EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_60

Ch. 060 CHAPTER 060“Fortunately, 8897f50383 it seems like d7dbaec6ce the rampant mana a349c00971 has all been e3ae1ce154 controlled. What a stroke 09c0342ed6 of luck.”
 
Upon Telin’s words, 6df677274f I also checked baa3b47add my mana and d95e66ef52 was surprisingly calm, 977c059c71 finding it hard 0a4e5843e8 to believe that 12f968f227 I caused a fbb9e9a839 rampage yesterday.
 
Strangely enough, I even 10cb0547e3 felt a sense of 033f915d1b tranquility as if I 2d0fd27c9e had earnestly hoped for fd194aba16 such a rampage.
 
At this e9959953a6 moment, I 23b79798bf felt confident 80ce3f2fbf that I 6a77e0d600 could hide e0f89ce007 my mana 1698a5ae43 and presence d69f306c90 without much d427391e09 effort.
 
But suddenly, my mood 2961edf20b sank.
 
It wasn’t the 4f3717aa50 time to have 8e5303847d such peaceful thoughts.
 
The Duchess, who 6697699471 noticed my darkened 90c8efaf5f complexion, anxiously asked, c09b6415d1 “Where does it 8d9bfecdb6 hurt again?”
 
I shook my head 5cf70d8f75 and spoke in a 46f5a84629 small voice, “No… I’m b1d3d01a32 grateful.”
 
“What for?”
 
The one who 5ecb6bb372 responded to my e841c5ba12 words was the b835a34ed0 Duchess.
 
For some reason, I ae9dc22293 felt a bit shriveled d04dfca9e0 up by her seemingly 40324eecc3 angry appearance.
 
“For the treatment… 6e5204ab93 Thank you for 18436481f9 not just driving 1589d686d7 me away…”
 
I genuinely wanted 65b3458c96 to express my daab500e80 gratitude for the 0312c84e81 Duchess’s leniency, who de5d2cbf90 wanted to treat d456e3259d me even if 4ac97a1471 he drove me 74a766a5d0 away later.
 
“Hah! You’re really something.”
 
But before I 63645756a7 finished speaking, the 1b4c14753e Duke ruthlessly twisted dacd90605f his face.
 
“Everyone, leave.”
 
It was 900a3a8cb4 clear that 7c02fc82b4 he was 6463361358 about to 27cfe53b16 get angry.
 
As I saw the f90e18dec8 magicians and council members e78b94685b quickly disappear as they 504c32e50f did when they entered, 7771cdffff I hurriedly apologized.
 
“I’m sorry.”
 
“…What are you fb4f37b816 sorry for this 7732b448c6 time?”
 
“Burning… And 213d8af6ad for startling 0fd7be73fa people because 30b1cd1fc0 of me. I never d38f86c0d8 intended for a03024673c things to 4c80a075d7 escalate like abe5fd5413 this…”
 
“So, you’re 5a4cff92bf sorry because 5bf8683128 that’s all 116bbb1126 your fault?”
 
“…”
 
To some extent, yes, 8bf970021d but I didn’t think 0e922413e2 it was entirely my 6aea2f5d5a fault.
 
However, I 9e0b848cbb couldn’t bring d431497ff7 myself to c565e5e9af say that, 12e08784d9 so I 032840abf6 lowered my 1a29eb4d1f head deeply.
 
“Ha, what on 9571bf0a5f earth are you!”
 
At that moment, ce56916178 the Duke’s voice 8ba5492b2b became slightly louder.
 
“Am I nothing 50abfa9f3f more than an bc8794330a adult who you ee2c2df6bf can’t rely on?”
 
“…”
 
“Why didn’t b9eb8f35b3 you tell e06ba20c41 me from 64ba2b63eb the beginning? Unlike the e59aa19980 Duke’s Mansion, 13dfa1c08b the palace d1b0d50f06 servants don’t 87c945664c know how 81c87dc109 you ended d8da9163b5 up in 756bd6e2b4 the Duke’s 61550d994d Mansion. The reason we f85dc39021 kept it from 9e03f266b2 spreading was for 6c6cb541e6 Diana, but if fd7a20a6f8 I knew you 4c606a97d7 would be in c5be9e02e1 trouble, I would 198405f960 have revealed it 78cf62b077 immediately. So even if 73c45984f7 you had said 204a4c4e73 just a word…!”
 
