Chapter 14 – The Royal Maid Can’t Sleep
I am a maid that serves in the royal castle .
Just by working at the royal castle, I can earn an enormous salary with my own hands .
However, I am still just someone with a low position . If I was to speak of what I do at the royal castle, I clean, do laundry, and other miscellaneous jobs .
As I was leaving my post to go on my break, certain conversation made its way into my ears .
“ . . . well let us put aside talk of work for now . Right now, I would like to ask for an answer regarding that matter . . . you know . . . ” (Raul)
Was that voice Count Raul-Nizzet-sama?
He was a really gentle person who was always smiling .
However, those words just now . . . I felt that they had a serious tone .
“If it’s about that, I cannot wish for more than that . . . However, I asked Jake-kun about it and he seemed to feel uneasy about it . ”
I almost shrieked because of the next voice I heard .
It was Duke Grid-Ractos-sama, a man rumoured to be an evil administrator .
I knew that the two of the had the positions of administrator and administrative advisor .
Thinking about their positions, I didn’t think that they would have a discussion about such a seemingly complicated matter between them in this manner .
“No need to worry about that . After all, we also understand Jake-kun’s circumstances . Honestly, our house is also having quite a bit of trouble as well . ”
The name of the Duke’s son Jake-sama comes out of the mouths of both Ractos-sama and Nizzet-sama .
“That matter”,“Duke Ractos”,“Jake-sama”,
And then Nizzet-sama’s remark brimming with seriousness .
No way, no way!
That rumour, the rumour that Duke Ractos is planning to overthrow the current king . . .
It’s true and even Nizzet-sama is participating in his plan!
Hhaven’t I just heard something incredible!
As I thought that, Nizzet-sama’s usual gentle smile gave off the feeling he was hiding an ulterior motive .
“Certainly, it is better to do this as quickly as possible . If this keeps up, it will be bad for both of us . ” (Grid)
A . . . aaa . . . as quickly as possible!
No way! Has their coup already progressed to such an extent?
What should I do!
“Well then, the date will be fixed on . . . ”
. . . That’s right! I have to tell them! I need to inform the prime minister and His Majesty of this important thing .
I strain my ears as they are about to talk about the fixed day .
I have to listen more to this piece of information . . . !
“Excuse me . Father, Count Nizzet . ” (Jake)
A male voice suddenly cut into their conversation .
Thi, this voice is . . . !
“Jake, for you to come to the royal castle . . . has something happened?”
It was Jake-Ractos-sama as expected, the Ractos household’s first son . Someone who has dark rumours lingering around him .
[Incarnation of the Devil Snake]
I gasped .
“Well, there’s nothing that important . I also heard the two of you talking here . By the way . . . eavesdropping isn’t good you know?” (Jake)
A feeling that felt like there was something holding tightly onto my heart snatched the heat away from my body .
The fact that I heard this conversation was noticed .
I, I will get killed! I have to run away!
Fortunately, I was able to escape safely .
No . Perhaps, they just allowed me to escape .
After all, someone like me can be easily erased .
I can’t tell anyone that I’ve obtained an amazing piece of information regarding a plan to usurp the current king .
The moment I tell this to anyone, I will be killed for sure .
By any chance, it will not be just me . They will kill my family as well . We will all be murdered .
I am deeply sorry Your Majesty .
For me, my own life and that of my family’s is more important to me than the kingdom .
That day I couldn’t even close my eyes to sleep .
