Chapter 802 – 802. The Plum Blossom Sword Master Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
“It’s not right to say this, but the head maid losing her memory might be a good thing for our lord. Our lord relies too much on the head maid. It’s not that he doesn’t know how amazing she is, but our lord is the lord, not the head maid. Our lord should think and our lord should decide.”
“……”
Floy was right. It’s my army. It’s right that I decide the direction of that army. I pondered. I also asked Floy in detail about Viscount Juliard and Baron Mavelot.
“My lord, let me add one thing. We don’t need to be the main players in the victory. We just need to arrive on time to complete our mission.”
He was saying that there was no need to be obsessed with victory.
Of course, it would be good to win. Because we would get just rewards for victory. But Gent and Kyle are my rivals. There was no reason to help my rivals.
“…We’re going to Baron Mavelot’s territory.”
“Are you supporting Kyle? What’s the reason?”
“I have no intention of sacrificing my army for their sake to win. Gent, by nature, will try to control my army. Even if I go to support him, he’ll react as if it’s natural, and I won’t even get a thank you. Kyle is different from Gent. He’ll feel grateful to me for coming to support him, and he won’t try to use my army as he pleases.”
“I understand. Now, all that’s left is how many troops to take.”
“First, I’ll take the entire Golden Rose Knights. Without your knights, the army is just a scarecrow.”
“How many soldiers will you take?”
“5,000. 2,000 elite soldiers. The rest are all slave soldiers.”
“I’ll take care of the rest. The departure is tomorrow afternoon.”
Floy got up. Before she left, she asked me.
“If the head maid can’t work, won’t there be chaos in the mansion?”
“That’s okay. Maybe a few years ago, but now the mansion will run fine even without Yuria.”
“I guess it was an unnecessary worry.”
There were many excellent maids, though not as good as Yuria. From noble backgrounds, merchant backgrounds, administrative backgrounds, and so on. Yuria had firmly established the system of the mansion, so there was no chance of problems arising. In fact, recently, Yuria’s work was just simple things like checking.
Floy left.
I was still sitting in my seat, lost in thought. I was thinking about Yuria, not about war-related matters.
‘Yuria must be undergoing a trial of the artifact. If so… what are the conditions for passing the trial?’
This part was the least clear.
When I used the artifact before, the trial given to me was abstinence. But I didn’t know how long I had to abstain to pass the trial. I gave up on the trial before the artifact could tell me the conditions for passing.
‘If Yuria’s condition for passing the trial is to spend several years in a weakened state after losing her memory… Hmph. Well, I guess it doesn’t matter. I’ll have to give up on my plan to use Yuria as a grandmaster, but the fact that Yuria is my woman won’t change.’
What if Yuria, having lost her memory, wants to get away from me? I had no intention of letting her go.
‘If she’s forgotten that I’m her master, then I just need to make her remember that I’m her master.’
***
Yuria, who had been lying on the floor of the underground training ground, opened her eyes. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before getting up.
‘…Who am I?’
She had no memories at all. She didn’t know her name, her age, why she was here, or why she was wearing these clothes. She didn’t know anything.
She felt frustrated and scared at the same time. She got up and calmly looked around. The wide space and the weapons hanging on the walls made her vaguely realize that this was a training ground.
Yuria walked on the ground. Her staggering steps soon found their balance. The awkwardness disappeared. She opened the door and went outside. She had no weapon in her hand. She didn’t feel any sense of danger.
She went up the stairs in front of the door and came to the first-floor hallway.
Through the window, she could see the garden. A woman with blonde hair and long, pointed ears was tending to the garden.
‘I don’t know.’
She didn’t remember where this was or who the woman tending the garden was.
Yuria slowly walked down the hallway, trying to recall her lost memories. Would she remember if she went outside this building?
“Head Maid!”
A woman’s voice came from behind. Yuria didn’t even realize she was being called and walked on blankly.
“Head Maid! Head Maid! Don’t ignore me!”
Yuria stopped walking. She realized she was being called and slowly turned around. A maid with a mop in her hand came running up to her. Her pink bobbed hair swayed softly.
