Chapter 157
Derick suddenly turned around and called me. ’Did he notice?’My heart was about to pop out of my chest. I checked if my sleeves covered the back of my hand and managed to raise my head."Excuse me, did you call me?"I didn’t have to act, because I have the husky voice of a servant.Two persons came out. The orange gauge bar above Derick’s head shines clearly in the dark. I gulped. "You looks like a servant from the mansion," said the other man who looked at me from head to toe. "What brings you here?""Ah..I’m here to pick up the laundry for the imprisoned slave." I calmly gave the answer I had prepared."Slave? By whose command?" "Princess’s""Princess?"At that moment, his blue eyes’ pupils dilated. Soon, however, he crumples his forehead as if he was displeased."Penelope. Did she make you do it?" "N-no. Yvonne... The young Miss did."This content is taken from lightnovelpub[.]comI looked at his reaction as I said it. I purposely didn’t avoid his gaze.It was a lie, but he might be suspicious for no reason. The guy who went out could have gone to check with the heroine. Then, there would be no more trouble.Cold sweat tricked down my neck. Suddenly..."Be careful with what you say." Said Derick, who seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, suddenly retorted ferociously."You’re easy to go around spouting things that aren’t confirmed yet. You must have been told to be careful."I was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of conversation. ’You asked me first, why are you getting angry?’(TL Note: this is why no one like you, Derick)After grumbling,’I’ll be damned if you started treating me very well.’Suddenly, in my mind came Yvonne who also talked about what she suffered from her brothers who were ill-tempered in the beginning of the week.For more, visit lightn/ovelpub[/.]com’You’re such a nasty character’But I quickly bowed my head, for I was in a position of great trouble if he were to find out. "Ah... I-I’m sorry, Young Duke! I’ll correct it! I’m so sorry!"’Let’s bow down up to 90°, like a servant.’It’s a pitiful sight.Derek asked, with his eyes looking down in all haughtiness, "Are you new?" "Yes, yes!""That’s strange. This day is really full of weird things..."My heart sank once again at his words. I couldn’t answer and was just frozen."You may go."Derrick’s permission finally fell with a clap of his tongue.Eclise said to herself with a real doll-like face, as if he was a few days old. At that moment.
