Chapter 148.2
In the late evening at the school, she took off her maid costume and changed into black, and clutched a small glass bottle in her hand as if in prayer.
(For the sake of the young lady…)
She, Hilda, was formerly a member of a destroyed assassin’s guild. Caught by the guards while selling illegal drugs to survive, she was condemned to death within a few days.
She did not know how she managed to escape. Even if she had been a young lady of noble birth, she would have crossed a bridge that was quite dangerous.
Clara, the daughter of the Countess of Dandol, the inventor of new underwear and women’s necessities who became famous in Dandol territory and in the royal capital at a very young age, had personal contacts with various merchants and nobles, and not only gave Hilda a new identity and place, but also saved her family, which was impoverished.
Clara has several people like Hilda under her wing. Clara, however, was a good person to Hilda and her family, and she had a calculating and somewhat civilized side to her, which made Hilda want to protect her weak heart.
To this end, Hilda herself crossed dangerous bridges and even risked her life to contact the Evil Race, which had infiltrated the kingdom, and acted as a bridge-builder.
When the calculating, but good-natured master became the Crown Prince’s first fiancée, Hilda was happy to join hands with the common maids. But it was not until the arrival of the pink-haired young lady who became the princess’s attendant that Clara became so exhausted that she could not sleep at night…and when the young-looking girls started to surround themselves around Clara’s fiancée.
One in particular, Viscountess Alicia Mercis.
She was the daughter of the Mercis family, a branch of the Melrose family, the same old royal family as Dandol, and she slipped into the Crown Prince’s heart, which had been weakened by royal ties, and before long she had seduced him.
