Chapter 1
My life as an ordinary office worker suddenly changed.
It started about three weeks ago. I was suddenly hit by a truck on the way ho from work. And when I opened my eyes, I beca a noble.
I realized it when the maids called “Lady Riddel”.
This was when I realized I was in soone else’s body right now. However, the problem was that the na “Riddel Spencer”, no matter how I thought about it, seed quite familiar to .
Weirdly enough, nothing ca to mind.
I tried to adapt myself to this body and find a way to go back, after all, knowing yourself and your enemy was the best way to go about it.
As ti passed, I found my first problem in this life.
It was about the maids’ attitude. They seed to have terrible manners towards , it even made think that I wasn’t a real aristocrat for a mont.
Fortunately, I was a true and bonafide aristocrat. However, this didn’t explain why the maids’ attitude were terrible towards .
They wouldn’t bring the al on ti, which was one of the basic things they had to do. And as I’ve noticed, my als were slowly getting worse.
I let this matter pass for a while. This was since I didn’t really have ti to worry about stuff like these, I was too busy adjusting to my new body. I didn’t really think that I would’ve left it like that.
However, sooner or later, they actually brought rotten food!
‘How do I change this?’
As I thought about this, a maid abruptly opened the door without knocking first.
“Miss, your al is ready.”
As usual, the maid placed it on my table without a tiny bit of care. The soup even spilled a bit due to the excessive force she applied while putting it down.
The al that was served on the table was hard bread which wasn’t fit for consumption and cold soup. The al today seed even worse than yesterday’s.
‘I think it’s spoiled food…’
The mont I stared at the maid’s face, I noticed sothing different. It seed like her appearance was better, maybe it was because she spent my food’s allowance for it.
‘This maid… What was her na again?’ A vain smile appeared on my face.
“Wendy, I can’t eat this. Please send it back.”
The maid, Wendy, looked quite shocked upon hearing what I said, she was speechless for a mont. And then, she brazenly answered back, “Miss, you have to eat your al.”
This was the exact answer I expected.
“I see.” The smile on my face didn’t budge even a tiny bit..
“Yes, Miss. Don’t complain and…”
“Then, you eat it.”
“Exc–?”
“You can eat it first.”
Wendy flinched back when the smile disappeared from my face. She looked quite flustered.
“Miss, what do you an…”
“Stop talking! Do you want to feed you? I’ll repeat my words, you can either eat this… or bring the ledger to .”
I was actually quite curious about how much the maid had taken from my food allowance.
When the maid heard this, color visibly drained from her face.
‘A re maid had the nerve to take away a noble’s money?’
I ordered her because I didn’t think this was sothing I could just let go, she even answered just like how I predicted her to.
‘All right. I got her now.’ I smiled at her.
“Choose.”
“I’m sorry, miss…”
“No, I don’t need an apology. Decide between the two choices.”
“Miss…”
“You can either eat this or bring the ledger.”
With that said, Wendy reluctantly picked up the spoon, hesitation filled her face.
‘You must’ve taken a lot of money’
Wendy’s face turned pale as the food entered her mouth. As expected, it really was rotten food. The maid glanced at , it seed she was waiting for to order her to stop eating.
She really did act as I predicted.
“You need to eat everything if you don’t want to bring in the ledger. Do you understand?”
“I.. I was wrong, miss.”
Wendy cried and begged, however, I simply stayed still until she finished eating.
‘This is why you should have done a good job while I was still amicable.’

A week passed since the incident.
Only
Ever since that day, a rumor began to circulate around . This seed to be the reason why no maids have been rude to lately.
On the contrary, they even started treating nicely. They even started to bring proper als and clean my room. This was the perfect situation.
I didn’t fire the previous maid. For soone like , who hadn’t figured out exactly what this world was, it was more beneficial that there was a reminder for the others to stay in their right places.
As I sat in the rocking chair on a lovely afternoon, the warm sun poured down from the window.
‘The weather’s nice. I want to go outside.’
“Can you prepare for to go out?” I asked Wendy who was beside .
However, after hearing what I said, Wendy’s face darkened. She began to glance and read my face.
“Miss, I don’t think you can go out.”
