[Dear Lady Yerine Ephritte Spade]
We appoint you to be the housekeeper among the 7 Imperial Families.
We would like to proceed with the appointnt ceremony, so please dress up in the robes we sent you and co to the Sacred Hall of Noble State Field by 7 a.m. on November 29, 961.
-The Duke of Riktuaniscroart Ace, the representative of the Conference of Seven Family.]
“Wow….”
I read the letter again and again, but I still couldn’t take my eyes off from it.
It was like a dream to finally be appointed as a Housekeeper.
‘It’s really coming as the Duke of Ale Club said.’
When I visited the Ale Club Dukedom after my break free from the influence of the Postade family, she called and told that she had so far been unable to et because of the Postade’s interference.
Apparently, as the head of the allied family, she regularly sent letters and carriages to the Spades but failed to et .
Nevertheless, she said she was sorry for not fulfilling her duties as an allied family, and expressed her intention to actively help to beco a family mber of the 7 Imperial Family from now on.
I agreed to her proposal, and accordingly, she was sending a regular docunt outlining the procedures for the appointnt of a Housekeeper, the suspension system of the imperial palace, and the characteristics of each territory.
“But it’s 7:00 a.m., the Housekeepers aren’t even asleep.”
I can’t believe a eting that functions as a small council is held at this early hour.
It’s even held in the capital city.
‘It’s a treatnt that doesn’t care about people who co from Jacqueline or Diamond Territories…….’
Thinking so, I picked up a cape that was finely folded in the chest.
“Oh, this is really cool.”
The robe ntioned in the letter seed to point to this.
The insignia was red, so I was worried if the clothes were that colour, but fortunately, it was made of luxurious velvet, which is closer to purple.
Not only the white fur decoration, but also the brooch with the gold string around the shoulder and the emblem of the spade family were all gorgeous, but it was not too much.
“There’s a dedicated quill pen, ink, stationery, a eting recorder, and a ring. What’s this, a pocket watch for communication?”
I rummage endlessly through the chest where things ca out with an excited hand.
‘This looks like a set of goods.’
Given the fact that they produced all the goods so far, the influence and solidarity of the 7 Imperial Family etings seed to be quite great.
As soon as I had taken out all the stuff in the box, the letter that had excited again caught my eye.
“Nov. 29….”
With the date written on the letter paper quietly in my mouth, I was frozen by the thought of passing through my head.
‘Wait, the school foundation day banquet was on November 28.’
The banquet did not end until after twelve o’clock.
In other words, the appointnt ceremony was today.
In the hope of denying the reality, I took out a watch in the box, but the clock indicated 1:14 a.m. on November 29.
“No, they don’t have any conscience giving 24 hours until the appointnt.”
It wasn’t even possible to co back after finishing the appointnt ceremony there.
As far as I know, as soon as the appointnt ceremony is over, a family eting is held, and the newly appointed family mber must also attend.
I was already relegated to seventh place from among the 7 Imperial Family, and if I speak for the first ti outside the eting conference, I will not be able to rise to the rank forever.
That is why I intended to be fully prepared before I was appointed.
However, as if I broke down my goal, I was asked to co to the ceremony in about six hours.
I got out of bed right away and headed to the desk.
‘I can do it. I am Korean. I am the one who makes the impossible possible.’
I couldn’t even take off my dress and poured Rall’s special nutritional supplent into my throat and began to write a statent of reasons for my absence.
***
It was difficult to tell anyone that I was going to be appointed because of the words on the insignia of the chest.
I was worried that there might be soone who asked after seeing get out of the academy in a carriage.
Fortunately, it was 5 a.m., so no one could see .
By the ti I got out of the Academy and headed for town, I was almost dead.
After finishing writing the reason for absence, I felt like my eyes were going to fall out from reviewing all the docunts sent by the Duke of Ale Club.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t sleep easily because of the tension, and my heart kept pounding and I felt more tired.
‘All the Ropan aristocrats I know play and eat and sotis act smart in the middle of it……..’
Having been living in Korea with no place to follow due to over 20 years of mad overwork and tight schedules, the 7 family mbers must not be ordinary nobles.
Well, it was natural that their leader, Eugene’s father, was not a normal person.
“But still.”
Mumbling, I picked up another bottle of special nutritional supplents I had brought in my pocket and poured them into my mouth.
Thinking that if I don’t drink this, I might really faint, so I forgot the bitter taste and inhaled it like water.
“Is it okay….”
