Surviving As The Villainess's Attendant

"I didn’t know he was this much of a troublemaker."

I couldn’t help but mumble to myself as I watched Gareth laughing like a madman.

Even in the strictest noble households, there are blind spots. Places even the head butler wouldn’t bother checking.

One such blind spot lay between the floors of the mansion’s old east wing—just enough room for someone nimble and silent to crawl through.

And that’s exactly where I was.

Using my profession as an [Assassination Thief], I was easily able to infiltrate the Count Valstein household.

I also know the general structure of the Valstein estate. And how do I know that?

It’s simple. After the social gathering, I had asked for information about surrounding nobles in the north from Hans.

One of those nobles was Count Valstein.

Hans happily provided a map when I asked about understanding friends and foes after the social event incident.

Wedged between the support beams and dusty insulation, I had found a gap just wide enough to spy on Gareth’s room through the grating in the wall.
