Don’t Be Obsessed With An Extra

“>

” Ha, I can’t believe this!”

Jestine couldn’t believe it.
She used to hide like a rat and couldn’t even raise her head.
But now she looks at me straight and even talks back like that.

It seems I grew some courage after dying once.
Jestine gave the maids an eye gesture.

” Kneel.”

” Yes, Lady Jestine.”

At her command, the maids approached Priscilla.

I didn’t think it would end nicely anyways.
Jestine threw a sneer at Priscilla’s face.
It was like she was saying ‘ let’s see how long you can be sassy’.
The maids lunged at Priscilla.

Priscilla stood from her spot smiling.
During the time where Kim Dong-Hyun’s stalking was scary, so I learned self-defense in my freetime.

” You can’t be like this.
“

Priscilla surprised Jestine by overpowering the maids one by one using her self-defense skills she learned.

“W-What!”

Priscilla approached Jestine and pointed her finger towards the door.

” Will you leave now? Or should I do more to your maids?”

Jestine firmly bite her lips.

“… I’ll leave for now, but I’ll make you regret it.”

Villians and wicked people always recite those lines.
Maybe it’s expected since this is inside a novel? Jestine left the room violently after huffing and cursing out her maids for their stupidity.

After came peace.
Priscilla made a gesture to the maid trembling outside the door.
The maid swallowed her dry saliva and Priscilla approached her carefully.

” What’s your name?”

” Yes?”

” Your name.”

” I-It’s Rien.”

” Your age?”

” I-I’m sixteen.”

” Sixteen?”

” Yes.”

My goodness.
Isn’t that the age of a middle school student in Korea? She’s in the age that’s prime for studying.

I realized how outdated this world actually is.

” Can I speak casually with you?”

” O-Of course.”

” Okay I received your permission.”

” Yes.”

Priscilla had a pleased smile and asked the next question.

” Are you my only maid? “

” Yes, it’s just me.”

Your power in the palace is determined by how many maids you have.
Obviously, Jestine is first and after her are several other princesses.
Of course, there are princesses like Priscilla who only have one maid.

Priscilla threw questions about this and that to Rien.
She asked about the palace, the emperor, and even about the Frances Empire.

With this, I could approximately tell where the story progress would roll out.
Priscilla thanked Rien for her sincere answers and asked to eat dinner together.

” I-I cannot!”

Rien stubbornly refused.
There is a rule that does not allow maids to sit at the same table as their master.
But Priscilla did not care.

Since she doesn’t like eating all alone.
As a result, Rien has no choice but to be pressured to eat with Priscilla.

” Let’s eat together like this everyday.”

” But..
the rules..”

” It’s okay, who’s going to say something if the master gave you permission.
And I hate eating alone.”

Rien looked at Priscilla with an understanding expression.
There’s no place more lonely and isolated as this palace.

And, Priscilla is alone, being abandoned by her family and her country.
That’s why Rien pitied her.

” Haa.
“

Priscilla lazily yawned and streched.
When she looked out the window, it was already midnight.
The sad Rien stood from her seat.

” The time has passed like this already.
I’ll get you ready to sleep.”

Being too tired to respond, Priscilla nodded.
Rien put out her place to sleep, and Priscilla laid inside the bed and shut her eyes.

Rien covered her with a blanket and left the room after cleaning the table.
Priscilla slept comfortably for the first time in a long time.

Late in the night, the light in the office of the Emperor’s palace was still on.
Inside was a man with black hair on the sofa reading a book.
His blue eyes didn’t stray from the book.

The man inside was the Emperor of frances, with a bad reputation of being a tyrant, Micheal.

Knock Knock-

He heard the knock even as he’s immersed in the book.
Micehal doesn’t withdraw his gaze from the book and opens his mouth.

” Come in.
“

The door of the office was quietly opened and a middle-aged woman came in while bowing.

” Your majesty, the great hope of the Empire.”

Micheal closed his book and looked at the girl.

It was Margeret, the head maid at the palace, the Emperor placed her in the palace to monitor it.
Margeret manages and oversees all the maids in the palace.
And, she reports all the events that happened at the palace to the Emperor.

” If you have come to see me at this time it means that something has happened at the palace again.
Did Jestine do something again?”

Margeret reported all the events that happened to Micheal.

” Priscilla? Jestine tried to harm Princess Priscilla, that’s odd.
“

Priscilla was a beautiful but weak princess.
Not long ago, it was said that she survived thanks to a miracle after attempting suicide.
That kind of woman lunged at Jestine.
