The Reader who became a Butler

Chapter 3

'Thoughts'

Since he inadvertently slept with Cale...Wait, what? that doesn't sound right, but anyway, you get the context.

He had been trying to avoid him as much as he could, which was a bit hard considering that he was one of Cale's attendants. Thankfully, Cale seemed to ignore what happened.

'Well, it's all good, right? I'll just avoid getting involved as much as I can' He made a mistake by getting involved, but he won't do it again, he promised.

"Hans"

"Y-yes, young master." He was currently kneeling down trying to avoid the piercing brown eyes staring at him blankly.

"Did you do that?"

"Ehem, I do not know what you're talking about, young master," he said with faux innocence.

You might be wondering what our dear troublesome butler did, right? Well...

Hans was just passing by while wheeling a wheelbarrow full of fertilizer for the garden.

"Oh thank you Hans"

"Your welcome Mr. Tony. Oh, would you also like some cold water? It is a bit hot this afternoon."

"Oh, that would be great. You're a life saver, Hans."

"You praise me too much, Mr. Tony."

When he was about to turn and get some refreshments, he and Tony heard quite an interesting conversation.

He really wasn't trying to listen, but Tony urged him to settle down and hide as he was curious about what the guests were talking about.

"Mr. Tony I-"

"Shh Hans, we've got to stay quiet. They might catch us. "

'Aigoo I don't really care about what they are talking about, just let me go. '

"You know, I do not get why the Count has not still kicked that trashy oldest of his."

He could hear someone sigh, "Not only that, he also accepted someone of no blood relation to the Henituse family? This is an insult really. "

"He even married a commoner with zero benefits. I do not get what the count is thinking. "

"Maybe his old age has caught up to him?"

"Or maybe the death of the late countess really affected him mentally."

And all he could hear was them maniacally laughing.

And Hans, hearing them say those things, didn't really feel any anger because he could somewhat understand what they were trying to point out, and really, he didn't care about the gossip going around this manor. He just wants to finish his job and just go back to his daily peaceful routine.

"These motherfuckers," he heard Tony curse, and most of the servants would have agreed with the hurtful and disdainful words of the guests.

However, Tony wasn't one of them. He had been serving this household when the countess was still alive, so he was quite fiercely loyal to them, and to hear someone badmouth them? Even if they are esteemed guests? He was extremely enraged.
