Tragedy 71
“Huh, but…”
“But, what? Can’t you see the pattern of the carriage I came in?”
The guard froze. With a puzzled look on his face, he told Seria to wait a moment, then darted back inside.
This was a matter of physical appearance before self-respect. She rode in the Berg carriage, and once she was publicly the Grand Duchess of Berg, she had every reason to be treated accordingly.
‘If I’m the only one who wants to make a joke of myself, I might just say yes, but I’m not.’
After a few moments, what jumped out was a face that remained fragmented in Seria’s memory.
“Lady Seria!”
It was Kellyden’s butler. He looked at Seria with a puzzled expression.
“It’s been a long time, butler.”
“Yes, My Lady. How have you been in the meantime?”
“Let’s go in first. Open the central gate.”
“I can’t do that.”
“Why not?”
“Currently, the gate on the right is open, and it is not time for the central gate to open yet.”
Even she was a Stern with the Great Temple behind her back, and a Grand Duchess, but she was blatantly ignored by the servants. If Seria was an ordinary, timid young lady, the current attitude of the butler would have been a hundred times worse.
‘I can see why Seria’s personality, which was a mess, was getting worse.’
“Go and tell any of your superiors to open the central gate. You don’t want to see me scream my deceased aunt’s name in this solemn place, do you?”
“….”
‘It wasn’t just a threat. Because I could have done so wholeheartedly.’
The butler’s face paled as he knew exactly what Seria meant. He hesitated but then he said, “I’ll contact them again,” and went back inside. How much time had passed? In fact, they made her wait outside like this was already an act of disrespect.
Seria quietly called Abigail, who was standing silently behind her.
“Bibi.”
“Yes, My Lady.”
“You can see very clearly that I am being abused, can’t you?”
It was something she could say because it was Abigail. In fact, Seria was honestly embarrassed to look back at the Berg Knights behind her.
‘How many people in the house would want to let everyone know that I was this much of an afterthought?’
“…”
Abigail was silent for a moment and then whispered in Seria’s ear.
“Do you want me to smash the gate?”
Seria chuckled, “Then you’d have to pay for it. I don’t want to spend money on Kellyden.”
“Well, Miss…”
Abigail asked when she thought she seemed distressed.
Abigail seemed troubled and asked.
“I can cut down the people you have to reimburse for the gate?”
“Kuh-huhm.”
Alliot, who was relatively close to her, gave a cough. It seemed obvious that he had just heard Abigail’s words. He still wasn’t used to Abigail’s flowery way of speaking.
