I Tamed the Male Lead Who Would Kill Me - Chapter 7
I’m angry about the same thing, so I glared at Bill and Ron. But the truth is, I wanted Bill and Ron to come out this way.
I let out a big sigh and said.
“okay. I’m sure people won’t believe Carcian’s words.”
Karsian shook his body as if indignant. I stepped in front of Carcian and sent him behind me to protect him.
“Is that all?”
“… … Yes?”
“Water of reconciliation, is that all? Then I’ll drink that instead. Then you will be reconciled.”
“What, what, what… … !”
“Then, this is covered.”
Carcian gasped in surprise at my words, and Bill and Ron widened their eyes.
“miss!”
Susan, who was watching the situation from behind, jumped out quickly, but I stretched out my arm to stop her.
“Answer me. This thing is covered.”
Bill and Ron hesitated in embarrassment at my words, but soon they laughed and held out the bowl to me.
“yes. That’s right, what.”
“However, if you can drink all of that water.”
They must have thought that I was bluffing when I couldn’t eat this dish.
But what to do with this, to me who stood on the death row, this kind of water is like holy water.
I even drank the rainwater that ran down the dirty walls in prison. I don’t know if I’ve been able to survive for several days in a poor environment enough to be grateful for that.
Karsian and Susan screamed as I grabbed the bowl Ron handed me.
“Don’t drink!”
“My lady, no. I’ll call someone!”
But I just turned my head and smiled at the two of them, then drank the whole bowl in front of everyone. The horse was in dirty water, and it was close to the water that I just dipped a rag in and drained, as if I didn’t use soap. Since it was morning, it was quite clean.
I turned over the empty bowl and confirmed it. Instead of water droplets, only a single leaf fell from the bowl.
“Is that okay?”
Bill and Ron were looking at me with their mouths wide open. Carcian and Susan were stunned and said nothing.
I took advantage of the moment Bill was frozen and took the magic tool that was being recorded from his chest.
“Oh, that… … !”
Bill stretched out his hand in surprise, but I quickly stepped back, turned off the power, and threw the magic tool at Susan. Susan, who was stiff, hurriedly accepted the magic tool.
“As you said, where did you, who are only servants, get such expensive magic tools?”
“that… … .”
“Looks like it’s obvious, it’s your father’s office, isn’t it? Did you steal it from there?”
“Oh, no, no!”
“okay? Then I’ll ask my father as I hand this over directly to him. ‘Didn’t the recording magic tool disappear recently?’ do.”
At my words, Bill’s face became contemplative.
“Let’s see… … wow! Was it being recorded? Then, after this, it must also be recorded that he tormented Carcian, who was entrusted with the writer, and fed me, her eldest daughter, with mop-washed water? If I give this magic tool to my father and say, ‘These servants have caused a scandal, I will inform the world so that they will not be hired elsewhere’… … How will your father react?”
Our Marquis family values a gentlemanly image externally. However, to do something that could damage that image, there is no way I would leave the servants Bill and Ron alone.
Realizing this, Bill and Ron knelt in front of me in an instant, wondering where their arrogance had gone.
“Ha, please forgive me just once. miss!”
“My lady, we made a mistake!”
Then, before I could say anything, he knelt on the floor on his own.
I looked down at it and said,
“I don’t think an apology is only for me, right?”
“Sin, sorry! Master Karsian!”
“We made a mistake!”
“Is Carcian right?”
“yes! I took the rake from Master Karsian passing by and injured myself!”
“And again, he gave Master Carsian a pitchfork and said he would break it if he let go!”
That’s why Carcian couldn’t even let go of the pitchfork. If the rake is broken, you can’t work at the stable, and you’ll get scolded.
“I’m so sorry, Master Karsian!”
“I have committed a mortal sin. Forgive me just once!”
Bill, Ron banged his head and begged. I said it was up to Karcian to decide what to do with them.
Carcian thought for a moment, then took a bowl from me and scooped out the dirty water.
“drink.”
“… … Yes, yes?”
“I’ll forgive you for sharing a drink between the two of you.”
“… … Yes?!”
Bill and Ron were stunned by Carcian’s calm words. Of course I was surprised too. I didn’t know Karsian would say something like that.
“why. Latia, the lady of this mansion, also drank. As servants, you share the drink in half.”
