Anna glared at Julietta, as if she had done the worst thing in the world. Killian, who was watching the scene, ordered Sir Albert.

“Who do you think is the most falsely charged person here?”

Albert stared at Julietta unknowingly. Never before had this child been so peaceful after being promoted to the Prince’s bedroom maid. Albert, in particular, was willing to take bolder action to protect Julietta, as the Prince had been very satisfied and praised him for choosing the right maid.

He turned his head and looked carefully at the black-haired maid who had troubled him, putting the Prince in a bad mood. According to the head maid’s report, the maid Anna’s assessment was not very good. She complained about being demoted to a cleaning maid and she did not get along with Julietta, because she thought her place had been taken by her.

Killian asked Julietta, who proudly sputtered out her words and then showed signs of embarrassment. “What’s an outcast?”

He understood what it meant, but he asked her because it was so funny that she felt a little awkward, and she frowned.

“Well, the sole person in the crowd? Is someone full of integrity? The only figure among liars? In other words, it is a crane who does not want to match with heads with chickens; that’s what it means.”

‘You mean you’re a loner, without a close friend, now?’

Killian smiled at Julietta, who turned her head shamefully after she explained the term “outcast” to her best advantage, turned to Moira again.

“Who did you hear that from?”

As the look that had been settled down for a while became icy again, Moira faltered and turned toward Anna. Anna looked up confidently as she measured the situation.

“I see a maid who shouldn’t be in this room, Albert.”

“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I’ll kick her out right away. Jeff!”

As Jeff, who was instructed by Albert, approached, Anna pushed forward against Moira, who was standing in front of Killian.

“Your Highness, that girl said something that looked down on the Lady, asking me to wait on for her. It was so harsh that I told her before I knew it.”

Anna glared at Julietta, as if she had done the worst thing in the world. Killian, who was watching the scene, ordered Sir Albert.

“Who do you think is the most falsely charged person here?”

Albert stared at Julietta unknowingly. Never before had this child been so peaceful after being promoted to the Prince’s bedroom maid.

Albert, in particular, was willing to take bolder action to protect Julietta, as the Prince had been very satisfied and praised him for choosing the right maid.

He turned his head and looked carefully at the black-haired maid who had troubled him, putting the Prince in a bad mood. According to the head maid’s report, the maid Anna’s assessment was not very good. She complained about being demoted to a cleaning maid and she did not get along with Julietta, because she thought her place had been taken by her.

In the end, Albert pointed to Julietta as the most falsely charged person. Although he had not experienced much, she was not a girl who would gossip behind backs, judging by her behavior in the meanwhile.

Killian let out coldly at Albert’s gaze, “It is not clear who is falsely charged, so let it be dealt with according to the sin they have committed.”

At the end of the sentence, Killian disappeared into the bedroom. Sir Albert interrupted Moira as she tried to follow him quickly.

“Make ready and leave the mansion right now.”

Moira protested, getting into a lather at Albert’s words. “What the hell, did I do something wrong? Should I have listened to words that looked down on me and let it 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 has made a great mistake of calling yourself a woman of His Highness, and Anna has defied the order to not to be seen by HIs Highness. I mean, two people who shouldn’t be here right now have to leave the mansion.”

Albert spoke politely and opened the bedroom door as if to go out.

3. The Principality of Bertino

A month after Anna and Moira were kicked out, a new woman of the Prince visited the Bertino mansion.

The widow Viscountess, who was from the Kingdom of Lebatum, scoured Julietta in her first day at the mansion. From the first day on, she slapped Julietta in the face and shouted, “If I become the Prince’s concubine, I won’t let you go,” but she was kicked out after visiting the mansion two more times.

Since then, when there had been no Prince’s woman visiting the mansion for several weeks. Julietta had lived a leisurely life after a week’s vacation at the theater before she returned to the Bertino mansion.

She was taught manners and basic skills, as a maid serving the Prince should know, by Johanna in the morning, and spent the afternoon reading various books in the library of the mansion or doing what was ordered. It was such a peaceful life that she thought it wouldn’t matter if it meant staying in disguise for the rest of her life.

Today Julietta was going down to the basement to do what Johanna had ordered.

“Julietta, come out here.” Julieta, who was checking the ingredients for the new order in the food storage, 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, Julietta shook off the dust from her maid uniform and went into Johanna’s office with her head raised and her back straight as she had learned.

“Come, Julie. Hurry up and pack your belongings.”

Julietta looked at Johanna, wondering what she was talking about. Johanna held out a letter she was holding.

“The maid who has served His Highness was fired as of yesterday, huh? There’s no proper girl there or here. I am in big trouble. It’s Sir Albert’s letter to send you along in haste, because His Highness will leave today for the Principality of Bertino, but he doesn’t have time to find anyone else.”

‘What this is about throwing a stone into this quiet lake…’

Julietta managed to patch up her twisted expression. She had thought she’d finally be comfortable. She wondered if this might be a conspiracy of the dimensional dog who could not see her at ease. But she couldn’t say no, so she answered politely and went up to her room to pack.

Julietta piously swore at the dimensional dog Manny today as she put a few belongings into her bag, accepting her fate neatly.

‘Yes, let’s think of it as a little trip. I’ll leave this mansion and look around other countries this time. It won’t be long since it’s only until they get another maid, anyway. I am the only one who loses something if I go crazy, so let’s think well of it.”

Moments later, Julietta went down to the first floor with a bag of extra clothes. It had only three dresses, some underwear in it, some leftover cash after paying for her debt, and a bag for cosmetics for disguise.

“I’ll go and return.”

“Okay, I believe you will behave well, as you have learned. If you irritate His Highness, you won’t see him again, so you must devote your attention to the task at hand. Do you understand?”

‘Where is her scary and cool-headed figure from the first time?’

Johnna couldn’t stop worrying about and requested so many things. Julietta nodded to the words, as if she might never see her again if she was cut off.

“Yes, I will be more careful, and will be back after I have finished my work safely. I’ll see you later.”

Other maids who whispering in the corner did not seem to be intending to say goodbye, so Julietta said goodbye to only the head maid, and then climbed into the unglazed little carriage waiting in front of the mansion.

The carriage carrying Julietta, left Harrods Street and passed through Eloz Street, and got onto Eldira Street where the noblemen’s mansions surrounded the Imperial Castle. The district of these nobles, named after the Empress of Austern, was not a place to enter even if someone had money. It was a dream street for the newly established aristocrats or nobles who were promoted to central government posts, as the historic families with both status and financial resources were occupying sites in order of the titles of nobility, centering around Imperial Castle.
