The luxurious and large blue-painted door showed off its grandeur. The silver hinge decoration on the door added to its splendor.
“Thank you for guiding me.”
The rooms used by the winners of the hunt on the Island of Athena were the second-best in the summer palace, next to those used by the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince.
A VIP room that opens only when a foreign King visits. When Odette opened the door, the sea seen through the open balcony window was incredibly beautiful.
She was very satisfied with the fact that it was very large and, above all, cool and splendid.
“Wow, this room really doesn’t suit you.”
If only Dolly's whining were gone.
'Here we go again. That annoying habit of talking.'
Dolly was quite skilled at getting on people's nerves and gradually causing their mentality to crack as the conversation continued.
'You're still opening my trunk and drawers without permission?'
The moment she explodes, Dolly distorts the story and creates rumors to make her look like the weirdo.
'That kid was really good at making up rumors.'
“...”
Odette sat on the sofa, ignoring Dolly's words and actions as if she was invisible.
Then, Dolly, who was furious, followed her and sat down on the opposite side of her sofa. Then as if she was trying to show off, she fiddled with an expensive teacup and said,
“Here, even the smallest gadgets are all 'real' expensive luxury items? The person who prepared this room must be sad. He must have worked hard to prepare this without knowing that the fake girl would use it.”
It seems that what happened in the greenhouse garden this afternoon has had quite a big impact on Dolly.
It looks like she's trying to counterattack Odette right away.
'I guess she wants me to get hurt just as much as she does.'
Odette glanced at Mrs. Becker.
Mrs. Becker just stood by the door, looking at the situation with a sense of delight.
'Is it okay for you to watch this kind of pleasure when you can't fight me?'
“You have a great sense of empathy, Dolly.”
She thought she would be a spectacle for her, at least for the sake of prenatal education, but unfortunately, Dolly was too low-level.
“How about applying that empathy to the person who prepared the Athena Cream? How sad would that be? Who would have thought that a maid would confidently apply that specialty product that even the Emperor puts on top of his jam?”
If you want to make someone angry, you have to laugh out loud. What if you're being serious?
When Odette reminded her of a hot, embarrassing anecdote, Dolly immediately shut up.
'As expected, it's a sewer.'
Odette was already very accustomed to such nonsense thanks to her sister from her previous life. Thanks to Han Song-i, who had an overwhelming talent for making people angry.
A child who always had a coquettish smile and a way of speaking that gently grated on one's nerves. A child who was incomparably more meticulous than Dolly.
“Sister. What’s wrong? Were you upset when I introduced myself as a high school graduate earlier? Hey, where are the college graduates here? We’re all high school graduates until the year after next.”
Dolly chewed her fingernails in insult. Now Odette can finally rest a little.
She turned her gaze toward the sea visible from the sofa. The sea under the moonlight was so beautiful that it almost dazzled her.
Odette legs, which had lost all feeling after being on her knees for two hours, were slowly starting to relax.
She didn't want to fall in front of these people, so she struggled to drag her numb legs all the way here.
'It was the right thing to do to push the pharmacist into the summer palace, after all.'
She leaned back on the sofa and thought.
The drugs that were to be injected into Karl had already been switched to sleeping pills using Damian, so of course, the effects of the brainwashing drugs were all lies.
The pharmacist who came to see her father earlier was the one who took care of Gisela's son. He was a trash pharmacist who sold expired and damaged herbs.
'After all, the correct answer is not reporting, but threatening.'
When she threatened to throw him in jail using that as an excuse, he begged and said he would do anything she told him to do. He cried and said that prison was scary.
At first, he was just trying to extort money from Gisela... Doesn’t ‘I’ll do anything you tell me’ mean the same thing as ‘Please, tell me anything’?
A cowardly and timid petty criminal with a mean and evil subject. Those rats were useful.
While the big-time bastards are unpredictable and difficult to deal with, these petty criminals are very easy to use.
It's also convenient that no matter how strange the order is, it doesn't require unnecessary vomiting.
For example, orders like 'Find the weed seed that resembles the precious seed that is worth calling' or 'Keep it in the summer palace'.
The medicinal herbs her father bought were exactly like the precious seeds in shape, but they were actually weed seeds.
You have to read dozens of thick plant guides and look through hundreds of thousands of weed seeds to find the weed seed that is almost identical to the precious seed.
