《TML? IDWH》chapter 52

There was nothing special about the coming-of-age party.
It was just that the nobles, who had become adults, were going to celebrate this event by dancing with delicious food and drinks. And receive the long-awaited brooch from the prince.
As a result, most of the nobles stood around Luna and Antares, eavesdropping on their conversations, this sight was more interesting than the party.
Therefore, Antares, who abused his beauty until the end of the party, got tired and began to unambiguously see off Rosemary.
- Why do you want me to leave? Luna and I must leave together, and you, brother, must leave alone! The moon is my guide! »
- You go to different places.
Antares with one word cooled all the ardor of Rosemary. Since Karen and the other young girls had already gone home, Antares did not pretend to be nice and rudely replied to Rosemary.
- BUT? What do you mean? Actually, we are going to the same place, and Luna is going to her home, right?"
- Not. I'm going to the Rose Mansion. So come home on your own."
"What? What are you talking about?! In the middle of the night?!" Rosemary froze in shock, mouth wide open.
Luna also frowned at the unexpected news.
"Why did you decide to come to my house?"
- Why not? Besides, I have documents for you, so I'll have to come in anyway."
- Documentation?"
- Documents for mines.
"Oh, did you bring them?"
- Yes. I also took reports on the results of current work and future policies. I think it would be better if you review them yourself."
"Then we should go together." Luna decided, realizing that it was business related.
Very shocked by this, Rosemary grabbed Luna's hand, as if asking why she was doing this to her.
"You're my escort today...!" You must be responsible for me to the end!"
"Don't worry, we need to talk business."
- Not..."
Rosemary didn't like it at all, she just hated imagining Luna and Antares together.
She could not accept this and decided to offer an alternative.
"Then I'll go with you too!"
- Together?"
"Do you want us all to go to my house together?"

When asked about this, Rosemary nodded with a satisfied face.
At this, the face of the maid Rosemary suddenly darkened. Today was the only day she was allowed to rest. She did not want to spend the night in someone else's mansion.
"Rosemary... Shouldn't we get permission from your father first?"
- Everything is good. Now that I'm an adult, you can do whatever you want."
Rosemary looked worried about what her father would say, but she was even more worried that Luna and Antares would leave without her.
It was an unexpected guest, but Luna did not stop her and agreed to this.
- Good."
- Thanks."
Rosemary immediately clung to Luna and slightly pushed Antares away.
"Now, we have the same destination, but we will go in different carriages."
-..."
It didn't matter much, but Antares didn't agree to Rosemary's proposal.
- It's necessary? We can go together."
"... Do you want to leave your carriage and ride in mine?"
- What's wrong with riding in a family carriage. Am I still part of the family?
"You left her, didn't you?"
"We still have one blood that won't change, I will always be a member of the family."
No matter how many friends of the nobles had left the palace, many more young nobles were listening to the conversation between brother and sister.
Luna did not know how serious their fight was, but she was embarrassed, and she finally broke down and took Rosemary's hand.
- Rosemary, let's not swear here, but go back to the mansion and eat Emma's signature snacks. Good?"
Luna grabbed her hand and tried to convince her. After some time, Rosemary, accompanied by Luna, got into the carriage.
There was not enough space, so the maid Rosemary and Laura moved into Antares's carriage.
"Inconvenient. Very uncomfortable..."
Perhaps because no one was watching, the two showed their emotions to the fullest without hiding their feelings. To be precise, Rosemary looked angrily at Antares, and he smiled maliciously.
Luna tried to recall a story from their childhood to lighten the tense atmosphere.
- What were you like as a child? For example, when I was very small, I spoke poorly and could not pronounce some letters.

