I Won’t Pick Up The Trash I Threw Away Again

r, who came to his senses late, hurriedly looked back at Kalian, but Kalian had already disappeared from his sight.

 

He chased him in the direction he disappeared just in case but found none of his gorgeous blue hair.

 

“Arghh! You have so many things to do.
What will happen if you disappear like this!”

 

Ver sat down on the cold marble floor, crying as he pulled his hair out.

 

The attendants, who were passing by silently, went their own way without giving Ver a glance as if it was a familiar scene.  

 

*****

 

A few days ago, after a heavy rain, hot days came.

 

To avoid the scorching sun, Leila carried a parasol, and Sarah, who followed her, wore a hood.

 

She wore a hood even when it was this hot.

 

“Are you sure you’ll be okay? We can use the parasol together.”

 

Leila asked Sarah because she was worried.

 

“I’m okay!”

 

Sarah replied, smiling vigorously. 

 

“This is nothing compared to the heat I felt at Williot estate.”

 

“That’s true, but it’s still hot.”

 

“I’m really okay.
And since parasols are exclusive to noble ladies, how dare I use it when I’m just a maid?”

 

“There’s no law prohibiting maids from using parasols, so what?”

 

“That’s true, but… Ah! Isn’t that the shop that My Lady was talking about?”

 

Sarah, who was looking for something to change the subject, pointed to the building in front of her and shouted.

On the high-quality wooden signboard, ‘Naveya shop’ was written in large letters.

 

Leila smiled and nodded.  

 

“That’s right.
Sarah, I’ll be back after doing some business, so please wait for a while while drinking something cool at the cafe, okay?”

 

Leila gave Sarah one gold.

 

Sarah nodded, clutching the gold coin as if it were a treasure. 

 

“Okay.
I will wait patiently without going anywhere.”

 

“All right.
I’ll be right back.”

 

Leila patted Sarah’s head and went into the Naveya shop.

 

It was when Sarah, who was staring at Leila’s back, turned around.

 

“Hi.”

 

Someone blocked Sarah’s path.

 

He was a man with black hair like Leila.

 

At first, she thought he was a robber, but seeing the clothes he was wearing was of high quality, it didn’t seem to be the case.

 

Then, who is he?

 

He looks like a noble…

 

Sarah scanned her eyes on him.

 

As if Sarah was cute, the man smiled so wide that his dimples were in full shape.
Then he took out a plaque with a family crest from his chest and showed it to her.

 

“Andante Thebesa, will you know who I am?”

 

A lily, the crest of the Count of Thebesa, was drawn on the plaque.

 

She had never met any other family members other than Countess Thebesa, but she knew their names.

 

Andante was Leila’s second brother.

 

When Sarah realized that the person in front of her was the family of the owner she was serving, she hurriedly bowed her head. 

 

“Ho, how dare I not recognize the Lord… Ple, please forgive me!”

 

“No.
It’s your first time seeing me, so you might not recognize me.”

 

If it had been another nobleman, she would have been yelled at for not recognizing him, but not Andante.

 

Rather, he smiled sweetly saying it was okay.

  

Leila had a friendly personality, and Andante was like that too.
It seemed that Leila’s thoughtful and kind personality was running in the family.

 

Of course, Countess Thebesa seemed to be an exception.

 

“If you are looking for My Lady, she just entered the Naveya shop.” 

 

“I know.
But seeing her here at this hour, it looks like she didn’t go to work today, right?”

 

“Yes.
She said she’s on leave today.”

 

“Hmm.”  

 

Andante snorted and tilted his head slightly.

“A leave for a diligent kid like Leila? It’s a little surprising.”

 

It was the same for Sarah, so she replied, agreeing with him.

 

“She must have something to do.” 

 

“And you don’t know what she does, do you?”

 

Sarah nodded.

 

“Thanks.”

 

Andante held out 10 golds with a brief thank you.

 

Oh my gosh.
Not 1 gold, but 10 golds? 

 

It is several times my monthly salary.

 

Sarah waved her hand in surprise.

 

“I, I can’t accept such a large amount of money.”

 

“Just take it.
I’m giving it to you because you take such good care of our Leila.”

 

When Leila’s name was mentioned, her heart was shaken not to accept it.

 

Andante smiled brightly and drove a wedge in.

 

“It’s Leila’s birthday in a month, don’t you want to give her a proper gift?”

 

Sarah, who was still worried about what to do on Leila’s birthday, took the money carefully.

 

With this money, she wouldn’t only be able to give a decent gift on her birthday, but she would also be able to get quality meat, cheese, and wine.

 

“Thank you.”

  

“By the way, don’t tell Leila that you met me.”

 

“Yes? Why?”

 

Leila would like it if she knew her family was here though.

 

“Well, Leila would hate it if she found out that I gave you money.
And I also want to give Leila a surprise birthday gift.”

 

Sarah, who fully understood what Andante was saying, nodded. 

 

“I understand.
I will keep it a secret that I met the Lord today.”

 

“Thanks.” 

 

“Me too, thank you very much.”

 

Thanks to you, I was able to lessen my worries about Leila’s birthday.

 

Sarah expressed her heartfelt thanks and went into the cafe.

 

Andante, who was left alone, stroked his chin and looked at the Naveya shop.

 

“This is definitely… the shop that exported goods to Natsha Kingdom.”

 

It’s not a mere coincidence that Leila, who was leaving for the diplomatic meeting with Natsha Kingdom tomorrow, visited here.

 

“I wish you all the best, Leila.”

 

That way, something will fall on me too, right?

 

A mean grin appeared on his handsome face.
