***

I felt somewhat relieved when I saw the wise man who had done wrong, but upon realizing it, I couldn’t laugh about it purely because it was my fault for not managing my employees properly.

To be exact, it was the maid’s fault for doing it alone, even though she was given a turn to share the arrangements.

“Would you like to go in first? I have something to talk to Miss Rene here.”

Ouch!

As the door closes, I turn to the wise man and tell him what I need to do.

“If possible, I would like to check the treatment of the woman who embarrassed me… But since I heard that from him, I will go back to Geumgyu.”

The voice is really cold, having just heard such words from the warrior. It wouldn’t be strange for even the wisest person to feel discouraged. If I were to be scolded by the warrior, I would probably not be able to raise my head like the wise man.

Especially if it’s not my fault but something that happened because of my subordinates.

“Thank you for your hard work, Sage. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even known that this had happened.”

Even though I was scolded by the warrior, if it weren’t for the wise man’s cooperation, I would have had a hard time raising my head.

When you asked me to cooperate, I was honestly skeptical, but I didn’t know you would be this proactive, so I’m really looking forward to seeing you again.

“I am the one who should be grateful. And I am embarrassed to show my shameful appearance.”

“Don’t say that. If I had seen that scene, I would have definitely acted like a wise man.”

“Is that so? If the princess says so, I will also refrain from talking about it.”

It’s a bit too gentle for a quiet conversation with a warrior.

If only we had been like this from the beginning.

More than that, I really hate Miss Kio who pretends to be cute and pretends to be innocent, but I’ll let it go for now. There’s something I have to take care of first.

“Miss Rene?”

“Huh?!”

“Please follow along without raising your voice lightly.”

“… Okay, Princess.”

Tooth

I couldn’t bring myself to click my tongue at the deliberately worded title, so I just kept it to myself.

Even with the door closed, it’s hard to be sure that the warrior won’t hear our current conversation. I knew this would happen and I’m using the Sage and noise-blocking magic, but I’m still hesitant.

Moreover, this impudent maid dares to defend me by pretending to be innocent so that the hero can listen, and I am worried that the hero will soon find out that she disobeyed his orders not to scold him.

I’m entering the bathhouse dreaming of the warrior’s arrangements, but if I do this from the first day, it’ll be difficult.

“Princess Lazelz? Didn’t the warrior clearly tell you to just let it go? ”

As I was walking away from the warrior’s room, I heard a voice that made me stop, which was a little annoying.

“… Miss Kio. The warrior clearly told me to do so. However, I am the master of this maid. Therefore, I have a duty to check what the maid was doing inside with the warrior. ”

It’s good to follow the warrior’s words, but being too sincere doesn’t mean there won’t be problems. Well, that’s been the case so far.

“Aren’t you curious, Miss Kio? Just like before, what tricks a servant who doesn’t even know his place tried to pull in the warrior’s bedroom.”

“… I’m worried that it might be too certain, but I will follow the princess.”

“Good idea, Kio-san.”

However, it is fortunate that the air force does not blindly follow the warrior’s opinion.

If she were to confess the truth to the warrior alone and act cute, that would be a serious problem, but would Miss Kio… really, a saint like her do that?

The wise man also looks at this Kio Yang with a suspicious eye and then turns away.

“Princess. We’re here.”

On the other side, two maids approach the wise man after bowing their heads slightly.

“I’m sorry for calling you when it’s not your shift. I have to teach you this myself, so would you mind coming in early?”

“It’s hard, Princess. It’s an honor to assist the warrior.”

Of course it should be. When will you have the honor of serving the warrior?

“Then, please take care of it.”

“Okay.”

When I said I would take her myself, the maids’ expressions towards Ms. Renée seemed closer to regret than annoyance at having made her leave early.

Of course, they also knew that Miss René had done something wrong, so they had to be careful not to end up like her.

Depending on the nature of the crime, we need to listen and decide whether to set an example or to punish appropriately to arouse the vigilance of the servants.

Even though René Yang’s attitude seemed to be like that, and the warrior told her to just ignore it, I think those words should be seen as a sign that something had happened. The warrior is kind and gentle.

After looking at the warrior’s bedroom for a moment, he quickly turned and went to an empty room.

“Ms. Rene.”

“Net!”