“Ha, but… … .”
“Do, young master… … .”
Bill and Ron looked at the sloppy water with tears in their eyes. Seeing that, Carcian tilted his head crookedly.
“no? can’t you? Latia, speaking of that magic tool, if I go to the Marquis right now and say, ‘I can’t bear to be treated like this anymore’… … .”
“M, M, M, I will drink!”
“All, I’ll drink it sweet!”
Bill took the bowl of sputum water and gulped it down before Carcian could say anything.
“Hey, hey! I have to leave mine too!”
Ron said urgently, fearing he would get himself into trouble, and slapped Bill on the back. The two also showed an empty bowl in front of us.
Karsian confirmed that and said in a calm voice.
“Don’t do that in the future. Tell the other servants too. Please don’t bother me.”
“Yes, yes! All right!”
“I will definitely tell you!”
Bill and Ron disappeared as if they were running away after bowing their heads to Carcian several times.
I was looking at the backs of the two running towards each other, at that time. Wow!
“miss!”
Susan ran over and hugged me.
“What, what, why… … !”
Susan couldn’t speak properly because she was crying. I wanted to ache inside. It’s me, since I have memories before returning, so it’s okay to drink stale water, but from Susan’s point of view, it’s probably not.
“Are you very surprised? No, I was watching and the water looked cleaner than I thought, so I thought it would be okay. And since it’s morning, there won’t be much cleaning.”
“Anyway, lady. such water… … !”
Tears welled up in Susan’s eyes as she looked at me busily.
“I can’t, go ahead and get some medicine. What should I do if I get sick after doing this, come on!”
“Ah, ah! Wait, Susan!”
I wanted to have a quick chat with Carcian, but Susan dragged me straight into the room.
Under Susan’s supervision (?), I drank five glasses of clean water and took medicine in case something went wrong with my body.
The human body is not as weak as you think. It’s to the point where you can drink that dirty rainwater and still be fine. So I didn’t think much of it, but I just sat on the bed with a smile on my face because I liked Susan’s concern for me.
I forgot to reveal that the leaves that fell from the bowl I drank the water from were ‘herbs that purify dirty water’.
Earlier, while looking for a bird, a leaf with a cleansing effect attached to my body. I happened to see it, and I thought it was right, so I decided to drink the stale water. Of course, the leaves didn’t go into the water that Carcian fed Bill and Ron.
That evening, I asked Susan to return the magic tool to my father.
‘I heard from Susan that recently there have been people outside the mansion talking badly about our family. I think I know why they say things like that. I tried to induce it once, but I can say it right away.’ along with a letter.
Of course, this is a lie, but my father will be crushed. My father is madly obsessed with the gentlemanly image of the Marquis family. My father gave me an amethyst necklace after saying that I believed in Carcian, saying, ‘You guided me well.’
It was ‘mine’ for the first time in my life.
And the next day, I could no longer see Bill and Ron in the mansion.
* * *
A few days later, I went out to the garden with Susan today to find the baby bird in my memory. The barrel of the baby bird’s favorite food was empty.
“Maybe another bird ate it?”
“Maybe they just came and ate food and left. This food is made by drying the roots of grass, so ordinary birds do not eat it well.”
In case I was heartbroken, Susan tried hard to comfort me.
“Then I’ll just have to leave it alone. I see you are living well.”
I turned around, leaving my regretful heart behind. But it was at this time.
“Look at me just once, just once! No, even catalogs are fine! We only select really high-quality herbs!”
“Ugh! Make a fuss about this place! Can’t you just go away?”
“Tsk! No matter how compassionate our Marquis is, that’s right, even these kinds of merchants are trying to get in!”
There was a great commotion near the main gate of the mansion. A man was hugging the saplings and shouting, and the knights were dragging him out.
“I am not a merchant, I am a member of the Gruan Merchants who have been trading for generations… … !”
“Sometime after the Gruan Merchant’s bankruptcy, then you’re a merchant!”
“Please let me see the Marquis, the Marquis just once! I have something very important to tell you!”
“Oh, even if it doesn’t work! Do you think our Marquis is free enough to deal with every single merchant like you?”
The man cried and said, but the knights were merciless.
Wait a minute, Gruan top?
In an instant, a scene from the original flashed past.