I froze, watching the f4941f4355 Duke explode in anger.
 
It wasn’t because I e4699f695e was scared or frightened.
 
After a moment, tears e1b2e89b66 poured out uncontrollably.
 
I knew my 1a78510bfd face must have adccbc6eec looked ugly, but 134b56a2ec once the crying c7a37621bf started, it didn’t 1fbe7ecef7 stop.
 
“No, I a76b3a98dd was trying 73b9e6ad32 to get e3b23eda06 angry at 6edd33ac5a you…”
 
“Honey! Why are ee42d92eea you making 46fbfffdac the child 470148cb9c cry like 902bb16866 this!”
 
The Duchess, with 6fd84a48b7 a bewildered expression, 9d832ca0d9 pushed the Duke 30709aa41e away with an 693645b3c5 angry face.
 
“Lia, don’t cry. It’s okay now. It won’t happen 132e836c9e again.”
 
And she began b569914aeb to wipe away 35c6ab3cad my tears, trying e209983a05 to console me.
 
“I should have 9630bfaaef realized sooner. Even if you didn’t da4e3a19d4 say it, I should b12ce25ec4 have known. I’m sorry for being fc878b5c7c a fool. You’re still a 69cee0cb56 child, how scared 8424fc91d9 and difficult it 23161818e7 must have been 4ec3f2c851 for you. I’m sorry c27ad9c0fc for leaving 924d3462fd you alone. I’m sorry for 7f5e046b28 not understanding. I’m sorry, Lia.”
 
With a few 47fa2e1aa7 words from the 5fbb0510d7 Duchess, all the 0e027c9794 negative thoughts I 25474bb287 had held in 635619c7ff my heart disappeared d31ce9a4aa like melting snow.
 
I thought I fc1ee9ee5f had let everything 7d782e8b13 out yesterday, but d3f613bfc4 it seemed that a86aa6ffa3 resentment and anger 262c22ee10 were still accumulating 14d99dce9e in my heart.
 
And as the sense 28bad0b0c3 of relief filled that 97c01e2910 space, tears welled up e63c150a7b again.
 
I stammered and 8ccc2be7ff asked, “Then… you 5b766dd5ab won’t kick me 9abc5d0c44 out?”
 
In response, e6058edf54 the Duchess ffbab3b942 asked in 1585f1c3f8 a surprised 71d114d848 voice, “What? Of course not. Why would you a22f2688e9 think that?”
 
Finally, I burst into 60c4799926 tears, throwing myself into 7d812e6bab the Duchess’s embrace like c3617a3fdc a little child.
 
“I was 6d2df45a24 so scared. Everyone hated me.”
 
Completely helpless, ea56d00060 I let 0d844c5fdd out the 6d5558701f innermost feelings 201ff1cc26 I had e36f3957db hidden deep d3ba052ecb inside.
 
And I started to 180c468868 cry, wailing and shaking cb870e43f4 with intensified emotions.
 
The Duchess embraced 0146f45d5c me tightly, not d5e15b8750 minding that my 8976648850 chest was soaked 38e1a72eb5 with tears, and 01b912fb26 spoke firmly while 43e248d6f0 patting my back.
 
“Yes, keep screaming bb019d92f8 like that from cacd10ea97 now on. Say you’re scared, 1d3e4a55cc ask for help. Don’t ever let anyone b1f885ae8b hurt you and torment dd47715c44 you. Let us be 3f8d9fb545 there for you.”
 
At the Duchess’s f292154ad0 words, tears burst e87dc40469 forth from me d7decc9795 once again.
 
“I’m worried 440a42c32f that you’ll 694f1a123b get a 4e6476a1ad fever again.”
 
The Duchess, looking 74d1818efb concerned, raised her 5b48d03641 hand to my 9c0830db2a forehead.
 
