries became overwhelming, all it took was sitting quietly and gazing at the peaceful landscape to realize how meaningless so many worldly things truly…
