Chapter 11: Imam (1)
The next morning, when Lady Diella led the servants to the main house, there was a great stir among the staff. This was because she usually remained secluded in the annex.
When Housekeeper Katarina entered the central foyer of the annex, a young girl leading the servants walked past the nobles with a frown.
The sky-blue frilled dress she wore as casual attire looked more sweet than elegant, perhaps due to the wine-colored ribbon on her chest.
The annex servants ran behind her, and the nobles passing by quickly bowed their heads, sweating profusely.
Everyone was tense, knowing that even the slightest mistake could result in a flurry of abuse.
It had been too long since the girl had visited the main house directly, and not knowing where Dereck was, she randomly stopped a noble passing by.
“You, there.”
“Yes, Lady Diella. Good morning.”
The servant, who had been carrying ropes since early morning to repair the garden, stood at attention, sweating heavily.