“Head Maid! I’ve finished cleaning the annex hallway. Can I play now? I want to play in the swimming pool, is that okay? Huh?”
“Um…”
Yuria carefully opened her mouth. The maid tilted her head. She was very different from the usual head maid.
“Is my name Head Maid?”
“……?”
“Don’t you know me? Please tell me who I am.”
The maid frowned. She had been in the mansion for over a year, but this was the first time this had happened.
“Don’t joke around, Head Maid. Did I do something wrong? Ah, did the master order you to do something weird again? Is that it?”
“I’m sorry… I don’t remember anything…”
“Sigh. The master is doing some weird play again…”
“……”
The maid tilted her head. The atmosphere was strange. Usually, she would laugh awkwardly by now, wouldn’t she?
The maid’s expression hardened. There was a way to tell if Yuria was joking or not. The method was simple.
“Eugene Prukerus is a horny monkey who only knows how to play with his dick.”
“……?”
“N-no way! Even though I openly insulted the master, the head maid isn’t scolding me!”
Usually, Yuria would scold her with a serious face if she insulted Eugene even a little. But now, she wasn’t getting angry, and she was reacting as if she didn’t know anything.
“H-Head Maid. Do you really have no memories? What’s my name?”
“I’m sorry. I don’t know.”
The surprised maid took a step back and gasped with her mouth wide open. Then, she shouted as if screaming.
“The head maid has amnesia!!!”
Her voice echoed loudly in the annex. The maids who were working rushed out into the first-floor hallway.
“What kind of joke is this again?”
“Oh, come on. The head maid having amnesia… It’s such a ridiculous thing to say that I’m curious about what’s going on.”
“It’s probably the master’s doing again anyway. I saw with my own eyes that he was doing a captured knight play with the head maid last time.”
“A captured knight…? I’m curious about what the head maid looked like in that state.”
“The master was the captured knight.”
“…Really?”
The maids gathered around Yuria. The maid uniforms they were wearing were generally similar, but slightly different. Some emphasized their chests, while others emphasized their hips and legs. The common thing was that they were all beautiful.
Yuria took a slight step back. She didn’t feel any sense of danger, but her body tensed up as she was surrounded by unfamiliar people she didn’t remember.
The maids surrounded Yuria and bombarded her with questions, and Yuria, while flustered, tried her best to answer their questions sincerely. In the process, Yuria learned a little about herself.
Her name was Yuria Grace.
She was the trusted head maid of this mansion.
And Eugene Prukerus, the master of this mansion and the master of all the maids.
‘Eugene… Prukerus…’
Yuria repeated Eugene’s name. That name bothered her more than her own name.
“What are you all doing here? The head maid is here too. Is there any interesting news?”
A maid with a tall height of 175cm and long, dark blue hair appeared. It was Melissa. Her sharp eyes shone with interest.
“Lady Melissa!”
“Captain Melissa!”
“Sister Melissa!”
The maids called Melissa by different titles. Melissa was one of the most popular people in the mansion. She was called captain because she was the leader of the AM unit.
The maids told Melissa about Yuria’s current situation, and Melissa’s face hardened as she ran off.
“Th-this is not a normal situation. I’ll bring the master! Stay here!”
Melissa ran off. And a little while later, she came back with Sung Eugene. The maids immediately stepped aside when Sung Eugene arrived. Yuria, nervous at the appearance of the highest-ranking person in this mansion, looked at Sung Eugene.
Thump, thump.
Just by looking at his appearance, her heart was beating wildly. It was so much that it was hard to breathe. Fear? No. It wasn’t a bad feeling to call it fear.
“Yuria! Did you really lose your memory? Don’t you remember who I am?”
Sung Eugene grabbed Yuria’s shoulders. Yuria was startled. Her heart beat faster. She thought her heart might burst.
“I… I don’t know. I don’t remember anything…”
After that, she talked to Sung Eugene, and she put her hand on the palm that Sung Eugene held out. Something from his palm went into her body and then out. After that, they talked.
Then, Yuria noticed that Sung Eugene’s atmosphere had changed slightly. His eyes were burning hotly as he looked at her.
