Why are you obsessed with your fake wife?

One bedroom was assigned to each of the maids close to the Marchioness’.

Considering that most maids used a six-person room, it was an exceptional special case.

First of all, the advantage was that they could sleep more comfortably.

When six people shared a room, noise was generated during the night.

But that day was different from usual. Lisa, awakened by the rustling noise next to her, managed to open her eyelids.

Looking around, she could barely see the sunlight coming through the window.

She didn’t think anyone would wake up so early.

The source of the rustling noise was the sound of her roommate, Aidyn, changing her clothes.

Lisa asked, rubbing her eyes.

“Um… Aidyn, you’re up early.”

“Yes, I woke up too early.”

Aidyn’s voice sounded somewhat hurried.

Was there a problem? Lisa woke up in an instant and jumped up.

“What’s the matter? You sleep a lot in the morning.”

“Sometimes I can get up early.”

Of course she could.

But if it was Aidyn she knew, she hesitated because Aidyn liked to lie in bed a little longer, and she was not the one to get up first and change her clothes in a hurry.

“Do you need to go somewhere? Why are you getting ready so early?”

“I’m just going to go to the dining hall and eat first. I’ll go first today. I’m starving.”

“Even if you go there early, they won’t be ready any time soon….”

Why was she in such a hurry? Lisa watched her friend’s with questioning eyes.

Aidyn, wearing her apron in a hurry, was stuffing her sleeping clothes into the cabinet.

Meanwhile, a pocket flowed down from her cramped cabinet, perhaps because she had touched something wrong.

Clack!

“Ah!”

The impact on the ground loosened the knot in the pocket. Something flashing through the open entrance poured down like a wave.

“……!”

Surprised, Aidyn bent down and picked up the spilled content.

But it had already spilled.

Lisa’s eyes became as big as a plate after seeing gold coins.

“Isn’t that… gold coins?”

“T-that’s right.”

“It looks like a lot? Where did you get all that?”

It was obvious that it was ridiculous to have that much money from a maid’s salary.

“Did you have side jobs? But you know we can’t do that, right? What’s going on? Tell me the truth. Huh? I’ll keep it a secret from other maids and the head maid.”

“It’s not a side job. B-Borrowed… I borrowed it.”

“You borrowed money? Why did you borrow it? From whom? For what?”

Lisa didn’t mean to pry, but she was really curious.

What did Aidyn borrow that money for, what kind of crazy rich man lent her such a large sum of money, how did she intend to pay off her debt, and so on…….

“Hey, tell me the truth. I won’t tell anyone. It’s a side job, right? What are friends for? Can you introduce me?”

“It’s not a side job. Anyway, I’ll go first. You should hurry up and get ready and come out, too.”

Instead of answering, however, Aidyn only locked the chest of her drawer firmly and left the bedroom.

Bang!

Lisa stared at the loud closed door with a crooked eye.

To be more precise, she looked at her friend who was obviously lying to her.

“A secret side job, it is.”

Didn’t people say that in front of money, friends didn’t exist?

Lisa thought they were the closest, but it might be her own misunderstanding.

The morning sleep fled away with her disappointment.

She scrambled out of bed and put on her maid’s uniform and apron.

Washing was all she had to do after breakfast and then she simply washed her face after that.

Walking slowly to the dining hall, the corridor was still quiet. Probably because it was still early.

It was the first time for Lisa to go to the dining hall early, as she always arrived late in a hurry because of her friend who slept in in the morning.

She asked, settling down at the table.

“Martha, is it your turn to eat today? Did Aidyn eat already?”

“Huh? Aidyn?”

A middle-aged maid called Martha tilted her head and replied.

“I haven’t seen her today? Come to think of it, why are you alone? You always come to eat with Aidyn.”

“She said she was hungry and left first. I saw her with my own eyes.”

“Really? That’s strange. I’ve been here the whole time, but I’ve never seen her….”

It was early, so only a few servants had arrived at the dining hall yet. If she had seen Aidyn, there was no way she didn’t remember.

Lisa asked again, wondering.

“She really didn’t come?”

“I don’t remember. Hazel! Did you see Aidyn come to eat today? You know, Madam’s attending maid!”

Then the answer came back from far away, saying, “I don’t think I saw her!”
