I Raised an Obsessive Servant

Yurina had felt it before, but the man’s touch now seemed absolutely mesmerizing. But at the same time, something felt awkward, so Yurina quickly withdrew her hand.

Raynard silently stared at the empty hand for a moment and grabbed Yurina again, who was trying to loosen the bracelet.

“There is nothing strange about this. Of course, there are people who use this for ‘weird’ purposes, but…”

“You’d better keep quiet.”

“I need to go somewhere, but I think you will already be leaving for the tournament when I return. I will need to know where to reach you later. In any case, the bracelet doesn’t work while I am away, so the first thing I will arrive at is Villa Carthia in the Jenus Mountains.”

“And where are you going?”

Raynard laughed mischievously.

“It’s a secret.”

‘That’s what I’m thinking about, isn’t it?’

Yurina shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the doubts that had arisen.

Reynard, who she hasn’t seen in so long, now disappears while Yurina leaves the capital.

‘Why are you not with me, so that you are so…’

Yurina fiddled with the bracelet while sitting in the carriage on the way to the Jenus Mountains.

She waited for him to catch up with her along the way.

But he was nowhere to be seen until the next morning.

‘Nothing happened, did it?’

As Betsy and the other maids fussed around her, Yurina couldn’t shake her worries about Reynard.

She wouldn’t have worried if Ray had bothered to tell her what was going on. But he just disappeared, and there was no news.

Yurina, who was frowning and worried, suddenly cried out in pain in her neck.

“Ah!”

It was a loud, ear-piercing voice. It didn’t really hurt that much, but while she was stuck in her anxious thoughts, the sound burst out of its own.

However, the maids who didn’t know this fact looked at Yurina’s neck and became worried. In particular, Emily, who helped dress from Yurina’s right side, was now trembling with a pale face. Yurina looked at the emerald earrings she was holding and quickly noticed what had happened.

“I just scared… ”

It looks like her hand slipped off and scratched Yurina’s neck with a needle. Emily barely moved her lips, shuddering.

“Excuse me, my lady!”

“Get away.”

Betsy pushed Emily away and pressed a handkerchief over Yurina’s wound.

“What are you doing? Didn’t think to call the doctor?”

Under Betsy’s glare, Emily hurried out of the room. Betsy sighed, looking at Emily’s back.

“Milady, are you in a lot of pain?”

Yurina smiled and said:

“Not at all.”

“Don’t lie to me.”

“Why should I lie? It really doesn’t hurt.”

“It’s a lie.”

Betsy took the handkerchief away, looked at the wound, and became even more depressed. Yurina just smiled.

“This is really not true. However, I didn’t want to disturb Betsy once again, who every time starts to fuss, as if I were badly injured.

Yurina said mischievously while looking at Betsy:

“It hurts, but why is Betsy crying? You’d think it was Betsy who got hurt.”

“It’s because I’m upset. I get upset when a lady gets hurt.”

“Well, is it just a needle? I think Betsy is exaggerating.”

Suppressing the emotions coming from within, Betsy sobbed and said:

“I treasure my lady so much.”

Even though the situation was unpleasant, Yurina was in a good mood. It’s so nice that someone cares about you.

“But don’t scold Emily too hard. She must have been very surprised.”

“She will pay me for this.”

“She is still too young. She was just nervous, because such an incident happened before her eyes.”

Emily was the new maid at Carthia Mansion, and had only worked for six months. She was 16 years old, a year younger than Yurina.

Emily, who began working as a maid at the age of 12 to care for her sick mother and younger siblings, did a good job for a 16-year-old.

Marquis Carthia has been keeping an eye on her, and has recently appointed Emily as Yurina’s personal maid.

Yurina really liked Emily. She was fun and friendly and did a good job. So she, without hesitation, brought her to these hunting competitions, the first in her life.

Yurina wasn’t very angry with Emily. People are always wrong. And this wasn’t done on purpose, so she didn’t want Emily to be seriously punished.

However, unlike Yurina, Betsy couldn’t just put it out of her mind.

“Emily is no good for my lady.”

“You’re wrong. Emily has been doing a good job all this time.”

“I can’t leave things as they are. I’m going to teach her a lesson.”

As much as she cherished Emily, Yurina was forced to side with Betsy, who ended up being with her for several years.

“Don’t punish her too hard.”

“Yeah.”

Betsy quit while looking at Yurina’s wound.

“Is it that bad?”

“It’s not that serious… But the cut is already swollen. If you put on a dress, everyone will see this scratch, and Dave isn’t around. So what do we do?”
