Chapter 10

At dawn, after washing my clothes, it was a miracle that it was dry. Even if my clothes were frozen crisply from the cold wind, it was my fault for hanging my clothes in front of the window knowing that the wind would dry them quickly. I pondered for a moment, then let go of the hem my hand was holding, and came out.

The dark gray carpeted hallway seemed to focus more on practicality rather than beauty.

‘It’s only this dark, so even if you spill coffee, you won’t see any stain.’

The colors of the dark rambri and the tapestry embroidered with the family crest surrounding the stone wall were also very dry. I thought this hallway suited the man very well.

Well, he wasn’t as rigid as I thought.

Cesare gave me a room with a bathroom and even provided hot water and soap. Of course, it was all from his sympathy, after all I appeared in front of him in such a mess. Anyway, it was fortunate that he was not without blood or tears. There seemed to be little lust, though.

As I was walking down the hallway thinking about Cesare, a man came around the corner and almost bumped into me. The man took a step back in surprise, then looked at my face and made a stupid expression. This was the reaction of most men when they see me for the first time. I smiled brightly at the man enough to show my even teeth.

“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not familiar with this hallway.”

“Oh. no! Rather, I should be the one to apologize.”

“I started working here today. My name is Louise.”

“Yeah, is that right?”

“I have to go collect the laundry now, do you know where the lord’s room is?”

“Go around that hallway, the second from the end. It’s that room.”

The man nodded as if possessed and answered my words. I smiled more brightly as a thank him.

“I see. Thank you for letting me know.”

I greeted the man and walked towards the place he told me. I could feel the man looking at me from behind as if thinking that it were a pity.

Yes, this is originally correct. 

My aunt always told me this like it was a habit.

“If you make up your mind to seduce someone, what kind of man can reject you?”

As I grew up hearing those words a lot, I was always overflowing with confidence in my appearance. Thanks to that, I attacked last night, claiming even the early night powers, but Cesare did not respond to me to the point that it cracked my pride.

Yeah, it could be because I looked so dirty yesterday.

I stopped in the second to last room and stared at the door. Today was different. I used half a piece of soap to wipe my body, and my outfit was the most lewd I’ve ever worn in my life. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. “Come in.”
