MOONLIGHT

CHAPTER 5

"I had a cup of tea with Soojin, who was packing yesterday. I also told her to take good care of you."

"Really? I see."

Taehyung only intended to have fun with the maid, Soojin, in the carriage. However, Taehyung pretended to be sorry to Lisa.

"Sorry I took your maid. I am indebted to you. She is well-known to be very good at serving, so she will help me on the long-distance journey."

He had a sad expression on his face, but his feelings of regret were not felt as much as dust.

"If I can be of any help, that's a relief."

'You're going to take her because she's well-known to be very good at serving? That's not even funny.'

Lisa already knew everything about her husband's affair. Among the many maids, it was too obvious to take Soojin along.

After eating and getting ready, Taehyung and his men stood in front of the carriage in front of the mansion. Soojin spoke to Lisa before getting into the carriage, with an apologetic look,

"Madam, Miyeon will serve you while I am away. See you again in about three months. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that the maid who will serve you has changed."

Soojin's red hair, as she bowed her head in apology, had a hairpin with sparkling jewels Lisa had never seen before. A hairpin adorned with transparent diamonds was obviously a fairly expensive item. It was impossible to have it with the salary of a maid.

'......is it the price for selling her body?'

Lisa thought so. But then another thought popped into her mind.

'But, I am no different.'

She has no right to criticize Soojin. That's what she thought.

Soojin was given an embellished hairpin with diamonds in exchange for having a secret relationship with Taehyung, but Lisa gave herself all up to Taehyung and gained fame and wealth as a Duchess.

Wasn't she more greedy than Soojin? Wasn't she wishing for more? She got wealth in exchange for giving her body to her husband, and what she gained was no different from Soojin.

As she looked at the back of the carriage leaving for Park, Lisa thought bitterly.

***

The mansion of Kim was quieter than usual. Like that day a week ago, Lisa couldn't sleep today. At this rate, she thought her eyes would stay open all night, so Lisa pulled the rope beside the bed and called for the maid.

"Miyeon, are you there?"

"Yes, Madam."

"Can you bring me some wine?"

At Lisa's words, Miyeon, who will be Lisa's new maid from today, brought her a bottle of wine. Lisa poured the wine into a glass. The scent of alcohol reached the tip of her nose.

'By now, what is happening inside the carriage?'

It would be great if I could just forget about it without caring about the Duke's personal life, but I can't help but pay attention to it because I am in an unstable position.

'How did I come to be like this?'

There is no woman who dreams of a gloomy future after marriage. It was the same with Lisa.

'If I had known it would be like this, would it have been better for me not to marry my husband......?'

"Huh......"
