I stood near the door and bowed to Eudela, who beckoned me.
"Come closer."
Eudela walked up to me and looked at the spring of the sun on the table.
Then I was thrilled as if I had found gold.
"Hey, this is the fountain of the sun."
I clenched my jaw and stared at Eudela, and asked.
"Your sister has a skin disease. Where is she now?"
"She lives with my mother on the outskirts, not far from here."
"Really?"
When I finished speaking, Eudela carefully took out the money bag from her arms and held it out with both hands.
"I will not forget this favor, Princess. It may not be enough, but... all my property. I know it is similar to the current market price. It is ten million gold."
"Haha."
I laughed in vain.
Well, 10 million gold for one bath salt?
After all, it's worth calling it a miracle skin.
Perhaps she misunderstood my smile, and Eudela's complexion turned white.
"That, Princess. Well, I'll tell my mother and bring you some more money. So..."
"I won't sell it."
Yes?
When I changed my words contrary to my promise, tears welled up in Eudela's eyes again.
Oh my god. Unlike Carol, she is a very weak friend.
If I changed my mind, I thought Eudela would cry at all, so I said bluntly.
"Your sister, bring her to my mansion as soon as possible. It's a skin disease, so there's no problem with moving, right?"
"Yes? Of course. Are you going to make up for the shortfall with my sister's allowance? But my sister has weak skin, so it seems difficult to work as a maid."
"That's not the case."
Who do you see as the president of an unscrupulous usury company now?
Feeling bad, I frowned. Surprised, Eudela stepped back in surprise.
I hurried to get down to business before she misunderstood further.
"As far as I remember, your family, Rognier, is noble. Right?"
"That's right."
"It's a Viscount family, right? Ten years ago... I know that the title of Viscount Rognier passed to her cousin, not to her daughter."
Recently, I studied Imperial aristocratic families in a domestic political class, and I said as I groped my memory.
Perhaps she didn't expect me to know her family. Eudela blinked in surprise, then bit her lip tightly.
"...Yes, the previous Viscount Rognier is my father."
Carol stepped forward in place of Eudela, who could no longer speak.
"The previous Viscount Rognier has been ill for a long time. My eldest daughter, the older sister, naturally took the succession class to succeed to the title. However, when the previous Viscount Rognier passed away and was about to succeed to the title, Eudela's older sister suddenly developed a skin disease."
"Hmm."
"As her condition became more and more serious, her relatives opposed the title of Eudela's older sister. At that time, Eudela was too young, so the title was handed over to her cousin."
"They're bad people. So they took all our property. I couldn't help them in any way."
"Eudela."
Carol comforted Eudela on the shoulder.
'That'
I also clicked my tongue inside.
Well, just listening to it seems to be full of dark scenes.
Did you have a terrible skin disease around the time of the succession of the successor? Just by looking at it, it comes out. But there is no particular evidence.
"They are bad guys."
Looking at Eudela wiping her tears with the back of her hand and suppressing her emotion, I deliberately spoke calmly to judge the situation.
"Yes. Your sister was a Young lady who took the successor class, so she must be smart."
"Nothing, of course. My sister is so smart! People don't like her because of my skin disease, so she can't find a job."
"Well, that's good. I needed a secretary to assist me in my work."
"I, really? But she has a skin disease, so it's a bit difficult for the Princess to see..."
Eudela blurted out her words, perhaps worried.
"It doesn't matter. And I also want to watch from the side to see if the fountain of the sun is definitely effective for your sister's skin disease."
"Yes? then..?"
"Hmm. To be honest, I guess it's an experiment, right? I want to see if the sun's spring is effective for real skin diseases. And take the money you brought back. This is my investment item."
"Don't you get paid?"
"By the way, again, I'm going to experiment on your sister with the Fountain of the Sun. Is that really okay?"
At my words, Eudela stared blankly at me, then replied with tears streaming down her face.
"You calmly called it an experiment. You're just going to give it to me, Princess!"
"Eudela, that's good!"
Carol was genuinely happy with me.
I was somewhat embarrassed by Eudela's words, so I deliberately made a blunt expression.
"The sooner the better, so contact me and bring her here."
"Yes! Princess, I will do it. I'll make arrangements to come right away tonight!"
Carol went to take Eudela's sister to the mansion on behalf of the crying Eudela.
"Thank you..."
Eudela, who was shaking her head in gratitude, turned red around her eyes and nose.
I was amazed by such Eudela.
I can't believe that my brother thinks of me like that.
I was kind of envious.
'If I have a skin disease, Barden will ask me to get medicine like that.'
But I smiled and got out of my appreciation.
