In Annie's case, she had borrowed Aria's clothes and accompanied her to meetings a few times, but she hadn't escaped from doing chores since she had been a maid who had helped her master's going out. The intensity was only a little weak, so she had to clean up in the morning and in the evening. It was very easy and simple compared to other maids and servants, but the difference between doing and not doing it was huge. Such was the gaze and treatment of the people around them.

But this time, it was different. They decorated themselves gorgeously and their work was to do a role as a playmate or a partner to talk with their master. It was also their job to take care of their surroundings at all times so that clean dresses would not get dirty.

And it was mostly the work of aristocratic ladies. In the family of the count, commoners rarely became playmates. No such maid had ever been found with Mielle, either. Annie wrapped her cheeks with her hands. Jessie also blinked incredulously.

"Annie, I need a maid to clean up for you and pour the tea. Do you have a maid you can recommend?"

"Oh, yes! In fact, I haven't said anything, but so many maids have been envious of me when they saw me enjoy living in clover by your side! If I speak out one word, ten maids will be attached."

'Yeah, I knew it.' Just by her words, Aria could guess how envious the other maids and servants of the mansion must have been.

Furthermore, it was assumed that their envy had pierced the sky because Annie always wore jewelry and ornaments she had received from her, except for some idiots who had sworn allegiance to Mielle.

"That sounds good, then. Can you recommend a maid who is decent and behave in a pleasant manner? You pick one."

"Yes...? Yes! I'll find a very amiable girl as soon as I get back!"

Annie, who was the youngest in the mansion, behaved as if she were a head maid. In fact, what Aria asked her to do was the job of a head maid, so it was not wrong. Next to her, Jessie scratched her cheek and said softly,

"Well... you don't have to do that to me, miss."

'Oh my, did Jessie think that I only liked Annie?' There was only one woman, Jessie, whom Aria truly believed. In the past, she had been the only one who had remained with her to the end while suffering many miserable humiliations.

Because of that, she had been put to a miserable end by the shallow, stupid Aria. If she had begged Mielle in the end, she might not have met such an end.

There was no way she'd love Annie more than Jessie. She just did so because she needed to coax Annie materially. Annie was a maid who she could abandon in the middle, but Jessie wasn't. She was going to take her to the end and take responsibility.

"What are you talking about, Jessie? Have you still not realized that I like you best? You've been with me since I was so stupid. I'm sure Annie will understand this. Isn't that right, Annie?"

"Yes! Jessie served you a year earlier than I did. Of course, it is right that you like Jessie the most!"

Annie seemed to have no complaints because she received more material support than Jessie. And her goal was to raise her status, not to be favored by Aria. Jessie blushed.

"I don't have a maid who I can rely on you. So don't think in vain."

"... yeah, miss."

Perhaps waiting for the conversation to end, as soon as Aria's words were over, the staff reappeared with some clothes for the maids.
