"What do you think? Isn't that weird?"

"It's not strange. You're very beautiful."

"Thank you, Emma. If you say so, then that would be it."

In front of Emma, Mielle, who acted like the perfect child, smiled shyly. Emma responded with a gentle smile after seeing this. They looked much more like a mother and daughter compared to Aria and her mother.

Emma was like a mother to Mielle. Emma, who had been with Mielle since birth, had relentlessly removed anything that blocked Mielle's path.

Emma was originally a lower aristocrat. Unfortunately, however, her husband had died leaving behind a huge amount of debt and could not pay back all of her debts even after disposing of her noble title. The trauma led her to have a miscarriage, and she tried to give up her life in grief over losing everything.

And it was the former countess who had happened to save her. She had brought Emma to the mansion of the Roscent family and allowed her to live a new life as her own maid.

But whether it was a trick of fate, Heaven took the former countess from Emma. She had lost her life while giving birth to Mielle. Therefore, it might have been inevitable that she had begun to take care of Mielle on behalf of the former countess.

The only thing she had was Mielle. She had vowed tens of thousands of times to keep Mielle no matter what happened. And that could have happened if it had not been for the dirty mother and daughter who had crawled into the Roscent family. Ever since the day they had come in the mansion of the count, Emma had cursed the mother and daughter every day for the happiness of her precious Mielle.

Thinking that she could meet Oscar soon, Mielle was staring out of the wagon's window with a light humming sound, and she turned around to Emma as if she had suddenly recalled something.

"... So what happened to the wagon driver? What's the name of the driver who was kicked out of the mansion?"

"You mean Elect?"

He was a driver who was fired because of Aria the other day.

"Oh, I guess that's his name. It's been a while since he got kicked out, and I'm worried. How is he?"

"I've taken good care of him so that there would be no complaints from him."

"What about the other driver?"

"I found another job for Yagi. I'm sure cleaning the stable was a lot of trouble."

"Emma is a friendly person as expected."

Mielle laughed softly. It was a sweet, fragrant smile like her name. "You are a lovely woman who gives your kindness to even a mere wagon driver," Mielle added.

"I'm a little scared of Aria these days."

"Are you scared of her?"

"Since last summer... she's been acting like she's changed, but she kept breaking my heart."

"... miss."

Emma's heart ached because of the dark cloud over Mielle's face, who should have a fresh smile like a flower. Since Aria had suddenly got Oscar's attention, Emma had meant to scare her with the drivers, but the wicked, vulgar b*tch had cajoled the prostitute and ruined her job.
