Chapter.41 Oblivion

When Sienna returned to her room after work in that state, her expression was so dark that her roommate Hera asked in surprise.

“Siena? are you okay? “What’s wrong with your face?”

“Oh no. “It’s because I’m a little unwell.”

“okay? body?”

Sienna smiled and laid down on the bed, as if she was okay with her worries.

Then Hera made a humming sound and climbed onto the second floor bed.

As Hera went up, Sienna asked one question.

“It’s over there... .”

“huh?”

“What kind of person is the lord?”

Hera asked because she thought she would know better than herself since she had worked at the castle since she was young.

Because you may learn a lot about things you didn’t know about along the way.

“well. I’m not sure because he’s usually in the capital. But it seemed like people outside didn’t like it that much... .”

“okay?”

“But why all of a sudden?”

“no. It’s just a useless curiosity. “Sleep well Hera!”

Here, the outsiders refer to the general public outside the city.

Sienna lay on the bed and pondered Hera’s words. The more I did it, the more I couldn’t sleep.

No, I haven’t actually slept soundly since that day. So, it’s not the only fault that I can’t sleep.

‘Brother. Are you okay? The lord here is very different from my brother and the lord of Great Lake... .’

When I think about it, all I can do is cry like an idiot.

Still, I resented myself for not being able to remember it and not give it up.

Due to Count Dedran’s lobbying and conspiracy, the occupants of Gray Castle were scattered.

During the process of moving, she heard so many bad rumors about Count Dedran that she never felt at ease for a moment.

I was worried about whether my brother would survive under such a vicious lord.

Her wish was to at least hear news that things were going well, but there were no nobles who could tell her, as a mere maid, about the situation in Grace City.

‘Anyway, the story I heard today is so shocking... . ‘What should I do?’

Sienna was, knowingly or unknowingly, influenced by Gray, who had always been by her side since she was young and preached the idea of a good lord.

‘Of course, the theory of lordship that my brother always talked about was almost completely incomprehensible, but it would still be unacceptable for someone in the position of lord to use relief supplies meant for the people for politics!’

Sienna clearly remembered hearing a similar anecdote.

This is wrong.

I heard that there are still many people dying of starvation outside. He was fortunate enough to belong to a lord’s castle, so he would never starve to death, but even if he went to the market, if he opened his ears even a little, he could easily hear stories about the collapse of a village somewhere.

Ordinary servants and maids could not understand difficult stories about the operation of relief supplies, and there were no people who blamed the lord for the famine caused by the drought, so people were dying quietly without any riots occurring.

‘Brother... .’

The more it happened, the clearer it was from what I heard from Grayke that the responsibility ultimately lay with the lord.

But surprisingly, there was nothing he could do.

There is no one who can be on their side. This is because Siena was a stone that rolled in.

So Sienna just worked as usual. No matter how bad the lord is, work has to be done. The only time you give up work is when you die.

Sienna has always learned that from her mother.

“I know that! Hmm, now that I think about it, I guess I’ll have to do it when Your Excellency comes back.”

Baron Dink said that, turned his back and tried to leave.

Sienna thought.

This might be your last chance.

Last chance to do something yourself.

If I miss this opportunity, I will just miss Gray and work until I grow old and die.

He thought he wanted that kind of life, but his heart seemed to say otherwise, so he caught the Baron without realizing it.

If you think wrong, you die at this moment. She didn’t mind dying, but her heart was full of tension because her wish was that she should die after realizing Great’s ideals.

‘I feel guilty about my brother... I don’t want to live with it!’

He wants to resolve the relief supplies incident. In fact, for her, it was not a sense of justice for people dying from famine.

I only felt guilty about Gray.

This situation is completely opposite to the theory of the Lord that Gray recited every day.

If he just ignores it and meets Grayk after he dies, will he be able to be honorable?

If I die and meet the ideals that person talked about so much, will I be able to applaud proudly like I did when I was young?

That’s why Sienna’s mouth began to slouch without realizing it.

“Is it because of something related to relief supplies?”

“what? “What?”

At the same time as he said that, Baron Dink looked around and shouted with his finger. created an action called But Sienna didn’t stop.

“Isn’t that why you fought with the lord and secretly came to the office to steal relief supplies and distribute them to the people?”

“... Who are you? How did you know that... ! “Did Your Excellency tell you to take a look?”

Baron Dink pulled Sienna’s wrist while breaking out in a cold sweat. And when he came to Yeongju Castle, he pushed her into the corner room on the third floor where he stayed.

All of the employees who did not go hunting were on the first floor. Employees are not allowed to come up from the 2nd to the 4th floor unless they have some business to do.

The chamberlain currently in charge of the mansion was working on the first floor, and only Sienna, who was in charge of cleaning the stairs, was going back and forth between the second and third floors.

That’s why Sienna was taken to Baron Dink without anyone knowing.

Baron Dink, who pushed her into the room, immediately began strangling Sienna’s white neck.

“sorry. This is for the people. Something that should never be caught... so... so... sorry!”

Baron Dink’s hands were shaking and he strangled Sienna even more. However, since he had never killed anyone before, his strength was severely lacking.

For the people.

Even when she was being strangled, Sienna remained calm. Rather, I felt that this could be fully utilized.

“jeon... “I’m on the Baron’s side.”

“what?”

“Chokkolokkolok.”

With just those words, Baron Dink relaxed his grip and Sienna collapsed, coughing.

“What are you... .”

“I’m the kid who rolled in. It hasn’t even been a few years since I came here. So, she is different from other maids and servants. I have no intention of being loyal to my lord. And I heard that in passing. Relief materials meant for people are being used for politics! Isn’t that wrong? “That’s how I learned.”

“You mean you know politics?”

Baron Dink had an expression of disbelief. But I couldn’t bring my hand to Sienna’s neck again.

“I don’t know. However, the son of the lord I served before always spoke out loud... .”

The Baron asked, interpreting Sienna’s statement that she was on his side as only asking for her life.

“Is that so? Uhm, but keeping you alive... . “How can I trust you not to reveal my actions?”

The more it happened, the more Sienna responded to the Baron very calmly.
