I Ran Away And The Reverse Harem Started

Chapter 10 At breakfast, I stared in disbelief at the two senior maids before I left for work.I didn’t realize it until the next morning, but Miriam, who had pushed me down the day before, and a maid named Angela, who had asked me to retrieve the ring, were the same group.I looked at the two people in turn and asked.“Are you telling me to clean all the rooms on the third floor by myself?”“Why? if you clean them all by night, you’ll be able to do it, don’t tell me you can’t? You are a rookie who used a single room alone, so shouldn’t you show off your skills?”Miriam took the lead and chattered obnoxiously.No, no matter what. I’m cleaning one entire floor of the mansion. Isn’t it a bit too much for me to do alone?Perhaps Miriam was acting so manipulative because she’d seen me being pampered by Mrs. Rosa the day before.I glared at Angela.The girl who was standing behind Miriam must have been pricked by my gaze, so she turned her head away when she saw my gaze.‘I’ve been up all night looking for your ring, and this is how you treat me? You should help me!’I hoped that Angela, in the back, would stop Miriam by reminding her of last night’s search for the silver ring, but the two of them had been together for so long that they were already in sync.Somehow, even though she is the same maid, it seems like she is secretly following Miriam’s notice.‘I guess that girl named Miriam is the highest ranking.’I narrowed my eyes and looked at the two people.I mean, who doesn’t have friends at work, and I can’t report this to anyone!But holding on to my resentment didn’t make anyone show up and clean the third floor.Damn it, it would be a hundred times better to just start cleaning early.After taking a deep breath, I took the cleaning supplies and went up to the third floor of the mansion.Mrs. Rosa was friendly to me, so she wouldn’t make me clean all night like Miriam said… that was the only consolation.The third floor was rarely occupied, so it was very quiet, with no sign of life.Other than one large bathroom, the third floor wasn’t much different from the second.“Okay, let’s clean while singing at the top of our lungs. Unlike others, I can do well on my own.”Since ancient times, if you have a work song, cleaning will go well without you noticing the passage of time. I was thinking of singing alone while cleaning.Before cleaning out the empty rooms, I headed to the large bathroom in the corner of the third floor.It was called a bathroom, but like the other rooms, there was a large living room with a bathtub in it.I rolled up my sleeves, opened all the windows, and started dusting the window frames in the living room with a duster.“Cough, how much dust is there?”Do you roughly clean the window frames? Are you going to frame me?I hummed as I settled the dust rising in the air.Still, I guess it’s a blessing in disguise that cleaning work suits me a little bit…It was when I was humming alone, dusting the window frames and wiping them with a rag.“just a little more….”As I stood up on the small chair and tried to wipe the window frame with my tiptoes up, I started to feel tired.I stretched out my short arms and extended the duster toward the corner of the window frame.However, due to a very small difference, it did not reach the end.Should I go down and readjust my chair position? Wow, that kind of thing is annoying.I got lazy and stretched my arm out to the point of cramping and dust.“Uh? Huh?”Rattling-Perhaps because of the weight on my toes, the small chair was shaking like crazy.So fast that if anyone saw it from a distance, they’d think I was flailing my legs in the air!Was it a chair with one short leg?But now, at this moment, such thoughts were of no use. This is because the chair, which was shaking, fell backwards and my feet slipped as well.“Ah!”My body was about to fall to the floor like that.Thud!The sound of a chair falling over was loud.

However, I was able to avoid falling to the floor thanks to someone holding my waist tightly.“Ugh…!”I opened my eyes wide and turned to the person who held me.I saw Daniel with an annoyed face.

