Welcome Back

Maids were undoubtedly divided into different ranks.

In Flora’s monthly plan, the ideal goal for this month was to become a personal maid.

But she never expected that she would make such a fool of herself, and instead of being punished, she would be promoted…

Was she dreaming?

“This is Lord Ryan’s personal order. If you make another mistake, I won’t be able to protect you!”

The old butler, Charlton, seeing her in a daze, said sternly.

“Y-Yes, I will work hard!”

Confirming that this was not an illusion, Flora said ecstatically.

She had been scared to death when the Crown Prince glared at her earlier, but she didn’t expect it to be a false alarm.

It seemed that her appearance was still quite good, even if she fell flat on her face, she could still attract the target’s attention.

Unfortunately, the Crown Prince had gone out to handle official business and would not return until the evening.

After the old butler took them on a tour of the mansion, Flora and the other maids did their regular housework.

If the maids had only avoided her as a source of infection before, after learning that she had been promoted, they completely treated her like a death row inmate.

“Hey, Flora, are you really okay?”

When there was no one around, a maid named Heidi came over.

She was the most friendly, popular, and skilled of the maids who joined at the same time, and was also Flora’s roommate.

She had helped Flora a lot during the first exam, and she didn’t join in the mocking of Flora’s clumsiness in the hall.

“My body is very good, thank you for your concern!”

Flora patted the somewhat ample flesh on her chest, saying spiritedly.

She had fallen twice again just now, but fortunately, once she was holding a basin full of dirty clothes, and once she was holding a dry mop, so she didn’t cause any irreparable mistakes.

“I’m talking about you becoming a personal maid.” Heidi lowered her voice and said, “This is too dangerous, why don’t you discuss it with Mr. Charlton and refuse this job?”

“I will try to reduce mistakes and do my job well!” Flora raised her fist full of enthusiasm.

“This is indeed very worrying… but that’s not what I wanted to say.”

Heidi looked around and whispered into Flora’s ear, “Haven’t you heard that rumor?”

“What rumor?” Flora tilted her head.

“Ah, I forgot they wouldn’t tell you…”

Heidi patted her head and switched to a scary tone like telling a ghost story,

“It is said that every personal maid of His Highness, no matter how well they perform, will eventually meet with misfortune, die without a whole body, mysteriously disappear, and some people were fished out of the pond after drowning for a month, their bodies completely rotten…”

“Did they catch the murderer?” Flora asked worriedly.

“Huh?” Heidi seemed not to have expected her reaction, and shook her head after a moment of，“No, but everyone said it was ghosts doing it…”

“So it was done by a necromancer? What did the Church say?”

Flora pondered, “And we can’t rule out the possibility of assassins disguised.

Such a big thing must have caused a big commotion, right? What happened in the end? Was His Majesty furious?”

“The C-Church? His Majesty?” Heidi was completely stunned. It took her a while to react and shake her head repeatedly,

“No, no, things didn’t get that big, because there was a rumor that His Highness did all this, so he didn’t receive any punishment.”

“That’s too much, right?”

Flora knew that the Crown Prince was horny, and perhaps had a unique taste for playing some tricks.

But the maids were all women from noble families, and they died for no reason… she didn’t think the ambitious and talented Emperor would be so dull as to allow the Crown Prince to be so arbitrary.

“I’m not sure, but the fact is that the maids have been replaced batch after batch. If there really wasn’t a problem, how could this happen?”

Seeing that Flora was finally a little scared, Heidi earnestly said, “I know you’re worried about being blamed by His Highness the Crown Prince, but Mr. Charlton will definitely help you plead for mercy!”

“How can I trouble Mr. Charlton?” Flora looked embarrassed.

“Even if you’re unlucky and get kicked out, at least you can save your life… think about it carefully!”

The voices of other maids came from afar. Given Flora’s current situation of being ostracized by others, Heidi quickly distanced herself and went back to do her own work.

Flora didn’t care, but was grateful that Heidi was willing to care about herself, who was being ostracized.

But she didn’t intend to listen to Heidi’s suggestion.

Not to mention that it would embarrass the old butler who had always taken care of her, she came here to seduce the Crown Prince, how could she give up such a good opportunity because of a little danger… eh?

(Crap, should I have acted more timid just now to be like a normal girl?)

Flora belatedly realized.

But what’s done is done, and there’s no use in regretting it. She had no choice but to make the best of it and add the setting of a fearless idiot to herself.

Continuing to work hard, trying to keep the number of falls under double digits, in the afternoon, Flora got the exclusive rest time for personal maids.

After tidying up her appearance and filling her stomach in advance, Flora followed the old butler to the gate to welcome the return of Crown Prince Ryan.

However, for some reason, neither the old butler nor the guards merely bowed slightly and silently stood on both sides of the road.

Ryan, who stepped down from the carriage, still had the same gloomy and indifferent look as in the morning, exuding a terrifying aura that made him difficult to approach.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but bury their heads lower, not daring to breathe loudly, as if they were not welcoming their own master, but a peerless demon who would tear them to pieces in the next moment.

Ryan, however, was used to this, not even looking at the servants, and proceeded towards the mansion with his assistant.

Just when everyone thought that this agonizing moment was about to pass, a lively voice broke the silence—

“Your Highness Prince Ryan, welcome back!”

Many people couldn’t help but gasp.

The old butler’s forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but he didn’t dare to turn around and criticize her as usual.

The black-haired and crimson-eyed Crown Prince stopped and glanced coldly at the smiling blonde maid.

Unexpectedly, the latter smiled even more brightly.

(How is it, are you charmed by me?)

Flora knew very well that the way she behaved was very different from ordinary girls, compared to when she was a man not long ago.

So she bought the two secret books “A Thousand Strategies for Moe Maids to Capture the Hearts of Their Masters” and “Overbearing Young Master Falls in Love with Me” and studied them carefully every night, finally understanding a truth.

The first thing to do to seduce a man is to leave a deep impression on him!

Flora’s strongest weapon now was undoubtedly her pretty and cute appearance that she couldn’t help but praise.

Especially when she smiled, she could feel herself shining when she looked in the mirror.

However, the Crown Prince quickly withdrew his gaze and walked into the house expressionlessly.

Huh?

This… could it be a failure?

Just as Flora was about to follow, a large hand suddenly grabbed her collar from behind, lifting her up like a chick.

“Flora Haggia, what are you doing!” The old butler was furious.
