“Is that woman your ‘Anissa’?”
Yuric placed his hand on Dietrich’s shoulder who was looking dejected at the back of the woman who was getting farther away.
“Is she that Anissa whom you love so much you would give up the Grand Duke seat to me if you could just see her again?”
“........That’s right.”
Dietrich, who ignored Yuric’s words, belatedly nodded his head.
“You threw everything away and looked for her and here I thought you’re already dating…..”
His heartless half-brother clicked his tongue and made sense of the situation.
“So it’s a one-sided love.”
Dietrich wrinkled his brow in annoyance at Yuric’s evaluation and touched his temple.
“I think there’s a misunderstanding.”
He didn’t know what she was thinking, making him out to be a womanizer.
He was dumbfounded that he had wanted to explain to her but even if he did, she had already walked away so fast that she had become as small as a thumb in the distance.
He could feel her fuming just by her enthusiastic gait that he felt confused.
Last time, too, she had looked at him as if he were a rake, and today, she definitely had made her own strange misunderstanding.
“I can’t believe she called you a womanizer, it’s a bit unfair. You’ve never even held a woman’s hand because you kept talking about Anissa.”
Yuric grinned, teasing him who had a dumbstruck look.
There was no way the elders would have left the young Grand Duke alone who had no interest in women, what more of marriage.
Even though they didn’t attach a woman to him obstinately, people were still allured by his appearance and high status, but Dietrich had never given them an eye.
“I thought you were just making excuses not to meet women, but I’m relieved she really does exist.”
Yuric laughed lazily and tapped Dietrich’s shoulder. However, he still only gave him a warning with a face that didn’t smile.
“She doesn’t know that I’m Dietrich Lagrange, so treat me like a servant in front of her.”
“Only in front of her? Shouldn’t I start now? If you want to act then we should do it perfectly.”
“What are you going to do perfectly?”
Yuric, who was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to boss around Dietrich, gave a flustered smile at his bloodthirsty eyes and spoke.
“Ah, I heard Hermann Euclid will be coming.”
With that one name, Dietrich’s cold atmosphere in Lagrange, unlike his docile personality right now, returned in an instant.
‘I see.’
Yuric shrugged, blaming himself for thinking that Dietrich had changed.
“Why is that bastard coming here?”
“I think he must have heard somewhere that you’re playing a commoner. I think he said he’s also coming to play?”
“Why didn’t you stop him?”
“What power do I have to stop the Duke of Euclid?”
That’s right. They didn’t have the power now.
Dietrich groaned in annoyance at Yuric’s blunt answer.
────── 〔✿〕──────
‘What in the world is going on?’
It was strange enough that there was no rose war like in the novel, and even stranger that the Grand Duke of Lagrange visited the territory of this humble Viscounty out of the blue.
‘Is that not enough that even Hermann Euclid is also coming?’
Did the backdrop of the novel change to a booger-sized territory of a Viscount instead of Lagrange or Euclid without me knowing?
I stared up blankly at the ‘protagonist’ who made a spectacular appearance with fanfare.
The beauty of his appearance was less than Dylan's, but the lively charm of the main character stood out, drawing one’s attention.
Astonished, I quickly bowed my head, but I could feel him approaching me when he got off the horse.
‘Is he going to hit me for being insolent?’
Nobles didn’t like it when their servants leer at them.
I was frightened and glanced at the Viscount and his wife who didn’t know what to do with Duke Euclid’s appearance.
“Are you the Viscount’s maid?”
“Yes, Your Grace! I’m Annie!”
Thankfully, Hermann’s voice was friendly. When I stiffened up as I answered, he even smiled as if to say there was no need to be afraid.
“I like your hair color. So I’d like for you to become my personal maid.”
“.......Excuse me?”
He’s going to pick his personal maid based on hair color which had nothing to do with their skillful hand and capabilities? I looked back at the Viscount, swallowing my chuckle at Hermann’s absurd remarks.
He nodded greatly, grabbed my shoulders, and pushed me at Hermann.
“We can do that, Your Grace!”
“Does the maid’s opinion not matter?”
“She’s just a maid so what opinion does she have?”
“I don’t think it’s right to say that.”
Hermann’s face stiffened. He obviously denied the words of the Viscount but I thought that he was essentially no different from him.
