His Highness’ Secret Accountant

ked who the Young Lady is. ”

”Ah… I… That… ”

”Watch your language.
Miss Lily.
It is your first time today so I will let it go, but there won ’t be a second time. ”

”Yes… I ’m sorry. ”

Lily spoke at Rose ’s fierce eyes, intimidated.

Looking at them, Ayla nodded her head at Lily, who formed the words ‘I ’m sorry. ’ in her mouth, meaning it was alright.

Rose ’s fierce eyes were now facing Ayla, not Lily.

‘Now I am dead. ’

Contrary to expectations, Rose did not talk about it and only let out a sigh.

”It seems like you already met Miss Lily, so I won ’t introduce you.
From tomorrow, Miss Ayla will take care of all the baths, cleaning, and laundry that Grand Duke Owen Arrot will use. ”

”Yes.
I understand. ”

”Miss Lily, help Miss Ayla do her best so that Grand Duke Arrot is not uncomfortable. ”

”Yes! Head Maid!! ”

The intimidated Lily from a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.

It seems that Lily has an aptitude for working as a maid.

”Lastly, Miss Ayla. ”

”Yes.
Please speak, Head Maid. ”

”Don ’t get too close to the Royal Family.
This is my advice as an adult. ”

***

Unlike Ayla, who has been busy since early morning, Lily had not yet awakened from dreamland.

Not wanting to wake up Lily, sleeping deeply, Ayla carefully sneaked out of the room.

”Where are you going? Like a stray cat? ”

”Oh my!!! ”

The voice coming from behind her almost made her heart drop.

When she turned her head, there was an unpleasant face.

”Greetings.
Your Highness. ”

”I think I asked where you were going? ”

”That… I am going to get the bath ready.
Haha. ”

Suppressing the desire to ask back ‘Why are you in front of the maid ’s quarters in the morning. ’, she forced a smile at Theon.

”Where? ”

”Grand Duke Arrot ’s residence. ”

”… ”

”Then, I… Can I go now? Haha.
I must go there before the Grand Duke awakens… ”

”But I ’m superior? ”

”What?! But, um… I ’m in charge of… ”

Looking at Ayla ’s obviously flustered appearance, Theon raised one corner of his mouth.

Soon he stretched his hand and waved it up and down with a smile, meaning she could go.

Ayla, who did not miss Theon ’s gesture, bowed lightly.

Shortly after, she left the maid ’s quarters at a quick pace.

”Phew.
What was that, suddenly appearing… Why was he there in the morning. ”
