Chapter 11
“It’s a letter from Prince George, right? You wanted to show it to Madam?”
When I didn’t show any reaction to the letter, Sabrina shifted her target by showing the letter to Rona.
“Uh-huh. Seems like he wants to take me as his wife.”
“What a crazy bitch!”
A smirk rose when I heard Rona’s voice from the corner of the carriage.
George wanted to be an emperor, and an emperor’s official wife was an empress.
‘George will never give a commoner the empress’ seat.’
He thought of his mother’s lowly origin as his only flaw.
In reality, George never gave Sabrina an official position until he ascended to the throne.
He married her off to Marquis Letty and took her as the Emperor’s mistress.
Just as he had married me off to Joseph.
Thinking about Sabrina’s future made me frown, and Sabrina, who was right in front of me, sneered.
“Since Madam is married to His Highness, Madam is no longer in a relationship with Prince George, right?”
How shameless.
You cried, claimed George forced himself on you, and begged for forgiveness. Did you forget about that already?
This was a society where one’s status changed depending on who they married.
Hence, I could understand why a mere maid like Sabrina was acting like she was above me. Because she believed that she had won George’s heart.
In fact, there were also noble women who forced beautiful maids to debut in society, and strengthened their own influence by organizing marriages with powerful figures.
‘Who is really standing on top? That’s another problem to think about.’
So I nodded because I was too lazy to quibble over knowing one’s place to arrogant Sabrina.
“That’s right.”
“If Prince George becomes Emperor…does that mean I become an empress?”
“Maybe.”
After responding indifferently to Sabrina’s question, I stood up when the coachman announced we had arrived at the Kensteen Plains.
Kesteen was such a desolate land that it was closer to a wasteland than a plain.
The southern plain was called the Golden Sea because of the abundant wheat, meanwhile, the Kensteen Plain was so dry that it was hard to see a single blade of grass.
‘It’s definitely gray.’
As I stared at the gray, crumbly soil completely depleted of nutrients, I took the bucket from Rona and extended it toward Sabrina.
“Pick up the soil, Sabrina.”
“….Pardon? Why me?”
Sabrina flinched and lifted the hem of her skirt.
“As you can see, I am wearing a dress, not a maid’s uniform. This is a precious dress gifted by Prince George.”
I tilted my head at Sabrina wordlessly.
When I gave no answer, Sabrina tried to persuade me by pointing at Rona and said.
“Since Rona is here, can you just ask her to do it? I don’t want to hurt Prince George’s heart, Madam. He said he was going to take me to the Imperial Palace soon.”
I could no longer hold back my laughter at Sabrina’s words.
“Haha!”
Her eyes filled with embarrassment when she saw me burst out laughing.
“Wh-why are you laughing? I can show you the letter!”
“Sabrina, George is not an emperor yet.”
And he won’t become an emperor because I’ll stop him at all costs.
“Besides, you haven’t even become his concubine yet!.”
I used my hand fan to raise her chin.
“Even if you are the Prince’s lover, you are just a maid of the current Grand Duchess of Katan.”
Sabrina bit her lip and dawdled for a while. However, her slender body did not budge.
“Pick up the soil.”
Sabrina did not respond to me, so I tapped her shoulder with my hand fan.
“Hurry.”
I had made the hand fan with alchemy so it was an artifact that amplified the user’s power.
“Ugh!”
So I was able to knock her into a muddy puddle with a light push of my hand fan.
“Kyaaah!”
She got up in a hurry after falling on her rump, but George’s green dress was already wet and dirty.
“Madam! What do you think you are doing!”
The enraged Sabrina raised her voice.
“If Prince George finds out about this, he won’t stay still!”
“I ordered you to put soil into the bucket, Sabrina.”
Hand fan spread open, I tilted my head and repeated my words resolutely.
“If you make me repeat myself again, prepare to walk until you reach the Castle.”
Sabrina’s gorgeous face paled when she realized I was serious.
“Uhh, oh!”
I watched her, with her mud-caked body, then turned my back,
“Madam! It’s a monster!”
Rona poked her head out of the carriage window and screamed in horror.
“What do we do? I think the coachman ran away!”
Rona pointed at a monster in the form of a wolf. A silver monster with a larger physique than an ordinary wolf, menacingly baring its sharp teeth.
“…Will the guards arrive on time?”
Sabrina, sniffling in the corner, held her dirty dress and belatedly asked.
“Hmm. I don’t know.”
Katan’s guards were patrolling more diligently compared to other regions’ security guards, but even so, they did not always arrive at the right time.
Grrrr-
The wolf monster, grunting as if to threaten us, leaped to the roof of the carriage.
Crack!
The sound of the broken wooden roof rang loudly. The monster’s shining eyes glowered through the hole in the roof of the carriage.
‘Just in time.’
I grinned when I met the monster’s shining blue eyes with my own,
‘I don’t have an excuse about Sabrina’s shabby appearance.’
Sabrina had already formed friendships with the other servants in the castle to the point she could spread malicious rumors about me.
In addition, her face was swollen because she continued crying while scooping up soil.
‘I’m in trouble if people think I’m harassing her.’
As soon as Sabrina returned to the castle, she would grab people and tell them I pushed her into the mud.
“Hmm.”
I took turns looking at Sabrina and Rona, both trembling in fear, and opened the carriage door.
Sabrina was hunched down in the corner, so I yanked her hair and kicked her out of the carriage.
“Kyaak!”
Thud-!
“Ma-Madam! Madam! Please save me! Save me!”
When Sabrina fell from the carriage, the monster turned its eyes toward her and began to approach her.
The terrified Sabrina began to scream and beg me for forgiveness.
“Madam, Madam! I was wrong! I was wrong, Madam!”
She had tried to threaten me using George’s name earlier. As expected, a close fist is scarier than a distant power.
I looked down apathetically at the trembling Sabrina and jumped from the carriage.
‘It seems like they’re almost here.’
Just before I kicked Sabrina out of the carriage, I heard the distant sound of horses galloping.
‘If there are many people riding horses at night, they must be the guards.’
I intentionally ran toward Sabrina while dirtying the bottom of my dress, then crouched on the ground to add more dirt to my body.
“…Madam? What are you…?”
Dumbfounded, Sabrina opened her mouth.
“What are you doing?”
Ignoring her, I drew an alchemy circle on the muddy ground with my bare hands so I could look more like a beggar.
Grrrrrr-
The monster showed its teeth and glared at me when it saw me stretch my arms to protect Sabrina.
“Sabrina, run!”
I looked back and shouted loudly.
However, even before I spoke, she was already running without looking back.
As soon as she reached the guards who appeared over the hill, the monster snorted and dashed at me rapidly.
Wham!
“Ack,”
When the front paw of the giant monster pushed my shoulders, I couldn’t help but fall backwards.
‘I fell on purpose.’
This was my chance.
‘Oh yeah!’
I shouted inwardly and activated the alchemy circle to deal with the monster. But at that moment—
Kaaaeng-!
With a faint scream, the monster flew away instantly and crashed to the ground.
If there was one person who could throw a monster of that size with one hand…
I gulped and raised my head. The light illuminated the knight’s face.
“Are you alright?”
Wife.
For some reason, my face blazed when he quietly added that word.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
