Nine out of ten maids refused to take over from Keynes. At that time, Keynes was marked as an incompetent child by the family.
The maids couldn’t get a big advantage if they had to be in charge of Kayneth, who was less important. It’s not that the promotion is fast, and the salary doesn’t increase to a large width.
In addition, all the maids looked uneasy at the fact that the place of work would be changed to the system.
On the other hand, Rin, who belonged to 1 in 10 people.
Despite the change of location, she decided to take full responsibility of Keynes.
As a result, up to now, he has been promoted more quickly than anyone else, and has been showing a winning streak while receiving a high annual salary.
I must say I was lucky.
“Mister Kayneth is an important presence in the Speyone family, but now he is also the head of the Ardennes family, so from now on, you should take good care of him by his side. You’re still 15.”
Can we really see him as an ordinary 15-year-old boy?
Rin just laughed awkwardly at Nina’s remark. No other story was brought up.
“Anyway, good job. I have to go and dispose of the dishes and teacups that Lady Serene broke… … .”
“… … What happened to you, lady?”
Nina smiled bitterly at Rin’s question.
“You must be in a bad mood. It wasn’t enough that he was expelled from the academy, and he even broke off the engagement with His Highness the Crown Prince. Last year, he assaulted the maids and caused a commotion. Besides, he caused a commotion by throwing everything, including art and accessories, on the floor… … . Ugh.”
Is it because of that? This time, the maids who were trying to take on Serene’s duties had disappeared.
It’s not a matter of promotion. She is afraid of Serene’s behavior, which shows mental problems.
“The child who was in charge of Lady Serene this time submitted a letter of resignation. So now I’m in charge of Miss Serene.”
It’s a situation that’s no different from an extreme job.
For Nina, every day was hard.
How hard it must be to have to clean up the broken dishes every day, clean the messy bedroom, and listen to Serene’s wrath right in front of your eyes.
“The assault is gone, but… … . Whoa, I wonder if it would be good for me to get a job with the Ardennes family. I’ll ask you well then. Seniors.”
At Nina’s playful comment, Rin waved her hand.
“I am the maid of the Spayone family. I wasn’t hired by Arden… … .”
“Still, if I ask Master Keynes, he’ll get me a job right away, right? Why would a dedicated maid be a dedicated maid? There are so many opportunities to contact the owner and a lot of time to talk, so it’s a dedicated maid. or not… … Did you make any mistakes?”
“no. What can I say is a mistake… … .”
But is it because he reported Keynes’s life to his family every time? A little guilt arose.
“Well, the story that I just asked you to be kind is a joke, but for later, it would be nice to get close to Master Keynes. It’s all fate, and it can work like a personal connection later on.”
Then, Rin smiled bitterly at the story that there were overflowing maids who wanted to talk to Kayneth.
Nina stroked Rin’s hair once, then raised her right hand and spread her index finger as if to warn her.
“As you well know, presumptuous behavior must be avoided. Right now, among your juniors, you are in a relationship with Master Keynes. It seems that there are quite a few children with strange delusions.”
“… … Yes, I know. The fact that I, a commoner, have feelings for Master Keynes, who has become Count… … It is something that should never happen.”
It’s very unfortunate, but as long as the status system exists. The love between an aristocrat and a commoner cannot be easily achieved.
Especially if it was a high-ranking aristocrat called a count and a maid from a commoner.
Nina laughed bitterly and passed Rin right away.
“I’ll stop and see. Good job.”
“Yes, seniors suffer too.”
After bowing her head to Nina, Rin leaves immediately. She met her fellow maids in the kitchen and chatted for a while.
And with about 30 minutes left until dinner time, I waited in front of Kayneth’s bedroom.
rattle.
“let’s go.”
Kenneth leaves the bedroom.
Lin followed him down to the restaurant on the first floor.
When Kayneth took his seat, Lynn waited, clinging to the wall of the restaurant.
Then, Celia and Phyllis’ party entered the dining room, and finally, Gran took the seat of honor.
Dinner started in such a heavy atmosphere.
‘As expected, the atmosphere is very different from when I dine with Lady Sophia.’
Stiff conversations and hardened facial expressions.
I feel like I am out of breath.
Obviously, the food looked luxurious and delicious. It is made by the best known chef in Korea, so it must be delicious.
But will the food really go down your throat in this atmosphere?
‘Whoa… … . Seriously, working at the Bocchan’s mansion was much better.’
At least I felt more comfortable than here.
Rin came to realize at least a little the reason why her fellow maids expressed their envy towards her.
When I thought of the seniors and colleagues who would go through hardships due to Serin’s behavior, I felt really sorry.
Tumble.
“Go in and rest.”
“all right. Please call me anytime if you need anything.”
When Keynes entered the bedroom, Lynn immediately opened the door to the next room.
A 15-pyeong private bedroom given to dedicated maids. Inside, all the furniture was furnished, including beds, wardrobes, chests of drawers, tables, and chairs.
There is even a toilet and shower room, so literally, most of the convenience is guaranteed.
From noble mtl dot com
Lin sat down on a chair and had a little tea time.
And I was prepared to run to the master’s call at any time.
One of the best things about being Kayneth’s personal maid was… … .
“It means you have a lot of time to rest.”
A dedicated maid who always has to run to her master’s call. Even the personal task of asking for water has no choice but to wait.
But in Kayneth’s case, he usually took care of such personal matters himself.
How grateful she was as a maid.
“Well, if I go back to the system, this life will be over, but… … .”
Still, I felt more comfortable in Jedo’s mansion than in Spay One’s mansion.