“Hoo…!”
Sung Eugene grabbed her shoulders and waist and kissed her. Yuria reflexively grabbed his shoulders to support her legs, which were about to collapse. His hot breath, slippery saliva, and squishy tongue entered her mouth and wreaked havoc.
Smack. Smack. Kiss.
Her head turned blank white. Her tongue reacted to his tongue on its own.
‘Ah, no…!’
It wasn’t because she didn’t like it. Rather, she felt so good that she thought something strange would happen. Yuria reflexively put strength into her hands and pushed him away. Sung Eugene stepped back.
It was only a brief moment, but Yuria’s heart sank when she saw his distorted expression. Before she could say anything, Sung Eugene talked to Melissa and then left.
“Head Maid. Follow me. I’ll guide you to the head maid’s room for now.”
“Um… where is the master…?”
“The master is busy with work, unlike usual. Well, it’s probably a war issue. Do you want to see the master?”
“…Yes.”
“You’re still the head maid. The master will call you in a few hours, so you can wait leisurely. You can also sort out your feelings.”
Yuria followed her into a room in the main building. It was a clean and spacious room. Everything from the bed to the furniture was luxurious and high-end. The bed, in particular, was large enough for five people to sleep on comfortably.
“I have work to do, so I can’t stay by your side all the time. If you’re hungry or curious about anything, ask any maid. They’ll fulfill any request from the head maid. Except for the request to go outside the mansion.”
“…No. I don’t feel like going outside.”
“That’s a relief. Is there anything you need?”
“I’m okay.”
Melissa left. Yuria, sitting on the bed, felt a strange feeling that was both unfamiliar and familiar. She soon got up from the bed and looked around the room.
When she opened a wall in the corner, a clean bathroom appeared. The water in the sink came out very well. Inside the bathroom was a private shower room.
This time, she opened the closet. There were several identical maid uniforms, and maid uniforms with short areas that made her doubt if they were really maid uniforms, nurse uniforms, bunny girl outfits, and other clothes.
Yuria took out a maid uniform from the closet and changed into it. She felt like she had to, and she felt comfortable after putting on the maid uniform.
There were many cosmetics on the dressing table. She knew what some of them were, but she didn’t know what the rest were for. It was the same with the books on the bookshelf. She didn’t know most of them.
She rummaged through the bookshelf. She was hoping there would be a diary or something. There was no diary. Most of them were books about professional knowledge and magic.
‘The room is big, but there are strangely few things…’
Of course. Yuria usually kept important things or things she used often in the shadows. It was more convenient that way.
After looking around the room for a while, Yuria sat back on the bed and blankly fell into thought.
Knock, knock.
She came to her senses at the sound of knocking.
“Yes, yes. Come in.”
It was Kelly, a cleaning maid with short dark blue hair and fair skin.
“Head Maid, I heard you lost your memory? I heard it from Lady Melissa. I thought you wouldn’t know where the dining hall is, so I came to pick you up. Let’s go have dinner.”
“…Ah, yes.”
Yuria went down to the first-floor dining hall with Kelly. On the way, she ran into Melissa.
“Head Maid and Kelly. Is it dinner?”
“Yeah. Lady Melissa too? You don’t usually eat late?”
“That’s right. I had to do something on behalf of the head maid, so I came down early today.”
“Is it war preparation?”
“That too.”
“Lady Melissa is having a hard time too.”
Yuria couldn’t concentrate on their conversation. It was because a woman with short black-green hair next to Melissa caught her eye. Nella, she was crawling on the ground naked with a dog collar on. Of course, Melissa was holding the collar.
“…What are you looking at.”
“Ah, no. It’s just…”
“Oh my, Nella! What kind of way is that to talk!”
Slap!
“Eek!”
Melissa, who had slapped Nella’s back, bowed her head to Yuria.
“I’m sorry, Head Maid. It’s not easy to train a pet. And it just so happens that this one is on her period today… Anyway. I’ll train her again later, so please forgive me.”
“……”
Yuria was speechless. Even she, who had lost her memory, could tell that something was wrong.