Luna decided to remind them of their childhood, because usually brothers and sisters begin to quarrel in adolescence.
- She was worse than a dog, she bit me as soon as her first tooth erupted. And when my mother asked me to give her a doll, in honor of reconciliation, she threw it in my face.
"I don't remember, but I think my brother thought I was a monster..."
The results of Luna's idea were terrible. The two seemed to have a bad relationship from early childhood.
- Enough. I feel sorry for both of you. Let's drive home in silence."
Luna waved her hand at all attempts to reconcile them. The atmosphere in the carriage grew even darker.
Fortunately, the castle and the mansion were not far from each other, so the crew arrived at their destination in the shortest possible time. Luna was very happy that they came.
Rosemary, holding Luna's hand tightly as if to demonstrate their friendship, exited the carriage, glaring at Antares angrily.
"Yes, it seems I'm not here, Luna's lover."
Ignoring Antares' taunt, she took Luna's hand and entered the mansion.
"Why isn't anyone meeting us?" Rosemary asked, tilting her head.
Rosemary began to look around the empty hall on the ground floor.
- What do you mean?"
- Servants. Nobody comes down to say hello? Even the butler?
Hearing Rosemary's voice, some of the workers who were on the first floor came over and greeted her.
"Do you really need to be greeted?"
Rosemary blinked several times before answering Luna's question.
- Umm... No, but usually when I came home, everyone met me in the lobby. They don't welcome you like that?"
- Not."
The only time Luna was greeted like this was on the first day of her move. Of course, she was busy all the time, but she thought that it was not necessary to meet her like that every time, so everything was fine.
Everyone seems to be busy. Rosemary, let's get dressed first and have some hot tea. Laura, can you ask Emma to make snacks?"
"Yes, lady."
- Antares, you can use any room on the second floor. I will look at the documents tomorrow, so rest today."
"So you won't even offer me tea?"
Rosemary's expression became fierce after Antares' question, she decided that she would intervene until the very end.
Luna did not know how long their quarrel would last, so she shook her head, but at that time, Royer appeared upstairs. He asked Luna with a slightly nervous face.
"Something happened? Has Antares been caught by the guards? Or did the knights come after him...?"
- BUT?"
Luna tilted her head and smiled at the sudden appearance, while Antares looked at Royer with a frown.
"Did you do what I said?" Antares asked.
- What did you do...? Oh! It's not my house, I can't fire the servants at will?"
- What do you mean?"
When Luna asked for an answer, Antares explained what happened when he arrived at her mansion.
- Oh, damn it. Did he tell information about his mistress to an unknown person?"
Although it was Antares, the worker could not be told about the plans of his mistress. Goosebumps ran down Luna's back as she thought about the fact that in place of Antares there could be her ill-wishers.
"Do you remember who this servant was?"
- I don't know the name, but I remember the face. But he left work a little before I arrived."
- Left work?
- Yes. He said he doesn't live here."
"Don't all the servants live in the mansion?"
It wasn't that the servants were required to live with her, it was just that Luna didn't know that anyone lived outside the mansion.
- This is weird. As far as I know, all the servants used to live here... I'm pretty sure of it."
Said Rosemary, who not so long ago was the owner of the mansion. She was as surprised as Luna.
- Yes. I want to see the butler."
His duties included managing the entire mansion, including the servants. It was clear that without the permission of the butler or Luna, the worker could not live outside the mansion.
Antares, who had been listening to their conversation and understanding the situation, brushed his hair without saying a word. With a very cold face, Royer swallowed dryly.

First Draft
Taking care of someone was hard. Harder still when the only job you can find is a graveyard shift at your brother's school, which is apparently haunted by a man claiming to be the devil. Oh, no, how horrific. I'm so scared. So, terribly, horribly, atrociously scared. Whatever shall I do? My life as a janitor is a simple one, and that clingy asshole won't leave me alone, so forgive me if I don't put enough gravitas into the situation. The only really scary prospect to this whole thing is that the KKK is in town, and I really don't want to deal with their bull. The gang activity is enough, why do we need to have an all-out war on school grounds? That will be too much for me to clean as a poor, lonely graveyard janitor. Old Summary: My gaze raised, and I observed the darkened face of the ghost, only visible feature being glowing red eyes. They faded into darkness, and I thought the offer over even as the body seemed to grow heavier in my arms. My first friend since this whole thing started, a few years ago. My brother needed to survive. That didn't mean I did. "What's the price?"