“Miss Rene, the maid of Baron Vierma, who took the baron’s servant as her illegitimate child and brought her in as her assistant maid?”

Because of the war with the Demon Tribe, there was a shortage of talented people, so most things were left to chance, but this kind of trouble has inevitably occurred.

“Huh, how…?!”

Stupid Miss René. She had no doubt that she had really deceived the royal family and infiltrated them with a lowly servant.

“You’re making too much fun of the royal family.”

‘Daughter-in-law!’

When I brought up the words I had been thinking about in my heart and showed my discomfort, Miss Renée became upset.

You must have known what would happen if you got caught, but your courage is pathetic compared to your actions.

“Where did that foolish, sly mouth of yours go into the warrior’s bedroom and tell him everything he did.”

Anyway, since he was just someone who tried to take the affections of a higher class being, we can just deal with him appropriately like before. Kio-san is watching over him, so he’s being gentle.

“I have committed a mortal sin, Princess!”

“Ha!”

When I ask about his criminal activities, he just buries his head on the floor and says he does it, which annoys me so much that I can’t help but furrow my brows.

I’m really disappointed.

“Ms. Rene.”

“Nenet… !”

“Wake up.”

“Net!”

Fortunately, unlike the previous dull servants, he is able to get up quickly.

“Isn’t that what I’m asking?”

“Ahhh… .”

Even though he is foolish, he doesn’t seem to be completely dull.

“Um, that’s… .”

“If you want to lie, feel free to do so. I’m just curious to see how well the liar Miss René can lie to me.”

“… Oh, my! How dare I do that, Princess! I swear I will never tell a lie! ”

If I were determined, there would be no reason to be so flustered, but it is very suspicious.

“You’re not pretending to apologize like this right now, trying to elicit sympathy, are you?”

“No, Princess! I really… .”

“Who gave you permission to talk back? I didn’t tell Ms. René to talk, did I?”

‘Hiccup!’

As the warrior said, if Ms. René is not guilty, it is a very sorry thing, but my feeling tells me otherwise.

Even though normal methods cannot harm you in any way.

If that were the case, the intention itself would have been impure and therefore difficult to tolerate.

But I can’t just accuse him without any evidence, so I guess I have no choice but to pressure him into confessing.

“Well, actually. That’s… .”

The pressure finally worked and he finally opens his mouth.

“You said you would defend me, but in fact… I put sleeping pills in your car, so that you would fall asleep… I tried to get drunk on your affection… .”

“… … Hehehe, good. You said it so well. ”

He hesitated because he had to admit to the crime he committed, but it’s okay.

Of all the employees who have been caught doing this kind of thing so far, he was the one who was dismissed the fastest.

“Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

If you stop nagging them here, they will misunderstand that you have moved on since you are no longer being asked what you did wrong, and will ask you further questions.

“As you have noticed, Princess, Ina is not my father’s illegitimate child, but a servant of our family. However, I did not sneak in for today! I only disguised Ina as an illegitimate child to strengthen my ties with the royal family, and it was only my own self-righteousness that I attempted to do such a thing to you, Hero!”

As expected, Sayuya, you definitely wouldn’t have been together without saying anything. Even in these moments, you protect my servant, so it’s not so bad.

“Then does that mean you will take the blame alone?”

“Oh, if you could do that! I would be grateful… .”

This time, she held up her skirt and displayed her manners like the daughter of a baron, which was somewhat acceptable.

But it seems inevitable that he will tremble in fear.

Smile

When people are cornered, they tend to think about how to survive on their own or try to get out by involving those around them, but I like the way Ms. Renée came up with her tricks.

If you have this level of ambition, it’s probably easier to handle.

“Okay. Then listen carefully to what I have to say.”

“Net… !”

“You told me honestly, so I’ll let it slide this time.”

“Ahh, ahhh…! Thank you, princess…! Really, I am touched by your heart that is wider than the sky! Grander than the mountain range, and deeper than the sea!”

Miss René’s face, which had turned pale as if she were about to die, suddenly regained its color and she quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.

“Instead!”

But I still haven’t finished saying everything I want to say to enjoy the feeling of being revived from the dead.

“You have to do something for me.”

“You gave me a chance even though I committed a mortal sin, so I will do as I please!”

