After a short time, the carriage got here to a cease at its vacation spot. They have been in the course of a bustling avenue, making the environment barely noisy.

“Take my hand.”

Luna took Antes’s prolonged hand and stepped down from the carriage. She went into the human sources workplace.

Then she noticed a lady prostrated on the bottom, begging.

“Any job would do! So long as the pay is above common! Please make use of me!”

“No, they mentioned they received’t! They don’t rent ladies at that wage!”

“Please! Even a phrase on my behalf will do! My mom is sick, and I want cash for her drugs!”

“What number of instances do I’ve to say! It received’t work!”

The workplace employees was distracted by the girl, so Luna cleared her throat to attract consideration.

“It appears you might be busy. I got here right here to rent servants.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll help you straight away. You, get out!”

As he tried to shoo the girl away, she all of a sudden clung to the hem of Luna’s costume.

“Noble woman! In case you are hiring servants, please take me! I’m robust, can chop firewood properly, and may clear the stables!”

Apparently, her declare of being robust wasn’t false, for she didn’t budge regardless of how exhausting the employees tried to drag her away.

At the same time as her grip virtually tore the hem of Luna’s costume, Antes managed to pry the girl off Luna.

“What ought to we do, let her go?”

After a second, gazing into the determined eyes of the girl, Luna lowered her head.

“No. She’s robust, can chop wooden properly, and may clear the stables, so we should always not less than hear her out. We got here right here to rent servants anyway.”

Although that was a motive, Luna additionally couldn’t ignore the girl’s plea about needing cash for her sick mom’s drugs.

“We are literally in search of a coachman, are you able to drive a carriage?”

“… A carriage? I… I haven’t pushed earlier than, however I can be taught rapidly!”

She checked out Antes as if to verify, and he shrugged, seemingly perplexed on why she was behaving that manner.

“Alright. Work might be realized. What I require is easy. Don’t trigger hassle, get together with everybody, and don’t have any secrets and techniques from me. If that’s potential, I’ll rent you.”

“…!”

The lady’s eyes widened on the fast supply of employment below such easy circumstances.

The employees, who was simply attempting to shoo her away a second in the past, chimed in as if he was about to suggest her anyway.

“I used to be about to suggest her, you’ve made an excellent selection!”

“…”

It appeared the iron was struck whereas sizzling. With that, they may proceed their enterprise within the capital.

Luna, simply satisfied, requested for suggestions for different servants.

“Understood! Don’t fear, I do know such folks. By the way in which, what do you keep in mind for the wage…?”

“5 gold.”

There was a short silence on the point out of the wage, which was twice the common pay.

“That’s as a result of I’ll work them exhausting, be ready. I’m a terrifying grasp. I’ll drain servants to the bone. Over ten servants ran away crying. If they’ll’t work, I’ll present no mercy.”

Regardless of her phrases, Antes snickered at Luna’s twinkling, non-threatening face, however the lady nodded significantly.

From the day following their go to to the human sources workplace, folks queued for the interviews, drawn by the excessive wage.

Furthermore, the emphasis on character over expertise attracted many.

Moreover, new rumors enveloped the capital after the grownup ceremony occasion. It was rumored that the extensively identified previous of Luna wasn’t very credible.

The rumor unfold too rapidly to too many, and in contrast to through the trial, it was unattainable to cease.

Because of that, Fersen was greater than livid.

“Rattling, rattling! What the hell occurred that this sort of rumor unfold?”

Smash!

Staring on the shattered decoration in opposition to the wall, the Duke’s butler heaved a quiet sigh.

It was good that he ceased his obsession with Luna Peils, however the days with out worry hadn’t come as Fersen had change into much more vicious than the Duke.

“I apologize. We silenced the individuals who attended the trial, however Baron Peils himself has been blabbing about it all over the place…”

It wasn’t straightforward to cowl up an current reality. If there have been no proof, they could have counteracted with different rumors, however there was no method to block it since a verdict had been given within the court docket.

“Then someway Luna’s mouth ought to have been shut!”

The butler quietly bowed his head to Fersen who talked about the unattainable job. Cursing below his breath for upsetting an austere particular person which was self-inflicted.

If Fersen hadn’t imprisoned the Baron – no, if he hadn’t even despatched a confessing letter, it wouldn’t have come to this.

However he couldn’t say that, so the butler quietly endured Fersen’s anger. It had been a recurrent occasion recently, so it wasn’t stunning.

Furthermore, somebody would seem to close Fersen’s mouth if he waited a bit. Somebody who would take his anger with a persistently light coronary heart.

“Younger lord Fersen!”

Positive sufficient, Seira discovered Fersen’s workplace earlier than lengthy. As all the time, she, adorned brightly and superbly, embraced Fersen who was furiously offended.