I prepared enough, but I was worried because it was impossible to predict exactly what was going to happen.
‘No, let’s not be too impatient.’
I thought, looking at the dawn sky visible through the window of the carriage.
Nothing could be heard except the clattering sound of a horseshoe hitting the ground.
Looking at the stars flickering sky in the quiet carriage, I suddenly felt relaxed.
It was more important to gain experience slowly than to try to be good at everything from the beginning.
As the thought reached that point, the eyelids began to co down heavily.
‘The horseman will wake up anyway when we get there, so maybe a little bit.’
I closed my eyes quietly thinking so, and within a few minutes, I quickly fell asleep.
***
Noble State Field, the site of the Imperial Palace, accessible only to Housekeepers of the 7 Imperial Families.
Taking advantage of the dawn, a total of seven carriages had passed through the entrance of the field, and seven Housekeepers had entered the site for the appointnt ceremony and eting conference.
But sohow, at 7:05 morning, there were only six people in the Tirayya Stand Grand Room.
“Why isn’t she coming? It’s already been five minutes.”
The Duke of Leonhart, clad in a red cape, opened his mouth with a slightly irritated voice.
The red-haired Duke Jacqueline, looking at the figure, bowed his head and whispered to the Duke of the Ale Club carefully.
“Isn’t it possible that she didn’t get in touch properly?”
The Duke of the Ale Club, who bit her lip at his words, sighed and touched her forehead.
“I think it’s my fault. I didn’t know that the Duke of Ace is doing everything.”
Her beautiful green eyes, with a sharp glow, were directed at the Duke of Ace.
“When he said he’d change the eting place 30 minutes before the appointnt, I protested, but it didn’t work. I was relieved that the letter of appointnt seed to have been sent properly, but I shouldn’t have.”
The Noble State field was very wide, and it took 30 to 40 minutes to move from one building to another.
As it was Yerine’s first visit here, there was a possibility that she would get lost and not be able to co back properly if the venue was suddenly changed.
“Isn’t there a sudden decision on the appointnt itself? He decided to make a sudden appointnt at 11 pm and co out by 7 am the next morning.”
“That’s right. I’ve sent her so docunts regularly to help with the family eting, but I’m worried that won’t be enough. If I had known this would happen, I should have told her more.”
At the worried words of the Duke of Ale Club, Duke Jacqueline shook his head to the point where his beard shook.
“No, Duke. You had tried hard enough. And I think she made a little mistake now because of the situation, but when I heard about her, she was smart. Don’t worry too much because she’ll probably do well.”
In the anti, the minute hand was pointing at 2.
Little by little, other Housekeepers seed to have noticed sothing had happened.
“Mr Trump, can I ask you sothing?”
The Duke of Joker, who has a lot of light-blue hair similar to bubble gum, smiled and raised his hand.
At his words, the Duke of Ace raised his sharp blue eyes, and the whole room turned cold.
Except for Duke Joker, the only one who hasn’t lost his smile.
The Duke of Ace raised his head at him, and the Duke of Joker answered with a smile, with his fingers crossed.
“Maybe the next Duke of Spade is wandering around to find the place and that’s made her late? What do you think of delaying the appointnt a little until we find her?”
At his words, the Duke of Ace answered in a frightfully cold voice.
“It is my fault as the leader of the seven families doesn’t even consider that degree. It is irrational for the rest to sacrifice for the mistakes made by the next Duke of Spades.”
“Ha-ha, as always, you’re saying the sa thing. But isn’t there another possibility?”
The Duke of Joker answered one by one with a still smiling face.
“For example, the possibility that the eting place has been changed has not been properly delivered.”
The Duke of Joker was smiling broadly, but everyone in the venue knew that not only his eyes were smiling.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
“Well, I just said that. I don’t think Trump made that mistake.”
The Duke of Jokers did not stop talking with bones until the end. After he closed his mouth, the eting conference venue was surrounded by silence.
But just then, there was a knock on the venue’s door.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the heavy door. The Duke of Ace imdiately crumpled his face and said in a voice that seed to cool off the blood all over his body.
“I would have told you not to let anyone approach but the Housekeepers. What the hell is going on?”
As soon as his words were finished, the door opened, and a purple-haired girl wrapped in a purple cape entered the hall.
Behind her was a man with red hair and gold eyes.
“The Crown Prince……?”
Following Yerine into the eting venue, Iker glanced down at the Housekeepers, squinting his golden eyes like a beast.
