I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem
Vol. 9: The Fate of The Masterpiece
Chapter 04

I held back my laughter.

Camilla must have been overjoyed when she brought that girl into the castle.

I stared at Camilla and the maid with uneasy gazes like a shy cat, and welcomed the maid in a quiet voice.

“Take good care of her.”

“Y-yes… M-m-mother.”

Camilla returned her gaze to Fiona, who stood there with a proud expression like a stone statue, and exited my bedroom with a very proud countenance.

And after the sound of her footsteps has faded completely.

“My Lady!”

Fiona sobbed gently and wrapped her arms around my waist.

“You’ve succeeded.”

“Yes!”

Fiona nodded and looked up at me with bright eyes.

“I just did everything you told me to do, My Lady, and it all turned out like this!”

“Good job.”

I stroked Fiona’s hair softly as if touching the adorable dog in my arms.

Camilla obviously doesn’t know that Fiona is Penny’s sister.

In the first place, she was not a master who was interested in housework chores enough to see the faces of the family of her commoner maid.

Even Selina herself never met Penny’s family, so would Camilla ever see them?

I relocated Penny’s family and relocated Fiona to the county as soon as the “devil incident” broke out.

It wasn’t too difficult because there were a lot of servants there.

“Wasn’t it difficult getting into the annex?”

“Certainly not, My Lady. I went in with the cleaning staff and no one noticed.”

The commoner servants had little opportunity to meet the Count’s family.

Camilla was fortunate to be staying in a place with lax security, such as the annex.

“I thought I was going to get in big trouble when the Countess caught me stealing……”

I made her do it.

“On the contrary, she gave me a lot of money, and she said she would give me more if I did what she told me to do.”

Fiona would have seen Camilla as a commoner maid blinded by money once she had been caught taking her jewelry.

‘So she’d think she was simple to exploit.’

Camilla did things that way. She believes that money can buy people.

Money can purchase a person’s labor, but it cannot buy loyalty.

Loyalty must be earned, not bought.

“She told me to report your every move to her, My Lady, especially if you met a particular man.”

Camilla, as I suspected, was primarily concerned about the male problem.

“She also asked me to keep an eye on whether or not you were menstruating properly. She instructed me to notify her when.”

“She wants the exact date, too?”

“Yes.”

Now that the portrait has arrived, she appears to be serious about selling me on the wedding market.

It was meant to show that having children was not a difficulty because menstruation occurred on time.

‘She’s such a nasty. She deserves to be beaten.’

Because it was mentioned in the original, I expected it to be like this, but it was extremely unpleasant.

“And……”

Fiona’s voice became even huskier.

“She seemed worried that you might be pregnant, My Lady.”

“Oh, my.”

I was taken aback and burst out laughing.

You should look at the sky to pick the stars. How can I become pregnant when I have no experience?

‘You should be concerned about yourself.’

I’ll never forget the nasty sound I heard at dawn yesterday.

That’s why she doesn’t have many complaints about staying in the annex.

Even though it is inconvenient, there are more benefits.

‘I wonder what the hell the butler’s charm.’

His face was unquestionably visually appealing. He was also quite tall.

But when a man like Cedric is around, does the butler come into sight?

‘I’d rather seduce Cedric.’

If I had acting talents or were a little more daring, I would have taken advantage of Cedric.

Fiona, who was watching how I was feeling, cautiously opened her mouth.

“And she told me to check whether My Lady really only stutters in front of the Countess.”

I guess she realized that.

Camilla does have ears, so she must have heard the rumor.

Servants could appear as shadows at any time and in any place. They would have noticed me when I was speaking with Penny, William, or Cedric.

“Report to her that I was stiff and stuttered all the time at first.”

“Yes.”

“But I haven’t stuttered since you told me about your relationship with a man you met at the village festival. Instead, I was excited like an idiot and that might put me at ease.”

“However, My Lady, I’ve never met a man before.”

“Phew, what have you been up to?”

“I brewed alcohol and raised my siblings……”

It was too depressing for a fifteen-year-old girl.

I placed Fiona’s hand on my lap. Fiona, who was taken aback, shrank in embarrassment

Her hands were grittier than Penny’s.

He was a teenager who worked at a brewery and looked after her three younger siblings.

I couldn’t compare her life to Penny’s, who was serving in the county castle.

I took some chamomile oil from my bedside and massaged it into her hands.

“Take this with you and put it to use. It’s what Penny liked.”

“M-my Lady.”

Fiona was embarrassed yet she remained still as if she liked my touch.

Then she stealthily placed her thumb on my hand.

“…… that’s exactly what my sister said.”

“What?”

“That the Countess is the devil, and you are the angel, My Lady.”

Even with my head bowed, I could feel her envious stare. I had the sensation that the top of my head was about to be pierced.

“Your hands are fluffier and softer than flour dough……A lovely angel.”

Her innocent smile made me laugh.

I don’t know how such an innocent child looked so sour before.

‘Does that have anything to do with her being the second oldest?’

There was definitely a part of her that was more compressed than Penny’s.
