Chapter 53
Meanwhile, around the saround place where people rarely came
It was a bases, and it seemed to be beneath so opposite each other
Two tall, handsorave as the dark evening, one man opened his lips first to speak
“I believe there’s so on at the Valentine’s these days”
“Allegedly, the nanny of the two ducal princesses had been abusing them all this time It’s been revealed recently, and the household has been in a state of panic since then”
The man who first initiated this conversation tilted his head to the side
“…It’s already been revealed? As expected…”
The man on the opposite side asked, but he soon nodded to himself The other man couldn’t hear what he said to himself
“Why, is there a problem?”
“No, it’s not like that Then, has the nanny been executed?”
“Not yet I believe it took them some time to confirm who else has been involved in the abuse Well, now that it’s over, she’s about to be executed”
‘Executed’
At the faue
When he closed his eyelids deeply and opened the like a heartbeat
“Then, that house’s servants will pour out”
“Well, I suppose”
The siiven to servants was to kick them out without a recommendation letter
No matter how much power the Valentine Duchy had, they would not kill or dispose of everyone as involved in the crily…
Locking them up in prison would just be a waste of resources, and it would be a complicated process as well
Therefore, the punish, confiscation of belongings, and firing them without a recommendation letter
And to any servant, a recoht
If they ithout it, this meant that they would never be able to work for a noble ever again
In other words, this was tanta them of their livelihood forever
There was no better punishment compared to this
The man nodded satisfactorily and leaned back on his chair
In the dark, the pale fingertips swept the table pleasantly
“Just in tiood Even if that wasn’t the case, there’s so I wanted to check”
As he said this, he sipped on a glass of wine The otheryou want to check? What is it?”
It was a question asked casually
The other enuinely wanted to know, but only so he asked offhandedly
However, the man’s expression hardened with such frostiness in an instant the moment he was asked the question
The relaxed slare frohtly
“Why do you ask?”
At his inhuue
‘Ah’
Again, he touched a nerve
This ardless of whether it was an inconsequential question or a trivial co as this
Like a person who’s gone insane over soin with, but…’
It was only a few an to induce chills
“Mine All ue, he repeated the same words
Clearly
Rather, with a slurred tone as though he was drunk
The ain
“Don’t turn your attention to what’s mine If you even dare look, I’ll kill everyone”
The terrible words that were muttered under his breath didn’t seem to be a lie, and so the other man could only shake his head
No uy’s belongings
A few days later, in the
Beneath the midsummer sun, the Valentine Duchy’s residence started the day with a lot of noise
The ongoing search for Katie’s accomplices was finally over, and all the servants of the lateral mansion poured out of the ducal residence
Whether proven guilty or innocent
However, the difference between the two groups was evident
Their expressions were vastly different
The forly, while the latter couldn’t help but sroups were fired from the residence in the same way, but their situations were coroup was treated no better than cried as punish withheld
Not to mention that their future was bleak because they were dismissed with just the clothes on their backs and no recoroup consisted of individuals orried about the trauma inflicted unto the two ducal princesses, yet they were still dislance, people ht think that this was unfair, but no one was dissatisfied by this conclusion
In return for being dismissed, they received reco with a severance pay that no one would be unhappy with
It’s already been decided which household they’d be sent to next, so even if they left the ducal residence, it was not a loss on their part
The forroup with envy in their eyes
And one of those ere envious was Marie
Marie, who had once been Rosetta exclusive s she had to receive, she limped away as she wiped off the tears that dripped down her face
‘…I’roup…’
Rather than with this group of people ere lile coin, she should have been with that group who had recommendation letters and severance pay in their hands
Marie felt as though she had been bitterly wronged
Wasn’t it that the ducal princess promised her?
