Nainiae was drea
It was an incredibly blissful dreaet a hold of herself after waking up
‘Nainiae, get a grip’
Nainiae said that to herself over and over in her head She checked again toout of shape on her maid dress She started to walk
"I’ hall and then followed the corridor to the kitchen There, shethe dinner
"Nainaie?"
"Oh ht?"
"I heard Young Master Lloyd was shocked"
"Let ht?"
As soon as she entered, everyone turned to look at her direction They all had concerned looks on their faces
"… I’ at Nainiae She was about to have her eyes filled with tears However, Nainiae kept the expression on her face in check Maintaining a norht"
Although she said that, it didn’t change the concerned looks on people’s faces
"I think I took too long of a break I’ll get back to work right away"
Trying hard to ignore the people looking at her, Nainiae walked toward the dishes that still needed to be washed She reached for the dishes, but then Sera snatched her wrist Sera looked angry
"Nainiae"
"M… Ms Sera?"
Sera was biting her lips Just like how she hen she woke up in front of Iris, Nainiae slowly avoided Sera’s eyes
"I heard everything"
Nainiae’s face cru Master Riley?’
She was not sure who, but Nainiae thought it was soood would have come from it
"I don’t knohat you have heard, but it erated, so…"
"Nainiae, I heard you are dying"
"…"
With difficulty, Sera said it The kitchen became quiet as if soerated story"
Nainiae broke the silence and said it
"I don’t knoho told you that, but it is an exaggerated story, so…"
Unable to look at people in the eyes, Nainiae picked up a dish and tried to wash it In the end…
Crash!
Because of her shaky hand, she ended up dropping it
Because the kitchen was in silence, the sound of the dish being shattered sounded h someone called her name, Nainiae did not respond She directed her hand toward the broken pieces on the ground Usually, she would not have used ic, but this time she did
"I cleaned it up"
She learned the "Rewind" ic and restored the broken dish back to its forrabbed Nainiae’s shoulder and called her name However, Nainiae only flinched her shoulder for aSera
"You should rest The Doctor from Rainfield said you absolutely need to rest"
She was probably talking about Andal
"It’s all right I’m coht, she broke yet another dish
"It’s all right I just need to use Rewind again"
"Nainiae"
"…"
Nainiae lowered her hand toward the broken dish She was about to use the Rewindher naer of all maids I forbid you to enter this kitchen I also forbid you to wear the maid uniform"
"Ms Willa…?"
"What is it?"
"I… I’ this because I’m worried about you in particular"
Willa caazed upon her as she explained,
"You used ic, didn’t you?"
"That, that’s"
Nainiae knew that she couldn’t make an excuse like ‘it could not be helped’
The dish was broken because of Nainiae
If she denied it, it would make Sera look bad because it would imply that Sera didn’t educate Nainiae properly
"By any chance, did Sera taught you to be like that?"
"No! That’s not it That’s not!"
"In that case, you have no objections, right?"
Nainiae was afraid that it will be like facing a brick of ice if she faced Willa She couldn’t dare to look up toward her Nainiae looked at the ground as she bit her lips
"Why…"
As if she hispering, Nainiae started to speak
"I just did it efficiently"
"…"
"When I usedMaster Riley, you lefton to the skirt with her hands, Nainiae slowly raised her voice
"Occasionally, for the people ere in trouble…"
What she had been holding down very hard started to come out of her eyes
"For Ms Sera, Sofia, Ms Hellen, Laura, Gemini, Rebecca… Mr Ian, Terry, Allen, Mr Albert… When I used ic in secret to help the back then"
Nainiae carefully spoke the names of the people she helped in the mansion She spoke them carefully as if they were precious Not able to hold it any in her eyes, she continued
"All of it…"
Drop
Drop
The strea her cheek started to drop on the broken dish
"You saw all of it, didn’t you?"
"Nainiae"
"This is not fair You had been watching ht… you would allowto be strange for an 18 year old to speak about so done to herself
