When the news of William's imminent hanging, in the spring of the following year, reached Chadsworth Manor, the Countess fell to the ground in a dark spot, and Earl Clovis was also gloomy.

When the countess woke up, she took Count Clovis's hand and cried: "Robert, you must save William, you go and beg His Royal Highness, the Marquis of Ferdinand was not killed by William at all, it was Siper!" ”

"Don't say that again!" Instead of comforting her as before, Count Clovis coldly rebuked, "Siperl is now the king's mistress. ”

What he feared was that Siperl had indeed killed the Marquis Ferdinand, and that His Royal Highness was shielding Siper.

If this is the case, William is a substitute for the dead, and the king will not care if William killed the Marquis Ferdinand.

"Then do you want to beg Siperel to talk to William?"

After being reprimanded by Count Clovis, the Countess did not care to cry, but looked at him cautiously.

Count Clovis looked at her thoughtfully, raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, and looked at her tenderly.

"Mary, Siperl left in a hurry, the valet forgot to bring it, you and Claurel go to Keane to see her, and help me bring a small gift by the way."

The winters in the Norton Empire are always long, and when he has nothing to do, he always likes to put a blanket on his knees and sit by the fireplace to read. The melting fire baked the whole room as warm as spring, and the laziness in her bones also appeared, if there was really nothing to do, she would never go out.

Occasionally, though, she would put on her hat and cloak and walk out of the house to jewellery and tailor shops.

In the blink of an eye, she had been living in Keane for half a month.

"Mom, look at her, she's out again." A woman in a gorgeous Crenolin dress lifted the curtains, saw Maki in a cloak, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Sweet, who was smoking a cigar.

Mrs. Sweet lazily walked to the window, and for a moment her eyes fixed on Maki who had stopped a public carriage downstairs.

"My little darling, it's so cute."

"Mom doesn't think so?" Luna didn't say the rest of the story, but the women in the room understood what she meant.

At this time, a woman with a cold expression put down the book she was reading, walked to the window to take a look, and said lightly: "Her temperament is different from ours, it is estimated that she is a noble lady, mother should give up." ”

"Catherine, you're not right, you're all good daughters of mine, and no one has the same temperament, isn't it, Luna?" Mrs. Sweet smiled and took a drag on her cigar.

Luna nodded, Mrs. Sweet was telling the truth, there were several of them, some noble, some pure, some delicate, some gentle, and some sacrosanct.

"Even if she is a noble lady, she is a down-and-out noble lady, otherwise why don't you even have a servant."

Mrs. Sweet gave Luna an approving look, and she smiled as she pulled the cigar off her lips, "Maybe we're going to have a new member." ”

The girl she wants, there is nothing she can't get, even Catherine, who was the most stubborn at the beginning, isn't she still obedient now?

When Maki came back from the jewelry store and was about to make dinner, there was a knock on the door, and she wondered a little, who could it be when she came to Keane, she didn't know anyone, and Ulysses never walked through the front door?

Just as she was thinking, she opened the door and saw a delicate-looking lady standing outside.

"Hello, my name is Luna, I live next door, we don't have butter, can I borrow some from you?"

This is what Ulysses calls Madame's "daughter", and if she hadn't known in advance, Luna's conversation and temperament make it hard to imagine that she is a maid.

"Wait a minute." Ying Qi has no feelings for them, what kind of profession does it have to do with her.

She turned around and went to the kitchen to get butter and handed it to Luna, who smiled sweetly, "Thank you, what's your name?" ”

"You can call me Sipel."

After Luna leaves with butter, Maki closes the door.

After a while, there was another knock on the door, this time it was a middle-aged lady, although she was old, but her appearance was much more gorgeous than that of many ladies.

"Hello, I'm Mrs. Sweet, I'm really sorry to bother you again, I just asked Luna to buy butter, but I didn't expect her to come to you to borrow it, I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

Mrs. Sweet handed over a basket containing a few freshly baked breads and a whole piece of butter.

"It's okay, you don't have to make a trip." Unable to resist Mrs. Sweet's kindness, she had to accept her things, "Thank you for your things." ”

"You can come to my house to play when you have time, my daughters are the same age as you, and there should be a lot of topics to talk about." Mrs. Sweet smiled softly.

Ying Qi bowed slightly, and said lightly: "Okay, I'll go when I'm free." ”

Maki originally thought that Mrs. Sweet was just a few polite words, but she didn't expect Luna to actually come over the next day.

"I heard from my mother that you would come and play, but I waited all morning and didn't wait for you, so I came over to see if you were busy."

Seeing Luna's smile light, Maki Qi had no choice but to put down the book in his hand.

In fact, she doesn't have any bad feelings about the maid, in her opinion, if you can make a living without trading your body, no one will want to sell your body.

On the contrary, she actually pities Luna more than some of the nobles who are lazy and hard-working.

Luna invites Maki to her house and calls out her sisters, who sit on the couch laughing and chatting.

Maki Qi noticed that there was a girl who had always looked very cold, it seemed that her name was Catherine, she entered the door from Maki Qi, only looked back once, and the rest of the time she was reading a book, her temperament was incompatible with here, if it wasn't for the compulsion of life, she would definitely not be here.

Luna saw that Maki was looking at Catherine thoughtfully, thinking that she was unhappy because of Catherine's coldness, so she hurriedly played a round: "Catherine, didn't you pick up a few interesting gadgets from Bill at the foot of the slope before?" Take it out and show it to Sipel. ”

Catherine slowly put down the book, and glanced at Maki Qi with a faint look in her eyes: "You go with me to get it." ”

Luna was a little upset: "Sipel is a guest, how can you let her go." ”

"It's fine." Maki didn't care about this, she was a little surprised that Catherine looked at her just now, as if she wanted to tell her something.

She and Catherine went upstairs together, without saying a word, and when they arrived at Catherine's room, when the door was closed, Catherine lowered her head and whispered, "Get out of here quickly, this is not the place for you to come." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Mrs. Sweet stood in the door with a smile: "Catherine, you are so ignorant, how can you let the guest come and pick up your things in person?" ”
