47 – Scene 047# Destiny

*

“Hey, little girl.”

“hehehehe… ?”

Wendy opened her eyes at the feeling of a soft squeeze on her cheek.

A cat with long whiskers was looking down at her from the bedside.

“I am Master… .”

“Wake up slowly. It’s about time.”

“Nye… .”

Wendy rubbed her eyes and stood up.

The time is 4 in the morning.

It was still dark outside the window.

“Whoah… .”

He yawned and stretched.

When I turned on the light, the light illuminated the room brightly.

Wendy, who recently became an exclusive maid due to an unprecedented promotion, was assigned a private room.

It was a room so large that it was hard to believe that it was a room used by a single attendant.

It was a luxury she could never have dreamed of.

“Then you will suffer today. I will sleep from now on.”

“Nyeeng. Good night Master… .”

“Oh my.”

After a long yawn, Myohail took the place where Wendy had been lying and lay down.

It was warm and perfect for sleeping, he insisted.

Myohail curled up and fell into a deep sleep.

After checking the time, Wendy started washing her face.

After wiping off the water, I looked in the mirror and saw a girl with frizzy, curly hair still with sleepy eyes.

Wendy diligently combed her hair and put it in a ponytail.

When I did that, it seemed a little tight.

Wendy opened the closet.

There were only four sets of clothes in a closet as big as the room.

Originally, there was only one suit, but as I became an exclusive maid, it increased.

Wendy took off her pajamas and changed into workout clothes.

The time is soon approaching 5 o’clock.

Wendy hurriedly left the room and hurried past the empty hallway.

Eventually, she stopped in front of a certain door.

An antique door decorated with a black lion symbolizing the Ruelberta family.

It was her master’s room.

“Whoa… .”

I was always nervous at this moment.

Wendy touched her hair one last time and carefully knocked.

smart.

“Count. Is it okay if I come in?”

“Well.”

When I opened the door, a man was standing in front of the window.

A sharp-looking man with obsidian hair.

It was her master, Tristan Ruelberta.

“Joe, good morning… .”

“yes.”

Tristan was already ready.

Like her, she is wearing a tracksuit.

Originally, he used to jog around the mansion grounds every morning, but because of his injury, he stopped walking.

It was a result of Wendy’s persistent persuasion.

The two left the mansion to exercise.

Wendy trotted up close to Tristan’s side.

“Count, how are your wounds?”

“Okay.”

“You can’t overdo it today… .”

“yes.”

“The doctor also told me to rest absolutely until Boo’s injury heals.”

“yes.”

“You seem to have lost a lot of weight all of a sudden… .”

At that time, Tristan, who was leading the way, stopped.

“Wendy.”

“Nyeet?!”

“I have a lot of worries today.”

If it was the usual Wendy, she might have bowed her head first, begging for apologies.

But lately, unknown courage has been welling up in her.

“That’s because that’s my job… .”

“… … Is that so?”

Tristan replied languidly.

And then he started walking again.

Chasing after the unchanging back, Wendy realized.

The fact that his stride was shorter than before.

‘… Count.’

Wendy thought.

Tristan is still feared among the servants of the mansion.

With an arrogant and cold attitude, there is no close aristocrat around, and the majority of the perception is that he is the worst aristocrat who abuses power with the power of money.

yes. Maybe it really is.

Wendy didn’t know everything about Tristan either.

But Wendy knew.

That they can say anything about Tristan because they don’t know anything about it.

And they didn’t know

That Tristan is a person who knows how to match the stride of a slow walker.

That he is a person who knows how to listen to the words of a slow-spoken person.

That he is a person who knows how to hold the hand of a person who cannot climb the stairs.

Also, being a person who knows how to trust someone.

And… That he is someone who knows how to be someone’s trust.

“… !”

Wendy quickly put her hand on her chest.

If I don’t do that, my heart will ache and I won’t be able to bear it.

Wendy felt her tiny heart beating fast.

As the time spent with the Count increased, he seemed to understand him a little.

But the more she understood him, the more Wendy was seized by an unknown feeling.

‘Count… Am I okay… ?’

Wendy looked at Tristan cautiously.

Perhaps because of the twilight of dawn, his expression looked dark.

A face that seemed lost in thought but somehow sad.

