NOVEL NEXT I Ran Away And The Reverse Harem Started
“Why, you know Miriam so well, what makes you so sure?”“Huh?”She was taken aback.“Or are you the person who can stop her before she does anything?”I don’t think so, I muttered, and Angela’s face instantly flushed red.She’d been the one who’d tried to prick my conscience when Miriam had uncovered my secret, but she’d done nothing.‘I didn’t specifically mean to stab you.’I sighed as Angela hung down to her shoulders with a very dark expression on her face.“Just give me the information ahead. I will avoid it on my own. And there is no need to pretend to be friendly with me. I’m going to leave soon anyway.”“… Yeah, really?”“Yes. Then I will think about forgiveness.”“Thank you, really.”Angela looked at me with a blush-like face and smiled with a strange expression. She seemed relieved that I would accept her apology.I was about to sigh at the sight, but stopped myself.Instead, I turned to Angela.“So, the saint called for me?” * * * ‘What did Deborah call me for?’After putting away the cleaning supplies, I headed to the guest room on the third floor.
Or, more accurately, I was going to.I was about to climb the stairs to the third floor when Daniel, who was on the second floor, burst through the door.Daniel was wearing a white shirt and tight vest.His hair was a little disheveled, unlike usual, as if he had touched it.“Where are you going?”After making sure that no one was around, I stood at the stairwell and answered him.“3rd Floor. Because the saint called me.”“Her?”No matter how blind you are, it’s still called a saint or a saint like someone’s dog’s name…When I narrowed my eyes and looked at Daniel, he brushed his hair a few times in front of the door and motioned to me.“Don’t go.”“What?”“Don’t go to the saint.”“No, even if you are the landlord. The saint called me…”“Yes, I am your master now. Listen to me.”“But….”“I’ll give you some snacks, listen to me.”“…….?”Are you trying to trick me with snack?Who do you think I am?I cringed and tried to argue, but Daniel stormed up the stairs and grabbed my wrist.With his long legs, he walked right up to my nose in a matter of seconds.“Listen to me, don’t meet the saint.”“What the hell is wrong with you? I want to know why.”“I’ll tell you later…”“No matter what, I’m just a maid. How can I ignore her words?”While we were arguing and keeping our voices down on the stairwell, we could hear people talking from above.With the sound of rushing footsteps.“Saint, I will go with you.”“Thank you. But, there’s no need for that.”It was the voice of the maids at the mansion who assisted Deborah.And then a voice that presumably belonged to Deborah…
She was coming out of her room on the third floor, presumably heading somewhere.Just as I was about to open my mouth in panic, Daniel grabbed my wrist and quickly led me down to the second floor and into a random room.I realized too late that the room was Daniel’s room.The room, decorated with dark wooden furniture and a wine-colored theme, had a dark wood smell.“W-why are we running away…?”
“Shh.”As I looked at Daniel with a puzzled expression, he put his index finger in front of my mouth.Then he put his ear to the door for a moment and then led me in with a troubled look on his face.“Stay in here for a moment.”“Why me!”“I said I would give you snacks, just do me a favor.”“Do you want to get hit? Am I a kid?! Why are you talking about snacks from earlier?”Despite my struggles, Daniel easily led me to the closet.When he opened the closet in Daniel’s closet, I saw a bunch of underwear hanging there.As I was clinging to the closet door and refusing to go in, someone knocked.“Count, it’s me.”It was Deborah’s voice.I hung on the closet door like a cicada and whispered urgently.“Daniel, wait a moment. Don’t you know that it looks more suspicious here with me sneaking into your closet? I am the maid of this house! If we get caught, it could lead to even bigger misunderstandings!”Daniel also responded persistently.“As long as you don’t get caught, there’s nothing suspicious. I don’t want the saint to see your face, so go in quickly.”“I don’t want to!”“I will cancel your debt.”“…….”“…….”“Uh, how much?”Daniel clicked his tongue as I visibly flinched.“Whatever, you snob.”With that, he shoved me into the closet with an uncharacteristic impatience look on his face. As soon as he confirmed that I had entered the closet, he closed the closet door without acknowledging me.Thud.“Ugh!”Why the hell don’t you want me to meet the saint? I’m putting up with it because of the debt!
