- It's been five years since the lady picked me up.
The butler's work, which I couldn't quite remember at first, was finally easy to do, and I stopped bothering my other fellow servants.
Life in your mansion, until then, is like heaven.
I even get paid for my clothing and lodging. I couldn't believe it when I first got paid.
What a great place.
I sincerely thought it would be really nice for the lady to pick it up.
- But that feeling will soon be broken.
"I don't feel like this today! Why can't you guess? Still my dedicated butler?
"... sorry"
"Really, it's a stupid diagram! Yeah, I'm good. Bring me something else. Hurry up. Don't make me wait."
"Immediately"
Deeply bow your head and return your heels to the lady's command. Apparently I didn't like the tea this morning.
The lady was angry that I couldn't bring the tea of my choice, but I think it would be just as difficult if she told me to guess the mood of the day.
"Ha..."
Finish the job the whole way and go back to the private room you were given.
My feelings were terribly drained.
"Tough..."
As the senior servants said, certainly the lady did not do anything to raise her hand. But it's hard to say and do things that break our hearts.
I would put up with that once or twice, but in her case, that was too frequent.
Many times a day when it's terrible.
She chooses my heart unconsciously.
I wonder what they'll say next. Also, will they say terrible things?
Only when I got out in front of her, I was starting to think that way.
I owe you my life. Sincerely, I have no lies in my desire to serve. But if this life goes on for five years, my feelings are exhausting.
At first it seemed to me that I had no choice but to say the least about my lady, who had gotten worse every year and now wanted to look up even though I knew it was an order.
- I wish someone could flatter the lady.
Such expectations were smashed early. The Duke and his wife, the lady's parents, are the kind of people who accept and spoil the lady's home by saying they have no choice. The two brothers above the lady don't even care if they're busy about themselves or how their sister behaves.
The lady's words and actions get worse and worse.
It is I, her exclusive butler, who suffers the damage.
- Oh, I can't stand it anymore.
It's going to really break my heart if I think this life goes on like this.
- Even though I don't want to hate the lady.
Even though we are still stuck in critical places, it would be dangerous if this continued.
I knew it myself.
The lady is my goddess.
Just one goddess for me, who found me abandoned by everyone and was dying, who helped me. That's her.
I don't want to hate the goddess.
Life like a critical crossing.
I've been trying, but I've been stuck, but it's about time, maybe not.
That's how I've started to think.
And today.
I didn't know what happened.
The lady suddenly wondered if she had summoned me,
"Luke. I'm sorry about what I've been doing. I'm sorry I hit you so hard."
I said something like that.
"What?"
I wonder what's wrong. Has the lady eaten anything wrong?
Suspicious, staring at the lady. She ignored me like that and said even more.
"Until now, I've been reflecting so much on the fact that I kept hurting you. I swear I won't in the future. But I think you're responsible, too. Because you have a shriveled attitude towards me, so I'm annoyed... Ah"
Oh, to the word, I thought I saw the lady's heart.
Apparently, the lady told someone to apologize to me. I guess that means I did it... but in the end, I thought the lady was the one who didn't think it was bad.
I don't know... Apparently.
But who made the lady laugh?
The lady is someone whose pride is higher than the mountain. I don't think I'm going to change my behavior unless someone tells me so.
Even as I wondered, I said.
"... what is it, my lady? I can't believe I suddenly apologized. Did you eat anything, even weird?
"No, I'm not! How could you react like that! Normally, it's touching there and saying, 'No, Master Liz is nothing wrong. I'm the bad one. Yet you disqualify your squire from letting your husband care' or something!
I see, did you expect them to say that? That did a bad thing.... Did you?
I said as I tilted my inner neck.
"... Is that what I'm supposed to say? Then just say so from the beginning..."
"So I'm telling you it's not!?"
Apparently not.
"I am! I've been reflecting on my attitude! 'Cause, you know, you always shrivel against me. Not even yesterday! You think I'm gonna hit you? If they show that attitude, they'll have to think about it a lot and reflect on it!
"Huh? Reflection? You? And now? What... ah..."
Shit. I mean it. Instantly a scratch comes from the lady.
"Oh, it's not!
"Also, I'm sorry. Ma'am, I'll take care of you..."
I bowed my head in a panic. I didn't think it would be a good word to say to my loyal husband.
I've been careful lately and said I was trying not to say anything extra, but I failed.
Well, the lady said in a sigh that she was heartily surprised to see what they were going to say today.
"This... I wouldn't scold you for crap.... I told you earlier, didn't I? He said he would change his attitude in the future. From now on, don't hesitate to say anything to me. And I will not punish you for it."
"Uh... were you serious? Not a joke of a bad nature?
"No, I'm not!
The lady said even as she was musty.
"I changed my mind. If I change my mind, I won't yell at you. No irrational imitation."
... Is it true? Do you mind if I believe you?
Stare at the lady. If it were a lie, I'm sure this would be the hang-up and I would hate the lady. That's about as big a thing as that, I thought so.
So I asked carefully.
"... really?
"Yes."
"Because you say you don't mind me being honest with you about what I thought?
"That's right."
I'm confident that I've gotten pretty good at seeing through the lady's lies in the last five years. From that look in my eyes, it didn't look like the lady was lying.
But to be honest, I was too tired. So, yeah, I said it.
"Who are you? Is that a fake thing with a lady's skin on it?
If it was the usual lady, it was definitely a word she would have punished.
But the lady really didn't do anything. So finally, I think it might be.
Apparently, the lady is seriously trying to change her mind. I doubted how long it would last, but I also found out and was convinced that it was thanks to the First Prince who became my fiancée.
If it is true that what someone in the status of 'prince' says, the lady will be able to honestly listen.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I saw it earlier when I went to make tea, it reminds me of the Prince.
Prince Alan. The Duke said he was the impeccable person to marry the lady.
He was certainly the owner of the appearance that the lady seemed to prefer. And he seems to have a great personality.
In just one day, I changed the lady so far. That's something no one has ever done before.
I really want the prince to marry the young lady like this.
If you're with him, I'm sure the lady will be able to move in the right direction.
"Good..."
Squeeze small.
It was critical, really critical, and the goddess that was in me was protected.
The goddess remains a goddess and still exists in me.
Someone who helped me.
My loyalty, my lord.
I'm so glad you didn't have to hate her.
I'm so glad she stayed my goddess.
If she does that and changes, I can get there in silence, too. Always will be.
My life, for as long as there is.
Because I think that's the only thing I could give her back that day that the lady helped me.
Take that oath again that day.
This time it will never shake.
