Prologue
To My Dear Adele Bryce, Head Maid of the Duke of Laperion. Hello, Miss Adele. There’s a lot I have to talk to you about, but it is better reserved for when we get to sit down and have a cup of tea together. Anyway, the reason I’m writing you this letter is because I’m wondering if you’re still looking for a maid. I’m inquiring only because you previously wrote to me, troubled about the shortage of hands you have there in the Duke’s estate. As you know, the situation here in Freyback has become worse recently. Then, I look forward to hearing from you. – From your friend, Keila Ronen. PS, is the Duke of Laperion still out? |
To My Dear Keila Ronen, the head maid of Count Freyback. It was very pleasant to hear from you after so long. I wonder how you’ve been since we last met in the capital. Thank you for the news of the capital. Whatever it is, it’s fortunate that the hideous atmosphere has subsided. Anyway, thank you for remembering my complaint and your help. We’re very short-staffed here in the Duchy, so I can’t even begin to tell you how pleased everyone was with your suggestion. There’s really no one coming to work in this harsh, cold northern land. Just in time, the Duke had asked me to bring in a new maid. I was really troubled because of the request. If it’s a child you recommend, Keila, then she must have proved herself. Thank goodness. I’m going to report it to the butler right away, so I’d appreciate it if you could tell me when the maid will arrive. Then, stay healthy. – With thanks, from Adele Bryce. PS, The Duke has recently returned. PS 2, I heard they are looking for a maid at Viscount Evolton’s manor in the south. Why don’t you check them out? |
To My Dear Adele Bryce, Head Maid of The Duke of Laperion. Hello, Miss Adele. Then, I’ll contact you again. – With all due respect, from Keila Ronen. |
To My Dear Keila Ronen, the head maid of Count Freyback. Greetings, Keila. Thank you. – With thanks, from Adele Bryce. |

To My Dear Keila Ronen, the head maid of Count Freyback. Hello, Keila. How are you doing in the capital? The reason I’m writing this letter to you is because I wish to ask you a question about the young maid you sent me last time. Do you remember the maid for whom you wrote a letter of recommendation to me three months ago? She’s a young girl with light violet hair called Ashlyn. I didn’t know until now because the Duke had told me that the new maids were to be given basic tasks. Then, when the duke left for business a month ago, I had her take some more chores. Isn’t this child, Ashlyn, not used to the work of a maid at all? Well then, have a nice day. – Awaiting your reply, Adele Bryce. |
To Keila Ronen, the head maid of Count Freyback. Do you remember the maid you sent to us seven months ago? Her quality of work wasn’t good to begin with, but now she can’t even seem to open her eyes properly because of a fever of unknown causes. Honestly, I’m very worried because things keep happening related to this maid recommended by Keila. Please reply as soon as possible. – From Adele Bryce. |
To Keila Ronen, the head maid of Count Freyback. Keila, please reply. Please reply as soon as you can. – From Adele Bryce. |
To Keila Ronen, the head maid of Count Freyback. Keila? Please reply at your earliest convenience. – From Adele Bryce. |
To Keila Ronen. Keila, please reply if you’re reading this. – Adele Bryce |
Keila Ronen, If you don’t reply to this letter, I’ll chase after you to the end of the continent and make you take responsibility for this. |
