Chapter 20's

“Miss' bedroom is here, and your dressing room is inside. You can use everything here comfortably. If there is anything else you need, please—”

"I think there's been a mistake."

Allen, who showed Radis around, looked back after hearing him say this.

"I'm sorry?"

"This room is too big."

Radis struggled to think about what to say.

It is clear that there has been a mistake.

Maybe Yves Russell told his employees that Radis was a 'guest'.

That's why Allen thought Radis was someone who should be treated well like this, so this room was prepared. He had to tell Allen first before he got into trouble.

But he didn't want to say it as if he blamed Allen for the mistake.

With a stiff smile from tension, Radis spoke up.

“I don't need a room this big. Small bedroom is enough.”

Allen's eyes twitched.

However, as an experienced butler, he quickly regained his composure.

"Miss Radis, I'm just following my master's orders."

"What…?"

“Marquis Russell always treats guests who visit his estate well. And Miss Radis is a guest who deserves this.”

“……”

“My master will call you before dinner. In the meantime, you can rest well. And if you need something, you can always pull this rope here.”

Allen bowed politely and went through the door.

And Radis was left alone in that vast room.

He was about to put his bag on the table, but he thought about it better and placed it on the floor.

He approached the vase with fresh flowers in it, looked like it had just been picked from the garden, and inhaled it. Then, with his hands clenched like a squirrel, he saw a painting hanging on the wall of the living room.

Inside the display cabinets that were on each wall, there were colorful tea sets, dishes, and ornamental pottery that at first glance looked expensive. He wondered if they could be used as mere tableware.

When he saw that, Radis became scared.

'If someone steals this, do I have to replace it?'

Radis carefully opened the closet door.

Luckily, the closet was locked. However, the cabinet glass is so thin that it breaks easily with just one punch.

'If I hear something breaking, I have to run out to catch the thief.'

After making a strange vow, Radis took his luggage and entered the room Allen had shown him before.

“……”

The living room made him sigh, but his bedroom was even more disturbing.

Near the window was a beautiful marble table that would be perfect for a royal princess to use, and there was a silver chandelier placed on it.

In addition, the walls were covered with silk wallpaper that had a layer of gold, and on the bedside table, there were even gold vases.

Dark clouds covered Radis face as she looked at the vase.

"It's not pure gold, is it?"

Radis stared at the vase filled with white roses inside with a grim expression.

"It should only be gold plated ... It just has to."

However, even if it was only gold plated, it still looked extremely expensive.

Radis very carefully, with both hands, pushed the vase closer to the wall. As many as possible.

Even if he was placed here by mistake, if he accidentally hit this in his sleep…

That's a scary thought.

And then there's the bed.

It was a spacious bed that could easily fit two or three people. He could even train his swordsmanship over the canopy if he wanted to. It was a beautiful bed, and she could imagine a princess lying there with her golden hair draped around her.

Radis reached out one hand as a test, then pressed the sheets.

The silk fabric was very smooth and soft. It feels like a cloud.

Breathing out by itself.

“Haa..”

...* * *...

After changing into the cleanest shirt and pants he had, Radis waited for Yves Russell anxiously.

There was only one thought in his mind.

"This is not true."

Yves Russell may be under a serious misunderstanding.

He seems delusional enough to think that Prince Olivier has fallen in love with him at first sight when all he sees is a polite act on the prince's side as he helps Radis stand up after he stumbles.

Otherwise, this kind of treatment makes no sense.

'I don't deserve to be spoiled like this ...'

Sighing, Radis suddenly found herself reflected on the vanity mirror.

He looked like a shepherd boy who had a grim expression after being robbed of all the sheep.

As her mind went crazy so far, Radis was shocked to see how she blushed so much that even her neck and forehead were bright red.

"I? That me? Yes... My face became this red when I was embarrassed?”

He had never had a large mirror before, and he had never blushed in front of a mirror at all, so this was the first time he had seen himself like this.

While looking at his own face out of curiosity, his red color gradually disappeared and his complexion returned to its original state.