'Even though my conscience was in the Middle East, I was still an expert at spotting the difference.'
All she did was infiltrate Damian among the lab staff and spread rumors that there was a farmer who only dealt with expensive seeds.
Because of Ferdinand's personality, it was obvious that he would come looking for the conman she had prepared without even properly verifying it.
'It was easier to make it into a summer palace apothecary.'
Because she told him all about the types of questions that will be on the pharmacist exam.
In <Redemption>, there was an episode where Charlotte was studying past exam questions from last year while taking the 'Imperial Palace Pharmacist Selection Exam'.
'I'm so grateful to Gisela for giving me such a useful rat. I know she wants to throw him in jail right away for giving her son the rotten herb, but she willingly gave it to me first.'
Even to hide the fact that Odette was in charge, Gisela took on the role of relaying orders to that piece of trash.
Dear Gisela, I was thinking of using this little rat to good use and then throwing it away, if only for the sake of her brave heart.
The astronomical sum of money her father gave her for seeds is being safely kept by Goetz.
'Come to think of it, I need to check the inventory function too.'
If it's the same as <Redemption>, there will also be a money-related function in the inventory.
But she couldn't call the inventory right away because Dolly was talking to her with a determined expression.
“Now that I look at it, you really are a cunning person.”
"Cunning?"
Odette was dumbfounded by the words.
“I was so naive. I thought of this girl as just a simple person.”
Dolly continued speaking with an expression full of resentment.
“You watered me in the greenhouse garden... That was your scheme, wasn’t it? Aren’t you ashamed? Even though you’re a superior and can’t embrace your subordinates.”
Odette gave a bewildered smile to Dolly, who kept glaring at her.
“It’s a scheme. What an interesting fantasy.”
"Miss."
“Where in the world would you find such a trivial scheme as asking someone to put cream on their bread? If such a scheme exists, it would be even funnier if it worked.”
It was a backstabbing remark made to Dolly, who did not know the basic manners that a maid should know.
“Are you done talking now?”
“If that’s what you call a scheme, then aren’t you the schemer? You’re the only one who prevented me from even having the basics of being a maid.”
Dolly's voice became louder as she became more agitated.
“If you hadn’t told me to put on the cream, I wouldn’t have been a laughing stock! You were the one who embarrassed me, weren’t you?!”
“Is it me who has embarrassed you? Have you always blamed others like this whenever you have been criticized or embarrassed? Then I understand. Why have you not been up to the basics?”
“How can you say such harsh things just because you don’t know a few basic things-”
“It’s not called basic because it’s easy. It’s called basic because it’s the most important. Seeing you call it that, I can clearly see your rock bottom and the limits of your future.”
Dolly didn't know, but Han Soo-wan grew up watching Han Song-i. Odette was one step ahead when it came to gently scratching at her nerves while smiling brightly.
Dolly, who was sighing in frustration, eventually gave in to the evil and shouted.
“Miss, you seem like a real lady right now, don’t you? ...You’re fake. Your bloodline is fake, and your status as a Purifier is fake! Just because other people don’t know it’s fake doesn’t make it real!”
“...”
“If I go out this door and say one word, ‘Young lady, you’ll be ridiculed in an instant, right?”
Odette did not argue any further.
'I won.'
Dolly was so intoxicated with her sense of victory that she didn't notice that Odette's teal eyes were shining with joy.
'I've been waiting for you, Dolly. For this moment when you're spitting threats out of your mouth.'
From the moment Dolly first entered the room and began to scratch her, Odette had noticed that Dolly had something to gain by scratching her.
'There's no way the Count wouldn't have strengthened his surveillance. He must have said something to Dolly. He told her to come and report any sign of something strange.'
That's why Dolly wanted Odette to get angry. So that she would have an excuse to go and report to the Count.
Lady Odette got angry at me like this. I think her personality has changed... She reported this to the Count to gain his approval.
'If you want something, you shouldn't be swayed by emotions, Dolly.'
Now Odette had no need to spare herself.
“Then why don’t you go outside and say that I’m not the real one, but a fake girl?”
Odette got up, walked to the door, and threw it open.
As the door opened, the palace maids passing by in the hallway secretly glanced inside.
Dolly's face turned pale.
“Thank you for guiding me.”
