Itâs said that if the person had good eyes, then they would be born with the vigor of a hawk and would be brave and wise. However, if they were born with evil eyes, then they would be a fraud whoâd do nothing but bad things with that good intellect of theirs.
Angelaâs case was the latter.
âYou have a backer you trust, donât you?â
A very reliable backer. If thatâs the case, then there might be another one pulling the strings behind her.
âWhat should I do?â
Doah examined the physiognomy of the maids that Angela brought with her. They seemed as bad as the maids that had been recently kicked out.
âSo tiring.â
They were not like the maids who did odd jobs.
They were in charge of the meals. Also the laundry, cleaning, bathing and preparing to go out.
They would be in charge of everything necessary in Doahâs life.
âWhile they can naturally blend into my daily life, if I mess up, they can grasp and shake my right to live here.â
Though of course, they would act accordingly as they would prioritize their own safety.
However, as Bunny was merely a fake ducal princess from the garbage dump, Bunnyâs situation was like a candle in the wind.
She would never know when theyâd change again. She couldnât be swayed like this all her life.
Doah quickly finished her calculations and spoke.
âDo you think it makes sense for me to be attended by maids who I donât know where theyâve been or what theyâve been doing?â
âHowever you canât change the maids that have already been assignedââ
From their physiognomy, it seemed like thereâs one maid with an unusual fortune among them.
âAs expected, the date and time of their births are all written here.â
In this world, the matter of âbirth timeâ was quite important.
Because the very moment of birth was considered to be very sacred.
Thanks to this, there was a custom of recording not only the date of oneâs birth, but also the âtimeâ of oneâs birth. It was a custom for everyone, be it with royalty, nobility or the common people.
For someone like Doah, it was a stroke of luck.
Fortunetelling was based on the year, month, day and time of birth.
Besides that, the calendar system here was the same as it was on Earth, with 365 days in a year, a total of 12 months and one week was seven days.
This was the solar calendar. Therefore, it was possible to shift the focus from the sun to the moon to overlap it with the lunar calendar.
Doah, at last, opened her lips to speak.
âThis canât be your fortune thoughâŠâ
She couldnât understand.
At this, Angela responded a beat late.
âWhat?â
Doah looked at Angelaâs fortune one more time. Then, she read the womanâs face again.
ââŠâŠâ
She was nothing but a child staring back at her.
However, Angela felt as if everything about her was being exposed to this kid right this very second.
âWhy? Why do I have this feeling?â
With her fists clenched, Angela swallowed the anxiety surging within her.
Then, at one point, she couldnât stand the suffocating silence any longer. She barked out loudly.
âThen you must be satisfied enough now! Youâve wasted enough time. You have to be clothed satisfactorily enough for Credelâs standardsâright this instant.â
Then she gestured to the maids who had been waiting behind her.
They were responsible for monitoring, controlling and reporting each and every move that Bunny, the fake ducal princess, would make.
The maids moved in unison and tried to take off Bunnyâs nightgown with their rude touch.
Even so, Doah was not agitated at all.
âHead Maid.â
On the contrary, she lifted one finger up. As if to beckon her closer.
Angela approached her stiffly. Then, she whispered into the womanâs ear.
âYou. So youâre pretending to be a dead person, hm?â
