Chapter 43

“Is it because you saw the teacher just now?”

I don’t see her (Franc) as a person who can lie flawlessly.

It’s strange for anyone to see a trembling Franc now since her position is much better. It’s as if the evil lady next door was saying ‘Look at my secret scheme using her!’

“O-of course! I also have some sense, because I came to urgently tell you about what she said!”

“Okay, tell me. What happened to you?”

Franc immediately slumped down and knelt.

“My lady, please save me. I wouldn’t have gotten close to that person if I had known she was really like this.”

“So what’s going on?”

With her hand frantically trembling, she held out a purple vial.

A small, shiny, and pretty purple vial, looking like an ordinary perfume bottle.

I leaned my body back in the chair as she handed me the bottle, sniffing its content. Jeez, I turned away my face instantly. It would’ve been a big deal if it was a dangerous scent to breathe in directly.

‘Uh, this scent….”

The smell lingered on the tip of my nose and slowly faded away.

A very sweet scent. A faint scent that lingered around Teacher Rima’s body.

“She said to hide it on the Young Lady’s dresser table so she’ll be chased and kicked out of the mansion…… Obviously, it’s probably dangerous.”

(E/N: Franc means that Shuelina would be kicked out, not that Rima would be kicked out)

“So you accepted it first? I told you to play along.”

“Yes, yes….”

Apart from what I said right away, Franc seemed to know how terrifying it would be.

She was made my personal maid, and I know enough that if she’d been caught, she would’ve been punished with death.

“She told me that if I don’t do it right, she will tell everyone that I was talking about you. And then I will be kicked out here.”

“But I already know.”

Franc nodded as I said it with a smile.

Franc said she didn’t know that she (Teacher Rima) was a bad person that would take hold of other people’s weaknesses.

Honestly, I don’t know what she believed in before because she has now opened her heart to a child like me.

‘Anyway, the timing was right. Fortunately.’

If Nina hadn’t found Franc, I’d be in big trouble without realizing it.

“Tell the teacher that you hid it well. And if there’s another chance to do something for her, agree to help her and come to tell me.”
