章 6: EP 6
"She's usually well-behaved."
Duke Sorfel, who had already closed his heart to her after she caused trouble wherever she went, tarnishing the family's reputation, did not believe her words.
"First of all…"
I need to win over Duke Sorfel's heart. No matter what that bastard Ravi does, I must ensure that the filth doesn't splash onto me.
"But how?"
He must be feeling utterly disappointed by now.
[Hey.]
"She's not even my real daughter."
If a biological daughter behaved like that, she would be cast out; how much more so for a stepdaughter with no blood relation who was ruining the family's reputation?
[Can't you hear me?]
"I wouldn't blame him."
Why would anyone fight with other noble ladies?
[Look at me.]
"Especially not in a crowded party."
[Hey, can you hear me? You are listening, right?]
"Is there any good way?"
Should I go and kneel down to beg?
[I definitely made eye contact with you last time. You can see me, right?]
"Miss! So what? What will you do if you can see me?"
It's already driving me crazy!
Camilla finally reacted to the old man who had been approaching her and speaking to her continuously for some time.
"I was trying to ignore you until the end!"
With so many thoughts swirling in her mind, it was hard to keep ignoring him as he chattered on beside her.
[Ah… indeed!]
The old man in a chef's outfit, Ferrol, trembled as if he were in shock.
"I'm not doing anything."
Seeing Ferrol looking at her with such an emotional gaze, Camilla quickly drew a line. There was nothing to gain from listening to such beings.
"I won't relay messages or solve problems for you… I won't indulge in your wishes."
"What am I supposed to do?"
How could she endure the madness of having to use her wits to grant the wishes of ghosts? It was mentally and physically exhausting.
Ignoring them as much as possible was the best strategy.
[Do… do I really appear to you?]
"I'm not doing it; I can't do it."
[How fascinating! How fascinating! You can really see me! You can hear my voice too?]
He's not listening.
Watching the old man excitedly ramble on without acknowledging her words, Camilla shook her head slightly.
"This isn't the time for this."
Camilla cut off her connection with him. Soon enough, she might end up wandering like that ghost. She had to find a way to win over Duke Sorfel…
"Ugh! I don't even know what the duke likes!"
Camilla didn't have many points of contact with the duke. The only times they faced each other were when she got into trouble and was scolded.
Naturally, she had no idea what he liked or what pleased him.
[Duke's preferences?]
At that moment, Ferrol's voice came through again. He had moved closer to Camilla and smiled warmly.
[I know exactly what the duke likes.]
"...!"
[I've been working here since our duke was a baby.]
Camilla, who had been sitting weakly, suddenly stood up.
"Sir!"
