234 – Chloe Side Story – The Maid Serves the Cat – 3
Even when the warm sun sets, the light does not disappear.
While the sun went to rest, the moon rose instead and shines a cold light on the earth.
But the clouds roaming freely in the sky don’t seem to like the brilliantly shining sun and moon.
Because sometimes the grumpy cloud would block the eyes of the sun and the moon with its body.
When the light disappeared, monsters crawled out from the ground and roamed the world. I wonder if there is a child with good taste.
It is said that every time that happens, the sun and the moon wait for the clouds to calm down and pass by. To bring light to the world again.
This is a passage from a fairy tale handed down throughout the empire, and it is a story that adults usually tell to keep children inside the house when they want to go outside and play even on cloudy days.
In weather like right now.
-Crack.
While the clouds covered the moonlight. The two figures hid themselves in the dark and climbed over the wall of the mansion.
Chloe quickly climbed up like a cat, grabbed Gloria’s hand and pulled her up.
“Thank you.”
“What is this much?”
Was it not a bluff to say that he was the second greatest thief?
I ran from quite a distance, but I couldn’t find any sign of the owner’s breathing being disturbed. Even I feel a little out of breath.
“So what are you going to steal?”
Gloria decided to make her goals clear before setting foot in her marquis’ mansion.
“Well, I heard there is an heirloom piece of jewelry. That seems like the most expensive one, so I’ll go with that.”
‘Go and see….’
There was one thing that came to mind in those words.
Blood Diamond.
This is a gem discovered in a collapsed mine formerly owned by the Lambert family.
It is a gem held by a miner’s corpse, so named because it shines red as if it were soaked in blood.
Another story is that the jewels were dyed red out of resentment from the miners who were sacrificed, but I honestly don’t believe it.
She thought it was a suitable item to steal because it was small and symbolic, so she jumped down the wall with Chloe.
But maybe the timing wasn’t good?
“What a guy!”
I was discovered by the guards patrolling the area.
“Master! Leave this to me and during this time…”
Gloria looked next to her and opened her mouth, but Chloe had already disappeared. It was as if she never existed in the first place.
‘Where on earth….’
As someone who was proud of her own skills, she was momentarily taken aback by the fact that she didn’t even feel the sign of it disappearing.
“You broke into this place alone without any fear. Your liver is swollen.”
They also didn’t seem to realize that Chloe was there.
When the guard tried to blow the whistle around his neck, a colleague next to him stopped him.
“Hey, wait a minute.”
“Why?”
“Do you really need to invite others to share? Let’s handle it quietly among ourselves.”
The man, who looked Gloria up and down, offered to taste her again.
“…That’s not bad?”
Soon, a sinister expression appeared on the other guards as well.
It looks like she is trying to release her accumulated desires through her.
Gloria felt disgusted by such gazes, but this was her chance.
To become a maid in the imperial palace, you are not evaluated solely on housework.
You can only be considered a maid of the imperial palace if you are able to handle everything from protecting important people to fighting people, and even assassinating people when necessary.
-Tduduk. Pop.
Gloria lightly broke her neck and waved her hand towards her guards.
“Okay. I’m going now, you b*tch!”
The guard fell for the provocation and rushed forward, extending the spear he was holding.
Hwiik.
She gracefully dodged the spear thrown at her by bending her waist and at the same time stood up and slashed the guard’s uvula with the blade of her outstretched hand.
“Ugh….”
The guard sways back and forth, unable to control his body, like a doll whose strings have been cut.
– Shake it off.
He immediately lost the spear and fell face first into the ground.
“Oh, this is crazy…!”
When the man saw his colleague being attacked, he got scared and reached for his whistle.
– Crunchy.
Suddenly, his arm was bent in a direction it shouldn’t have been.
“Kek, kegg!”
I wanted to scream from the pain of my broken bones, but no voice came out.
In the blink of an eye, the intruder was on his shoulder, pinning his neck firmly between his legs.
As the clouds cleared and the moonlight appeared, its appearance was clearly revealed.
The cold gaze of a woman looking down at her with a cold expression.
-Boom!
Soon, it seemed as if the world was turning upside down, and the dirt floor suddenly rose up and she rushed straight towards her.
“….”
Sigh. Okay.
Gloria stood up from her seat, pushing away the back of the man’s head, and took out her handkerchief and began wiping her inner thighs in disgust.
If she had used the knife on her thigh, she wouldn’t have had to make such unnecessary contact, but if there were casualties, it wouldn’t have been a simple theft.
‘Because I can’t cause trouble to my master.’
The management of the property was his own fault, but the murder was a clear crime that could cause the Knights Templar to come after them.
Poof.
Gloria looked at the two men lying with her face on the ground.
If you’re lucky, you’ll end up fainting, but if not, your mind will survive.
She patted her hand, saying that she just needed to stay alive anyway, and another guard who had come to change shifts caught her eye.
“Hey, that…”
“It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”
Her gaze, similar to the one before, passed over her own body.
‘It would be better for her to secure an escape route in advance before returning.’
-Too-duk-duk.
She relaxed her neck once again.
She kept repeating that she should not kill anyone even by mistake.
***
A clean, but narrow room for multiple people to live in.
The place was reminiscent of a modern chicken farm.
The bunk beds that were close together were even worse than those in the underdeveloped military, which was famous for its lack of humanity.
-Snap.
