"They say there's a ghost." Caught off guard by the direct statement, May fidgeted with her fingertips. She couldn't bring herself to deny it. In fact, the ghost was still standing behind the man. Moreover, it was true that no one had knocked on the mansion's door for weeks since she requested help from the employment agency. She had expected a few applicants, but thought at least one or two would apply given the salary she'd set much higher than average... The problem was that the mansion's…-

Sitting on the edge of the bed, May roughly wiped the mucus that had formed on her sore nose. Her comical face with a strawberry nose was filled with a gloomy aura. 'I came back empty-handed again today...' Her body had turned away on its own when she met the priest's kind eyes. She glared at the compass on the bed with rare anger-filled eyes. "...Terrible." The chain attached to it rattled in response to her habitual mutter. May hadn't touched it, the compass had expressed emotion on its…

Decades ago, when the kingdom was elevated to an empire, the religion of this vast land was unified. It was a massive religious reform by the royal family, or rather the imperial family, who claimed to be descendants of the ancient sun god. 'To be precise, it was religious oppression.' They took away religious freedom from those living on imperial soil and forced belief, with the aim of strengthening imperial power. It was something the first emperor, a tyrant and conqueror, would do. Considering…

"...Do take care of yourself even after leaving the ducal household." Staring blankly at the old man's face, May snapped back to reality at his additional words and belatedly replied while accepting the severance pay note he handed over. "Ah, yes.... But, I've never hated Aiden. He's a bit scary, but..." "......" "He's the only one in the ducal household who speaks to me... So even when he was harsh, I was always grateful..." Seeing her relaxed, smiling face, Benedict didn't respond further.…

'There won't be time to talk when seeing him off, and he won't receive letters during the trip...' She was about to say that she probably couldn't go on the trip anyway. She had learned about a family she didn't know existed, and because of that, she would be leaving the ducal household. May hesitated for a while in front of the closed door even after being kicked out of the room. She had never disobeyed Aiden's orders before, but this time she deeply considered whether she should. If he found out…

May's master, Aiden Hale, the third prince of the Duke of Hale family, was an extremely sensitive and fastidious person. "May, a hot cloth..." From the start, he only entrusted his personal care to May among the dozens of low-ranking employees, except for his close aides who served him closely. 'It seems the young master forgets every time that I'm in charge of cleaning....' "Hurry." "Ah, yes...!" "...You're slow." His blue eyes were full of irritation. In the early dawn, Aiden, who…

Clatter. The large black eyes moved busily as if they were about to make a sound. Seeing that aimless gaze, the person added an explanation in a calm voice. "The section you're looking at now contains information about real estate. It includes the mansion, of course, and some of the surrounding land." "Ah! Yes, yes... I see...!" May nodded her head vigorously in response, but... in reality, she didn’t understand the content even after hearing the explanation. No matter how many times she…

11. Incomprehensible The horse's clip-clopping pace subtly quickened. Jade called out to him in a harsh voice. "Izer, slow down. You'll scare away all the game. Is this a racetrack?" "You're the one who brought someone who didn't want to come." "But you said you were bored at home. Training has a daily limit, and Wendy scolds me if I overwork myself, yet she's too busy playing with Celian when she tells me to stay still......" "Isn't it good…-

The tedious explanation continued. How to divide the assets, how much compensation, how to announce it to the press given their public status, and the responsibility if any defamation occurs..... After a long discussion, the lawyer put down the thick stack of documents and stood up. "Everything we just discussed is in here. Though I explained it grandly, your secretary probably knows most of this content. Please review it, and feel free to contact me if there's anything…

Doctor Caleb had never called her Lian. The old-fashioned middle-aged gentleman had drawn a line, saying people would look unfavorably if he used her nickname. "Lian......" Her gaze, which had been fixed on Brill's large eyes, turned forward. He approached like he’s about to bury his face in Brill's fur. With the horse in front and that person behind, she wasn't sure if there was anywhere else to escape to......" The moment his arms wrapped around her waist, Celian sensed it. Too…