Wendy hesitated.

Can I really keep getting to know him like this?

Would she dare to know him?

“Wendy.”

“Yeah heh?!”

I thought my heart stopped.

Looking up, Tristan was looking down at Wendy.

“My feet stopped.”

“Sorry, sorry… ! I’m thinking of something else… .”

“… … rest for a while.”

“Yes?”

“I think I’ve walked quite a bit at this point.”

When Wendy looked around, she realized that she had walked as far as she could see the mansion in the distance.

“Well, then I’ll find a place to rest right away.”

“done.”

Tristan sat down on the grass as it was.

“Bae, Count… ! You can’t sit in a place like that!”

“I’m tired, so I’ll rest like this.”

As long as Tristan was stubborn, Wendy couldn’t help it either.

Wendy hesitantly sat down next to him.

The grounds of the mansion were spacious and quiet.

Even if we add up all the fields in the village where Wendy lived, it would be smaller than here.

She could feel the enormous wealth of the Ruelberta family.

Then, Tristan opened his mouth.

“Tell me about the Ruelberta family.”

“Yes… ?”

Wendy’s eyes widened at the sudden question.

No, I was even more surprised because he had never asked such a question in the first place.

Wendy carefully opened her mouth.

“That… I know they are the most famous family in the Meikahel Empire… .”

“Why are you famous?”

“uh? uhh… that, that’s it… They say they do a lot of business, buying from all over the empire… I heard… So no one knows… .”

“is it.”

“Nyeet! Well, I came from farming in the countryside… Now, I don’t know the details… .”

I couldn’t bear to say that I was notorious, so Wendy had to sweat.

Even so, she couldn’t bring up such a story in front of the head of the Ruelberta family.

Wendy made a desperate excuse, but Tristan wouldn’t give her a chance to get out.

“Then let me change the question.”

“Yes?”

“What do you think of Ruelberta?”

“Uh, what do you think?” ?”

“I am not stupid. The notoriety of the Ruelberta family is well known. just asking for your thoughts so… .”

Tristan continued in a soft voice.

“You can be honest.”

Why is he suddenly asking this question?

There was no way for her to know.

However, there was something magical about those words that could not be denied.

As if enchanted, Wendy opened her mouth.

“I am… At first I thought it was a scary place. People around me said only bad things about the count’s family. Destroying people with money and making it fun… He has connections with the underworld, so he eliminates all those who disobey… .”

Tristan, who had been silently listening to Wendy’s words, opened his mouth.

“If they are right… What are you thinking?”

“Yeah… ?”

“Luelberta is a more terrifying family than you think.”

Tristan was staring into the distance.

With Wendy making an expression she didn’t know yet.

“Maybe you regret the fact that you worked for our family.”

When she said that she would become an attendant of the Ruelberta family, everyone around her stopped her.

Don’t go to such a cursed family.

The curse will spread to you too.

you will definitely regret it

Despite such pressure, Wendy entered Ruelberta as an attendant.

There was also a reason why I could hear news of my brother if I worked in the city.

But looking back, it was fate that moved Wendy.

The moment she heard the name Ruelberta, she felt something irresistible.

yes. All I can say is that I felt doomed.

Tristan’s gaze slowly turned to Wendy.

“And will you still be by my side?”

Without avoiding his gaze, Wendy slowly opened her mouth.

“I’m sorry… . Count. I do not serve House Ruelberta… .”

Wendy realized she wasn’t wrong.

“I serve the Count… .”

Her destiny was here.

“I will only serve the Count from now on.”

At that time, Wendy didn’t know what kind of expression she was making.

However, the sun began to rise slowly in the distance, and Tristan covered his face with one arm as if he was dazzled.

“… Serving me is difficult.”

“It’s okay… !”

“It will also be terrifying.”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”

“Sometimes you will want to run away.”

“No, I will try my best not to run away… … . Maybe.”

“… … is it.”

The arm that covered Tristan’s face slowly lowered.

“!”

At that moment, Wendy seemed to see Tristan smile for the first time.

No, it could have been Wendy’s misunderstanding.

Because his face said it with a hardened expression as if it had been like that when.

“Then are you prepared to see the darkness of the Ruelberta family from now on?”

Wendy’s answer was already decided.
