Surviving as an Obsessive servant

CHAPTER 14

There was no change after that.

Edric didn’t get out of bed. The number of words uttered lessened even more.

But then, something strange happened.

At dawn, Rovel came into the room, breathing heavily as if he had committed some sort of crime.

“…I thought my liver fell off.” (T/N it’s an idiom that means when you feel so startled that your internal organs fall or move.)

He came in like this all the time. But it was the first time he saw him crouching at the door and pressing a palm to the heart.

However, Edric didn’t want to talk. So he covered himself with the slightly lowered blanket again.

Unaware that his master was awake, Rovel continued speaking to himself.

“No, why did Hyung try to wash away the pain of a broken heart with cold water—. I was so surprised.”

No way. What had happened in the servants’ bathrooms?

It’s hard to believe that there was a commotion this morning—but if it was Rovel he would have done something he could.

Still, Edric remained silent because he hated being caught up in situations.

Rovel’s tired voice echoed softly in the quiet room.

“I almost got caught today—”

‘—Got caught?’

The words lodged in his mind.

Suddenly, Edric recalled the bandage he had seen through the white shirt the other day.

Previously during the journey, Rovel had just come back from washing up and water was still dripping from his hair onto his white shirt.

And although Rovel immediately went to change into a new shirt, Edric had already seen the bandage through the wet patches of the white shirt.

At that moment, Edric could guess that Rovel was wearing a bandage under the shirt. 

It was only for a brief moment but Edric had seen it very clearly.

“I should be more careful—I should wash up earlier from now on.”

Maybe he had a scar that he didn’t want to show others even though he seemed to be full of himself during the day. Like himself.

‘…but it has nothing to do with me.’

With that in mind, Edric tried to shake the thoughts off his mind.
