It is a normal day for you in Henituse County. The day is fortunately bright, which means it is a good time to wash the cloth and dry it under the sun.

You hummed a melody, shaking your body a little while rearranging your bed. Finishing all the work in your room, you readjusted your clothes and went out of your room to continue your duty as a maid in this county.

Your steps are accompanied by your soft melody. You greeted your fellow co-workers when you stumbled upon them. Once you arrived at the designated room, you would always go the first thing in the morning. You met with the old butler, Ron.

"Good morning, [Name]."

You smiled. "Good morning, Mr. Ron."

After the simple greeting to each other, Ron opened the door to the eldest born of the Count Henituse. While Ron went to the lad on the bed to wake him up, you went to the bathroom to prepare his warm bath.

"It is surprising to see you wake up after a single attempt."

"Huh?"

Once you opened the faucet and the water ran down into the tub, you no longer could hear the conversation from outside. You touched the water to feel the temperature, and after you were satisfied, you nodded to yourself.

It just takes a few minutes for the tub to be filled with warm water. You closed the faucet and walked towards the door, but you stopped after almost bumping into the red head.

"My apologies, young master. I have prepared your bath."

The redhead, Cale Henituse, eyed you with furrowed eyebrows before he nodded.

"Right, thanks."

You were puzzled, but he didn't notice it and went into the bathroom.

"Did he say thanks to me just now?"

You blinked and shook your head. Must be your imagination.

Apparently not; once you are finished taking out a simple shirt-which is surprisingly requested by young master Cale-you give it to Ron to start dressing up the noble.

"I'll start combing your hair, young master."

"Hm."

He just hummed. While Ron skillfully puts on Cale's shoes, you get your job done quickly by coming through his hair, which is always your favorite task. Well, what can you say? His hair is soft, and this is the only time where you could touch it.

A perk being his personal maid even though it takes sooo long to make him let you do your job.

But surprisingly, he was quite docile this morning. Could it be he was still feeling the hangover of drinking last night? He didn't click his tongue or throw a crude word about you being slow even once. Also, there was no frown on his face!

"It's done."

He stood up and glanced at the mirror. Well, in his mind, Kim Rok Soo has been admiring his new body. He turned to look at you before he uttered the word.

"Thanks. Let's go."

You blinked and made a brief eye contact with Ron before you composed yourself and followed young master Cale to the dining room.
