"What is it now..."

The butler was about to ask a question, but Luna again slapped Carlton on the cheek with all her might.

(*Slap-!)

"Wait...!"

Luna slapped his cheek once more with all her might.

He was hit three times without even letting him say a word, Luna raised her hand again as if she wanted to slap him again.

- What it is!"

Carlton could not stand it and tried to grab her hand, but Antares, who had gone down the stairs in a hurry, grabbed Carlton's hand.

Who are you raising your hand to?

- Ouch!"

Antares not only stopped him, but squeezed his hand so that Carlton screamed and fell to the floor.

Royer's face, which had comforted Laura, paled at the sight before him. The rest of the servants were also frightened, and stood gaping in horror.

Luna, who was looking at Carlton, who was twisting in pain, picked up the documents he had thrown and read them angrily.

"The things I did in the morning: Washing work clothes - 14 pieces, washing blankets - 13 pieces, washing pillows - 15 pieces, cleaning the corridors and the hall on the ground floor, extracting drinking water ... "

Useless reports continued. The servants, who knew what this meant, began to look at each other.

After reading all the documents that had been kept for a long time, Luna crumpled them up and threw them at Carlton.

- You didn't like it so much when I told you to report to me? Is that why you decided to report every little thing going on in this mansion? Am I some kind of joke to you? Or did you choose to treat me this way because I come from a small family!?"

After these words, Antares and Royer remembered what happened last night. The butler politely replied that from now on he would report on everything, and would not stop doing it. It must have been a sign that he was going to torture Luna.

- Or do you mean to say that you can belittle other workers who just came to you? The servants who lived in the family of a poor baron would never have been treated like this in their entire lives. Why did you do this to Emma!?"

Carlton tried to justify himself.

- Not! I did just what you told me! After all, you ordered reports to be made, and I presented them!

- Did I tell you to scare Emma? Did I tell you to do whatever you want? I even know that you secretly gathered all the servants and ordered them to ignore me!?"

"I just thought the hostess was uncomfortable with us and asked them not to bother you too much!"

"So you still dare to come up with such excuses?"

Luna slapped Carlton on the cheek again, letting him know that his excuse didn't work.

No matter how much he justified himself, it didn't change the fact that he acted like the owner of the mansion without considering Luna's opinion at all.

- Lady!

When Luna raised her hand to slap Carlton on the cheek again, Emma, ​​who appeared late in the hall, put her arms around Luna's waist.

Her hands were still ice cold. Unable to contain her anger, Luna glared at the kitchen workers who were watching.

- Carlton and all the servants. Pack your bags and leave now. I don't even want to see you."

Luna was silent for a moment, but then continued speaking as she looked at the other servants gathered in the hall.

- You're all fired. I don't want servants who don't know who's boss in the mansion, so get out."

The servant could not believe her words. There were even some who disagreed with Luna.

"I didn't do anything, why do you say you're going to fire me...?!"

- Do you know that indifference is also punishable? Why didn't you say you knew about it? Who the hell is your master? If I hadn't found out, you would have continued to deceive me!"

The observer was an accomplice in the eyes of the moon. If they knew Carlton was doing something wrong, they should have told Luna.

- I'm not to blame for anything! Ladies, you didn't forget that when you signed the contract for the mansion, that our employment contract was also extended irrevocably!?"

Carlton, who was still in pain, said that he should not be fired so suddenly, threatening Luna.

After all, he believed in his contract. Contract signed for an indefinite period.

If they were tried to be fired for no reason, they should have been paid a huge severance pay.

The fuse of the moon flared up even more, seeing that Carlton did not admit his guilt until the very end.

"Don't you know that I can fire you if the reason for the dismissal is related to you!?"

Of course, if there was a reason for the dismissal, Luna would not have to pay the compensation.

That was the law of the empire.

Carlton once again denied his innocence.

Again, it's not my fault! If you fire me, you can file a formal complaint against the contract!"

(*Clap*)

Antares, struggling to contain his irritation, standing behind Carlton, could not stand it and kicked him in the back.

Unbuttoning his shirt and rolling up his sleeves, he kicked Carlton again.

- Ai!

Antares was angry with the butler. If he hit him with all his might, his life would be in danger with just one strong blow.

When Antares seriously tried to use violence, Royer hurriedly ran up to him.

- Antares! Please calm down! Please! You will kill him!"

However, if it was that easy, Antares' infamy wouldn't have spread so widely.

The moon came up and stood in front of Antares. She didn't want him to be a killer either.

- Stop!

Thanks to the Moon's intervention, Antares, who was about to clench his fist, got frightened and stopped.

Luna, who calmed down Antares easily, made a hand gesture to the servant who couldn't even blink because everyone was terrified.

- I'll give you an hour, so leave now. After that, if there are those who remain, they will be legally sent to prison. If you like it, stay, if not, then pack your bags and leave."

There was no choice. Meanwhile, an embittered Carlton struck his final blow.

"You think you can get away with beating me!?"

- Will you complain? Even if he beats you to death, at best he will be fined. Do you think that I will stop him all the time? For lying to my face, tormenting Emma.

No matter how poor the family was, the nobles remained nobles. Even if they beat commoners, they got away with it.

And the fact that he tried to deceive Luna was a greater crime than when Luna raised her hand to Carlton. As long as there was inequality in status, the result was known.

The moon, having said the last word, took Emma and Antares by the hand and went into the glass greenhouse.

Among the weeping workers about to pack their luggage, Carlton thought of the marquis who had hired him and his close friend, the butler.

He wanted to ask them for help. It was clear that they would help if Carlton spoke of the injustice that had happened to him.

***

- Lady... I'm sorry. If I had behaved well from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened...!"

When Emma covered her face with her hands and burst into tears, Luna looked at her in surprise.

- Emma, ​​Emma - you're a victim. Why do you blame yourself? The people who created this situation are just rubbish."

- I'm really sorry..."

"It is I who must apologize for not noticing all this as the owner."

Emma, ​​startled by Luna's apology, hastily shook her head.

- Stop talking about it. I fired them all, that's all. From now on, only people close to me will surround me, and we will live in peace.

Luna didn't want to talk about them anymore. Just the thought of it made her so angry that she thought her head was about to explode.

If they filed a lawsuit, it would be enough to justify them by the force of law, status and power. It was much more effective than being angry in front of Emma.

Looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be sorry at all. If you get sued anyway, wouldn't it be better to deal with him somewhere else?"

Antares said, getting up from his seat, Luna took his hand again and sat him back down.

- Don't do anything. I hit him, you hit him. And if you leave everything as it is, you can become the main character."

- What do you mean?"

Frowning, Antares asked what Luna meant, suddenly talking about some main character.

Luna hurriedly looked for an excuse, and then nudged Royer with her elbow.

- Don't you see Royer's face? Every time you get into these situations."

All eyes turned to Royer. But he himself sat with a thoughtful air, as if he had not heard their conversations.

"Look at his unhappy face."

After Luna's harsh criticism, Royer woke up and responded.

- Not. I just thought I was good at Antares. But Luna...

"Your palms are bright red, they're almost bleeding, are you okay?" Royer asked, pointing to one of her hands.

As if those words were a signal flare, a terrible pain shot out of his palm. Luna, whose face was bright red, grabbed her hand without knowing what to do.

- Oh, how painful! It hurts, it hurts!"

- Oh, miss!

- Laura! Hurry, bring cold water!"

Meanwhile, Royer smiled as he saw Antares in a hurry looking for something cold. He couldn't believe his eyes, but he was glad of it.

"Don't smile, bring water."

Antares got angry, so Royer followed Laura and hurriedly left the greenhouse.
