Not a Villainess but a Maid - Not a Villainess, but a Maid chapter 57

#052 Back to the mansion

The first semester ended and vacation began.

The carriage that was leaving for the academy on her first day of school was now heading back home.

I read intently what was in my notebook in the rickety carriage.

“Why are you looking so hard, Amber?”

“I exchanged addresses with club members. “We decided to exchange letters during vacation.”

“···Hmm.”

Ruby didn’t seem very interested.

Well, she never checked the mailbox every day.

Actually, I wonder if she likes anything other than playing the piano.

I flipped through the notebook with addresses written on it, making sure no one was missing.

‘The last one was definitely Momo… Uh?’

The back page of the last address was folded.

When I opened that part and checked, an unexpected name caught my eye.

[Clara]

Her name and address I don’t know when she wrote it down.

Clara clearly remembers that she wasn’t in the club room at the time.

Did you at least write something down while you left the notebook aside?

‘···.’

Putting my many questions aside, I gently closed the notebook and put it in my bag.

***

When I got off the carriage with my luggage, a familiar sight greeted me.

A large mansion with an unnecessarily large yard. Behind it, a hill the size of a house stretched out.

I’m about to cry from longing.

The memory of climbing the tree planted there and rescuing the cat was still vivid.

-Jingle jingle.

I rang the bell on the gate, and the sound was transmitted through the string and headed into the mansion.

After a while, a woman with gray hair wearing a maid uniform trudged out.

“Who are you?”

She frowned and lifted her glasses from around her neck, as if she couldn’t see clearly.

Then he smiled broadly and said.

“Miss, Amber…! “You’re back!”

It’s been a while since I last saw Merilda, and her gray hair has grown even more.

She walked up to Ruby and took her hand, she asked.

“Have you had any inconveniences? “Amber didn’t get into some kind of accident, right?”

“···Yes. “Nothing happened.”

The relationship between the two people still had a simple atmosphere.

After finishing her greeting with Ruby, Merylda turned to me.

“···Amber.”

“Everyone, I’ve been there…”

Merilda glared at me with a slightly solemn expression.

Did I do something wrong…? Now that I think about it, it seems like I didn’t leave my blanket hanging when I left…

As she was alone and shaking with her anxiety, she hugged me tightly and said,

“It’s nice to see you after a long time.”

She seemed to regret not being able to greet me properly when I left, and she welcomed me properly.

The warmth I felt for the first time in a long time brought tears to my eyes.

“···Yes. Me too. “Merylda.”

Merilda, who had been hugging me for a while, slightly moved away and grabbed my shoulder and said.

“Oh, and…”

“Yes?”

“How many times have I told you to leave the blankets behind! “Where are you leaving your mind, Amber?”

As soon as I arrived, I got scolded by Merilda again.

Please return my emotion.

***

I grabbed my luggage from the academy and headed to the attic.

This was the room I originally lived in, and although it was a bit moldy and dusty, it was still livable.

‘Still, it’s good to be home…’

I was tired from coming a long way today, so I gave permission to rest.

I opened the attic door, thinking about resting my back comfortably on the floor.

-Udangtang.

“What is this!?”

As soon as I opened the door, all the miscellaneous things that had been filling the room came pouring out.

There was a broken piano among the dogs, so I almost got crushed to death.

‘Why is my room like this?’

As I stood in front of the room door with a confused face, Merilda heard a noise and walked up.

“Oh my! Are you okay, Amber?”

“Yes. I wasn’t hurt… “What is all this?”

When I gestured towards the items filled in the room, Merilda responded as if she was embarrassed.

“Well… I temporarily used the empty room as a storage room while you were away. “I forgot to put things away…”

The room was already so tightly packed with things that there was no room for even a single person, so I thought it would be a task to clean them all out.

Merilda said she would clean it up now, but I shook her head and refused.

“When are we going to put this away again?” “I’ll just leave it at that.”

“Are you sure it’s okay? “Personal space disappears…”

“Umm…”

After thinking for a moment, I thought about where I should sleep.

‘Milk house? Or Merilda’s room?’

The former is difficult because the house is small, and the latter is a bit awkward because it shows signs of attention.

As she was wrapping her head and thinking, Ruby came striding up her stairs.

“What’s the fuss?”

It seemed like the sound of things falling could be heard all the way to Ruby’s room.

Merilda looked at Ruby, and she explained the situation.

