In the morning, somewhere. Inside the study room in the residence of Marquis Ristoff, a man sat in his chair with a gloomy face.
He rarely smiled, and his face always seemed uninterested in everything. But this time his face was much more grim.
"Is there a problem?" Asked his assistant who a moment ago entered his study.
"I lost it."
"You see the person who sent the medicine?"
Daryl looked at her in annoyance, as if saying 'No! How's si!'.
"Oh. Then who?"
"I've been looking for him for hours." Daryl continued regardless of his assistant's questions.
"I even looked it into the ladies' room."
His words made the assistant who listened to his curses shocked. He no longer knew how to respond. He didn't even know what his master was talking about.
"I'm sure he's in the casino."
Trying to ignore his master's misgivings, Daryl's assistant chose to sit still while finishing his work while waiting for the mental shocks his master was experiencing to subside.
Then suddenly, Daryl kicked the table startling his assistant and yelling,
"I just want to know his name!"
On the other side of the city, in the magnificent residence of a Count who was to the east of the city of Vinnas, a young girl had to face her new fate.
Having just gone to bed before morning after a very tiring day for her, and still having to wake up half an hour later, Bellena's face looked very tired. The fellow servants who saw him felt sorry for him but could not do much.
Being a waiter is exhausting. On top of that, is a personal servant who should be able to do many things. Indeed, the position is very tempting because it gets some opportunities that cannot be experienced by other ordinary people.
However, it can only be felt when you get a good employer. While the most unfortunate part is, being a personal servant of a dictator.
At about 6 a.m., Bellena went to Ashley's room to wake her incredibly loving nona. He knocked on Ashley's door.
"Miss, it's time to wake up."
Unlike usual, the nonanya did not answer or allow Bellena to enter. Usually Ashley always wakes up early before Bellena comes to wake her up. He then lets Bellena in to help him get ready.
"Miss?"
Considering they only returned this morning, the chances of Ashley still falling asleep are quite high. Bellena intends to enter without Ashley's permission to wake her but she stops when she opens Ashley's room door.
Suddenly he was imagined by the reaction that his nona will give to people who dare to disturb his sleep. Not to mention, he also entered without Ashley's permission, although he should have been entitled to do so.
Ashley was not a person who could fall asleep soundly, she could still clearly hear the sounds around her even in a dreamy state. The woman actually heard Bellena calling her, but she just ignored her.
Bellena did not dare to wake her nona, but on the other hand she also could not leave Ashley and let her sleep.
Not because of his dedication to being Ashley's personal servant, but he was worried that he would eventually be blamed by his nona for not waking her up and making her skip breakfast.
Bellena doesn't know what to do. He just stood there thinking which option he should take but still could not decide which decision was safe.
Long enough he thought, until without feeling it was time for breakfast. A waiter came to Ashley's room and found Bellena crouching in front of the door.
The waiter's arrival sent Bellena into a panic. The waiter's arrival is a sign that breakfast is ready, but Bellena still hasn't woken Ashley up and helped her prepare.
Seeing Bellena becoming agitated, the waiter was also on her to fidget, considering the topic of the matter must be related to her nonanya.
"What's? What was? Why?" He hurriedly came to Bellena.
"Miss isn't awake yet, how is this?"
"Why not wake him?" Ask the waiter confused.
"You crazy? You want me dead?"
The servant immediately closed his mouth with both hands, then opened it again and spoke in a soft voice.
"Then how did Miss wake up all this time?"
"Miss always gets up early."
They conferred it briefly there, thinking it might be better to let Ashley sleep and return to the dining room to tell Vincent. But Bellena's concerns are now directed to the waiter as well, because it was the one in charge of calling her nona for breakfast today.
"How's this? Mr. Vincent must have been waiting." Bellena.
"Hey. Our lives are more threatened by Miss Ashelia. Mr. Vincent will probably leave this matter to Mrs Marion."
"Isn't that the same thing?"
"How can it be the same? You should know better, right? I heard Mrs Marion has been avoiding Miss Ashelia lately. The madam didn't even dare look Miss in the eye."
Indeed Bellena felt Marion became more wary of Ashley but she did not expect her vigilance to even go that far.
"Then how?"
"At least let's tell Miss it's time for breakfast. So we have a reason if Miss gets angry later." Said the waiter who then stood facing the door and was followed by Bellena.
"Hey, are you sure that's enough?"
"Better than nothing, right?"
Suddenly a loud bang was heard from behind the door where they were standing, followed by the sound of broken glass.
"Brice b*ngsat!" Shouted Ashley from inside.
The two of them instantly moved away from the door, anticipating that something unwanted had suddenly happened. Knowing Ashley's answer indirectly, the two of them apologized and immediately rushed to leave the place.
"It's really disturbing." Ashley muttered as she re-opened her body.
The woman clenched her teeth and said,
"Behold Mariooon."
resisting the annoyance of impatiently waiting for the outcome of his plan.
He then glanced at the bag of coins that sold his jewelry and judgments yesterday. His upset rage faded away as he came up with another idea that might have cornered his stepmother into action.
