《TML? IDWH》chapter 59

After some time, the carriage arrived at its destination. The domestic help desk was located in the busy city center, so the surrounding area was a bit crowded.
- Hand.
Taking Antares' outstretched hand, Luna left the carriage and entered the bureau.
Then she saw a woman kneeling on the floor.
- Everything is fine! All I need is a little more pay! I am begging you!"
- No, no again! The landlady will not be able to pay you such a salary!"
- Please! Just tell her something! My mom is sick and I need medicine!"
- How many times can I repeat?! I cant!"
The office staff were busy with this woman, so Luna coughed and got their attention.
- You look busy. I came here to find servants."
- Oh sorry. We will help you soon.... Come out!"
When she tried to escort the woman out, she suddenly caught on the hem of Luna's dress.
"Oh, noble young lady! If you're looking for a maid, take me! I have enough strength to chop wood and clean the stables!"
She didn't seem to be lying, judging by the fact that no matter how hard the staff tried to escort her out, she didn't move.
Antares grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her away from the moon until she tore her dress.
"What should I do with her, drive her away?"
Luna, who looked into the woman's desperate eyes for a moment, shook her head.
- Not. She says that she is good at chopping wood, and she can even clean the stables, it's worth listening to her. After all, I'm here to find my own servants."
In fact, Luna heard about her sick mother and that she needed medicine, but Luna pretended not to know about it.
"I was just looking for a coachman, can you drive the carriage?"
"... The carriage... I have never driven it, but if I need to learn, I can do it in no time!"
The woman replied looking at Antares as if he knew the truth.
- Good. In any case, everything can be learned. My conditions are simple. Don't hide anything from me and get along with everyone. If possible, I will hire you."
"...!"
The woman's eyes widened when she said that she would be hired on very light terms.

At the same time, the employee who had tried to kick her out right before interrupted their conversation with a smile.
"I was just about to recommend her, but you already made your choice!"
- ... "
Luna, who was easily persuaded, soon asked for other servants to be recommended to her.
- I need fifteen servants. Please recommend only those who have a good character. If they start "riots", I'll fire them. The interview will take place at my mansion."
- As you say! Don't worry, I'm good at them. By the way, what salary do you offer...?"
- Five gold.
After Luna's words, there was deathly silence in the bureau, she named a price twice the average salary.
- Get ready, because I will make you work hard. I am a very terrible hostess. More than ten servants ran away from me in tears. If they don't work, I'll be merciless."
Contrary to her words, Antares grinned his brilliant smile, showing that Luna was joking, but the woman nodded with a very serious face.
***
From the next day after applying to the bureau, people lined up for an interview. All because of the big salary promised by the Moon.
Moreover, after the coming-of-age party, new rumors circulated around the capital. Rumors that the well-known history of the Moon's past are not very reliable.
They spread to so many people in an instant, and, unlike the court, it was impossible to stop them. Because of this, Fersen's position was completely confused.
- Damn it! What have you done to stop these rumors!"
- Wow.
The duke's butler sighed softly as he glanced at the decorations Fersen had smashed against the wall.
Fersen was no longer obsessed with Luna Pales, but now he has become even more violent than his father.
- Sorry. I closed the mouths of those who watched the process, but Baroness Pales herself talked too much ... "
It was not easy to prevent what had already happened. There would still be a chance if there were evidence of his innocence, but after the court issued a verdict, this was impossible.
"Then you should have shut Luna's mouth!"
The butler quietly bowed his head to Fersen. He cursed inside himself for being angry at Fersen, although he was the one who was responsible for all these rumors.
If Fersen had not forcibly held the baron, this would not have happened, or at least he would not have sent that letter with a confession.

But he couldn't say that, so the butler calmly accepted Fersen's anger. This is not surprising, since this has often been repeated in recent times.
Besides, if he waits a bit, someone who can stop Fersen will appear. The one who with a good heart will accept his wrath.
- Fersen!
Not surprisingly, after a while, Seira entered Fersen's office. She was beautiful as always, going up to Fersen, she gently hugged him.
"My dear Seira."
Then Fersen's anger subsided. Although he wasn't as obsessed with her as Luna, it was Seira who stole his heart.
Thanks to her, Fersen calmed down, and the butler, having greeted Seira, left the office.
When there were only two of them left, Seira gently stroked Fersen's cheek. It was a reminder of how angry he had been before she came.
- Things are going well?"
- Yes. I think we will be able to attract some of Antares' best clients in the near future."
In response, Fersen showed Seira several papers.
- All thanks to you. It was you who contacted the Marquis's family."
- It was easy. The deal was completed thanks to the fact that Fersen fulfilled all the conditions well."
"However, it would be quite difficult if you didn't help me."
After being told that she was helpful, Seira's eyes sparkled. Although Fersen was more worried than before, it was very nice to hear compliments from him.
- I will always help you. Just talk to me."
Fersen smiled, kissing her briefly on the forehead.
"Then I'd like you to bring back those who didn't make a deal." I'm still missing a lot. I want to eliminate Antares Summit as soon as possible."
His former softness was gone, and a somewhat creepy smile appeared. But it was enough for Seira that Fersen was by her side.
- I will do it."

Within a few days, Luna had no problem interviewing and hiring people she liked.
- How do you like them? Do you like it?
Emma answered Luna's question with a very happy face.
- Yes. They look great."
- Laura?
- I like it too. They make a good impression. Having a lot of experience will definitely help the mansion."
Emma and Laura's permission has been obtained. Luna, who wrote down the name of the twelfth candidate, wrote a letter saying that she no longer needed to send servants for an interview.
Initially, they were going to hire fifteen people, but they reinstated three of the dismissed servants, who, like Emma, were bullied and afraid to say anything, so Luna decided to forgive them.
Fortunately or unfortunately, there was a gardener among them, so Luna was happy.
"Please take this to the bureau."
Yes, mistress.
The servant received the letter and left the office. Luna lay on a soft sofa and enjoyed peace. It was a good day.
After dealing with the bad butler and servants, Emma and Laura are happier. Besides meeting good people, Luna thought that Antares would be stuck in the mansion for a long time, but he left with the coachman.
"There is nothing happier than this."
"I have so many documents to check, but... is it okay to be so happy?"
"It seems that the writer of the original used to hate Luna. But now everything seems to be in order. The crisis is still slowly passing.
"Now is the right time."
- Lady! You've got a letter!"
- ... "
Laura knocked on the door and told her some unexpected news. Luna thought about who could be the author of this letter, then she asked who the sender was.
Who sent him?
- Miss Rosemary.
If it was a letter from Rosemary, the risk was close to zero. She was the most harmless and helpful person Luna knew.
Luna calmly opened the letter and slowly began to read it. In the letter, Rosemary asked if Luna was doing well, and then asked if she could visit the mansion.
"Do you always just come here and now suddenly write a letter?"
"Even if I don't like it, you will still come. Not that I didn't like it. My doors have always been open to Rosemary. After all, she was my only friend."
"Will Miss Rosemary visit you?" Laura asked with a wide smile.
To this, Luna continued to read the letter and replied.
- Yes. She wants to come with her parents. So she asks permission."
-... What? Parents?"
"Umm...?"
The moon froze, rereading this line again.
"Parents...?"
