A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 36
Translator: Shaini | Editor: Darling
Selesina returned to the mansion in the Royal Capital along with Odette who was now playing the role of the maid. Odette was going to spend a few days with her in order to learn about her work.
“Uwa………the Royal capital is beautiful. It’s my first time coming here.”
“That’s right. In that case, let’s make some time to go around the capital.”
“Ah, thank you………!”
Odette had come to the Royal capital to learn the ropes of her work so she never expected to be able to have the time go out.
She would obviously have breaks, but she planned to study and learn at that time.
Anna came to welcome them once they got down from the carriage.
“Welcome back Lady Selesina.”
“We’ve returned. Let me introduce you. This is Odette from Selin village. She will be taking care of me.”
Odette nervously took a step forward when Selesina introduced her. She had both her trembling hands grasped tightly in front of her chest. She bowed her head deeply.
“Nice to meet you I’m Odette.”
“Well, caring for Lady Selesina…..? I’m Lady Selesina’s maid Anna. Nice to meet you too.”
Anna smiled kindly and looked at Odette.
She looked over her in a 360-degree view and touched her shoulder. Odette tensed and moaned unconsciously.
“Be more proud and more aware of your posture.”
‘Ye, yes!”
“That’s good. This posture looks beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
Odette hadn’t really paid attention to her posture till now. But it felt good to stretch her spine and stand proudly.
Selesina watched their exchange and smiled.
“Anna. Odette will be coming along with me after a while so please teach her the ropes as her senior while she is in the mansion.”
“Certainly. I’ll be making some preparations so Miss Odette can come with me. Lady Selesina please rest in your room.”
“Yes.”
It was fine to leave Odette to Anna. As long as she has basic manner and etiquette, it would be easy for her to learn.
“Hisui, shall we go my room………oh my?”
A carriage came over when she was talking. It had the emblem of the royal capital on it, probably Soratek’s.
‘Perhaps the reply to my letter?’
“I’ll return to my room with Toi so can you please take the reply?”
“Yes.”
Selesina left it to Hisui and left for her room.
“Haaa……..your super soft fur is the best healing Toi!”
[Woof]
Once she returned back to her room she quickly hugged Toi. It was her fluffy time. Normally she had to behave like an elegant lady so she could only enjoy the fluff to her heart’s content when no one was around.
She buried her face in Toi’s soft fur and enjoyed the warmth of the hug.
“Haa….I love you……”
[Woof]
“Do you love me as well, Toi? I’m so happy!”
She held his paws and enjoyed the feeling. She hadn’t had the chance to spend time with Toi recently so she was very meticulous right now.
‘Ah, that’s right! I bought that thinking that you might like it Toi.”
[Woof?]
She saw it in town, a think piece of meat. The shop assistant told her that dogs would like it since it was so hard so she bought it in a haste for Toi.
She took it out of her bag and she saw Toi’s eyes begin to sparkle. His tongue was also out. He looked like he really wanted to eat it.
“Here Toi!”
[Woof!!]
Selesina handed over the meat to him and he started to wag his tail and chew on it.
[…………♪]
There was a knock on the while Toi was happily enjoying his meat. Hisui entered inside once she gave permission.
“I was given a letter by Lord Soratek’s page……..what are you doing Lady Sele?”
“I gave some meat to Toi since he is always doing his best.”
She returned to the lady mode and smiled. The fluffy time until now seemed like a lie.
Hisui sighed, gave the letter to Selesina, and then proceeded to take some of Toi’s fur off from Selesina’s hair.
“Ah…………”
“Lady Sele is surprisingly out of place.”
Hisui laughed.
‘Hisui is really alert…………’
“I was just playing with Toi for a little bit. I’ll check the letter so can you get me a paper-knife?”
“Here.”
“Thank you.”
The letter was a reply to the schedule about visiting the great shrine. In general, it was as Selesina had assumed.
“Did something happen?”
“There is no major change to the schedule that we set in advance. Lord Soratek had adjusted his work schedule.”
“That’s great.”
It was as Hisui said but Selesina was worried whether it was really great.
‘The round trip will take about 20 days, so he won’t be able to deepen his bond with the heroine!?’
She forgot about it due to managing the territory but this was the world of a fantasy game named ‘Maiden of Asgarl’ and she was the villainess.
The heroine was currently rushing down the Soratek route and Selesina’s fate would depend on it’s ending.
Should the heroine achieve the happy end, then Selesina would be exiled.
Should she reach the bad end then Selesina would die.
‘If the 2 of them don’t grow closer then I will die!’
But she would not be inviting the heroine Meria to join them.
She was not good with those kinds of girls.
‘But it’s encouraging to go to the great Shrine with Lord Soratek, the crown prince……..’
Since she didn’t have any blessings, she was a little concerned about going to the great shrine again.
But the plan was underway already so there was no other choice……..a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
“Come in.”
“Excuse me.”
Excuse me!”
Anna entered with a tea set and Odette entered in a maid uniform with a bouquet of roses.
She immediately realized that Soratek sent those along with the letter.
Odette gently walked to Selesina and handed over the bouquet to her.
“It’s a gift from Lord Soratek.”
‘Thank you, Odette. Can you display it in the room?”
“Yes of course. I was surprised since the roses were so big and beautiful.”
Odette was impressed since she had never seen such beautiful roses before.
“I think those are cared for and grown by the castle gardener. He tends to it every day in order to ensure that they grow beautifully.”
“Amazing………”
Odette displayed the roses in the vase as Anna instructed her and watched carefully as Anna poured tea. She was watching with great seriousness and learning quickly.
“Odette, the maid uniform looks good on you. You can learn the work while you stay in this mansion but you can return to the village after that so rest assured.”
“Thank you. I’ll do my best for you Lady Selesina!”
Odette declared.
Odette absorbed it all at an outstanding speed. Soon it was time for them to leave for the great shrine.
