–Really?

–Of course! I will… do… my best…?

Elysia’s gloomy face immediately brightened, as that of any scheming adult would do.

It was then that Roa realized her mistake.

–You’re really a good person, Roa.

–A good person… Is that so… Well if you say so… I’ll believe it… Thank you.

Roa found herself in a situation wherein she couldn’t shut her mouth.

–I like kind-hearted people.

Kind and quick-witted.

The type of person Elysia liked the most.

–Ha,haha….

Despite Roa receiving praise, she didn’t feel happy.

–Please take good care of my little Ariel.

The moment she finished her sentence, Elysia walked away.

Roa sighed deeply, alone in the place where Elysia left her.

–I’ve let my guard down…

Roa hit her head with her balled hands, one after another, after too late realizing Elysia’s trickery.

–I can’t take it back now…

The fact that Elysia put an effort into tricking Roa meant that she cared a lot about Ariel. It was evident that Elysia had observed Roa more than the other maids.

Chilled to the bone, Roa was scared but couldn’t think of a way out of it.

–Ha,haha… Let’s do our best…

The water had been spilled already.
Roa accepted her situation with a face accepting defeat, and decided that she’ll just do her best at work.

It was like that at the time.

–‘I heard you were a little bit of a tomboy! They said a little!’ Roa’s mind screamed, pertaining to Ariel.

Since her first day as Ariel’s personal maid, Roa had to consciously keep from screaming aloud.

Roa couldn’t keep up with Ariel’s activity level, and the muscles all over her body screamed instead of her.

Despite Roa’s muscles pleading for rest, Roa continued to suffer from muscle pain for a while longer.

‘Haa… This is really killing me, when will I ever get used to this…’

After continuous ‘vigorous training’ from Ariel, it became more bearable for Roa.

Although, the sweat all over her body hadn’t decreased since the first day.

“Hehe. By this, I’m already in the tenth apparel Unnie wore!”

“…….”

At Ariel’s gleeful announcement, Roa continued her broken thoughts.

‘Miss Ariel… is wicked…’

Maids hired the same time as Roa preferred cute and friendly Ariel over Elysia who was intimidating.

Roa didn’t dislike either of them.

If Roa could be honest, after looking after Ariel, she understood Elyia’s affection for her little younger sister.

‘No, but that’s not really it…’

However, Roa couldn’t get used to the sight of Ariel collecting the clothes of her elder sister with ill-intended thoughts.

Perhaps the prideful Elysia, who thought she knew her little sister the most, wasn’t aware of Ariel’s wicked secret.
