Busy waiters paced around making banquets. I am busy walking around while looking around.

I stepped my feet into the kitchen that was already very messy, lots of flour strewn everywhere.

Cooking equipment is not where it should be.

My net was fixed on a fairly large cake, and I approached it while looking at it.

"Mrs, what are you doing here?"

My head turned when I heard Elise's voice calling me.

"Oh Elise, is this Anastasia's birthday cake?" point me at the cake that is applied white cream and decorated with various kinds of fruit on it.

"Yes, that's right, ma'am. The other waiters had just finished making it," replied Elise with a lot of cookware in her cradle.

"It seems heavy, let me help," I bargained and Elise immediately refused.

"No need, Madam. This has become my duty" he said, distancing the equipment from my outstretched hand to retrieve it.

I also developed my cheeks, I was really bored.

"Oh yeah, Elise. Do you know what Anastasia doesn't like?" ask me.

"What does Anastasia dislike? I don't really know, but once Mrs Anastasia was so scared when she saw the cockroach."

"Cockroaches? She's afraid of that cute little animal?"

"People aren't cute at all, ma'am! They're disgusting!" pekik Elise hysterical.

Then he's afraid of cockroaches, hm?

"Do you know what causes Anastasia to fear cockroaches?" I asked him to try to dig deeper.

"Yes. Lady Anastasia was afraid of cockroaches because there was a cockroach in the food of Lady Anastasia," Elise said, making me smile cunningly.

Here goes!

"And you know what's more sinister, ma'am?" asked Elise while displaying a look of disdain on her face.

"What?"

"The boy flew right in the face of Lady Anastasia!"

"Pff!" I shut my mouth when I imagined the look on Anastasia's face.

"Then, Elise. Are there any cockroaches around?"

"No way, Madam. If there are cockroaches in this house, of course we immediately fired," said Elise.

"Isn't there anywhere else?"

"Hm, if I'm not mistaken, there are a lot of cockroaches in the back shed, ma'am. Why are you asking that?" elise asked confusedly.

"There's nothing. I'm just wondering, then I'll go first, Elise!" I said and left in a hurry.

"Wait, where are you going, ma'am?! Madam!"

...🥀...

"Where are you cute cockroaches??" ask me while looking for the presence of brown insects with antennae.

Uh, bingo!

There were two cockroaches near the pile of wood, I was ready with insect catching tools in my grasp.

Finally got it. The cockroaches I got were put in a jar that I had provided.

When I got what I needed, I immediately rushed to the kitchen to put this cute insect topping Anastasia's birthday cake.

When I arrived in the kitchen, I also relaxed a little. Lucky for me, there was no one in it.

I quickly opened the lid of the jar I was carrying, then opened the metal hood that covered the birthday cake.

I put a cute insect named cockroach on the cake, then closed the cake again.

I also turned to make sure no one saw my action.

All right, there's no one here. Before I get caught, I'd better get out of this place.

...🥀...

By late afternoon, the sun was at the western end of the horizon, but it had not fully sunk.

This is the moment I hate the most. Putting up a corset.

"Come, Mistress. Deflate your stomach slightly, so that the corset is perfectly fitted!" 

"I know, Elise. But this corset is so stifling! Besides I'm also slim, no need to wear a corset!" my protest.

However, Elise did not bother me at all. So I just resigned too.

Before long, I had finished preparing to attend Anastasia's birthday party tonight.

And instantly, there was a screaming sound that stuck out the ears from downstairs.

"YES!!"

Oh, did she open her birthday cake? Hidhi. I better hurry down.

When my footsteps reached the first floor, I could see the atmosphere in the middle of a scene.

"Yes! Anybody quickly grab this damn insect from my face!!!" anstasia screams hysterically when the cockroach sticks between her eyes.

"Madam, calm down, we tried to take it," said one of the struggling servants, who tried to take the cockroach because Anastasia could not calm down.

Hmph! Feel that!

"How can I calm down?! Hurry up and get this bug out of my face, damn it!!!"

Oh look at that, the soft words that always come out of his lips now do not arise.

Only harsh words appeared, it seemed like he could not make a theatrical appearance in panic.

Suppose you could see how his ugly face looks now, you would have been blown away.

His furrowed brows were accompanied by his lips which could not stop nagging.

Lothawat! How'this? I can't help my laughter!

It turns out that raking at people is really fun! Ahaha!

I tried to put on a smile that kept pressing to be engraved on my face.

This way we're even, right?

So don't try to mess with me. Now have fun with the cockroach on your face well, fufufu~!

All right, now is my part.

"Anastasia, are you okay?" my lot is full of tenderness with falsehood as I approach it.

"Are you blind?! Didn't you see how I was?! Quickly get this disgusting thing off me!!" the hardic.

I also immediately pulled out my mainstay.

Crocodile tears.

"A-I'm just worried..why are you yelling at me like that, Anastasia?" I look down with my sad face.

"What's this?" I also turned my head.

Nice timing!

"Arlen, Anastasia snapped at me. Though I just want to help him." I said as I approached the blond girly man. 

His sharp blue netra immediately glanced towards Anastasia who was in the middle like a hot worm.

With big strides, the man approached Anastasia, then casually took the cockroach that settled on Anastasia's face.

Then quickly dropped it and stepped on it until the sound of the insect's stomach breaking.

The poor cockroach.

"Just because of this you're excited?" ketus Arlen to Anastasia and the woman immediately lowered her head.

Somehow, the atmosphere that was originally excited was now immediately silent and gripping in an instant.

"Just because of the insects did you just want to yell at someone older than you?"

Anastasia just kept quiet while bowing her head, I somehow became a little pity with her.

"What if a guest sees your behavior? Where would I put my face to have a wife who can't keep her attitude?!" snapped Arlen in a high tone.

Oi, oi! I didn't expect it to be like this. Is that guy in a bad mood?

I can see Anastasia squeezing her dress skirt firmly, it seems like the two-legged snake woman is very upset.

With this I am satisfied! Ahaha!

This is far from what I expected, but.

At least the woman got her reward.
