"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…

"Since it's come to this, there's no choice. Everyone step aside." I pushed Rian away and stepped forward. Then I started searching every corner of the kitchen thoroughly. "Miss, what are you looking for?" I wasn't sure if such a thing existed in the 19th century, but nobles of this era must have eaten all kinds of dishes, so even though they were ruined, perhaps...... "Ah! Here it is!" I pulled out a grater from deep inside the cupboard and shouted. "Now, I'm going to make you…

"What? No...... well, I mean......" The woman's face, which had been filled with anger as she shouted with her hand on her hip, gradually softened. I could see her mind working hard, considering what I had just said. "It must be incredibly difficult to manage a household alone. I'm saying I'll recognize you as the head of the family. You're probably already managing the farmland in place of your absent husband, but if I properly guarantee your rights in a document, you can feel secure even if…

"It seems to be market day." We observed the passing people while half-hiding behind trees. Now I had a better idea of where we were. In my previous life, this had been the village square when I drove through by car. About 100 years later, there would be sophisticated outdoor cafés and bakeries here, but now it was filled with tents. Inside the tents were stalls lined with fruits, vegetables, homemade jams, and cheeses. People out shopping were walking around with baskets on their arms,…

Elfleda's name was called. Now becoming a proper member of the imperial family as the Crown Prince's consort, she would eventually transform from the empire's little star to the empire's moon. So many jewels had been ground and sprinkled on her snow-white dress that the light reflecting in the sunshine with each step she took made one have to squint to see. Her red hair was twisted up into a bun under the long veil that dragged on the floor. A hairpin crossed through her tied hair to secure the…-

"Ah, it seems you're ready to make your move in earnest." Werner answered her question without hesitation. Having been with his subordinates for decades, he knew each one's specialties, and Rudbeckia committed his words to memory without missing anything. "Don't you need to write it down?" "Ah, I remember everything." Rudbeckia proved she really did remember by reciting some of the mercenary group's specialties she had just heard. * * * December was the coldest month in the Europa…
