Leaving Aiden and May behind, Johan exited the mansion and sat roughly on the garden bench. His hand brushing over his stinging cheek carried undisguised irritation. "......Um, I wasn't being harassed! I'm, I'm grateful that you came to check on even a former maid......" He knew that those words were a shallow lie meant to mediate the fight. Even Aiden, who received that ridiculous gratitude, narrowed his eyes, so it went without saying how lacking in sincerity that trembling appearance had…-

As mentioned before, Aiden had never quietly watched anyone who coveted what was his. Though he'd preferred to send them away quietly..... If they wouldn't leave on their own accord, there was no choice. He had to be more forceful. From the start, he hadn't liked that 'it' belonged to May. Just thinking about how his maid had protected that thing still made curses rise to his throat. "I see heretics have no concept of blasphemy." "Blasphemy? I don't think I've ever insulted my god." A different…

'......The reason I couldn't button it was really because the clothes were strange.' May spoke while recalling those blue eyes brimming with playfulness. "Usually if I act that clumsy, he says I'm stupid for being an uneducated commoner and buttons it himself......" Clatter.... "But today he just kept watching. Hmm, seeing how mischievous he was being, I wonder if that itself was the teasing......" The way he looked at her was definitely gentler. That relaxed state she had felt before. As if…

Taking her place beside him as commanded, May glanced at Aiden's unkempt silver hair. When he was at the ducal household, he always kept it half-tied back. 'Something feels strange.' As strange as him not questioning her offense. It wasn't simply that the calm hairstyle didn't suit him. Rather, her former master was not someone who showed an unkempt appearance in front of others. Though his temperament wasn't exactly what you'd call 'refined nobility'.... Setting aside his fierce personality, he…

"May, come here." At the casual voice that sounded like calling a dog, May took small hurried steps. Her hair, which had tried various styles until now, was now tightly braided and rolled into a circle. It was clearly a style done with Aiden in mind. 'She said wearing it loose was more comfortable and better.....' With that hehe, her submissive smiling face showed not the slightest intention of expelling the rude guest who had arbitrarily taken the head seat. Aiden handled such a May quite well.…

'Exorcism.....' Come to think of it, she had heard that heretics put forth such superstitions. Moreover, now knowing that such things weren't entirely fiction, Aiden's words gained more credibility. As her trembling black eyes stared at Johan, Aiden spoke as if driving in the final nail. "You're not someone who should be playing servant here. Did you enter this house with a purpose too? Some deranged noble spent money to withdraw the warrant for you.... But that doesn't make your crimes…

"Anyway, this garden is dangerous. Let me help you up and let's go to the quarters together. Um... I'd be grateful if you could show me the way too......" That day, Aiden didn't accept the maid's support. Before he could open his mouth, a young servant appeared calling her name. The servant, who failed to notice Aiden's presence cleverly hidden by the bushes, looked at the small maid who ran to his call with quite a foolish face. "By the way May, who were you with? Looked like a boy......" "Huh?…

Glen, a native coachman of the coastal city Almar, was casting furtive glances at the robed man. Though all he could see was a sharp jawline, Glen easily noticed that he was quite irritated. And he knew why he was irritated. He had watched how many times the man had been refused rides before coming to him. In the process, he naturally figured out his destination. 'If it's the Ghost Mansion, everyone would refuse even with extra pay... No wonder he's annoyed.' "...Are you certain you're going to…

'I feel like I've become a bad person.' May's face had turned pale. She snatched the letter Johan was reading as soon as she noticed he had dispelled the magic sphere. After quickly scanning the letter, she showed relief with a face that said 'as I thought.' Soon, May took a small breath and began reading it as loudly as she could. It was the part Johan had deliberately skipped. About how much that foolish woman Chloe had loved that ghost. That perhaps hiding the pregnancy was also for the man's…

Though he said to read the letters downstairs, she was seated in a dining chair instead of the sofa where she could see the ghost in the front row. The meal they ended up sharing together eventually extended into teatime. Johan, despite his characteristically indifferent face, attended to May quite attentively. However, May didn't find it as welcome as before. The man whose attitude and gaze had become notably gentler ironically made his somewhat rough original personality stand out more because of…
