Obey Me

5. Omen

Volume 2

A week later, Rubinia Cassner really came to Count Buchanan.

Kyrie's offer wasn't a bad condition for Rubinia. Currently, Buchanan's position in society was higher than that of Old Ciudad and Eden Hall.

During that week, Kyrie was quite busy. He wouldn't have done it in the past, but since 'that conversation', Nathaniel's gaze had become strangely persistent. And Nathaniel was naturally attached to Kyrie a lot more.

Thanks to this, she needed something else to focus on, and the small salon that Kyrie opened did its part.

Rubinia Cassner got off at the back door of Count Buchanan in the midst of the salon.

Wearing light orange shoes and dress, a bonnet with lace and flowers, and a white cloak with a black spotted pattern, she spat out a rough greeting with a lovely face.

"It's not funny, really. Inviting me on the day you open the salon? You've been looking forward to the day you water me, haven't you?

(Q/C: Rubinia said Kyrie is looking forward to the day she humiliates herself or fails in front of others.)

"Come in for now."

"Take this book and go away. I don't know if I found the right one, but I want it back within a week."

Tossing it, Rubinia handed the book to Kyrie. It was also rough but it was already expected. Kyrie clapped twice.

"Hold her."

"Yes, miss."

"What...!"

Older and stronger female servants under Kyrie's command grabbed Rubinia's arm.

"Wh-wh-what's this? You said you wouldn't kill me! L-Let go of me?!"

Kyrie smiled.

"I didn't want to use this method, but our personalities are polar opposites, right? I thought you'd listen to me if I did this much."

"Hey!"

"Don't talk down to me. I'm a higher person than you. Come on, Miss Cassner."

"You, you! As soon as I get out of here......! H-h-help me! The Legend is killing people!"

When Rubinia, who was in high spirits, shouted urgently, Kyrie smiled.

"I won't hurt you. There's no bottomless foothold, nor poisoned teacups."

"It's worse than those!"

"I didn't say I wouldn't hold you."

"Eek! Where are you taking me!"

The servants took Rubinia Cassner to a small room on the first floor. Kyrie went into the room together and sat down.

When the door was locked, Rubinia, who could not hide her embarrassment, knocked on the door with her fist.

"C, can't you open the door right now?!"

"Instead, sit here and have some tea. Maria gave it to me, and it's of great quality."

"What on earth are you doing!"

"Cut to the chase? Oh, my God. It's my taste, too."

Kyrie brewed the tea and chuckled. She turned her gaze out of the window. Rubinia, who followed her gaze to the window, frowned.

"Ha. You want to show me that?"

Beyond the window, five or six young people invited to the salon were singing like sparrows. All of them were 'Rubinia Cassner's close friends' that Maria told her. Rubinia opened her eyes wide and laughed.
