43 Chapter 43. Calen Castle, Part Iv

She had been offended by the look of freaking eyes for awhile, as if they were seeing a monster carrying an infectious disease. Julietta, who felt as if she was guilty of the Baroness' criticism, stood helplessly at her wits' end.

"What are you doing? Make sure you stay in your quarters until there's another order, so people do not see you."

Julietta sighed unconsciously.

This was not her true self, but she could not help being hurt by the eyes of those who were shocked and disgusted every time they saw her. Now she did not think that if she took off this disguise... It really hurt her heart to think that her disguised appearance was her true self.

After she bowed to the n.o.ble lady with a ferocious expression in front of her, Julietta turned around and a maid of the Baroness, Celine, opened her mouth.

"How could she work as a maid of His Highness in that shape? Sir Albert was very strict about this and that, and he hara.s.sed the head maid, but did he really pick her as a maid? This is a strong case to appeal to His Highness."

As if to console the surprised Baroness, Celine spoke ill of the maid she had just seen, and Rosalyn, the other maid, also agreed enthusiastically.

"I think Sir Albert's eyes are terrible when I see the maid changing every time His Highness returns. As His Highness had not liked them, he must have changed them every time. Jeff, a nephew of the head maid, needs to take over as the Grand Chamberlain's seat."

Jeff, who was her nephew, was not a n.o.bleman, because the man her sister had married was a t.i.tled man, not landed. However, Pamela had worked as a maid of d.u.c.h.ess Irene, the mother of the Prince, and was knighted by her own ability, so she was able to rise to the position of the head maid of Calen Castle.

The first thing she had done as soon as she had become the head maid was to put her nephew as the Prince's servant. Unlike the Prince's private maids, who were changed from time to time, Jeff had been in the position of the Prince's servant for several years, being protected by Pamela.

Now, when the old Sir Albert retired, Jeff would succeed him at his post of the grand chamberlain. That way, Jeff could get the t.i.tle of Baronet and she could really be the number one of Calen Castle, without having to read the faces of Sir Albert or any other grand chamberlain.

The maid from a moment ago was a golden opportunity to express Sir Albert's incompetence to the Baroness with such a goal. So she had made more fuss, as if something big had happened.

With a smile of satisfaction, Pamela hurried to the Oval Office to meet the Prince.

"Your Highness, welcome back. Please forgive my disloyalty that I happened not to meet Your Highness, since I had something to work on in Rezen Castle."

Killian frowned at the head maid and the maids who accompanied her, and who glanced up and bowed to him as if they were shy. At his mother's recommendation, he gave her the t.i.tle and allowed her to serve as a head maid, but Killian didn't like her, as she always seemed to be calculating and greedy.

"It's been a long time, Baroness Lanolf."

Pamela rushed to speak, as if to attract the attention of the Prince, who nodded dryly and looked away, "Your Highness, I met your private maid. You don't know how surprised I was to see her."

He looked at the Baroness again at the words 'your private maid', after he had turned away after he had apathetically received her greeting.

Marquis Oswald and Count Adam, who did not pay much attention to Pamela's greeting, were also interested in what happened. When Pamela drew the attention she wanted, she stopped talking to create a dramatic effect and held her hand near her heart as if surprised.

"How hideous the appearance of a maid who serves Your Highness can be! I was so surprised at how Sir Albert could keep such a maid beside Your Highness. I was so worried if it was time for him to retire."

The maids who stood behind the Baroness looked at each other, as if it were truly impossible. Count Adam sprang up at the sight of Killian, who watched without a word.

"Oh, the Baroness! The former maid quit in a hurry, and Jeff's accident overlapped, so she was to serve as a temporary maid for the time being. It's not Sir Albert's fault."

"What do you mean by 'an accident'? Where did Jeff get hurt?! That's why I can't see him now!"

Adam interrupted the Baroness's words as she forgot that she was in front of the Prince and made a great fuss about trifles in surprise. "I don't know the details, so listen carefully to Sir Albert later. Anyway, that's all the circ.u.mstances that led the maid to serve His Highness."
