When I got off the boat, the first thing I did was to change my identity, as the head maid told me.
Fortunately, the head maid didnât lie to me.
I was able to get a new identity there safely.
They changed my identity and helped me run away.
But the only problem isâ.
It is said that the amount of payment had increased compared to when the head maid told me.
The damn world. Whether in Korea or here, rising prices make me want to cry.
In the end, I used up most of the money I brought.
âHow long can I last with thisââ
I was pretty exhausted at the time.
I wanted to rest because I was exhausted from being anxious at the Marquis of Evantes, but I couldnât afford it.
Then something fell in front of me.
A job posting said a Baron around here was looking for a new maid.
And it was a piece of paper that would change my three years.
âBaron SavlinâŠâ
Itâs never mentioned in the original. And it was the best family for me, who didnât want to be entangled with the original storyâs characters.
I immediately applied for a job in Baron and was hired in recognition of my previous experience as a maid.
âYour name is Shabrina?â
âYes.â
Shabrina was the name given to the new status.
I made the fake identity to resemble my life.
Shabrina, as expected, also worked as a maid in a remote land.
âOkay. Shabrina, you will be serving the Lady from today.â
ââŠYes?â
They want me to meet the Lady of this mansion all of a sudden like this?
The newly chosen maid?
Whatâs going on so fast?
I think itâs strange because itâs not normal, but the butler looked at me with cold eyes as if the meaning was clear.
âWhy? Do you hate it?â
ââŠItâs not like that.â
He knew everything I was thinking, but I was told not to complain and to do what I was told.
So, on the very first day that I started working for Baron, I was assigned to take care of the Lady of this mansion.
âWhatâs the deal with the takeover?â
He roughly led me to meet the Lady of this mansion.
Well, I didnât really know anything enough to be confused.
At that moment, someone whispered to me.
âBe careful.â
ââŠ.Yes?â
âAll the newcomers here are deceived by Lady Michelleâs angelic face.â
Why are you suddenly saying this?
âSo, donât judge Lady Michelle for what kind of person she is. Donât be deceived.â
âAh, yesâŠâ
âYouâd better listen carefully to the advice.â
In the absence of information, I had no choice but to tilt my head and put the words in the corner of my head.
But then I should have listened to the advice.
Then I wouldnât have been hit in the head with a vase as soon as I entered the room.

The big fire that spread across the festival was quickly put out.
When the urgent situation at the festival was settled, Argen ordered to find the culprit who started the fire and investigate the background.
Argen directly organized this festival under the order of the Emperor.
There were rumors that war was about to break out, and the Empire as a whole was in an uneasy atmosphere.
So Argen, the emperorâs main force, took the lead and held the festival in a grander way than ever before.
âI canât believe thereâs a fire on a day like this.â
It wasnât a good sign.
He didnât believe in superstition, but he couldnât get rid of the strange feeling.
After sorting out what happened at the festival, Argen returned to the Marquis.
Aside from the incident, he had to show up at least once as the organizer of a party at the Marquis.
âDid you solve the problem, Marquis?â
âYour Highness the Princess.â
In the banquet hall, a woman with light blonde hair called Argen over.
Argen stared at her with cold eyes.
The 2nd Princess, Evangeline.
Even though she was a concubineâs child, her power could not be ignored.
A few years ago, she was just an insignificant princess, but everything has changed for her since she became the most important person in the development of ânew weapons.â
She was now a princess who had established a fairly solid position in the Imperial Palace.
âI wanted to see the monster, but I donât think I will ever have a chance today.â
âI want to show you too, but itâs too bad. I will show you next time I have a chance.â
She wasnât disappointed at all, but she made a well-spoken sound.
The Princess was the culprit who caused a commotion to move the monster in a hurry today.
The Princess pretended to be curious, then gave Argen an order disguised as a favor.
However, Argen was well aware of the Princessâ intentions.
Sheâs thinking of checking to see if that monster is transcendent.
The Imperial Family has been interested in the transcendent from ancient times.
There were many times when their power shook the world.
For that reason, the transcendents were a target of vigilance, but at times they were also a target of embrace.
In particular, the princess, who became one of the main pillars of the empire through the development of new weapons, showed a deep interest in the âtranscendentâ.
