When the Villainess Became the Male Lead's Obsession

Chapter 3

It had been a while since the moon arose. Elysia visited the annex again as she promised herself earlier. As expected, a different knight from the one during the day was on guard.

After carefully observing his face, Elysia returned to her room with a satisfied face and slept.

Even though she only went back and forth between the annex and the main building, her whole body was sore like she just had an exercise after a long time.

Though she slept well last night because she was tired as well.

Elysia, who opened her closed eyes, raised her body from her bed.

She managed to grab the bell only by moving her body a little.

When she shook the bell lightly, Elysia’s bedroom door opened.

“Miss Elysia, were you coughing again?”

Elysia’s exclusive maid came in. Rachel, the maid who was the most potential to take over the position of the next head of maid.

“How is Ariel?”

One of Elysia’s morning routines was to ask about Ariel.

Ariel woke up a long time later than her, so even if she didn’t ask, the answer was obvious.

“She is still sleeping.”

Rachel answered politely. Rachel who was familiar with this question bowed down.

Rachel could also predict what Elysia was going to do next easily.

Like always, she would go into the bathroom to wash her face. Contrary to her expectations, however, Elysia didn’t move or open her mouth again.

“Can I see the list of the knights of the Duke of Valtine?”

“…If you ask the Duke…”

“I don’t want my father to know.”

Elysia hugged her knee tightly and drooped her head on it. It was rare to see Elysia acting like this; like a child at her age.

“I’ll do my best”.

The problem was that Rachel was obsessed with Elysia’s cuteness. Even if she didn’t act cute, she would be willing to do whatever Elysia told her to do.

“Thank you.”

Rachel was a maid brought by Isabella.

Isabella, who wasn’t loved by the Duke of Valtine, became the object of disregard among the servants.

Her meals weren’t delivered on time, and her room cleaning was often skipped.

It was also a normal thing to do for them to mock Isabella loud enough for her to listen.

Elysia was glad that Rachel was here.

Without Rachel, Isabella would have passed away sooner.

“Is it because some of the knights may have offended you?”

“It’s not like that.”

Rachel, who knew that a maid packed up and left this morning, was wondering if it was a knight’s turn to leave this time.

Her answer that came back unexpectedly was negative.

“Thank you for your concern, Rachel. I’ll prepare by myself today, so you can go out now.”

Elysia, who jumped out of bed, approached Rachel and hugged her slightly.

She showed a completely different attitude from how she treated the other maids.
