There are voices that sound unpleasant just by hearing them. And if they're openly spouting offensive remarks, that makes it even worse. As I slowly turned around, I saw a small procession entering the cramped courtyard. A large, imposing brown horse stood at the front, with a man of equally impressive build sitting on its back. His face with its sagging jowls glistened with oil, and his neatly trimmed mustache extended sharply on both sides of his face like arrows. When the man grinned at…-

Gasp! I opened my eyes with a start as I felt myself falling in spirals. My body was drenched in cold sweat. I remained dazed for a while, but as I looked around, everything slowly came back to me. Yes, this is the castle from 130 years ago. My castle. And... Suddenly, my mind cleared as if fireworks had exploded in my head. That's right! Last night we locked that suspicious guy in a room across the hallway! I quickly tried to get up, but a scream escaped my lips. Every part…

Crackle, crackle. For a moment, only the sound of burning torches could be heard. I could see Hubert's hands trembling in front of me. Marina's hand, which painfully gripped my arm, was also shaking. The thugs exchanged confused glances, apparently not expecting this answer. "Ha! You hired a new worker? After claiming you don't have a penny to your name, you somehow found money through the back door......" The man at the front seemed to regain his composure first, spitting on the ground…

Though it had lost its luster and lay quietly dormant now, Clairfield Castle was truly beautiful. It wasn't the gloomy ruin I had seen in my previous life. Of course, it was modest enough to make calling it a "castle" a bit embarrassing, but it was still a quaintly built structure. My little castle, Clairfield Castle, with 52 rooms, 28 bathrooms of various sizes, 1 study, a banquet hall, and a small tower. Every time I walked across the beautiful marble floors, my heart swelled with the thought…

"You know! Mr. Feldwell is exactly the type of person who would do something like this!" Marina's excited words came faster and faster. "He's pretending to have lost his memory while being ordered to sneak in here, and then he'll spread rumors. Just as you said, Butler, he'll claim that Miss has inappropriately become involved with a strange man of no background. It's a scheme to claim she's unqualified as a Baron and seize this castle......" "Wait! So Feldwell is...... who…

"Seeing everyone so busy makes me feel rushed. I'll quickly eat something and come back to help. Please wait just a bit." "Oh no, Miss. The accumulated dust everywhere is no joke. We'll handle this work, you should just rest..." As Hubert was speaking kindly, "Yes, we're terribly short-handed right now, so please hurry back." Rian cut in spitefully. I felt pathetic for having had shy thoughts about our little secret. "Fine! I said fine!" I grumbled as I turned and walked toward the…

I jumped back in shock just as Rian abruptly stood up. "Already... finished? That was faster than I expected." "It... it was nothing. It didn't hurt, did it?" "Well, it stung a bit." "Right, hurry... hurry up and apply the ointment when you go back upstairs." "I should do that." We hastily grabbed the lamp and left the kitchen. We didn't even look at each other's faces. We both hesitated momentarily when we tried to rush ahead at the foot of the stairs, but Rian stepped back and…

He was definitely a worker with some unusual qualities. I added a few more items to the information I had gathered in my mind so far. A chivalrous spirit that instinctively protects women, an attitude that casually orders someone to build a chicken coop, and a hellish tongue that refuses to back down. "Well, now we can finally stretch our legs and..." As he was dusting off his hands and continuing to speak, he was startled. "Ah! Blood!" I pointed to the blood dripping down his neck from…

Everything was quiet. Everyone seemed to be asleep now. The sight of one older man and two young women quite drunk had been quite entertaining. They all had flushed faces and were loudly telling their own stories. Imagine that—a lord, a butler, and a lowly maid sitting at the same table. It was a very unfamiliar scene, but it didn't feel particularly strange. When you wake up with a sharp pain in the back of your head and find your mind completely blank, not much will surprise…

Finally, the night grew deep. "We'll clean up here. Miss, you should go upstairs now." "It's fine, it's fine. If we all do it together, it will finish faster." Hubert, with his shirt sleeves rolled up, strongly objected, but I stayed in the kitchen to help with the cleanup. In truth, I seemed to be more of a hindrance than help with the cleanup, breaking two plates and splashing water everywhere, but I didn't want to climb those large, majestic stairs alone in the middle of the…