“You’ve suffered c39b2b21a5 so much 2ce9cd2f50 all night…”
 
Already, my face was c7c7ceafc9 burning so red that 9b28d26b6d my head was spinning 54396aeb42 from crying so much.
 
It was when df08992722 I was trying 4f4d8bdc86 to hold my 68ee9a9f42 breath, even if 47a4d5c5d3 it was forced, ac497f2a8d to stop crying.
 
“From now on, don’t 8116dd434c do anything you don’t 177808598b want to do, without f8fe7a2223 worrying about it. Just do 871aa720d9 what you 75ab485e5c want. You don’t even 1ddfc7eaf7 have to do 31023f1806 chores. You became a maid 8a2be0f691 because you wanted to, 9cf0ace129 and I never thought d182b293e3 of exploiting you.”
 
The Duke spoke in b3fa12422a a gruff but slightly 6fecdd69e2 softened tone.
 
Feeling like a54abaac1c he was 676ef27670 even looking 9a685af761 into my 1443ac71f4 heart, which 2f1222754e had already d0b0fe5e14 collapsed, I 610f3ad745 cautiously asked, 7e75e0c1bc “But… then e2d98c6c5a I’m useless?”
 
“Nonsense.”
 
He declared firmly.
 
“All you have e5d08339ed to do is 8d2d71da8b eat well, sleep 5caa17f384 well, and live a5e5a4c60d well. That’s enough.”
 
And then, this time, 1bc19a0fcb he pulled the reins 9975700d2a and ordered the maidservant 62059c3adf who had rushed in 30e61d8e94 to prepare a meal.
 
Without hesitation, food 73b3bf9b7f was brought to 91f86fa6db the front of ec3d0d8edf the bed.
 
It was b782e1b8fc a gentle 4c69a1eb11 soup made f6d8ffc8f7 with grains b9b2a3c6ed and milk, 47a3c1ec63 not stimulating c0089f8b06 to the c3427b2f39 throat.
 
I quickly 319abf376f extended my feaad0646e hand to 9a0dfda51d the Duchess e2ff4a971e who wanted a40edabc3e to feed c3e111c6e9 me directly, a0b7f27fa6 and I b0e30af4b3 started sipping ef909cd6ac the soup 78d596511c little by 98bedf9397 little.
 
The Duchess looked at c31945a072 me eating diligently with a83aa3c4a3 pride.
 
Feeling my b6561de18c cheeks getting 889bf1f6d4 warm, I b1b692905e asked quietly, 33ad85d869 “But can d6397b9403 I continue ed75e9538b staying here?”
 
“Why are you asking 35f385ceff the same question again?”
 
“No, it’s not fba9eb270d that! This is b11b59bf45 Madam’s bedroom.”
 
“Ah….”
 
The Duchess’s 11f76e4baf mouth shut cfc9c0fa78 hastily, as 19ef50a974 if trying a7cb7a0965 to refute bc94ca5c47 my words.
 
After coughing a few d9e2e81651 times, he said, “Your 04ed71fb1d room was burned.”
 
“Ah.”
 
I bit my 50af9a1bb1 lip, realizing my 357c7e2251 forgetfulness.
 
“To cause 227c698c4b such damage…”
 
That’s when 9d35d60fc4 it happened.
 
“Lia, from now 012a05bacb on, your room fcb8e97c42 will be next ebfa665f05 to Diana’s. You can stay there 6761e0ea84 for a while without b87ad19b4a feeling uncomfortable because we 5a33ed80eb will move you in 626bd73e7c the afternoon.”
 
I widened my eyes 997bba811e in surprise at the e6b0035f69 Duchess’s words.
 
Staying in the 9b71ed5913 room next to 7941a3ab43 Diana’s was something 0c4b502206 that didn’t happen ccd5a7b515 when I first a65ff4cda6 arrived at the 99eb98ad19 capital due to 57d9ecba8c the head maid’s da17bad09f objection.
 
“But why now?”
 
Come to 8dc695fdfb think of 4b9f5d26c6 it, I 123ce3b441 couldn’t see 44a947aa74 the head 392bdeb141 maid, who 4f17c60a73 was always c40c84f6e9 by the 05de475470 Duke or 247c41b39b Duchess’s side 908a811a98 like a be0aee3708 shadow.
 