Daniel had water droplets on his hair and was wearing a white bathrobe.His forearm around my waist was burning with heat“Da-Daniel…?”I opened my mouth in shock, then quickly grabbed Daniel’s shoulder and hung on to him.“Wow, thank you! If it weren’t for you, I would have hit the floor first.”Without him, I would have fallen to the floor and hurt my knee or arm.I survived because Daniel, who looked like he had just come out of the bathroom, grabbed my waist.As I clung to him with a smirk on my face, he grimaced and muttered to himself,“I was wondering what kind of tone-deaf person was singing this strange song.”“What? Tone deaf? Didn’t you hear it wrong? There’s no way I’m tone deaf. I guess you heard it wrong, really.”“Stop talking nonsense and release me?”Daniel grumbled that I was too heavy and he was going to die and pulled me off of him.“Thank you for helping me, but can you drop me kindly?”When I spoke in dissatisfaction, Daniel snorted openly.However, contrary to his ridicule, he gently lowered me to the floor while holding my waist.Then, he adjusted the front of his disheveled gown and spoke.“Next time, bring a big chair and clean it. No matter how low you fall, you can break a bone if you fall wrong.”“Yes, that’s right.”I roughly nodded and answered. Although Daniel had a disapproving look on his face.“I see you’re washing up, I’ve interrupted you. I’ll clean up and be out in a minute.”“Don’t mind.”Daniel said and shook off his wet hair with a towel.Every time he moved his arm, the shower gown opened slightly, revealing a glimpse of skin…‘Maybe it’s because we are childhood friends of the same age….’No matter how handsome and tall he became, Daniel was the guy I hit on the most when I was at the orphanage.We were fighting with their teeth exposed over something trivial, but even if our childhood friend had grown up beyond recognition, it would have been absurd for me to blush at the sight of Daniel’s skin.I secretly praised the main male protagonist for my heart not pounding.Anyway, Daniel looked at me from drying his hair and narrowed his eyes.“Why do you look at me like that?”I picked up the fallen duster and looked at Daniel.Daniel sniffled and came to my side.And then I guess I smell something above my head.“W-what are you doing?!”I was scared and took a step away from the guy and screamed.Then Daniel asked with a strange look on his face.“… Did you spray perfume?”I was so shocked that I covered the back of my neck. To be exact, I covered the area where I applied perfume this morning.‘But since I gave it to you as a gift, it might be a good idea to sprinkle it on…?’I remembered spraying the perfume Lucas gave me before coming to clean the mansion.A perfume that I really liked because of its unique gorgeous floral scent and subtle citrus scent.‘It’s the first perfume in my life, so I tried it once.’I never thought Daniel would find out about it.I can’t believe I was caught doing something like this by a friend of the opposite gender who was the same age and with whom I had no hesitation. I felt somehow embarrassed.When I couldn’t say anything and my face turned red, Daniel laughed evilly as if he had caught me.“He-hey…! Why are you smiling like that?”“Hm.”When I looked at Daniel as if I was protesting, he put his fist to his mouth and giggled.Then, he tilts his head to match my height.It was then that Daniel’s eyes, which had always been sharp, softened.“It’s no big deal. The kid whose nickname was the street leader at the orphanage was wearing perfume.”“…….”“It’s cute.”“…… !”“The scent.”“Hey!!”Daniel looked at me curiously with his hands on his hips.The look in his eyes was as if what on earth had changed my mind to put on something like that.I deliberately avoided those looks and backed away.“What, I can’t even wear perfume? There are days when I want to wear perfume or something!”My voice only grew louder in embarrassment.“Who said what? It’s just that it’s amazing.”Then he bent down and put his nose close to my hair.Daniel, who smelled the scent, smiled innocently like a boy and said.“It suits you well.”“..…..”“It has the same rose scent as your name.”For a moment, I held my breath as I saw the guy coming right in front of me.This was because the smell of Daniel’s soap, not the perfume I had sprayed, hit my nose.A cool, gentle scent from the lakeside.Thanks to this, the heat did not drain from my face.‘… Even when he brought me to the mansion, he gave me a vicious look. Now he is just laughing about trivial things.’He’s a really strange guy.With mixed feelings, I glanced at Daniel, who was smiling in front of me.  * * * It’s already been a week since I came to work as a maid at the Count’s residence.Although there wasn’t enough time to understand the mansion in detail, but I’ve noticed that today is a bit more cluttered than usual.Usually on weekends, the maids only work in the morning and have the afternoon free, but this weekend was different.This is because news came that Saint Deborah would stop by the Count’s residence this afternoon and stay the night.On a weekend morning, I came out of my room with a letter to mail to Lynne’s.In the center of the communal kitchen, a group of casually dressed maids were chatting and eating a large loaf of baked bread.A maid said as she trimmed her nails.“It’s my first time seeing the Saint. Because she usually doesn’t come out of the temple often.”“That’s why His Majesty is so anxious to unite the Count and the Saint.”I suppose that’s what’s going to happen, the two of them getting married.”
