[Ekaterina’s POV]
Jeez, the old hag was a much worse person after hearing about it directly from her subordinate.
I didn’t notice it because for the past month I’ve been living in the Duke’s mansion, I’ve been studying hard to get ready for the academy, and I’ve only been in contact with Mina, who was newly hired as my caretaker. But it seems that there are so strange people mixed in with the servants here. Especially the ones who once served near the old hag’s side.
It seems that if they fire people all at once, they’ll run out of staff, so they’re gradually firing and replacing them, but I guess so of them refuse to take over and keep holding on to their jobs.
“Miss, do you want to clean that up?”
“……”
I was at a loss for a response when Mina told plainly.
“No, don’t. Until we welco the royal family here, we’re going to need so manpower. Even if they are like that, the butler may have trouble if they are gone. I’ll talk to my brother afterwards and leave it to his judgnt.” (Ekaterina)
“I understand. And, miss, I’m not a demon.” (Mina)
Mina said this too matter-of-factly, and I smiled.
“Of course, Mina is not.”
“But my grandfather on my mother’s side was a demon.”
“……”
Again I was at a loss for words, but inwardly I was lightly convinced.
So, Mina was soone with demon blood in her veins.
That’s why she’s so strong that she can carry in her arms and walk around. I wonder if there are humanoid demons in this world, and if they have children with humans.
But when I think about it, since (in the ga) the Demon Dragon King does transform into a human and beco the target of the heroine’s love attack, I guess it’s only natural for there to be possible romance between demons and humans.
“I see, so you were like that, I didn’t know that. If you had ntioned it earlier and I forgot about it, I’m sorry.”
“I don’t think I told you about it. When the lady ca to the imperial capital, she suddenly collapsed, and thus I was not able to properly greet the lady.”
(E/N: Refer to Chapter 1-2. Ekaterina fell unconscious for three days.)
“Oh, that’s right.”
My mories of my previous life ca flooding in, and I had the mories and personalities of two people in my head. My head would hurt like crazy, and whenever I tried to move, it would instantly shut down, and I would lose consciousness. It took about three days for things to settle down, and I’m really glad.
“I’m not a demon, but I do have demon blood. So of them are like what you just said. Even in the duchy, they say that Yurimagna would never use soone like . Don’t you hate it, young lady?”
“No?”
Hmm, I don’t know, I don’t get the feeling that I hate Mina at all.
Maybe it’s because I read a lot of manga and novels with different species in my previous life. It’s a sha that people hate that kind of thing.
I an, if a stranger was a demon, I might be a little wary, but Mina has been taking care of for two months now, feeding , changing my clothes, doing everything. Just because her grandfather isn’t human doesn’t an she’s not a good thing.
“Oh my, I rember now. When my brother wasn’t by my side, I was thirsty but couldn’t move, so I was struggling in bed. That’s when you first helped up.” (Ekaterina)
She then continued.
“I rember how gentle and comforting your hands were as you helped up and gave a drink of water. When I talked to you, I was a little surprised by your blunt speech, but I didn’t mind because your hands were so gentle. I don’t think I could ever dislike Mina.”
