Chapter 556: Evidence towards the Mystery?
Over the past two days, Lillian had walked by the door countless times, either for an errand or to get back to her room. Whenever she asked one of the servants what was in that room, they would always turn and leave.
She felt a sense of familiarity with what was behind the door, but she wasn’t sure why. And her necklace seemed to be hinting towards it as well, considering she had begun to trip over more often - especially in front of the mysterious room.
Lillian was very curious.
What was behind this door that would make her feel so... Familiar with it?
"What are you doing?"
And that was when she found out the reason why.
Lillian quickly turned her head to the right, finding a tall maid looking directly at her with arms folded.
The maid stood at a height of 5ft11, had dark hair that was tied into a bun with the help of steel hairpins, yellow eyes, and scars that were neatly hidden under her clothes; she also had a near-perfect posture that every highly-disciplined servant should have.
’Elara Voss...’
This maid who stood before her was someone she recognised very much. She was the person who had managed to win the role of attendant for the Roselle Heiress.
She was also a person of the 3rd Tier.
It was stated that she was a servant of the main estate, unable to leave her post unless asked. So... Why was she here, then?
Lillian quickly backed away from the doors and picked up the laundry basket before bowing, "Apologies, I had just assumed there was a guest in here that needed their laundry done. Do forgive me."
After saying that, Lillian walked away - thinking.
She looked back over her past errands outside. Whenever she needed to trim the trees or bushes, hang clothes, etc. She would pass by the garage of the estate, which was regularly being cleaned by other servants.
Standing outside, Lillian used her magic to trim a tree’s leaves.
She then took a sneaky glance back at the garage behind her, watching as the servants in the garage cleaned it out and wiped the vehicles down.
Every now and then, whenever she was tasked outside, she would catch a glimpse of the two vehicles.
The first was the limousine that she and the Gardener rode in, but the other... She wasn’t familiar with.
Lillian knew that the Roselles weren’t a group of people who were extremely interested in cars enough to keep a collection of them.
And she doubted the second vehicle was for the servants’ personal use, as anything they needed was either in the perimeter of the estate or was shipped here.
’Elara Voss is here instead of the main estate... She brings food for something for the room next to mine... And there’s another car...’
Putting the evidence together, Lillian came to the final conclusion that:
’There must be another Roselle here!’
While Lillian was deep in thought...
"Correct your posture!"
"Y-yes, sir!"
She was quickly reminded that she was in the middle of a lesson.
After finishing her task outside, Lillian was immediately put through another errand - specifically, a lesson.
A lesson on dancing.
Holding the wooden body of a living puppet close to her, Lillian spun slowly and danced in the centre of the ballroom, which she had cleaned two days ago.
While she was a bit rusty, there was one thing she had to thank past Lillian for; it was that she was someone who loved to dance - especially with other noblemen.
Because of that, she was around a stage above that of a beginner.
’Luckily, nothing went further than dancing with them... But I think I did have a few suitors...’ Lillian smiled wryly.
Now that she thought about it... Why was she having dancing lessons?! Was this not an assassin family? With all the lessons and errands she has been through, cleaning
was the only one Lillian thought made some sense.While holding a straining position, Lillian asked:
"May I ask... Why would I need to dance?"
"Dancing is a test of flexibility!" The Head Butler exclaimed, correcting Lillian’s posture, "A servant must be flexible with their work and adaptable to all situations to better serve their masters! You don’t want to disappoint the Heiress... Do you?"
"W-wait, alright fine..." Lillian groaned.
A couple of days ago, the Head Butler had figured out that if he mentioned anything regarding Marionette, Lillian would put in a tad bit more effort.
"Tch..." Lillian quietly clicked her tongue.
"What was that?" The Head Butler asked with a glare, causing Lillian to stiffen and smile nervously.
Afterwards, Lillian would be allowed to rest.
Lillian sighed, tired, as she walked through the corridor, gazing out the windows and at the black sky; the stars were out this night.
Patting down her uniform, Lillian slowly stopped in the middle of the corridor. She then turned her body to her left and stared at a pair of double doors.
Behind these doors leads to a chemist’s lab; the Gardener’s chemist lab, to be specific.
Over the past two days, Lillian had been coming over to the Gardener’s lab for a favour - she needed his help to create the medicine she had been planning to have created for Marionette.
In the game, to create a medicinal consumable, the player would need to be high enough level in the alchemy skill. Or, if they weren’t, they would need to seek the help of an alchemist.
Originally, she would seek the help of the Kirisaya Family’s alchemist, but unfortunately, she couldn’t due to an obvious reason. Thus, she had turned to the Gardener for assistance.
Although she did have to pay the price of around 100,000 Semis, she found the Gardener to be more and happy to assist her in the creation of the medicine.
Could be because the materials she gathered weren’t that easy to find...
Knocking on the door three times, Lillian watched as the door was opened by the Gardener, who was expecting her arrival.
"Are you here to check on the progress?"
