Chapter 163 – The Broad-Minded Lady and the Disappointed Butler

We stayed up until morning, and when the time came, we prepared roughly and went to school.

I went to school first, and after a while, Dania entered the classroom.

“Huh? Dania? What are you doing at this hour?”

While sitting at my desk in silence, a lively classmate spoke to my mate.

Normally, Dania, who should have come with Selena just before morning assembly, was already there, so she seemed curious.
(By the way, I was the butler of the Branzel family, so I used to go to school by myself first to hide the fact.)

“What about Selena? Don’t the two of us come later?”
“That, that’s…”

Dania hangs her head in embarrassment.
Instead of her not finding an answer, she spoke skillfully.

“I was looking through the desk drawer as soon as I got home. Didn’t you leave something behind yesterday?”
“Yeah, yeah… I lost my phone. It doesn’t seem like it’s here either.”
“Really?
“No… I’m fine. I’m at home.”

It was only after Dania politely refused that her chatty but kindhearted friend left.

After a while, Dania’s expression hardened again.

It’s because of the appearance of a person who is difficult to face.

“Selena, hello!”
“Yes, hello. How are you?”
“Hi, Selena!”
“Hello nice to meet you.”

Does it have to be poisonous too?
As if nothing had happened, she exudes a sense of presence by greeting those around her like a lady from a conglomerate family.

But Selena’s steps moved closer to us, not her own.

“Dania.”
“Four, yes, lady.”

A brief call freezes Dania.
As if she didn’t have the courage to meet her eyes, she lowered her head to the floor.

“I left this.”

What Selena had on her desk was her butler’s cell phone.

“Go, thank you.”
“…”

I am also involved in yesterday’s incident, so this situation is very uncomfortable.
She tried to look at her phone, pretending not to know, but perhaps because of her mood, she felt Selena’s stinging gaze on the head next to her.

“Hey, Dania.”

The voice that comes out is calmer than expected.

“Yes?”
“That… Can we talk for a while when we have time?”
“Ah, I see.”
“Then I’ll call you later.”

I couldn’t see Selena’s expression because I was avoiding her eyes, but with her tone and tone, I feel like I’m going to reach out to her for reconciliation.

Dania couldn’t have known that feeling, and when her owner left, she whispered in a slightly excited voice.

“I-Ian. What are you trying to say? Are you trying to forgive me?”
“Isn’t that the atmosphere? Let’s talk about it.”
“Ah, got it.”

Her face, which had been hardened with fear, now hardened with tension and excitement.

If the two reconcile, it may make it difficult to achieve my goals, but seeing Dania happy makes me smile too.

… Yes, there must be some way.

The morning assembly came with such thoughts.

—

Lunch hour.
Dania, who left the classroom alone, headed somewhere.
The destination is a relatively unoccupied toilet in a corner on the same floor.
The reason, of course, was to meet Selena.

In fact, it was a very strange experience for her.
She had never walked so long to meet her master, as she had always been with them at school before.

‘I have to go quickly so the lady doesn’t wait.’

Even if she didn’t show it on the outside, she was excited right now.
Thanks to Selena’s sign of reconciliation in the morning.

‘It’s also a young lady. You have a big heart.’

In fact, even though Dania was immersed in sadness, on the other hand, she couldn’t let go of her hope.
As much as that, Selena was a precious existence to her, and the time the two of her were together was also long.

While I was telling myself that it was just regret, I couldn’t help but be happy when the other person reached out to me first.

‘Let’s honestly apologize for the lies we’ve been deceiving. And I’m trying to make my relationship with Ian so that I can be recognized for who I am.’

No, maybe she’s already thinking about admitting it on Selena’s part.
Because Selena, as much as Dania, cherished their relationship.

When she thought so, she couldn’t walk at a leisurely pace, so she hurried her steps excitedly.

“Dania!”
“Miss!”

As soon as you enter the bathroom, Selena greets you.
Dania also approached her master with a lighter face.

Judging from the fact that no other sounds can be heard, it seems that there are only two people here.

Selena must have been waiting for this moment too, she opened her mouth immediately without hesitation.

“That… It’s yesterday. I called to apologize because I sounded too harsh.”
“Miss….”

There is nothing more gratifying when things unfold as expected.
Overjoyed, Dania’s eyes began to get watery.

“When you said you were fired… I didn’t mean it. I think I said it carelessly because I was too emotional. I’m sorry.”
“Ugh, heck… Miss. I thought I wouldn’t be able to be around you anymore.”
“Ooh, don’t cry. Even if I really want to fire you anyway, I can’t do it without Mommy’s permission.”
“Still….”

