Chapter.41 Forgetting

“… Then kill it. However, as the Baron said, if the Count approached me because he asked me to look, then I should just quietly report it to him. Do you think giving him a chance to run away would not be enough, and I would do something foolish like this and endanger my life? Baron, do I look that stupid?”

Sienna looked straight into the Baron’s eyes.

“Who the hell are you?”

“I’m an ordinary maid. “I’m an ordinary maid who approached the baron even though she knew it would kill her.”

“common… “You said that?”

The Baron shook his head as if that was nonsense. Sienna shrugged her shoulders and expressed her conclusion.

“Let me help you.”

“What?”

“The rule is that the office cleaning is done by three maids. But it’s enough to fool two other people. What are you looking for? “It’s something that only I can do, rather than the Baron.”

“It is the earl’s spirit tablet and the lord’s seal. The seal is proof that you received the earl’s order, and the document with the seal means the earl’s permission. The plan was to use it to distribute relief supplies. “What’s so fun about it is that it’s an opportunity to go out to the hunting ground.”

“okay. Then those two. “I will find it for you.”

After all, there is nothing you can do alone.

Who would believe you if you stole the spirit tablet and seal all by yourself? If you try to command a soldier with a spirit tablet, you will be caught right away.

But the Baron is different.

He is noble.

When a baron gives an order with the earl’s badge and documents, the soldiers have no choice but to follow.

“But like you said, if you get caught, you could die. No, you have no choice but to get caught. So, doing this is the same as saying you are going to die. “Will you still do it?”

This action could save thousands of lives. That’s why the Baron came forward, but he didn’t know what Sienna was thinking, so he asked a question.

“does not matter. But even if you get caught again… . “I have one wish, can you grant it?”

“What is that?”

“I want to run away towards the city in the center of the empire. “Do you know of Grace City?”

“Hmm, I think I’ve heard of it before.”

“Actually, I was born and raised there. If I could go back to my hometown even once before I die… . That’s enough. Could you please allow me to leave the castle? “I don’t care if I get caught after that!”

It was impossible for servants working in the lord’s castle to leave the territory without permission from the lord.

However, it becomes possible if the Baron creates the documents. With that seal.

“No matter where you go, it is obvious that you will eventually be caught by the chase team, but your wish is to just go home?”

“Isn’t the Baron’s wish to help the people even if it means dying?”

“right.”

“It’s just a wish I want to fulfill even if I die.”

The Baron and Sienna stared at each other for a long time. The Baron finally nodded, seeming to have made up his mind.

“The only thing I can do is help you escape. Of course he will be caught soon.”

“yes. does not matter.”

“How can I trust you?”

“How can I trust you, Baron?”

“that… .”

“Aren’t we in the same boat anyway? “Unless you can kill me right here and now.”

Baron Dink looked at Sienna’s neck again after hearing those words. And then he looked at his hands.

“The locking system in the office was very sophisticated. It’s only natural that it’s such a large door. So it would be impossible to proceed with this work without your help. In that case, you have no choice but to gamble. “If I’m safe tonight, doesn’t that mean I can trust you?”

“That goes for me too. If I don’t get dragged off somewhere tonight, don’t we both agree? “In that case, I will head to the office immediately tomorrow.”

“Are we gambling on each other?”

“… … .”

Sienna made no reply to the Baron’s words.

Then, he suddenly searched his chest and held out a key to Sienna.

“I couldn’t open the key to the office, but this is the key to the desk drawer in the office that I obtained in advance. Desk drawers are different from giant doors. “That should be enough to open it.”

“all right.”

Sienna took the key and nodded.

The Baron felt that Sienna was a very strange woman. Going home is more important than life.

Isn’t it so strange?

An extraordinary yet strange woman.

In fact, Sienna was extraordinary from a young age.

From the day when Gray was falsely accused of breaking pottery, she stepped forward and quietly resolved the matter.

The chamberlain and the chief maid. And the Baron’s sons. Even higher up to the nobles.

For Great’s sake, she always came up with various schemes. Of course, I never planned a plan for myself. Only when Gray is in a bad situation.

And the ruse always worked.

Of course that night.

Sienna being captured did not happen. And she volunteered to clean the office.

“When do you clean such a large office? “I sigh every time I come in.”

“I know.”

“My lord, you said you were inspecting today as well?”

“huh. “I heard you do it all week long?”

The other two maids except Sienna started whispering and dusting themselves off.

“Hey, Lira and Laura.”

“huh?”

Sienna approached the two people.

“You can take a rest. There’s not much to clean up anyway. “You can do it alone.”

Cleaning the office in groups of three also meant that the three people had to watch each other to make sure nothing in the office was touched.

“what? no. Then something big happens.”

Of course, Lira and Laura waved their hands, asking what he was talking about. Because if you get caught, it doesn’t end with a beating.