Even if I had a skin disease, I would get Barden, who was weak, not me.
By the way. Eudela didn't seem to have any intention of leaving my room after a long time.
"Aren't you going?"
"I'm off today. I will serve you until Carol returns."
'It's annoying.'
I wanted to be alone.
So I snatched her hand and strode over to get rid of Eudela.
"You should go and rest, and make your sister's room. I will tell the butler and the maid that I will let your sister live in this house."
"... Sob. Princess, I have something to say."
I dragged Eudela out into the hallway and retorted sullenly.
"What is it?"
"Princess. I admire you..."
"..."
I suddenly love the atmosphere. What is it?
Confused, I looked down at her, who was shorter than me, and froze.
Eudela blushed and looked at my hand and my face alternately, shy and shy.
"Carol was right. Oh really... The Princess is wonderful. I love you, princess, I will love you forever!"
I had nothing to say to Eudela, whose eyes sparkled like a squirrel holding an acorn, so I sighed lightly.
Well, I didn't expect that I would be so favored.
Unlike Carol, Eudela seemed to be the type of person who was very charming and couldn't hide her emotions.
I hesitated and replied.
"Yes..."
"Yes, I love you, Princess!!"
"Stop it..."
I felt my hands and feet shriveled and wanted to get rid of this charmer as soon as possible.
So I pulled Eudela's hand and walked quickly down the hallway.
"...Huh?"
But I couldn't walk for a while and stopped.
This is because I ran into Rudnine standing at the corner of the hallway leading to the stairs.
Here, why is this person?
Surprised, I couldn't say anything and stood still for a while.
Rudnine, who kept his mouth tightly closed just like me, fully exposed his body.
I couldn't believe it, so I rubbed my eyes, and as soon as I realized it was reality, I asked blankly.
"Rudnine? What's going on here...?"
"You have to call me 'Rudd,' Yvonne."
He cut off my words and strode closer to me, raising his mouth and striding closer.
He was smiling, but something was wrong.
For some reason, the planting seems to be very uncomfortable.
As soon as I noticed that this person was in a bad mood, Rudnine looked at Eudela next to me.
He glanced at Eudela for a long time with a cold gaze, and then glared at Eudela's hand that had been terribly grasped.
Then he raised the corner of one mouth.
"Do you have to hold that hand?"
"Hands?"
"Yes, it's very uncomfortable to see. You, the maid, will let go first."
Rudnine coldly asks Eudela.
No. It wasn't an asking; it was like a threat.
Do you think that, as a nobleman, holding the hand of my maid Eudela is not in line with my status?
'Oh my God. This person is secretly naive.'
No matter what, that's the case.
It seemed that the reaction was too violent.
Although he is the Duke of this empire, Rudnine is famous for not letting go of his subordinates, especially his employees.
He is such a very kind and polite person.
I whispered softly into Eudela's ear.
"Eudela, what have you done wrong to him?"
"No... nice to see you today."
Eudela shook her head in indignation.
Rudnine now bent his head stiffly, crossed his arms, and glared at Eudela openly.
"How long will you be here? Yvonne has something to do."
"Ugh!"
Surprised, Eudela hurriedly pulled out her hand from mine and bent down.
"Well, I'll come back at night, Princess."
"Yes, I'll wait."
Eudela's sister was coming soon, so she said she would come back, so I nodded and replied that I would let Eudela go.
As Eudela went, Rudnine sighed slightly.
"Yvonne."
Then he called out to me and came closer. His handsome face was slightly cracked.
Why is this happening? I was surprised by how impatient he looked, and I was very worried about him.
"Rudnine?"
"'Rudd.""
When I called him carefully, Rudnine replied as firmly as a knife.
He seems to be a persistent person.
I hesitated for a moment, but I finally surrendered to his stubborn eyes.
"...Yes, Rudd."
"..."
"But why? The complexion...."
So, I can't honestly say that it looks like he's going to kill a person right away.
Rudnine isn't the one to kill anyone.
Anyway, I was dazed because of his ferocious expression, but he turned his gaze and opened his mouth to stare into the hallway where Eudela had disappeared.
"Yvonne, by the way. Are you really going to call that maid again at night?"
"Oh, yes, I have something to do."
I replied truthfully.
"What to do?"
However, contrary to my answer, Rudnine's black eyes swayed like reeds blown by a typhoon.
At the same time, he drooped his shoulders like a wounded cat.
'Why, why is this?'
I was puzzled because I couldn't remember which part of the conversation I had had a problem.
"Rudd?"
"...Haha."
He covered his face with his hand and moaned in pain.
