I Left the Time-limited Villainous Duke Without Saving Him - Chapter 36.1

“Excuse me, Miss, but the guest…….”

“Laura, what did I tell you to say to guests who came without an appointment?”

A guest who came without an appointment. Although Mceuena was said to be going through a crisis recently, what kind of treatment is this?

Christine is an S-class guide. It means that Janus and Gladio will have to fight over the position of her groom someday.

‘I’m not a neighborhood mutt that people can meet out of nowhere!’

It’s a given that guests who came without an appointment should be sent back. Even Laura must have looked down on Christine for running up to her and asking what to do.

Christine’s nerves were on high alert and reached Laura, who was still lingering outside the door.

“What are you doing? Send them back!”

“We, well, that… miss…. He’s waiting in the parlor…….”

She needs to whip the maid. Then, like Sophie, she’ll kick her out barefoot in the dead of winter. This time, she won’t let Yelena secretly give the maid money.

Making up her mind, Christine opened the door herself and faced the maid’s frightened face.

“Who.”

“Mis, Mister Peter…….”

Ah. Is it time for that again?

Christine then raised her sharp eyes.

“Come in. Finish dressing me up.”

Laura, who entered the chaotic room, dressed her Miss without uttering a loud breath.

At the count of ten, Christine will change into a good and sweet child. She becomes a charming and cheerful girl who is loved by everyone.

One two three four five six seven eight nine ten.

Her pink eyes, dazed like burnt ash, glowed with a lovely energy. The child’s voice became sweeter than the fluttering petals of springtime.

“Are you done, Laura?”

“Yes, Miss…….”

“Thank you so much for today. I love you.”

Christine smiled brightly at the lady’s maid who had helped her dress up and left the room.

As she entered the parlor where Mr. Peter Koss, a gentry, was waiting. Peter, the president of an up-and-coming pharmaceutical company, bowed his head and offered her a cordial flattery.

“Miss Christine! Today you are really dazzling like the sun that has just risen. You seem to have grown taller.”

“Don’t make fun of me, Peter! We saw each other 15 days ago!”

Christine’s lip pouted out, but she still has a lovely face.

Even if the gentry class did not have a title given by the World Tree, they were distinctly different from the common people. Clever Christine understood the difference very well.

He may seem like an ordinary merchant, but Mr. Peter Koss is becoming a central force in the gentry class.

He showed remarkable results in developing medicines specialized for guides and sentinels. Products made by processing the medicine and then adding them to tea leaves or cookies were the most popular among them.

One of Mr. Peter Koss’ greatest achievements in recent years was rescuing Christine from a fever.

‘I thought it was the growing pains that an outstanding S-class guide must go through.’

Christine’s fever subsided as if her fever was washed away as she brewed tea every day with the tea leaves that Peter Koss handed over every 15 days. Had she known the efficacy of tea leaves a little earlier, Christine would have been able to attend the princess’s long-awaited coronation.

Then she would have been able to meet Duke Janus and Duke Gladio.

‘That rat-like commoner wouldn’t have caught the Duke’s eye.’

Christine, who had reflexively gripped her skirt, took control of her mind.

What is past is past. Let’s think no more.

But Mr. Peter Koss, who knew nothing, innocently poked at Christine’s temper.

“The tea party being held at Duke Mattia’s residence is very lively among the young ladies of the capital, and of course the dazzling Miss Christine is also going, right?”

The servants’ complexion turned blue in an instant.

To talk about Duke Mattia residence’s tea party was a taboo in Mceuena’s mansion. It had been taboo since Laura was slapped badly by Christine half an hour ago.

Christine responded gracefully, savoring the rosemary tea in front of her.

“No, unfortunately I haven’t been feeling well lately, so I asked Miss Victoria for her understanding.”

She pretended to be invited by Victoria, but refused. Even this level of lying to save Christine’s face would be passed on by Lady Victoria.

“Ah, yes. Miss Christine shouldn’t even have a cold. You will become the talented person of this empire in the future, right? Of course, you should reserve your stamina in the winter. Socializing during the socializing season, and relaxing in the winter. You are very wise. Hahaha.”

If only he would leave right after giving the tea leaves, but the man’s frivolous mouth just didn’t know how to stop.