He picked me out of a bunch of maids like an item after all.
“It’s an honor for me to attend to Your Grace.”
Even as I grinned to please the young Duke, I thought of Dylan.
‘Even though Dylan looks like a loafer, he’s not an aristocrat.’
I didn’t know why I couldn’t get him out of my head when he’s a degenerate and a womanizer.

Since I hadn’t seen Donovan for how many days already, perhaps he had something to do, naturally, I ended up serving Hermann instead of Donovan.
After a few days of following him around, I found out that he carried many nicknames such as ‘protagonist’, ‘hero’, and more than I expected he’s……
‘Either stupid or just bright person.’
He’s an easy person.
I didn’t know why the busy Duke left his territory and came down to the Viscounty, but he seemed quite free.
The first few days, I had been following him, but after a few days, I had been so busy wiping and polishing the manor that he started following me.
‘He’s getting in my way so why don’t he just go back and take a nap.’
Hermann, who had offered to help when I said I needed to clean the garden, was of no help at all and only asked questions here and there with eyes that sparkled with curiosity which was annoying.
‘Dylan has been a great help.’
I longed for the kind and blunt servant of Lagrange. Of course, since Dylan wasn’t a noble, he must be used to chores.
“Annie, Annie. What’s the name of this flower?”
“It’s a cockscomb.”
“It’s pretty just like you!”
I heaved a sigh at Hermann, who was smiling brightly like a young boy as he plucked flowers from someone else’s garden while handing them to me.
Normally, if I behaved like this, the authoritative aristocrats would have hit me by now, but I already found out how easy-going of a person he was.
‘Isn’t he still looking at me?’
When I didn’t give him a positive response, he held the flowers he picked in his hands and roamed his eyes restlessly.
“Phew, please give me the flowers.”
“Why did you sigh?”
“If you grip them like that, they’ll all die.”
“Ah! Sorry!”
He hastily dropped the cockscomb from his hands and apologized. I swept my broom around him and opened my mouth indifferently.
“I can do this by myself so you may go back.”
“But I wanted to help you.”
“Your Grace, may I be honest with you?”
“Oh, you can tell me anything. I am a man who knows loyalty.”
“Really?”
Hermann greatly nodded his head at my question.
“Of course. Tell me anything.”
“If you’re going to continue to stick to me, you’re going to get in the way of my work, Your Grace.”
“....Am I annoying?”
Hermann asked me carefully. If he were a puppy, he would have drooping ears in his appearance so imagining that, I couldn’t answer right away and only moistened my lips.
“Annie, I think there’s a misunderstanding but I’m not originally a person like this who clings to someone.”
I didn’t believe him at all.
After all, Hermann’s been following me around and bothering me after we just met.
‘I thought he was the type to easily become lonely when nobody’s around.’
When I only stared at him with round eyes, he opened his lips with a sigh.
“I also don’t know the reason, but I feel like I have to stay by your side.”
"?"
I scratched my cheek at the familiar foreboding of a situation that was about to come which I’m quite used to since I became Annie.
‘It was the same situation with the kitchen assistant and even the prospective butler….’
I wondered if the Duke fell for me.
I placed my hand over Hermann’s shoulders, strangely satisfied by my overflowing charm.
“I’m sorry Your Grace, but I don’t see you as a man at all.”
“What are you talking about? I also don’t see you as a woman.”
“.......Excuse me?”
His face stiffened seriously at my rejection. I couldn’t meet his eyes in embarrassment at his distorted frown.
“I just feel like I have to protect you. I think you would fall into danger right away, that’s why.”
‘Is it heroism?’
I understood his sentiments since his main job was being a hero, but if I’m in danger of only using the broom in the garden, it would be because I only fell into a puddle.
“Your Grace, there are many people in the world who needs your help more than me.”
".................."
“Why don’t you go and help them.”
Hermann slumped and turned his back at my firm words.
His figure made me a little weak-hearted, but if I continued to suffer like this, I may not be able to finish my work properly today.
‘And then I would get scolded by the head maid again!’
My salary had already been reduced because of Donovan’s hatred, and if this continued, I might not be able to leave the position of a maid in the Viscounty for the rest of my life.
‘I can’t let that happen.’
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
