The principality of Bertino
–
Anna looked at Juliet, as if she had done the worst thing in the world.
Killian, who was observing the scene, ordered Sir Albert.
“Who do you think is the most falsely accused person here?”
Albert looked at Juliet without knowing.
Never before had this child been so calm after being promoted to the prince's chambermaid.
Albert, in particular, was willing to take bolder steps to protect Juliet, as the Prince had been very pleased and praised him for choosing the right maid.
He turned his head and looked closely at the black-haired maid who was bothering him, leaving the prince in a bad mood.
According to the maid's report, the maid Anna's evaluation was not very good.
She complained about being demoted to cleaning lady and didn't get along with Julieta, as she thought her place had been taken by her.
In the end, Albert named Juliet as the most falsely accused person.
Although he hadn't had much experience, she wasn't a girl who gossiped behind his back, judging by her behavior in the meantime.
Killian coldly let go of Albert's gaze: "It's not clear who is falsely accused, so let them be dealt with according to the sin they committed."
At the end of the sentence, Killian disappeared into the room.
Sir Albert interrupted Moira as she tried to quickly follow him.
“Get ready and leave the mansion right now.”
Moira protested, becoming nervous at Albert's words.
“What the hell, did I do something wrong?
Should I have listened to the words that despised me and let go?”
Albert shook his head at Moira's protest.
“It’s not important.
It doesn't matter who did a good job or who did a bad job.
Miss.
Moira made a huge mistake by calling herself His Highness' wife, and Anna defied the order not to be seen by His Highness.
I mean, two people who shouldn't be here now need to leave the mansion.”
Albert spoke politely and opened the bedroom door as if he was going out.

The Principality of Bertino
A month after Anna and Moira were expelled, a new wife of the Prince visited Bertino's mansion.
The widowed Viscountess, who was from the Kingdom of Lebatum, disapproved of Juliet from her first day in the mansion.
From the first day, she slapped Juliet in the face and shouted, “If I become the prince's concubine, I won't let you go,” but was expelled after visiting the mansion twice more.
Since then, no woman of the prince has visited the mansion for several weeks.
Juliet lived a life of leisure after a week's holiday at the theater before returning to the Bertino mansion.
She was taught basic manners and skills, as a servant serving the prince should know, by Johanna in the morning, and spent the afternoon reading various books in the mansion's library or doing as she was asked.
It was such a peaceful life that she thought it wouldn't matter if it meant going undercover for the rest of her life.
Today Julieta would go down to the basement to do what Johanna had ordered.
“Juliet, come here.” Julieta, who was checking the ingredients for the new order in the pantry, stopped at the sound of a maid's voice and went back upstairs.
“The head maid is looking for you.
Go to the office.”
At the maid's words, Juliet shook the dust off her maid uniform and entered Johanna's office with her head high and her back straight, as she had learned.
“Come on, Julie.
Hurry up and pack your belongings.”
Julieta looked at Johanna, wondering what she was talking about.
Johanna held out a letter she was holding.
“The maid who served His Highness was fired yesterday, huh?
There is no suitable girl there or here.
I have a big problem.
It's Sir Albert's letter to send in a hurry, because His Highness leaves for the Principality of Bertino today, but he doesn't have time to meet anyone else.
‘What’s this about throwing a stone into this peaceful lake…’
Juliet managed to fix her distorted expression.
She thought she would finally be comfortable.
She wondered if this could be a conspiracy from the dimensional dog who couldn't see her at will.
But she couldn't say no, so she replied politely and went up to her room to pack her things.Juliet piously swore to the dimensional dog Manny today as she put some belongings into her bag, accepting her fate perfectly.
'Yes, let's think of it as a little trip.
I will leave this mansion and take a look at other countries this time.
It won't take long, as it's just until they get another maid, anyway.
I'm the only one who loses something if I go crazy, so let's think about it carefully.'
Moments later, Julieta came down to the first floor with a bag of extra clothes.
She only had three dresses, some underwear, some money left over after paying off her debt, and a cosmetic bag to disguise herself.
“I go back and forth.”
“Okay, I believe you will behave well, as you have learned.
If you anger His Highness, you will not see him again, so you must devote your attention to the task at hand.
Do you understand?”
‘Where is your scary figure and cool head from the first time?’
Johnna couldn't stop worrying and asked for so many things.
Juliet nodded at the words, as if she would never be able to see her again if she were cut off.
“Yes, I will be more careful and return after finishing my work safely.
See you in the future.”
Other maids who were whispering in the corner didn't seem to have any intention of saying goodbye, so Juliet only said goodbye to the head maid and then got into the windowless carriage that was waiting in front of the mansion.
The carriage carrying Juliet left Harrods Street and passed through Eloz Street, arriving at Eldira Street, where the nobles' mansions surrounded the Imperial Castle.
The district of these nobles, named after the Empress of Austern, was not a place to enter even if one had money.
It was a dream street for newly established aristocrats or nobles who were promoted to positions in the central government, as historical families with status and financial resources occupied locations in the order of nobility titles, around the Imperial Castle.