“Woman Seira.”

Upon which, Fersen’s anger subsided a notch. Though he didn’t obsess over her as he did Luna, Seira had captured Fersen’s coronary heart.

Because of that, Fersen calmed down, and the butler, having left his regards, left the workplace.

As soon as they have been alone, Seira gently caressed Fersen’s cheek. It was barely heated as a consequence of his raging anger simply moments in the past.

“Is the work going properly?”

“Sure. It appears we can take over a couple of enterprise companions from Antares Service provider Guild quickly.”

Fersen confirmed her a couple of paperwork as he answered.

“It’s all because of you, my woman. Didn’t you contact the household of the Marquis who you might be shut with?”

“It’s nothing a lot. It’s a profitable deal because of lord Fersen assembly the circumstances properly.”

“Even so, it might have been fairly troublesome should you hadn’t helped.”

Seira’s eyes sparkled on the acknowledgement of assist. Although the state of affairs was extra precarious than earlier than, she was very happy with him wanting solely at her.

“I’ll assist extra. Simply say the phrase.”

Fersen would do something if she stayed by his aspect wanting solely at him like this. With that, he briefly kissed her brow and smiled.

“Then, I’d such as you to convey again to us the offers that fell by way of this time. We’re nonetheless missing lots. I wish to make the Antares Service provider Guild remoted as quickly as potential.”

His earlier gentleness had disappeared, and it was considerably creepy smile now, however it was okay. It was sufficient for Seira that Fersen was by her aspect.

“I’ll try this for you.”

In a couple of days, Luna easily carried out interviews and employed folks she preferred.

“How is it? Are you happy?”

In response to Luna’s inquiry, Emma answered with a reasonably happy face.

“Sure. They appeared okay.”

“And Laura?”

“Me too. They’re light and look good. Their expertise is sort of good too, absolutely they are going to be useful across the property.”

Emma and Laura gave their approval. With the title of the twelfth profitable candidate written down, Luna penned a letter indicating no extra interviewees wanted to be despatched.

Initially, they deliberate to rent fifteen, however after exchanging communications about contract termination with the beforehand fired servants, they thought it was okay and reinstated three of them.

In fact, it wasn’t as a consequence of good efficiency that they have been reinstated. Like Emma, they too had been harassed earlier than, and so they have been so scared that they couldn’t say something, which was why they have been roughly reinstated.

Thankfully or sadly, amongst them was a gardener, which eased Luna’s thoughts.

“Please convey this to the human sources workplace.”

“Sure, my woman.”

The servant took the letter and left the workplace. Luna lay on the comfortable couch and savored the peace. It was a supremely satisfying day.

Having handled the depraved butler and servants, Emma and Laura regained their laughter. Assembly good folks and clarifying misunderstandings was spreading round, and Antes, who was considered caught within the mansion, additionally left the mansion after solely borrowing a horse.

Nothing might have been happier than this.

‘There are a lot of paperwork to examine as typical… however can it’s this peaceable and satisfying?’

She was a hated character within the unique story.

Antes, who attacked Fersen out of inferiority, obtained a sympathy as tiny as mud. Nevertheless, it wasn’t the identical for Luna. In romance novels, a supporting character who tried to intervene with the protagonist couple’s love was hated greater than the true villain.

Because of that, although the position wasn’t massive, there was a legend that acquired super hate till the tip.

Even the writer appeared to nonetheless hate Luna, every time ‘Ah? Is it okay now?’ thought got here, a disaster hit straight away.

‘Now could be precisely that timing.’

“Miss!”

The scream echoed together with the timing of misfortune and disaster.

“Miss! A letter has arrived!”

“…!”

Having such absurd ideas, Laura knocked on the door and knowledgeable concerning the letter. Luna, who was in useless imagining, brushed her shocked coronary heart and requested concerning the sender of the letter.

“Are available. Who despatched it?”

“Woman Rosemary despatched it.”

If it’s a letter from Rosemary, the hazard was near zero. She was essentially the most innocent and useful particular person amongst these Luna knew.

Relieved, Luna tore the letter and started to learn the content material slowly. The letter, asking how she has been and if a go to to the mansion could be okay, started like that.

“She all the time simply got here, why trouble with a letter now.”

Even when disliked, she would come. However that didn’t imply she disliked her. Rosemary’s go to was all the time welcome. She was her solely pal.

Then Laura requested with a giant smile:

“Is younger woman Rosemary visiting?”

In response, Luna continued studying the letter and answered:

“Sure. She needs to return together with her mother and father. So, she’s asking for permission.”

“… Her mother and father?”

“…?”

She froze for a second.

Wait, what…? Her mother and father?
