I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince

The Morning After Harold’s Return

That morning’s breakfast was special in many ways. It was, after all, the first time I sat at the same table with both Ethan and Harold since officially becoming a member of the Blackwood family.

"Lilith, what are you doing?"

"Pardon?"

"Go and sit over there. That’s where the head maid stands, not you."

"Yes, dear. Do you intend to stand behind Ethan until he’s finished his meal in your condition?"

“...My apologies."

I had instinctively stood behind Ethan, only to quickly take a seat across from him after hearing their remarks. Usually, when it was just Ethan and me, he allowed me to sit opposite him even when I was his personal maid. But with Harold present, I always had to stand behind Ethan, performing my duties as his maid.

Anyway, Harold no longer seemed to see me as a servant. Following his words, I took my seat quietly and continued with the meal.

"Having you at the table certainly brightens things up. It’s hard to believe that little Ethan has grown up to the point of fathering a child."

"Uh... M-master—I mean, um, Father...?"

"Yes? What is it, dear?"
