When Rowena wanted to find maids and knights, Sir Damian quickly offered himself to help find them. At that moment Sir Damian immediately ordered his housekeeper to select the maids in the Squella residence and choose the best and most competent to be sent to the Rowena residence.
After being selected the head of the Squella household sent fifty maids to the Rowena residence. However, the next day Rowena returned half of the maid sent for her. She didn't want too many people in his house.
At first, the servants who were sent to Rowena's residence were afraid because they had to serve a master like Rowena. Moreover, rumors have spread widely that Rowena killed King Vintana and his men viciously at the victory party. They were afraid that if they made a mistake their fate would be the same as the people who were killed by Rowena.
When they first got there, they were immediately directed by Cecille to a mansion that was specially occupied by servants. The servants were amazed when they entered the mansion because when they were still at the Squella residence they lived together with Sir Damian in a room that could be considered quite simple. But in the current Rowena residence, they were instead given a single mansion as a place to live.
After working there for a few weeks, they realized that Rowena was not the type of employer to be difficult to serve. Unlike what their friends who worked in the manor's residence who were married and had families said, serving Rowena was very easy. Because Rowena is a very independent type of employer. When she wakes up, Rowena will immediately make her own bed. Then she will also bathe and dress himself. She only needed the help of the servants when she was going to a party or to the palace and only when there were guests.
The waiters were practically very rarely interacted directly with Rowena. Only Cecille and Alicia interacted with Rowena the most. However, one day Rowena suddenly came to the servants' mansion with Cecille and Alicia.
All the maids immediately gathered in front of the mansion's door and greeted the three of them while bowing half of their bodies.
"Welcome, Your Highness the Grand Duchess."
"Hey, never mind. Stop bowing your body. Your faces don't need to be that pale either. I'm not here to punish or execute you. I'm just bored and came here to have a casual chat with you guys," said Rowena frustrated seeing the pale faces of the maids.
"Our master this one is really very strange. Where in the world is there a master who approaches his subordinates for a casual chat," Cecille whispered in a slightly loud voice in Alicia's ear.
"Looks like she's still not aware of the rumors circulating about him being vile and cruel. How could anyone believe that she came here just to chat and not to slaughter the maids here," Alicia replied in a whisper.
Rowena turned and glared at her loyal subordinates and shouted, "Can you talk about me in a smaller voice? Your voices are very audible to me. How can you gossip about the person who saved your life like that?"
Alicia and Cecille just laughed in satisfaction at Rowena's reaction. They both really like to insult their employer when they have free time.
"Let's all go to the living room and also don't forget to prepare tea and snacks for me and all of you," said Rowena.
Five maids rushed into the kitchen to prepare snacks and tea as Rowena had said. A few minutes later they came back with some teapots, teacups and snacks. Rowena ordered her maids and Cecille and Alicia to sit with her on the sofa.
Rowena invites them all for tea time together. They couldn't help but do what Rowena asked them to do.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duchess, forgive me for being presumptuous. What exactly are you trying to do here? Did we do something wrong that you want to separate our heads from our bodies?" said one of the maids shakily.
"She's right isn't it that most noble ladies have tea time with other noble ladies and not with the maids," Cecille said.
"Cecille is right, Your Majesty the Grand Duchess. Moreover, you are the second most powerful woman in this empire after the empress. Why are you even having tea time with commoners like us?" said Alicia who also joined in the conversation.
Rowena who had been sipping the tea brewed by her maid placed her teacup gracefully on the table. "Why should I exhaust myself in a battle of thought and speech with the other ladies and gentlemen? It's a tiring thing and a waste of time. Wouldn't it be better for me to have tea time and relax with my subordinates? After all, before becoming Grand Duchess I was also a commoner. like you guys. So it's free for me to have tea time with anyone regardless of their peerage."
"And also stop calling me Her Majesty the Grand Duchess when there are no guests. Just call me Rowena. If you can't afford it, you can call me Lady Rowena," Rowena added.
The conversation continued to flow flawlessly. Over time the waiters got comfortable with Rowena's friendly and very friendly personality, very different from what had been rumored so far. The dark night sky and raindrops accompanied their very pleasant tea time that they didn't realize the time.
Suddenly a gatekeeper of the Rowena residence entered the servants' mansion with a gasp.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duchess, there is Crown Prince Odelette waiting for you at the gate with a body already drenched in the rain. I already told you that you are not having guests. But he still insisted on standing under the rain until you came out to meet him," reported the gatekeeper.
Rowena got up from the couch and ruffled her hair in frustration. "Oh shit, Diego! Even though there is a lot of time but why does he have to visit me at my leisure time like this anyway."
"Open the gate for that man!" Rowena's orders. The gatekeeper immediately ran out of the servants' mansion and carried out Rowena's orders.
"I need four people to help Diego clean his body and change clothes.Then you guys just take him to one of the rooms in my mansion!" Rowena ordered the servants.
Rowena walked away from the servants' mansion. Before leaving she said, "I'm so happy to have had a wonderful time just now with you guys. See you later."
Rowena entered her mansion. She immediately walked into her room. As the host, she did not care about the presence of guests in her residence. She immediately lay down on her soft bed. Rowena closed her eyes for a moment.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Diego's face that was inches away from her. What's worse, that one man is still shirtless.
"What are you doing here naked like that, Diego?" Rowena narrowed her eyes and looked at Diego with a sneer.
"I only...."