“Amber’s room has become a storage unit, so she needs a place to stay during her vacation. Miss.”

Ruby responded indifferently to her words.

“If that’s the case, why don’t you share my room?”

“The lady is in the same room as Amber…!?”

Merilda looked quite surprised at Ruby’s answer.

“Um, are you sure you’re okay? “Can I sleep with someone else?”

“Yes. It’s been like that all along in the dorm, so there’s no problem. “As long as you like Amber.”

Ruby’s eyes turned to me.

I have no reason to refuse. Ruby was the one she stayed with the longest and was comfortable with.

“Yes. Then, I will stay in the same room as you during the vacation.”

The problem was solved unexpectedly quickly, but Merilda looked quite shocked.

“After all, it is something we will live to see for a long time… “I never thought Lady Ruby would give up her room to someone else…”

Thinking back to her past, when her maids had to be careful about even entering her Ruby’s room, it could have been truly shocking for her.

I was amazed once again when I entered Ruby’s room.

It’s twice or even three times bigger than the attic I used to live in!

Of course, it was a room I came and went to every day, but the thought of living here gave me a special feeling.

As I was laying the blanket under Ruby in a corner of her room, she asked me curiously.

“What are you doing, Amber?”

“I’m making my own bed. “Is it a bit inconvenient to pass by here?”

At my words, she shook her head firmly and took up her blanket.

“Did you really think I was going to make you sleep on the floor? Your bed is over there. Amber.”

Ruby pointed to her own bed with the tip of her finger.

“···There is only one bed?”

“Yes. “Why is that?”

There was only one queen-sized bed in Ruby’s room.

‘No way, in the same bed with the young lady…?’

Ruby went to her own bed and lay down as if it was a given.

“You too, come and lie down. “It’s big, so it won’t be uncomfortable for two people to sleep.”

“Is that okay?”

“Yes. “I’m going to lie down countless times from now on, of course.”

Ruby said as she lay on the bed in a seductive position.

“Now, touch it. Amber.”

She swallowed.

If you just lift your hand, you will feel a soft touch that makes you feel immoral…

I’ve seen it countless times, but I’ve never been able to touch it, let alone pass by it.

I carefully walked towards the bed she was lying on and gently lifted her hand.

“It’s okay. “Touch it.”

-Munchul.

‘Soft!’

The soft yet moderately elastic feel was truly a work of art.

Ruby, who was watching me with flushed cheeks, grabbed my remaining wrist and dragged me.

“Don’t be so timid. Squeeze harder. Like this.”

She held it here and there, changing her shape, as if trying to explain something to me.

With heaven in front of me, I continued to worry.

Is it okay to do something happy like this? In the end, I couldn’t overcome my desire and grabbed it with both hands.

‘Oh…’

It felt like my brain was being taken over by the soft touch protruding between my fingers.

“Wait a minute, Amber… “If you do it that rough…”

I soon became dissatisfied with just regular kneading and started squeezing it with all my might.

‘There’s no way I can tolerate something like this…!’

Ruby suddenly pulled me away from my mind, which was already dominated by softness.

“Amber! “If you hold it that hard, the blanket will be ruined.”

“Oh, sorry. “It feels so good, so stop…”

The blanket and mattress on Ruby’s bed had a truly heavenly feel.

I almost lost my mind.

After that, I tried lying down and rolling over a few times, so I quickly got used to the feeling.

Ruby slept in a bed like this every day. It’s on a different level from a dorm bed.

Sharing a room with her made her feel like she was still in the dorm.

I feel like we have become closer because we share the same bed.

I lay down on a large bed in a room with the lights off and looked at the ceiling.

I’ll be busy again starting tomorrow. While at the mansion, she returns to her daily life as a maid.

But, I think I forgot something…

I was lying down in a daze when a thought crossed my mind and I jumped up.

‘That’s right…! Lady’s birthday!’

I checked the calendar and it was already tomorrow.

I tried so hard to make cookies for her birthday.

I’ve been feeling awkward with DIA for the past few days, so I’ve neglected practice.

‘What should I do…? “Are there any ingredients left in the kitchen?”

There is only one day until the lady’s birthday.

Until then, if you wanted to make delicious cookies successfully, you didn’t have much time.

Ruby was still sleeping soundly, so now was her chance to escape.

‘I will definitely complete it, by tomorrow!’

So, I passed through the dark hallway of the unlit mansion and walked toward the kitchen.