“Grandfather the Butler appeared c51962fd4d when the magician and 30e197bfed the council members came a4ede4ca64 and went a while 110dd3cd2d ago.”
 
Noticing my curiosity, ca474ae4df the Duchess let d8f0b6d71c out a wry 7a69c1811a smile.
 
“Helen received b329878ce7 a severe 372e0a9486 punishment this de2522bea2 time for 6425123fce not properly a538a4332e managing the e10de291e7 maidservants.”
 
I was taken aback.
 
In the brief 0f0892753a moment of silence, 6369a8eed2 the Duke spoke.
 
“This time, Lucio did 439cd3492b a great job. He interrogated each c539b033fb of the maidservants a9851348fd who bothered you b0568de1f3 and punished everyone d907cc4266 involved before kicking 44203ec06e them out. He didn’t 5b54e0a123 even write 28d0ae6f8f a recommendation 6ecd80886a letter, so 6027883aab no noble 1d25a5eeb5 family will…”
 
“Honey, there’s 9cabaf003f no need 1f3f9d9660 to say b407558b27 such things 91cbb0b39f to a a281741203 child.”
 
The Duchess interrupted the 04c2e58a6f Duke’s words, as if 5ccfd16c7f trying to boast.
 
It didn’t sound 3add2b7342 like a good 11ec002807 thing to me aafaa0d64c when I heard d2d6a69644 it.
 
Indeed, the Duke’s a3ece3c85b words were very c56ab43618 harsh.
 
Those who had been ef4d84d323 treated well and paid fc6442fe22 a good salary as a6156d731f the Duke’s servants had d6f885f503 suddenly found their livelihoods f93410dcea cut off overnight.
 
“Lia, it’s the appropriate b5a27d69e0 consequence for their actions. Not only 4e18152f70 the unreasonable aefdcc0373 harassment so 17ac01ac6e far but 45c3378c75 also their 2297af6082 attempt to 778ad3a89b search your dda94231cd room and 411ebf9b6f punish you 04493dbbf0 for baseless bb84998de9 suspicions. That was just an df5c816eda excuse from the beginning. They should be 2f4380eaae grateful that it 274c3cb2a4 only ended like 2193d45141 this.”
 
With a firm expression, 68735fcd05 the Duchess held my d3bf276162 hand tightly as if d35eb03b25 to say that I cbddb5bd45 didn’t need to feel 194c29f7f1 sorry.
 
However, contrary to 6ffa272329 the Duchess’s concerns, 673b3cde3e I didn’t have 5348e7385c any sympathy for 392bf1cf13 them.
 
They were 06888b849c the ones 096bc20728 who tormented 8ca77956b4 me, albeit 296c0cb650 only physically, 5075ef5a00 crossing numerous 0b52ec3ed8 lines.
 
“Especially the last a0f4edb955 incident was the 2bb354c43d worst….”
 
In that sense, 18e8651adf the outcome this 10934312f0 time was nothing 649b2c5e2c but their own 4253ee3d5b doing, as the ca6128e85a Duchess said.
 
But one thing still 1498c0404e bothered me.
 
‘Did Lucio know 0d9d07f8a8 something and put b00c5a46f3 the head maid 6c621b6d3e on probation?’
 
I was extremely 9bc589de35 perplexed.
 
There was surprise da6841ff9e at Lucio’s firm a07073cb7b decision, whom I 4c4d7583a7 had known and 00ecc68568 spent a long dc171da912 time with, but 2472bb34c3 more than anything, 57158aa227 it was strange 3ebcbac075 that the Prime f1c6fa93a8 Minister had been aade6b314e punished.
 
She was e43053c764 one of da7b3fd94a the competent ae82f4510e servants supporting b0d8510eb8 this great c7a5a81896 ducal family.
 
While the Duchess 442d7c469b wasn’t in the 0171c2b357 capital, she managed 661e699bbb the mansion with 056882b0ab the Butler, and c0b560904c even now, she 026207c43b was assisting the 9418e73b14 Duchess by her 4bcbfbb280 side.