There was a small window with a hole in it, and a woman was applying her medicine to a girl who was smaller than her, relying on the moonlight that leaked in from there.
“Ugh….”
As the girl began to tremble, her hand that was applying the medicine stopped and the woman asked in a worried tone.
“Does it hurt a lot? Where are you? My sister will take care of you.”
“Sister… I’m so tired…”
When she realized that it was not a sob from pain, the woman’s face suddenly darkened.
“Is it really meaningful to live like this…?”
A life of being abused every day. Slavery was abolished more than a decade ago, but the situation for those there was slightly different.
They were taken as collateral because they could not repay the debt, and were officially hired to repay it.
There was a contract certified by the empire between them and their employer, the Marquis.
Of course, if the Knights found out that they had been abused, they would not remain silent, but those who took advantage of loopholes in the law existed wherever they went.
Furthermore, since their owner was a marquis, the knights would no longer be able to interfere if the contract was handed over to them, claiming that they did not know anything.
“But if you persevere, there will be good days.”
“Look at your body and say that!”
She tried to ignore reality and encourage her, but another girl who was handing her medicine next to her screamed at her.
“The wounds never heal because they always take the beating for us!”
The heads of countless girls surrounding her moved up and down as if sympathizing with her words.
“I’m fine…”
“What’s okay about being okay? What is this? What is this? Oh…!”
Because of his wounds, he couldn’t bear to hit him, and he seemed so helpless as he waved his hands in the air.
She knows too. No matter how much I say, that day will never come.
How would they have known what interest and principal were when they were young when they wrote the contract?
From the moment I signed, I was trapped in a vicious trap that I could not escape even if I worked my whole life.
“….”
A time when women could not come up with any answers.
“Ugh… I saw you standing guard in front of the door, so I came and looked, and it looks like it’s here too…”
“aaah!”
Someone appeared out of thin air along with a voice coming out of nowhere.
“Huh?”
“W-who are you…!”
The first impression revealed in the moonlight was very disillusioning.
The sight of her, seemingly oblivious to her embarrassment, with flashy pink hair and a dysfunctional mask, is truly….
‘Is he a pervert…? ?’
It reminded me of a person suffering from paraphilia who is anxious about not being able to reveal himself.
“What’s going on?”
The guards who had been guarding the door to prevent them from escaping probably heard the screams and burst into the room.
“Woah, there’s a suspicious person here…”
“A suspicious person?”
The guard who heard this looked into the room, but nothing came out.
“What about the suspicious person? He must have been so hit that he saw something for nothing.”
Now that I’m here, my eyes wander in all directions as if I’m just looking around.
As I passed by, I glanced at their defenseless outfits, but that was it.
If you touch the owner’s toy, his head may be cut off immediately.
And just like that, the guards leave.
‘Did I really see something wrong…? ?’
He wondered if it was because he had been beaten too many times, but that was not the case.
“Sister… I’m scared…”
Because I wasn’t the only one who saw that.
“Really, why are there so many annoying things here?”
As if that thought was correct, the intruder appeared again in the empty air.
“hehehe…!”
Her younger siblings gathered around her to see that terrifying sight.
“Ho, are you by any chance the Shinigami?”
I gathered courage and asked if my younger siblings might be harmed.
“Reaper?”
“To take us away…”
“What is that? Do you know where the treasure is? It’s a red shining jewel.”
From noble mtl dot com
Treasure? Did you come in for the owner’s property?
In response to Chloe’s question, the woman shook her head.
“We exist only to please our master.”
There is no way that they, who were hired solely to suffer, could approach such a place.
“I exist to please?”
Chloe’s head tilted as the words she had heard often recently came out of her mouth.
Gloria. No, because that was what her maid, now her Robin, always said.
“Then are you also maids?”
“Yes? Oh, yes.”
“Everything here?”
“Yes, but why…”
Then the pink pupils flashed for an instant.
Since ancient times, the greater the number of forces, the better. Doesn’t it seem like there’s no such thing as an organization with just two people?
“Hey… Why are you looking at us like that…?”
I automatically smiled at the green face that didn’t know anything.
This was around the time when she learned her skills from Ian.
-I can’t do this anymore… Chloe has no strength in her body….
-I can’t help it. Let’s stop here for today.
When I collapsed because I had used up all of my remaining mana, my teacher picked me up and carried me to my room.
The nibbling teacher who washed me and put me to bed when I couldn’t even lift a finger.
Actually, I was able to move from the moment I entered the bathroom.
Anyway, I asked the teacher who covered me with the blanket.
-But why is Master taking care of me like this?
-Why, that’s right….
-Perhaps he wants to mate with Chloe and make a lot of children… Hunyang!
-Anyway, since he accepted it, I took it easy.
You always say you don’t like it, but you stand firm. Hunks.
As I was rubbing my forehead, Master said.
-Should I say that when I see a newbie, I automatically reach out for it?
-Newbie? What is it?
-Is it too difficult for you? That’s why, there’s something I say every time I make fun of you.
This is what my teacher said every time he trained me.
That’s right….
“Assei.”
“Yes?”
Only then did she realize. She said that it wasn’t just jewelry that she was going to hit with Ginpai.
Sigh.
Chloe glanced at the women one by one and lowered her voice, remembering her teacher who was like a tiger beast during training.
“Voluntary enlistment is welcome, Assei.”