“I became close with my co-workers there, and I am receiving individual allowances in a good welfare environment… … .”
Rin smiled a little and sipped her tea slowly.
At 9 p.m., she changed into pajamas and immediately put the maid’s clothes in the closet.
“You worked hard today too.”
She lay down on the bed while handing me a word that she had suffered.
That moment.
Follow me!
The silent call bell started to ring.
Chapter 127
127. Church headquarters (2)
Rin gasped to her feet at the ringing of the call bell. She hurried to Kayneth’s bedroom.
smart smart
“Did you call?”
Seeing Rin rushing out in her pajamas, Keynes raised his right hand as if he was sorry.
He left the bedroom with his coat on and looked at Rin while adjusting his clothes.
“I think I will have to leave until tomorrow morning. So you can sleep in tomorrow.”
“yes? where are you going… … .”
“I don’t know the exact location. First of all, since I have to leave with the head of the house, rest in peace in the morning.”
Rin hung her head in a daze for a moment.
“ah… … . all right. Be careful.”
“Okay, I’m sorry I disturbed you while you were sleeping.”
“no.”
Kayneth passed Lynn and walked straight to the room.
Returning to her bedroom, Rin let out a small sigh and lay down on the bed.
“… … Like the boy said, let’s sleep in a bit tomorrow.”
Is it because I can sleep comfortably until morning?
A small smile trickled from her face. And I was sincerely relieved to have the owner, Kayneth.
It is natural for the employee to respond to the call of the owner. However, he apologized with an apologetic look and was considerate of himself.
A dedicated maid is a being who quickly gets up and runs to the master’s call even at dawn.
Sometimes it is hard, but instead, individual tasks were not given separately, and personal facilities were equipped for convenience, and the rank was higher than that of ordinary maids, and the salary could also be added.
“If you think about the ranks of the maids who worked with me… … . It’s like I’ve been promoted super fast. Besides, they say my salary is more than twice as high as those kids… … .”
Lin laughed lightly as she hugged the blanket tightly.
“I’m really glad I got to serve Master Keynes.”

“Are you ready?”
I nodded at Grans’ question.
He put on a black coat over a black suit, had a subspace pocket in his pocket just in case, and an endairon in the sky, and everything was ready.
After a while, Servan came with two horses.
Grans and I got on the horse and hurriedly left Karvan City and entered the nearby forest.
This is the forest where the demons were hunted a few years ago.
‘… … I can’t think of what’s coming, maybe because of Gran’s demon.’
We reached the depths of the forest without a single collision with the monsters.
And did you come to meet me? A black wagon was prepared deep in the forest.
“Get on.”
I nodded at Grans’ gesture and boarded the carriage.
Then, I checked to see if the necklace type magic tool hung on my shoulder was working properly.
Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any major problems.
I let out a small sigh.
Rather… … .
“There are no windows.”
“The headquarters of the church is located in a place that only part of it is known to, except for members directly under the headquarters.”
“ah… … .”
After all, even if I became a second-class member, I wouldn’t tell me the location of the church’s headquarters.
If it hadn’t been for the five or six spirits sent by Elaim and the Endairon I called, they hadn’t followed me from the sky… … .
I had to be at least relieved.
“For reference, all church members sign a mana contract of confidentiality and absolute obedience.”
Oops, are you really writing an absolute obedience contract?!
“me too… … Are you writing that contract?”
At my question, Gran nodded.
In an instant, my heart crashed! sat down
but… … .
“Originally, it should have been. But you are an exception.”
exception?
“All apostles like me did not write contracts. With an apostle-level skill, the curse of the contract could be lifted in no time. And the religious leader and the apostles each have their own purpose.”
“purpose… … is it?”
“I should tell you a little bit about the past.”
Well, the travel time will be quite long anyway. If I could get any information, it was a great welcome for me.
I listened to Grans’ story.
“When the Labadian Empire was founded, who do you think made the greatest achievement?”
“yes? that… … .”
Families such as Berield, Delante, and Spey One came to mind.
However, Grans’ answer exceeded my expectations.
“The greatest founding contributor of the empire is… … They are the black magicians.”
“yes?”
I was startled.
Warlocks were involved in the founding of the empire? What the hell was the author thinking of?
But the thought didn’t last long. Because I had to focus on Grans’ story now.
“The warlocks who took the lead on the battlefield to establish an empire. They are the true founders of this empire. However, as the years passed, the empire… … No, the world began to despise warlocks. How can a human possess a demon? And the real hunt began. The black magician’s hunt.”
“Well, something like that… … .”
“Even the first emperor of the Labadian Empire only uses warlocks as chess pieces. I had no intention of accepting them in the first place. Rather, they say he made up an excuse to hunt warlocks.”
Grans’ story gave me goosebumps for a moment. This is because such a story does not exist in the history of the founding of an empire.
Could it be that the imperial family is deliberately hiding it?
“In this way, several family heads who learned black magic, including the Spey One family, hid their identities and secretly established a church called ‘Chaos’. And over the generations, the cult has grown in strength. To destroy the imperial family one day.”
Grans took a sip of water as if to quench her thirst.
“There were five churches founded by black magicians outside of Korea. And 27 years ago, a man appeared and united the denominations of the continent into one.”
one guy.
I knew who he was.
“no way… … .”
“Yes, he is the current headmaster. Originally, this Death Parade was an organization created by integrating the six religious denominations.”
My shoulders trembled as if I had heard a shocking fact. I feel like my whole body is frozen.
Around the time my hands got cold, Grans continued.