Like a child who has lost her mother, water drops begin to fall from her butler’s eyes.
Selena, who was looking at her with a pitying eye, said as she wiped her tears.

“Stop crying. I’m sorry.”

She wants to obey her master, but she can’t stop her tears.
That’s how Dania’s heartache was extreme.

Still, there were no more mournful cries like yesterday.
Selena’s apology means that she understood or was trying to understand her butler’s real face.

Her gratitude for that fact filled her heart with happiness even though tears flowed from her eyes.

“No, miss. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to apologize. Dania did nothing wrong.”
“Miss….”
“It was me who was wrong. I was too short-sighted. She couldn’t do that because Dania wanted it.”
“…Yes?”

The air changed in an instant.
She sensed something was wrong, and before Dania could hear her answer, she asked again.

“What do you mean by that…”

Selena was still looking at the butler with eyes full of pity.
She even hugged her sweetly.

“You don’t have to hide it. Are you being threatened by him?”
“Yes? That’s not…”
“Since that man isn’t here, it’s okay to talk about everything in peace. I’ll do my best to help.”

It felt like she had been hit in the back of the head with a blunt instrument.
Obviously, the owner’s arms, which had been warm until just now, feel like ice.

“No… No, lady. Ian did nothing to me….”
“Can I be honest with you? I know everything. Neither anyone else nor Dania is the kind of person who would do such a thing.”
“It’s not like that…”
“You’re so terrified you can’t even speak… What the hell did that trash man do to you?”

Only then did Dania realize.
That Selena didn’t understand her and that she didn’t intend to.

“Has he been forcing you to do dirty things every time like in that video? Besides, seeing that you can’t even talk to him without him, it’s clear that he’s mentally abused you a lot. Am I right?”

Obviously, Dania in the video revealed her candid self.
She fell for Ian, and she felt happy being with him.

But she said Selena saw her butler happy and said she was a dirty job.

“…”

Because of that, she was broken in an instant.
She also hopes that she can be understood by her master as she is.
The hope that she can go back to the same relationship as before.

It will be hard for her to be honest with her master if she is denied her already revealed self.

“If it’s hard to talk, it’s okay later. Talk to me whenever you feel courageous.”

Selena, who did not know her true butler’s feelings, was trying to persuade Dania with all her heart.
Without knowing that it hurts even more.

“I’ll definitely rescue him. We’re going to expose that man’s true face and put him in prison. No, we’ll have to put him to death.”
“…”
“For now, let’s go home together today. I’m really fine, so don’t worry about it. Huh?”

The owner’s desperate eyes are directed at her butler.
But before she knew it, her tears dried up and there was emptiness in the butler’s eyes.

“I… I think I need to stay in my dorm room today. I have something to do…”

Dania can’t bear to reveal her true feelings.
All she could do was get out of her seat before this grief got too hard for her to deal with.

“That’s right? Okay. Call me anytime if you need it. I keep having bad thoughts when I’m alone, okay?”
“…Yes, lady. Thank you.”

Thus, the conversation between the two ended with a one-sided reconciliation.

—

I was on my way back to the dormitory after school.

However, Dania keeps bothering me.

I thought that the conversation with Selena would go well, but Dania after lunchtime was more depressed than yesterday.

What the hell happened?

I was curious all the time at school, but I couldn’t bear to ask because my partner’s expression was so dark.

Seeing as I was depressed all day, it seems the conversation didn’t end well….

There was one more reason.
I knew that when the two of them reconciled, Dania would return to her mansion right away.

But when she finished her class, she asked if she could stay longer in my dorm, and in the end, I went back first and she agreed to come later, avoiding her prying eyes.

“I’m here?”

Dania’s expression is still dark as she enters her dormitory.
She could go to a comfortable place, whether it be a couch or a bed, and rest, but she stood motionless in the middle of the living room.

“Dania, are you okay?”
“…”

She just stares at her ground without a word.
Not only is he depressed, but it is unusual to see him thinking deeply about something.

Standing like a statue of her, when she was unable to do this or that in front of her, her heavy voice was heard.

“Ian…”
“Yes why?”
“Can you really make the lady understand me?”

At her unexpected words, I looked at her once.
Suddenly, her eyes toward me contained a certain determination and earnestness.

“…Yes.”
“Then please. Please do so.”

What the hell were you talking about with Selena?
What happened to make that decision?

She can’t know what will happen to Selena if I accept her request, as she has experienced it firsthand.

Even so, she asked me to reconcile with Selena, so she wondered if that woman was important to her.

