Jubelians tone made her doubt herself. It didnt seem like she was irritated or angry. rilyn stared at the beautiful lady with suspicion. When their eyes t, a brilliant smile blossod on Jubelians face like a flower.
Ah, and please prepare so bath products that will help
sleep. I am tired and want to go to bed early.
Y-yes. I will prepare lavender scented ones. Although she stuttered, she was able to compose herself and reply in ti.
Why is Lady Floyen suddenly acting like this? I cant get used to it
If anyone asked rilyn what she thought of the lady, she would say that Lady Floyen was an unfavorable person to serve without hesitation. Although she had never physically abused her maids, she had done plenty of psychological harm.
Ill be waiting for the bath then. Thank you.
Jubelian, who had finished their brief conversation with grace, walked past rilyn and entered her room. She had given her an encouraging remark rather than a spiteful one. rilyn glanced at the closed door, then staggered when her legs lost their strength.
rilyn! Are you okay?
Sella, an assistant maid, rushed towards her. rilyn refused her help.
Im fine. I will prepare a bath for Lady Floyen. Please prepare so clothes for her.
rilyn tried to calm herself after giving instructions to Sella.
I thought she would be angry Shes acting very strange today.
The Jubelian she knew would throw tantrums when she wasnt in a good mood, which would ruin everyone elses mood in turn.
Its as if shes beco a completely different person.
The mont she thought of this, goosebumps pricked her skin. rilyn struggled to compose herself.
Lets not think useless thoughts. I just need to do my job well.
Nevertheless, Jubelians smiling face continued to plague her.
Is it because she didnt seem energetic? I even felt sorry for her.
At this thought, rilyn let out a sigh and slapped herself in the face.
What am I thinking about? Wake up, rilyn.
She reminded herself to stay vigilant in front of the Lady.

Taking a bath was always an enjoyable experience. Useless thoughts would scatter the mont I soaked myself in warm, fragrant water. However, I was so tired from todays events that even a bath didnt seem appealing.
Should I just skip it?
I had been thinking about just going to sleep for a while now but quickly decided against it.
No, they must be doing their best to prepare it. I shouldnt change my mind at the last minute.
I felt sad after realizing that I had been so cruel to the maids. I wished I could start over from the beginning, but it was already too late. Even if I showed kindness to them now, they probably wouldnt think it was sincere.
Now that I decided to be a nice lady from now on, I continued to wait for my bath to be ready. Despite my determination, I couldnt stop yawning.
Im really about to pass out. What should I do?
After waiting for another five minutes, I began thinking about cancelling the bath. Just then, I heard a knock.
The bath is ready, Lady Floyen.
Alright.
I rose from my chair to go to the washroom. However, I was so sleepy that I kept resisting the urge to keep yawning. When I finally gave in, tears began to flow down my cheeks.
Ah, Im really, really sleepy. I dont think Ill be able to take a bath like this
I raised my hand to wipe my tears and heard a voice.
Lady Floyen!
rilyn was in the room watching
with astonishnt, which was quite an unusual look on her.
Oh no, did she just see
yawning?
I probably looked like a hippo with my mouth wide open.
Well, thats embarrassing.
I smiled as gracefully as possible while trying my best to keep my lips shut.
Sorry about that. Did I look bad?
Like a professional, rilyn didnt say anything about
yawning.
Are you okay? she rely asked with a careful tone.
Im just going to be honest with her since shes asking
like that.
I guess I really looked tired in her eyes since she asked
if I would be okay to take a bath. I decided to tell her the truth.
A few tears leaked from the corner of my eyes as I said, Im really tired, so Ill take the bath tomorrow. Could you change
into my sleepwear?
rilyn nodded silently and began helping
into my clothes. For so reason, she bore a sullen expression.
Maybe its because I made her prepare the bath for no reason.
I had heard sowhere before that its easier to see things from soones shoes if youve been in a similar situation before. Maybe it was because of what I had experienced at my part-ti jobs, but I felt sorry for rilyn who suffered all this ti under the previous Jubelian.
Its because Im very tired right now.
rilyns eyes widened at my excuse. She hurriedly lowered her head.
Its not a problem. Please rest.
She was probably still upset, despite pretending that everything was okay.
Thank you, rilyn.
Her legs seed to wobble for a second, but I was so tired that it mustve been an illusion. As soon as rilyn left the room, I collapsed on my bed.
Ah, did I really end things with Mikhail today?
I felt so happy that my body shook with laughter.
What a relief!
Although I felt sorry for rilyn who was probably upset by what I did tonight I had at least successfully broken up with Mikhail. Because of that, I could sleep soundly.
