Chapter 34 (2/2)

The wet hair on his forehead made him even more handsome. Dazzled, the maid lowered her head and left quickly.

After she was out of the room, she felt that her heart was pounding and her face was flushing.

“What are you doing?” somebody suddenly asked.

It was a valet of the castle who had been asked to tend to Liszt. He had just fetched some milk tea from the kitchen before he saw Anna leaving the room with a basin.

“Mr. Liszt needed to wash his face. I served him.”

“Did you? It’s not the maid’s place to do that. Anna, don’t embarrass Taro Castle!” the valet declared ruthlessly.

Anna did not stop. “Leski, you’re not the butler. You don’t tell me what to do!”

“I’ll report it to the butler!”

“I was just doing my job. You can do whatever you want.”

After Anna disappeared at the turn of the corridor, Leski sniffed. “What a bunch of bi*ches!”

Then, he hurried to conceal his anger and put on the solemn and graceful expression expected of a valet.

He knocked on the door. “Mr. Liszt, here’s the milk tea you asked for.”

“Come on in.”

…

Anna returned to the group that tended to the elf.

The maids immediately cackled. “Anna, did you touch Mr. Liszt’s face?”

“Is Mr. Liszt’s face particularly smooth? Did your heart race? He’s as handsome as the young lord.”

“Lucy touched Mr. Liszt’s face when she washed his face a few years ago. He was so gorgeous even before he became an adult.”

Anna shook her head in disappointment. “No, Mr. Liszt washed his face on his own. He did not like a maid doing it for him.”

“Why? Is… Is he into men like Viscount Ophis?”

“Probably not. I saw Mr. Liszt last year. He couldn’t move his eyes away from Sister Luya’s ass.”

“Sister Luya has the best ass. I envy her.”

“You need to slap it every day, or you won’t have any ass.”

“Right, Mr. Liszt is already an adult. He must’ve been enfeoffed, right? What’s his title? I think he’s a viscount. The Tulips’ Coral Island is a big place.”

“I don’t know. If Mrs. Melisa were still alive, he would’ve been a viscount, but the Earl of Coral Island married another woman. I think Mr. Liszt is in an awkward position.”

“How I want to comfort him.”

“Stop daydreaming. Do the nobles ever need the concern of a maid? I suggest you focus on your work. An ugly duckling can’t turn into a swan. The offspring of a duck will remain a duck; only swans can give birth to swans.”

“So what? I’ve decided to stay unmarried for the rest of my life. Can’t I create a romantic encounter for myself?”

The maid fantasized, holding her chin. “A handsome, unappreciated noble fell in love with a maid in a castle… Because of the obstacles of family and society, they had to separate when dawn came after a kiss of love. Oh, my tears are running out.”
