Blue sky with cotton candy clouds floating in the east. The sun is setting while

baby fairies whisper, illuminating the surroundings.

This place...

The residence of the Earl of Nîmes Kingdom.

This place is like the bread recently made and the babies with soft cheeks.

How do I get the villain abandoned by Yeoju?

"Ciel, can you please do this too!"

"Can you take a look at the laundry?"

"I think the food is ready as well!"

The voices calling me made me sweat.

I struggled and bended like a giraffe.

Even if I was only one maid, everyone was competing to receive my OK, which left me no time to feel relieved. In short, even if I had ten bodies, it would be too early to rest. My dream is to become a top maid, and my salary right now is pretty good. even though our grandmaster is known to the world as a bad person, he is actually very generous.

My name was being called all over the place and I had no more time to think.

Dozens of maids, including me,

were walking around this lavish hall.

We managed to tie the ivory curtains and arrange the roses before I heard a voice.

"Ciel, what about the tea?"

"Oh, that's right. Where is my head. The white tea leaves were in the basement, right?"

I needed to prepare the tea from Lorraine.

I checked the hall while hurrying to prepare for the dinner.

I hurry down the basement to get the leaves that have been finely dried and flipped.

'Oh! I have to quickly boil the tea beforehand and taste it.'

Not surprisingly, I heard the butler walking from the corridor not far from here. The old uncle had a long mustache and his eyes were glaring at me.

"No matter how busy you are, you should still mind your appearance!"

I stopped my movement of picking up the tea and looked around.

In the long and narrow hallway, there was a mirror;

my face was reflected by it. I Looked up and saw my blue hair tied with a single hair stick.

I trimmed the bangs soaked with sweat and brushed the wrinkles of my crumpled Apron.

My face in the mirror was different from the usual. It was filled with a touch of determination.

Today's salary increased, so the other workers looked happy while busying themselves,

but my face was dark.

"Of all times, why must the grand duke die today?"

As a maid, I'd rarely met the duke.

The grand duke was not too old. He was handsome and

he had enormous wealth, power, and honor.

On top of that, this year was the year when he reached adulthood at the age of 20.

I was more fortunate than the great duke who died at 20.

As one of the servants of the Great Duke,

there was only a single reason as to why I was able to predict his death.

This is because this is a book that I read.

The villain who met this miserable end in the novel was Duke Perse, my master.

It is said that if you want to live well, you have to be at the villain's feet.

This is from the novel that I read, and after five years of living here,

I was sure of it.

'What is the probability of entering a favorite novel?'

Originally, my name was Yeonsieun, an Orphan.

I grew up in a nursery school, but I never felt that it was a home.

Moreover, I had to get out before the age of adulthood, so I went through several foster homes.

A child who doesn't match her age.

That's what I'd always hear from the adults.

Over time, I graduated from university, and through a competitive rate of 237: 1, I joined a famous clothing company as a store manager.

My colleagues were also tongue-tied.

I was even told I'll die from overwork.

I worked like a cow for three years before finally being promoted to team leader.

There isn't a part-time job I haven't had since I was a college.

I never relaxed a day: I had a part-time, was studying for a college degree and was trying to get a certificate.

I also didn't make a lot of friends.

In the plane, on the business trip,

the dark clouds reminded me of my life that consisted of only work.

I was so bored that I had already finished the novel that I was reading.

"Is this the way people should live? Isn't it modern-day slavery?"

I had the best credit rating in that luxury one-thousand-won store.

At the time, I was a struggling worker who had nothing to lose, never having fun.

"Working everyday, then going home, then working and going home again,

aren't you tired of it?"

One of the bosses that came 3 years before me said,

"What's left of you if you live so boringly?"

The words put me in a bad mood, but he wasn't wrong,

so I was thinking of going on a vacation to an island after the business trip.

"Dying from overwork on the business trip....'

I was on my way back from a safe and sound flight the day before returning home.

- Huh. Is.........

I couldn't even finish my sentence.

My heart stopped in front of the hotel room I got from the company, It was cold.

Who knew I would die in such a way, only working all day, all my life?

If I knew, I would have given up everything to do the things I wanted.

----------------------

"Ciel you fucking bitch!"

That was what I heard when I woke up. A voice full of malice.

"If I knew it was going to be like this, I would have sold her away!"

"Damon! What are you saying to her!?"

The iron-scratching voice spread out in the room.

Hearing the sound, I opened my eyes with caution.

An angry woman was trying to dissuade a middle-aged man.

I opened my eyes in the body of a twelve-year-old girl named Ciel.

Suddenly, memories of Ciel started flowing like water in my head.

As commoners, there naturally wouldn't be a pretty castle, and the litted house located in the slums looked like it would collapse at any time.

I had acquired a drunkard father, Damon, and my 'mother' passed away after giving birth to me.

Next to Damon was a timid woman.

The two couldn't get married because they didn't have money, therefore, she wasn't legally married, so couldn't be called a stepmother.

In the novel, Ciel's stepmother bullied her to death, but I could clearly see that the problem was Damon, not the stepmother.

Her stepmom sold cloth bags by using her clothes and sewing them; thanks to that, she was in charge of our livelyhood, much more useful than the useless and lazy Damon.

One day, when I cried because I was so hungry I felt like I might die, Damon grabbed my wrist roughly and dragged me to the street.

Then he shouted in front of everyone:

-If you're so hungry then beg and get your food instead of crying!

There was nothing else I could do as 12-year-old, and so I begged.

I brought back the unsold bread of a bakery that took pity on me, but I was met with a slap on the cheek.

-Do you think we're beggars?! I was a butler for a Baron once! Baron I say!

The bread I had carefully saved, hardly got and that was carefully baked was thrown on the hard floor.

My stepmother never came back that day because she was scared of Damon, and he insulted and blamed me every day afterwards, saying that I was a useless bitch.

It was also another miserable day where I was out on the streets looking for food.

Pah!

I was percuted by a carriage that was moving slowly backwards to stop.

I felt like I was floating, and then I was laying motionless on the floor.

My starved body couldn't handle the sudden shock and I fainted.

After two days, I opened my eyes and looked blankly at the familiar ceiling.

It was my house. The same ceiling I saw yesterday and the day before, it was definitely the ceiling of my house, but something felt different.

'uh......?'

I raised my hand towards the ceiling.

It was a small fern-like hand, rather than a long, straight hand.

- That idiot only knows how to eat. If a fancy carriage bumps into you, shouldn't you try to rip off the nobleman? This is what you call compensation! Compensation I say!

-..........

It wasn't until a year after I entered Ciel's body that I regained Yeon Si-eun's memories.

That accident that day saved me.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to run away from that house.