I like it even more when you say you will do it even though I didn’t say anything about it.

Although the incident came to an end suddenly, the atmosphere is still awkward, perhaps because of Kio-san who was watching from the side.

“Miss Kio. Now that we’ve had our heartfelt conversation with Miss Renee, let’s take a break for today.”

“Ah… Is that so?”

Kio-san followed me to stop me because I was being called out as if I was going to be severely scolded, but as a result, nothing happened and she was left feeling awkward.

There is no need to show anything more than this to others.

The less people know about a plot, the better.

Even if they are colleagues who have shared life and death with you.

“Then, Princess Lazelz. I hope you have a peaceful night.”

“Good night, Kio Yang.”

As Ms. Keo left, making the sign of the cross, only Ms. Rene and I were left.

“Hoo-.”

Silently cast a noise-blocking spell on the distant sounds.

Just for conversation.

“Ms. Rene.”

“Net! Princess!”

“As I said before, I need you to work for me.”

“Okay! If it’s what you ask me to do, Princess, I’ll go into the fire.”

“Really? Then let’s go in.”

“… Yes?”

‘Hwaruk’

The only light comes from candles placed in the room, lighting a flame the size of a person in the center of the dim space.

I’ve seen enough people who are just talking, so I wanted to test if it was really possible.

If you have Kio Yang, you can easily treat the burns, but I sent you away early in case you believe me and rush in.

“Why? You said you would go into the fire if I told you to. You didn’t lie to me again to avoid the situation, did you?”

“Ah… .”

Only then did he start to regret his cubic equation.

“If you can’t do it now, just tell me comfortably. Liar Renee.”

“Ahh, ahhh… !”

It’s not a very nice sight to see your expression change from regret to despair, but if I can’t even treat you this well as a member of the royal family leading the people, it will surely come back to bite me in the future.

“You ridiculous Miss Rene. You should have known that deceiving royalty is not a light matter. And to think that you would do something like that to the hero.”

“I was wrong, princess! I! I really deserved to die!!”

Even though I was quick-witted, as expected.

I’m going to collapse here because I lack courage.

“Then die. Do you think the warrior and the royal family were beings that could be treated so lightly?”

‘Whoooosh!’

A flame that grows in momentum with anger and disappointment.

“Ugh, black… .”

Finally, Ms. Renee sheds tears.

Even if you do that, it will only make me more angry.

You said all sorts of things to try to rectify the situation, but in the end it was the same. But since the warrior told me not to reprimand her, I should announce it to the other servants and pass on the treatment of Miss René. It’s a bit of a shame that I can’t handle it myself.

“Oh, princess… .”

“Yes, go ahead.”

Just when things were starting to get a little boring, it seemed like Miss Renée had made up her mind.

“I’ll go in.”

“… Yes?”

“If it’s what the princess tells me to do, even if it’s in the fire… .”

He keeps repeating what he said, as if I thought I might have misheard. I didn’t really mishear, but honestly, I have a hard time accepting that that’s really true.

“If it’s what the princess tells me to do… I’ll go in even if it means going into the fire! ”

In that brief moment, something changed in his mind, his eyes changed and he ran towards the flames.

I was a little surprised. Just like before, he repented his sins much faster than other people.

‘Cheolpeodeok’

“Ouch-! Huh…?”

I jumped towards the fire with a desperate resolve, but when I withdrew my magic in time with my movements, I rolled on the floor.

I didn’t jump into the water to swim, so I only got bruises, but it’s a very light price to pay for talking to the hero and saving my shallow faith.

“Okay, well done. Since Miss Renee showed me the courage to go into the fire without hesitation, I will also give Miss Renee my personal trust.”

“Ah, ahh… ! Thank you… ! Thank you so much, Princess… !”

It’s the same gratitude as before, but he really seemed touched and grateful for the sincere emotion, so I think I can believe it a little this time.

So, I guess I’ll have to reorder them so that I can receive the warrior’s arrangements again.

“*Good-natured Miss Rene, it’s late at night, so go inside and rest today.”

*(Adjective: Tough and pitiful.)

Instead, since what happened today is so annoying, if you, the warrior, find it difficult to be satisfied with an ordinary wall, I will use it as a substitute for that.

“Thank you…! I will do my best, princess…!”

Hehehe.
