.
She was able to dust off the carpet without having to run it all over the carpet anymore, and she was able to tidy up without leaving her handprints on the duvet.

It was the result of her trying to somehow take a share of the two while Irene was down.

But, why…?

‘What did I do wrong?’

When she remembered the guest who slapped her on the cheek a while ago, a sad and injustice mood surged up.

It was true that she made a lot of mistakes as usual, although she did not do anything wrong today.

Until recently, all Louise had done was to go to the winter garden to pluck the ornamental branches.
Because the winter garden was in front of the annex where Rodion mainly lived, she happened to run into him on the way.

There was not much to talk about with Rodion at that time.
They had a black cat with them, so we were just talking sneakily.

— What kind of cat is that, Young Master?

— Huh? Yeah.
It was digging through the bushes, so I gave him a hand, but he did not even notice.
I think he seemed very hungry, so I want to take care of him.

— Shall we ask someone else to bring some cat milk?

— Aren’t fish or meat better at times like this?

— Ah, if I ask Miss Irene, will she say that milk is better?

— …What would you know?

— Of course, I know, Youngest Master! We shared the same bed yesterday, too.

While Irene was bed rested, Louise and Rodion became quite friendly.

It was partly because of Louise’s cries every time she treated Rodion’s wounds.
Most of all, it was largely due to the fact that the two got along better than expected.

Especially when it came to talking about Irene, which was a common favorite person between the two of them, it seemed that they could talk for hours.

So, on the next day, after Irene gave half the bed to her, Louise went to Rodion and told him about it.

— I am sure I am Miss Irene’s best friend in this mansion.

— Huh, Rea would like me more?

— You do not know that!

— No.
It is clear.
Rea looks at me the same way she sees a dog.

‘And, she said she was more comfortable with me than my brothers.
So, of course, she likes me better.
Just wait and see.’

Thinking that, Rodion grinned and left first with the cat.

It was as if it was clear that Irene’s favourite was with him.
His appearance leaving was rather annoying.

Hence Louise stuck out her tongue once against his back and tried to get on her way.
The problem was that as soon as she turned her back, a young lady was standing in front of her.

Her cherry blossom-colored hair and a lovely girl whose cheeks were dyed as pink as her hair…

‘Is she a guest?’

As always, Louise greeted her cheerfully.

— Oh, hello! Did you come to see the Masters?

— Yes, well… I am.
Though I have something to ask you for a moment.

— Anything!

— What is the relationship between you and Rodion Lavrenti?

— Yes…?

Louise replied without realizing it.

Did she see that I was talking to Rodion a while ago? But, all of a sudden, what’s going on?

— You can be honest.
I do not mean to punish you, I just want to know what is going on.

— Um… A relationship between the employee and the employer?

When she answered that, the lovely girl’s face turned cold in an instant.
She also seemed a little restless.

The next moment, she spoke firmly, clutching her fan as if trying to hide her anxiety.

— I heard what you said earlier..

— Oh, so have you seen the cat?

— …What? Are you kidding me right now? Do you think I will fall for this?

— I really do not know what you are talking about!

— Yes, I heard that you share a bed with Rodion Lavrenti!

— Pardon…? What do you mean?!

— Even after I am telling you that I heard everything, do you keep going to keep this up the way to the end?

‘She is ignoring me, too…’

Somehow, it felt like she could hear a murmur.
Although she had no way of being sure.
Because immediately after that, her gloved hand slapped Louise in a flash.

Clap!

With a slightly dull sound, Louise’s head turned.

Maybe, it was a hand that had never hit anyone, her cheek didn’t hurt that much.

Though somehow, there was no way to hide the vain sorrow, so Louise forgot that it was rude and stared up at the young lady.

It was not the first time she had been beaten because she could not work or make a slip of the tongue…

Nevertheless, she does not really understand why she is so sad right now.
