Chapter 8 – [Part 1]

Upon arriving in front of her room with the middle-aged woman, Min-ha opened the door first, walked in, and sat on the soft chair.

Then, Min-ha glanced at the middle-aged woman who had a frightened expression on her face. Shortly after, she looked around and noticed Min-ha, and as soon as she met her eyes, she stiffened.

Min-ha looked at the middle-aged woman and spoke as if she was looking at her first.

“Is there anything you want to say to me?”

“…..I’m sorry.”

At Min-ha’s words, she apologized. At the sight of her, Min-ha sighed briefly after. The middle-aged woman’s shoulders trembled when she heard Min-ha sigh.

She was probably afraid of what’s to come.

‘You don’t have to do that. Even though Minase Persen would’ve usually gone on a rampage.’

Min-ha spoke to the middle-aged woman who looked at her with fear and vigilance.

“No worries. As long as you apologized. Don’t do it again next time.”

“…..Pardon?”

“Don’t do it again next time. Aside from cleaning the wrong place because I was lost, other people had a hard time looking for me as well. My god. Even the Duke is making a fuss about me meeting with someone secretly behind his back at the moment.”

Min-ha shrugged her shoulders after saying so.

In all honesty, I hated her for intentionally giving me the wrong directions and made me fight with the Duke for no reason, but in this situation, I felt as though I had to be the bigger person.

If I pick on her for nothing, I’m no different from Minase Persen. If I said something against her, it would have added to my bad reputation.

Besides, I want this matter to pass on quietly without making a fuss as I’m going to leave soon anyway. More importantly, I want to get help from someone to fix this doll.

She made her decision with that in mind. Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman looked up at Min-ha with her eyes wide open and said in a trembling voice.

“……Won’t you punish me?”

‘Punish?’

“I don’t mind you beating me up, but…..please don’t kick me out of the mansion. Ma’am, I beg of you…..Please don’t do that.”

Do you think I’m a sadist?