The door closed, and I crawled towards the closet door, muttering.There was a small gap in the closet door, and if you looked closely, you could clearly see what was going on in the room.When Daniel opened the door, a woman with a beautiful face could be seen walking in through a small gap.White skin and soft silver hair as if they had never been exposed to sunlight. She was dressed modestly, but her features were gorgeous.‘It’s Deborah!’You can see it at a glance. She was a beautiful person who was very worthy of the heroine title.Because it was my first time seeing a female protagonist, I felt a little unfamiliar.Daniel looked at her and asked stiffly.“Is there a problem?”“There is something I wish to speak with the Count.”“If that’s the case, we can go down to the living room…”“I want to talk alone, without the maids.”Deborah’s tone was soft, but she was blunt when she expressed her opinions.Daniel seemed to be worried, but obediently brought Deborah inside. It seemed like he knew what she was going to say.Deborah naturally sat down on the sofa and looked at Daniel, who was sitting across from her. Because Daniel was sitting with his back to me, I could only see Deborah’s face.Deborah asked, sitting up straight and staring at Daniel.“Have you thought about the suggestion I mentioned? The party is just around the corner.”Suggestion? A party?It’s summer and it’s social season, so parties will be happening all day and night everywhere. Did you two promise to go to the party together?As Deborah spoke directly, Daniel also clicked his tongue as if he had expected it.“This is absurd. It’s a party hosted by the king, and we’re bringing different partners. The king sent us an invitation to a party and ordered us to come together, and the party is not an event that the saintess can do as she pleases.”Daniel sighed. Then he asked why she was bringing up again the conversation they had had all the way to the Count’s residence.Daniel had a tone that he was tired of this topic, but Deborah persisted.“So, you’re saying you’re going to attend the party with me? You want to go to a party with me?”“…….”Daniel was silent for a moment.I guess he didn’t want to go to the party with Deborah either.I sat closer to the closet door and listened.“I don’t want to attend a party with a man who doesn’t love me and say hello to nobles that I don’t want to. I don’t want to sit still like a doll and kill the time.”Deborah said with a sigh.“Anyway, our marriage is already decided. Is it greed to want to be a little free until then? I just want to choose a partner according to my will, even before marriage.”“… It’s not about greed.”“Then, Count, please find a partner other than me to attend the party. I will too.”Deborah stared at Daniel with a slightly stiff face. Daniel’s expression didn’t seem to be much different.“By any chance, if it’s not rude, could you attend with her? the Count with…”“If you’re talking about that, please stop. Unless you’re trying to make fun of me.”“Oh my goodness.”Deborah, who had been frozen so far, let out a small laugh for the first time. Oh my god, It looked like a spring flower bursting into bloom.‘I don’t know what we’re talking about, but he’s got a way with a pretty girl like that.’Anyway, he was the male lead.If I were a man, I would bow every three steps from the moment the topic of marrying Deborah came up, be it an arranged marriage or anything else.“Then please think about it first. There is some time until the party. Wouldn’t this be a good opportunity for the Count? With Her…”“I guess you’re having fun making fun of me now.”“Although we were pushed around by His Majesty the King, we should have had more face-to-face conversations.”“…….”“But every time the story about ‘her’ comes up, you get so shocked like a boy, how can I not make fun of you?”Deborah said cheerfully. It was fascinating how a pretty girl could be so eloquent.Daniel also shook his head as if he couldn’t stand her.“… Don’t expect too much. Because there is a higher chance that things will not go as the saintess wants.”“Please don’t be too sure.”Deborah said with a faint smile.The two seemed to be planning something, but they stood up together as if the conversation was over.‘Ah, they’re leaving now.’I massaged my legs, which were numb from being crumpled in the closet.I might as well sweep the stairs if I’m going to skip maid duty like this.Deborah stood up and headed for the door, but she wobbled hard.“Oh.”Deborah was about to fall because the hem of her dress was stepped on by the tip of her shoe.
Chapter 16
Chapter 16 She said she hasn’t been able to sleep since I walked into the room like that last night because it bothered her. She felt that she had hurt me.‘If you feel that way, you can talk about it in the morning at the dorm.’During the relatively leisurely hours of the morning, I had never seen Angela before. Of course, she may have been particularly busy this morning.“Will you please forgive me?”Before I knew it, she had narrowed the distance, pretending to be friendly.Actually, I’m not that toxic.It’s not like I had the blinkers on to tell her to get in your face on after she apologized.‘Besides, we’re coworkers.’Well, of course I’ll be leaving soon.But even though it was true that my heart had weakened, I had no intention of forgiving Angela right away. But I also won’t be rude and throw people away.I looked at her with a grim face and said.“I know you’re sorry, but I don’t have to forgive you right now, do I?”“O-of course. I’m not asking you to make it easier on me, I just really want to apologize…”“Okay, I’ll take your apology for now, forgiveness can come later.”“Thank you!”“But in return, if Miriam’s group tries to trouble me again in the future, please come secretly and tell me.”“That will never happen again. don’t worry.”
“Why, you know Miriam so well, what makes you so sure?”“Huh?”She was taken aback.“Or are you the person who can stop her before she does anything?”I don’t think so, I muttered, and Angela’s face instantly flushed red.She’d been the one who’d tried to prick my conscience when Miriam had uncovered my secret, but she’d done nothing.‘I didn’t specifically mean to stab you.’I sighed as Angela hung down to her shoulders with a very dark expression on her face.“Just give me the information ahead.