“I’m serious?”
“…Yes. Even if not as much as the young lady, I also despised you and had an aversion to lewd behavior. But not now. Because you changed me.”
“…”
“Make the lady change like I did. Then maybe she can understand me and get closer again.”

Judging from her resolute appearance, she seems to have already made up her mind.
Still, she said, just in case.

“Perhaps Selena is having a hard time.”
“…I know. I’ve been through it too. But when I think about it again, you didn’t cross the decisive line. Thanks to you, my body wasn’t hurt in the slightest and my heart wasn’t broken. I believe you’ll be the same when dealing with the young lady.”

Having said that, there is no reason to refuse.
Rather, it’s nice to have a reason to train Selena under her agreement.

“Okay. I’ll make sure to change Selena. Promise me that Dania will actively help me instead.”
“…Don’t do that.”

Then I heard from her about her conversation she had with Selena at her lunch break.
Thanks to that, I could see how Selena thought of our relationship, and how Dania had made up her mind.

“So you’re saying Selena thinks I’m threatening you?”
“…Okay.”

She is just like that woman who judges only according to her own values ​​unconditionally.
Still, I came up with a good method for that reason.

“Dania. Let’s start today.”

Her eyes wavered for a moment, but she soon made up her mind and nodded her head.
We immediately started preparing.

—

Same night.
Selena left the mansion alone and was heading somewhere.

[My lady, please come to my place.]

It was a short message, but Selena’s head was complicated when she received it.
She didn’t answer the phone and didn’t answer even when I called.

What else did that trash man do?
Did he just ask for help because he was afraid to be alone?

I don’t know the answer, but at least it was certain that I needed her help.

‘I have to hurry even a little while I have time to think!’

She gets out of her taxi and heads straight for Dania’s dorm room.

Fortunately, she knew her password, so she hurriedly unlocked the door and went inside.

“Dania!”
“…”

Silence lingers in the dark living room, and no presence is felt.
A light leaked through the crack in the closed door into her eyes.

Selena rushes to open the door.
However, her whole body froze at the sight unfolding before her eyes.

“Hu-eup, chu-eup… Chug.”

A man sitting naked on a bed and a woman hugging him.

Her woman turned her back on this, but Selena recognized at once that she was her own butler.
And the fact that the man who kisses the butler is Ian, whom he hates so much.

“What are you doing!”
“Oh, are you here?”
“Quick get away from Dania!”

At the sound of Selena’s voice, her butler looks back.
Contrary to expectations, the face was full of pleasure rather than pain or fear.

“Dania…?”
“…Miss.”
“Hey, what’s this… Hey, you! What the hell did you do? What did you do to Dania like this!”

Even when he shouted enough to make the whole room reverberate, Ian didn’t even blink an eye, and he even put a smile on his lips.

“What do you mean? I didn’t do anything.”
“Don’t be funny! Dania… Dania can’t do such a dirty thing!”

Dania, who was looking at her Ian again, flinches.
Selena didn’t know that the sadness lingered on her face for a moment.

“Do you think you’ll be okay doing this? Aren’t you afraid of the law? I’m calling the police right now!”
“We’re just making love. We didn’t do anything to get caught.”

Selena’s hand shakes precariously as she pulls out her phone.

If the police are called, that man will be punished, but Dania will also expose her own shame to the world.

Will Dania be able to withstand it?
Is she really right to file a report?

If you don’t report it, you’ll have to settle everything on the spot.
But how? Just by killing that man with magic?

Of course it is possible.
But then, in the end, this incident is revealed and Dania and her life are ruined.

So, instead of killing them, should I intimidate them with only moderate damage with magic?
But if the two stick together like that, even Dania might get hurt.

‘What should I do… ?’

Her ears were gnawing at her nerves as her head was busy.

“Come to think of it, I did something, yes.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Sorry, I forgot.”

It feels like my stomach is about to turn over at the smile that seems to be laughing at me.
Ian said, not paying attention to Selena’s face contorted with anger.

“Dania, can you show it to Selena?”
“…I get it.”
“Dania?”

A blank-faced Dania pulls away from her Ian.
And as she slowly turned back, Selena’s face turned pale.

“Dah, Dania… What is that?”

A suspicious pattern that glows brightly in pink on the butler’s belly.

With the location and shape of the tattoo resembling a woman’s womb, Selena intuitively realized that it was not an ordinary tattoo.

“…Ian Drachin. What the hell have you done to Dania….”

A voice that trembles with fear and anger at something unknown.
On the other hand, Ian was always full of composure.

“You don’t know what this is. It’s called the vagina.”
