Evil-like Duke Household

Chapter 14

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 its 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 didnt 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-kuns circumstances. Honestly, our house is also having quite a bit of trouble as well.

The name of the Dukes son Jake-sama comes out of the mouths of both Ractos-sama and Nizzet-sama.

That matter,Duke Ractos,Jake-sama,

And then Nizzet-samas remark brimming with seriousness.

No way, no way!

That rumour, the rumour that Duke Ractos is planning to overthrow the current king . . .

Its true and even Nizzet-sama is participating in his plan!

Ha-havent I just heard something incredible!

As I thought that, Nizzet-samas usual gentle smile gave off the feeling he was hiding an ulterior motive.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

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 . . .

. . . Thats 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 households first son. Someone who has dark rumours lingering around him.

[Incarnation of the Devil Snake]

I gasped.

Well, theres nothing that important. I also heard the two of you talking here. By the way . . . eavesdropping isnt 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 cant tell anyone that Ive 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 familys is more important to me than the kingdom.

That day I couldnt even close my eyes to sleep.

(TL : Sigh .. prince and this maid will become great friend tho )
