I brushed away the flowing hair and lifted my head. As the day began to set, the blue moon appeared along with the gradually darkening sky. A strong wind blew, and the smell of blood wafted in. 

"Your Highness, I think that's enough." 

Jayden, my aide, said while inserting his sword into the wriggling monster under his feet. As I watched the dying monsters being torn apart as a joke, I suddenly remembered the conversation I had a week ago. 

"Who said it was cruel to me because I said that the rabbit would be crushed?"

The day I first met Sharkis Visenna, we didn't go straight to the North. 

A long time has passed since Sharkis signed the contract prepared by the Archduke.

A week’s time had been given and I got ready to leave to the northern region during this time.

The butler had packed my luggage and everything that I needed, so there was nothing else that I had to pack.

What I had to prepare for was to learn basic etiquette so as not to fall onto the wrong side of Duke Eustia.

“I knew that the dirty dogs of Visenna were drooling over Yekart but—.”

Sharkis cut off Ferze's words, with his face trying to convey that this was a misunderstanding.

“Ah, that was what Duke Eustia wanted. Not me. It was also under his orders that time I kidnapped your father.”

Sharkis insisted on his innocence, but Ferze and Sharkis were both the same kind of villains to my eyes.

'As a maid, I don't get the support of the temple like Rienna.'

As soon as I had clearly made up my mind, I decided that I should first greet him.

Whether or not this man was Visenna’s eldest son, I have to keep my manners as a maid.

In any case, there is no way that Sharkis himself would be here when the two families hate each other so much. I just hope the man is his representative.

After the party, Regina returned to the mansion and followed Arsene to his office. 

Arsene, untied his cravat from his neat ties, leaned against his desk and looked at her.

"How was it?"

The purple eyes, which were slowly opened, maybe a little tired, met her eyes.

Having received all kinds of attention, Regina tried not to listen to the whispering in her ears.

She's already learned that she'd rather not listen to such nonsense.

It was a fact she found out occasionally hanging out with Kai and Isota, who she used to be the protagonist of the story.

"Duke Greroy!"

"Nice to meet you, Duke Haynes."

It was a known fact from the novels that he had killed his own biological father. Was it because she read it as a novel?

She just wondered if it was because he was a crazy villain. He was the type of person who would remove all obstacles that stood in the way of his goals. She had nothing to expect from a man without morals.

But she didn't know what the person who tried to kidnap her meant, and told her about Arsene killing his own father, maybe she thought it could be a weapon for her?