“Am I this red when I meet the prince? Then I'll look like a red guy wearing a pink sponge. I might look more like a cooked shrimp and not even a human.”.

Feeling hurt by what he told himself, Radis turned his body towards the mirror.

The more he thought about it, the more Marquis Russell's decision seemed to be a total mistake.

However, just for a brief delusion, the Marquis had suffered a huge loss.

It was clear that Yves Russell had paid quite a lot to the Tilrod family.

He even prepared a nice room for her.

And more than that, he said he would be his guardian until he grew up while signing a big contract involving 100 million rupees a year.

'This is not true. Isn't this like deceiving a fool?'

It is unfair for Yves Russell to act as Radis' guardian for two years until he reaches adulthood.

'What's the difference between me and Huber Cradium?'

Goosebumps rose to his back as he thought that he was on the same level as the villain.

'No matter how insensitive I am to kindness ... This is not true. I don't think this should be a place where I can stay. I was too blinded by favorable contract conditions. If I was going to find a guardian, I should have gone to the Rosilde family. If I go there, at least I can pay for my own food.'

Radis nervously paced by the window, then after seeing the carriage enter the mansion gate, he walked out of his room carelessly.

There are not many people on this farm.

He walked down the hall and found a servant who was about to enter a room to clean it.

Radis approached him and asked.

"Excuse me. Where's Marquis' room?”

Maid, who seemed to be about the same age as Radis, looked very surprised by his sudden appearance.

He even quietly exclaimed, 'Jeez!'

Radis took a step back from feeling regret for surprising him.

After calming down, the waiter in front of him spoke in a friendly voice.

"The Marquis's room is right upstairs in the middle of the top floor."

"Thank you."

Radis, who had charged forward recklessly again, turned to ask where the stairs were.

Then, through the open door, he heard another servant whispering.

"Geez, I told you so!"

"Are you okay?"

“Ah, serious..”.

Radis's face paled, and he hesitated for a moment before he quickly walked back.

So he did not hear what the servants kept saying among themselves.

“...Where did that smile suddenly come from? It's cheating if you suddenly talk to me with that face! Do I sound weird?”

“That's right upstairs in the middle of the top floor ”

“Kyaaaa, Melody! Don't imitate me!”

Not hearing this conversation, Radis had no choice but to think that the servants were gossiping about him.

It's always like that anyway.

Tilrod's household was full of people gossiping about him, either behind him or in front of his face.

So he knows how to handle gossip.

It's better to pretend you didn't hear it.

"I think people have heard of me."

Radis wrapped her cheeks with both hands, and she felt her cheeks rather hot.

'Tilrod's Interference. Is it also spreading that I am interfering with David's academy admissions? It's natural to wonder why someone like me came to the Marquisate. And once they found out that I could stay in such a nice room.'

Radis, walking forward recklessly once again, found the stairs in the middle of the hallway, so he climbed up.

Adding to the anxiety of being in a foreign place Radis became very sad at the thought that the people on the estate were unhappy with his presence here.

'I will only tell Marquis Russell that the contract should not be continued. I'll ask him if I can stay here for a few days. In return, I would tell him that I would pay back all the money he paid to the Tilrod family in installments for several years. I will go to the Rosilde family and sign up to join the conquering squad. That's all I'm good at.'

Radis stood in front of the Marquis' room with his shoulders drooping.

Then, he knocked on the door.

The door was so thick that he could not hear anything inside clearly, but it seemed like people were talking inside.

Their conversation was interrupted by the lady's knock.

Shortly after, someone walked to the door and opened it.

“...Radis?”

“Marquis Russell..”.

Today, he was wearing black clothes again.

After returning from his journey outside, he had not taken off his robe, and he was even still wearing his black hood, almost revealing only his chin and lips.

Upon seeing her pale-looking lips, only three words appeared in her mind.

'100 million rupees.'

The effect of those magic words was enormous.

So Radis stood there, almost on the verge of breaking the contract, thinking of how he was suddenly willing to serve behind her, even if his condition was not as good as it is now.
