However, at this moment, Martha's figure was nothing more than that of a frightened middle-aged maid.
It was understandable because her opponent was him.
Aside from being 195 centimeters tall and 60 centimeters wide, even the duke would be overwhelmed by him.
"What's going on?"
Martha, who was bowing her head, slightly raised her head and looked at Ellenia.
Eyes that seemed to be begging for help.
On the other hand, Izek did not turn towards his sister.
His outline in the cool morning air was chilling.
Unexpected cynicism flashed in his sharp eyes.
"Will you say it yourself?"
Martha flinched at his smooth and insensitive voice.
Ellenia just wrinkled her forehead.
She didn't have a good feeling.
Her older brother was rude enough to compare to Sir Ivan.
As such, it was rather normal for him to show his anger.
It was scary for him to be soft-toned like this.
"I'm sorry, miss. This humble maid doesn't know her place......."
Was this also related to Rudbeckia?
She felt it was obvious, but she found herself stopping before judging further.
"What did you do to Ruby?"
"I was just worried, since madam doesn't know much about the situation here yet. It may seem presumptuous, but now that she's the mistress of Omerta Castle......."
Martha, who hesitated and trailed off, straightened her shoulders to look straight at Ellenia.
An attitude where she somehow suddenly regained confidence.
At this unexpected change, Ellenia was unknowingly about to hold Izek's wrist.
"......I told her that it would be better to gradually reduce her bad habits because there are a lot of eyes on her. She got angry and slapped me."
Looking at Martha, who had an apologetic look on her face, Ellenia felt her headache stirring up again.
This was an unexpected bomb.
In addition, a slap from someone who had a temperament like Rudbeckia, was far worse from pouring tea.
But this incident happened right after yesterday.
"I'm sorry, miss. Because I forgot my place and went out of my way......."
Martha, who immediately knelt on the floor and bowed her head, looked truly sheepish and sorry.
Nevertheless, Ellenia was unexpectedly recalling the fact that Martha lied to her even the other day.
The story of the small commotion that took place on Izek's birthday banquet.
At that time, Martha gently admitted to her wrongdoing and after giving her a hard time, Ellenia forgave Martha.
It was inevitable that not only Martha but also most of the servants did not like the new madam.
She thought time would solve this.
This was after the chaos of her escape, so she felt it was normal.
She assumed that such a frivolous thing would not happen again.
That was why she told Martha about Rudbeckia's secret and what she had in common with her dead mother.