“I am… .”

“huh?”

“I haven’t had any connections since I came here… . Please take a good look at me. I have prepared this. It’s weak, but… .”

Sienna placed a bundle of money in Lira and Laura’s hands. It was military funds obtained from Dink.

Then Lyra and Laura smiled and said.

“This?”

“Please include me in that meeting!”

“Oh my. I thought you were blunt… .”

“Would you like to sit there and rest? “I’ll do all the cleaning!”

“Are you sure?”

“yes! “Don’t you think the sofa there looks really soft?”

“Well, that’s true.”

Sienna lured the two maids to the sofa where they could not see the other side of the desk at all.

The maids took the bundle of money and sat down on the sofa laughing.

“I can’t just accept it like this. But I will watch over you from now on.”

“Thank you.”

“I saw you doing it. “Doing it.”

“Take a break! “We will clean it quickly!”

Sienna nodded very politely. Lyra and Laura started chatting on the sofa with expressions of interest on their faces.

Thinking it was time, Sienna pretended to wipe the desk and went back. He then took out the key to the drawer that the Baron had given him from his pocket.

“Chokkolok.”

“Hold your cough as much as possible. “Splashing spit in the lord’s office is a huge scolding.”

“yes! I covered my mouth! Do not worry. “I’m mopping the floor right now.”

“okay. Oh, more than that, he did something funnier yesterday.”

“really?”

Fortunately, Lira and Laura were almost completely focused on chatting, so Sienna exchanged coughing and the sound of opening a drawer and started searching inside the drawer.

And I found something that looked like a spirit tablet inside.

‘Is this it?’

Inside, something like a seal was also stored. At first glance, it looked like the seal the Baron had mentioned.

Sienna, who hid it inside her body, calmly wiped her forehead and got up from the desk. And by moving the mop diligently in front of Lira and Laura’s gaze, I was soon able to finish cleaning safely.

As a result, the Baron safely ran to the warehouse. Instead of going to the hunting ground with Youngpae, the remaining defense forces were moved. The drivers were shown forged documents.

“I don’t have time to send someone to your Excellency to check! They told me to rush to move relief supplies this morning because of intelligence that the inspector was coming down tomorrow. “Do you want to lose your head if you hesitate?”

“Oh no. “Baron!”

The soldiers fell flat on their faces in response to the threat, and since Yeongpae was Yeongju, the warehouse doors were opened and relief supplies were delivered throughout the city.

“Can you see it?”

“yes.”

“The people will come together and start praising. Then you won’t be able to take away what was given to you. “Because you can’t let the people know that you have something to give, but instead of giving it, you hid it in the warehouse.”

“That’s a good thing.”

“It’s all thanks to you. Thank you so much. So, I will keep my promise too. I’ve arranged for a carriage. If the chase party comes after you, the coachman will probably stop the carriage. So from then on, you’ll have to run away alone, but there’s still some time left before His Excellency returns from hunting, so you’ll be able to gain enough distance! The knights will chase you, so you’ll get caught anyway… .”

“I’m just thankful that I can get out of the city. “From now on, worry about yourself, Baron, not me.”

“I am satisfied because I have kept the family motto. Because that’s everything to me.”

Baron Dink walked forward while saying so. Thanks to the documents forged by Baron Dink, Sienna passed the gate safely and was able to leave for Great City.

Now that they had achieved their wishes, Baron Dink was no longer in their minds. Each side took advantage of the other. So it’s a very neat relationship.

Both of them will die anyway.

There is no point in worrying about each other like that.

Sienna bit her lip as she watched Lutian City moving away.

‘If your brother is still oppressed by the Lord of Dedran… No, even if that is not the case, I absolutely must not cause any inconvenience… ! You must not show yourself. Just one more time before you get caught. Just one last time. When I saw my brother… Before I was caught by Count Lutian and suffered all sorts of hardships… Let’s die. Either you die by drowning in water or you die by biting your tongue. ‘You must never cause trouble to your brother!’

I thought we would never meet again in our lifetime.

But maybe we can meet again. To realize his ideals, to ensure his safety, and to die.

For Sienna, it was much happier than living tomorrow.

So Sienna ran away.

Just as Baron Dink had said, the chase team soon followed.

By the time Sienna ran away from the carriage, she had already arrived in the south-central part of the empire.

The place she landed after jumping out of a moving carriage was Mount Gray.

When Sienna realized that fact, she became even more desperate.

‘Huh. ‘Huh.’

However, after running around all day, her stamina began to deplete, and as she wandered through the forest, she lost her footing and fell off a cliff.

“Aaaah!”

Sienna’s body rolled over and over again. And her body rushed towards the large rock at the edge of the cliff.

Kuuuung-!

It was Sienna’s head that hit the rock, and she soon fell unconscious.