âYeah. If you have a chance, please show it to me next time, Marquis.â
Argen nodded in agreement. Of course, the intention is to make it impossible to meet.
When he left the banquet hall, the pain he had endured came rushing in, and Argen almost groaned.
The pain was rising from the pattern near the neck.
Argen stumbled as he entered the main building.
He barely grabbed the door of the mansion and stood there.
ââŠHa.â
Argen held back his groan and tried to stand properly.
He must never collapse here.
âMarquis!â
The butler who had found Argen ran to him at that time.
Argen took his hand off his door and tightened his neck as he tried to talk calmly.
âButler, bring Rosie.â
He was planning to ask Rosie to apply some herbs.
Otherwise, he felt like he wouldnât be able to overcome the pain and bend his knees right away.
It was a particularly strong pain today.
âThat, Marquisââ
âWhat are you doing? Come get Rosie.â
âThatâsââ
The butler didnât answer right away and hesitated.
He opened his mouth only when Argenâs eyebrows rose.
ââŠRosie is not here.â
âWhat do you mean?â
Is Rosie not here?
Up until this morning, Argen had met Rosie.
Come to think of itâ.
âDid she go on vacation?â
ââŠ.â
âHow dare she not tell me?â
There were quite a few staff who went on vacation during the festival period.
However, Rosie was the exclusive maid of the monster appointed by Argen.
Even if she goes on vacation, sheâll tell him right away.
But she didnât say a word and left.
âHow arrogant. Who gave Rosie a vacation?â
Does that mean she didnât do her job well?
As Argen continued to speak, the butler started sweating.
ââŠRosie is not on vacation.â
âThen where did she go? Without my permission, Rosieââ
âNo one sent Rosie out. Rosieâsheâs gone.â
ââŠWhat? What do you mean Rosie is gone?â
Thereâs no sign, but she suddenly just disappeared.
ââŠThere was an accident today. That isâŠthe monster has run away.â
As if he had no face, the butler managed to open his mouth and continue the report.
ââŠ.â
âThe monster ran away, and RosieâŠ.â
Around that time, the butler stopped his words and looked at Argenâs expression.
A face with no emotion.
But the butler didnât know what kind of feelings were really in that face.
Cold and anger.
It felt like his whole body was going to freeze.
âFind the monster and Rosie right away, butler.â
âI thought so, so Iâve already ordered a search. Weâre on a search, butââ
Along with the butler, all of the servants around Argen held their breath and looked into his eyes.
Argen looked at the people in this place with cool eyes.
âIf Rosie and the monster are not found, everyone who has anything to do with this today canât be safe.â
ââŠM, Marquis.â
The butler quickly opened his mouth to say something to Argen, but when he looked into the mad green eyes, he couldnât say anything.
The voice did not come out easily.
âButler.â
ââŠY, yes.â
Argen tried to say something, but couldnât speak any more because of the burning pain.
He felt like he was going to faint.
He ignored the restless butler and walked past.
When Argen got to his room safely, he violently released the cravat and grabbed the wall.
Even getting to bed was hard for him, and he felt like he was going to fall.
First of all, he had to deal with this hot pain that seemed to burn his body to ashes.
Argen pulled the string attached to the wall with blurred vision.
âD, did you call me, Marquis?â
The servant, who ran to Argenâs call, felt the fierce air and trembled.
ââŠBring me some herbs.â
There was no detailed explanation, but the servant quickly understood what Argen was talking about.
Because he remembered that a maid named Rosie came and went into Argenâs room every night with herbs.
The servant hurriedly found the herb Rosie was using and brought it with him.
âLeave it there and get out.â
ââŠThen I will leave.â
The servant closed the door quietly and went out.
Argen frowned and untied his clothes.
And as Rosie did, he spread herbs around the pattern.
Argenâs hands and sleeves were covered in crushed herbs, but he moved quickly and didnât care.
He hopes that this pain will go away.
The pain eased little by little as soon as the herbs were applied.
But.
âThis is not it.â
When Rosie applied it, the pain disappeared as if it were flying away. Butâ.
Now, the pain of the curse remained like a residual heat and tormented Argen.
ââŠDamn it.â
He wanted to call Rosie right away and beg her to relieve this pain.
But there was no Rosie here.
Argen eventually collapsed as if fainted.
