Bertino Mansion on Harrods Street
–
There was a time when Juliet's story appeared, when she talked to Lilian in the theater.
No matter how much she was a fan of herself, she couldn't take good care of her appearance, so she complained a lot, and Lilian said, 'Julie is a really nice girl,' and asked her to be nice to her.
She didn't need to hear it, but it was true that she had been doing a good job of supporting her, unlike the maids who used to treat her with dry alcohol before.
‘I can’t believe she said that backstage.’
After putting on a dress given to her by her personal maid, Moira looked at Anna.
“Where is Julie now?”
* * * * *
Killian suddenly burst into laughter as he sat in a carriage on the other side of Harrods Street, looking at the moonlit street.
The eyes of Albert and Jeff in front of him were round, but Killian was thinking about the mansion's new maid, not noticing anything about them.
Killian had never been aware of her gaze, as he was always surrounded by servants, maids, and knights.
They were nothing more and nothing less than bred and maids for your convenience.
After meeting a woman at the age of seventeen, he maintained an adequate sexual and social life like ordinary men.
Before he had a separate house in Harrods Street, he had brought women to his chambers in the Imperial Castle.
Then there was an incident that made him think he needed a private mansion and a maid in charge of his nightlife.
He felt that calling a woman to the Imperial Castle could raise unwanted expectations for the other party.
It was the day after his 20th birthday party.
That day, a woman began to scratch Killian's temper before he even began a love affair.
When she entered and left the Imperial Castle as his mistress, she gained another motivation in no encouragement.
If there were no problems, he wouldn't feel the need to change women, but that's why the relationship lasted more than six months.
Angry at her sneaky attempt to pressure him for an official position, Killian called the servants outside to send her away.
But it was the knights who were on guard who entered.
Knights in armor rushed in upon hearing Killian's furious call, instead of the servants and maids who had been outside for a while.
At that moment, the naked woman clinging to Killian began to scream shamefully.
The woman was taken away by a maid who returned late, but for a time a scandal circulated in the mouths of the dilettantes about Prince Bertino, who shared his wives with his knights.
It was obvious who spread the ridiculous scandal, but Killian, who didn't intend to go through this again, had the maid on standby in his room like the old aristocrats.
The old aristocrats intended to have comfortable affairs, but Killian's purpose was for her to take the role of witness that he did not share women with others.
But there was something he forgot.
When Killian, who was a dangerous person in his own presence, walked back and forth with his naked body in front of the maids, the maids were often mesmerized.
But a single maid who was not mesmerized, but even indifferent, entered.
Other maids rushed over when he called, trying to look good to him or talk to him longer, but this maid only raised her eyebrows slightly.
The look was so funny, and if he often called her for no reason, she pretended to be polite at first, but what she was thinking was revealed on her face without her knowing.
Last week, he asked her to give him a cup of tea and left it without drinking on purpose, and then he asked her to bring it back with a cup of hot tea, so she raised her eyebrows even more.
It was so funny that he ordered the same thing two or three more times, and the arrogant lady came over and said, “Your Highness, in how many minutes exactly would you like a hot cup of tea?
I think it would save tea leaves or water if I had it ready in time.”
Killian gave high marks for her imposing figure.
‘To be irrational is to be unreasonable.
However, since she is just a commoner, she will be severely criticized as soon as she opens her mouth.'In a situation where it was difficult to say nonsense, she liked to tactfully turn the other way, saying “When will you feel like this?”
While Killian had a mischievous smile today, wondering how to prank the new maid, and his carriage had already arrived near his mansion.
* * * * *
“What’s wrong with you, ma’am?”
Fixing her crooked glasses, Juliet, who didn't even know that Moira was here, asked about the unfair manner of Moira who suddenly burst into the Prince's room and slapped her across the face, saying that she was arrogant.
“How dare you think of me as something funny?”
When Moira's cracked palms curved the other cheek, Juliet also raised her voice angrily: "Just tell me why you hit me."
Moira once again raised her hand to hit a cheeky maid who was staring at her, covering her swollen and red cheeks.
“What is that noise?”
When Killian arrived at the room at the time, he frowned at the commotion in his room.
Moira bent down in a hurry with her hands down.
“Your Highness.”
“I welcome Your Highness.”
Anna greeted him with a seductive attitude upon seeing the prince, whom she saw up close for the first time in a few months.
Killian looked at the three women in the room in turn and turned to Juliet.
"What is happening?"
Juliet sighed deeply, fixing her fluttering glasses.
“I don't know either.
She suddenly appeared and slapped me in the face.”
When Killian's cold eyes turned to Moira, she began to cry anxiously.
“Your Highness, that insolent maid ignored me.
I am your wife.
Ignoring me like this would also be an act of contempt for you.
So how can I bear this?”
Moira sobbed more sadly and moved closer as if she were in Killian's arms.
Killian took a step back from Moira and gestured for her to continue.
“I just want to look beautiful for Your Highness.
In case you weren't going to visit my room, I asked her to prepare a red sheet that would match me, and it seemed funny.
I heard she said I didn't even know who I was.
Today, she even said that I would be expelled soon, so there would be no need to serve me.”
Killian turned to Juliet, whose mouth was open in embarrassment, after observing Moira, who was looking at his face with a lace scarf.
Feeling the gaze, Juliet began to protest with resentment.
“Your Highness, no.
I never said that or thought about it.
How could I say something that wasn't in your heart and I wasn't sure if you would kick Moira out or not?
And I'm not proud of it, but there's no one close enough to say that since I'm treated like an outcast.”
Killian asked Juliet, who proudly stuttered her words and then showed signs of embarrassment.
“What is an outcast?”
He understood what it meant, but asked because it was so funny that she felt a little strange and frowned.
“Well, the only person in the crowd?
Is anyone full of integrity?
The only figure among the liars?
In other words, it’s a crane that doesn’t want to combine heads with chickens, that’s what it means.”
‘You mean you’re a loner without a close friend now?’
Killian smiled at Juliet, who turned her head away in embarrassment after explaining the term “outcast” to her best advantage, turned to Moira again.
“Who did you hear that from?”
When the gaze that had been established for a while became icy again, Moira faltered and turned to Anna.
Anna looked up confidently as she assessed the situation.
“I see a maid who shouldn’t be in this room, Albert.”
“I’m sorry, Your Highness.
I will expel her immediately.
Jeff!”
When Jeff, who was instructed by Albert, approached, Anna charged at Moira, who was standing in front of Killian.
“Your Highness, that girl said something that was dismissive of the Lady, asking me to wait for her.
It was so hard that I told her before I knew it.”
