Chapter 3

“Miss, get up.”

I heard someone call softly beside me.

Although it was true that I usually fell asleep quickly, it only took some slight noise to wake me up.

That night, I tossed and turned. I thought about everything that was happening around me right now and how I wished it was all a dream. I prayed for a moment when I could wake up from this dream, and in the midst of my worries, I drifted off to sleep.

“Miss.”

The careful voice called out to me again.

‘Is she calling me?”

Before I fell asleep, I remembered that after the two men with azure eyes left, I was left alone in this room.

Therefore, the person who is being called ‘Miss’ at this moment must be me.

“…..”

Since I just woke up from a nap, my head is still unable to clear. Lost in my thoughts, I was slow to give a response.

After another moment, I could hear some rustling beside me.

I woke up a little and was ready to put forth effort to support my body in order to get up.

At that moment, I felt something enter through the outside of the quilt, and my forearm immediately by virtue of a tingling pain.

“Ah!”

I instantly came to my senses.

Along with my scream, I kicked away my quilt. I immediately rolled up my sleeve and looked at my aching forearm.

‘This, this is…’

I looked in surprise at the skin that was hidden underneath the sky blue pajamas.

My skinny forearms were filled with scars and bruises from the needles.

If this hadn’t been human skin but some other fabric, it would have been full of holes visible to the naked eye.

While I was still in shock from the blood on my forearm.

“You’re awake.”

A voice that wasn’t the least bit surprised by the sight in front of me came from the side of my bed.

I turned my head toward the source of the voice. What came into view was a girl with brown hair and a face full of freckles. She was a maid of honor.

In the game’s character map, all the maids of honor had no faces, and all of them wore the same female karma outfit.

Even this maid of honor standing in front of me right now.

I have no clue where she hid the tool that stabbed me, as she has nothing in her hand right now.

She put on a face that was satisfied and mocking me.

‘What the hell is wrong with her to do this to someone who has done nothing!’

I opened my mouth, ready to lecture her.

But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t get any words out of my mouth.

‘Why is it that in this situation, there’s still not one thing that can go my way? Damn it!’

When this maid in front of me realized that I was just staring at her angrily without responding in any way, she pretended as if nothing had happened.

“I’ve already prepared the bath water, so go ahead and get yourself cleaned up, miss.”

A wicked grin appeared on her face, and she then began to help me make the bed. She looked as if she was very used to performing such acts on this body.

I sat motionless, biting my bottom lip in an effort to hold back, but was still forced by her to push me into the shower.

She told me she had my bath ready, but in reality there was only a bucket of cool water in this empty bathroom.

The bucket of water was so cold and piercing that even just lightly touching it with my fingers gave me goosebumps all over my body.

”I wasn’t expecting anyone to come and help me freshen up, but this, this is outrageous.

In some stories, it would be mentioned how the evil servant was treated badly, but none of the stories explained the details very well.

Once again, I am forced to accept what is happening now because of a strong sense of reality.

I was really in the game.

I rolled up my sleeve, and once again, tears came to my eyes as I saw the scar on my arm, and the blood that had solidified on top of that.

‘What is this. There’s nothing like this in the game…. .

Suddenly, an image surfaced in my mind and reminded me.

It was an evil servant, wearing a strapless dress.

Unlike the other flawless illustrations in the game, in this illustration of the Evil Servant character, there were many dots drawn on her forearms.

‘Crazy. I thought those were just birthmarks! .

If they weren’t birthmarks, they would have been important ambiguities in a story I hadn’t yet unlocked.

Who knew it was all a metaphor for all that abuse.

It’s a bit hard to believe, but it makes me understand the subtlety of the story writers once again.

“Breakfast is ready, miss. Still not washed?”

The maid urged from outside the bathroom.

‘Ah, I really don’t get along with her.’

I was exasperated but had no choice but to dip my hands into the cold water once again.

I had endured countless pains because of those two asshole stepbrothers, and this kind of hardship didn’t hurt at all.

As much as I wanted to leave marks on that bitch from being stabbed with needles and make her feel the kind of treatment she was giving me, I was a vicious servant now anyway. But the most important thing right now is that I have to spend more time investigating everything here.

At the moment my situation is so bad that I can’t even speak the way I want to.

As I stepped out of the bathroom and prepared to dry my face with a towel, I saw that food was already set out on the table, just like the maid had said.

It seemed I had to eat in my own room, mostly because I was grounded by the eldest son of the Duke’s family.

“Please sit down, miss.”

I was dragged by the maid to a seat at the table, unable to do anything but frown while all this was happening.

This meal, prepared for humans, looked downright inedible.

On the plate was a piece of bread that had turned blue from mold, and in the bowl was a thick gray soup with unknown solids floating on top.

“Eat quickly, you should be hungry.”

She smiled and urged me to eat. I clenched my teeth and glared hard at her.

That’s when the white dialog box appeared.

1.Crazy? Get the head chef over here immediately! Right now! (flips over the table)

2.You’re telling me to eat this thing that even a dog won’t eat? Why don’t you eat it first! (Pushes fork into maid’s mouth)

3. (Eats it)

I experienced two “Game Over” in this scene.

The moment I pressed the first option, all the servants would run to the Duke, pretending to be bullied by the evil servant.

When the eldest son of the duke who decided to ground me found out, he was furious and ordered that no one would be allowed to give me a single drop of water for the rest of my confinement.

So for not having a drop of water or a grain of rice, I went to my death.

In the latter round, I pressed the second option.

Jio, who happened to be passing by, saw the scene. When he pushed me away from the maid, I was pushed to the ground and died because the fork that fell in a split second pierced my throat and organs.

What a ridiculous way to die.

”As a result I only had one choice.”

The scene in this chapter is probably about a story between a wicked servant who becomes the heroine and the servants who have been working at the mansion for years.

However, I skipped this chapter immediately after two deaths because I didn’t want to see the main character being abused right off the bat.

I had to unlock ten chapters anyway, so it didn’t matter if it was this one or not.

But now, there’s no ‘back’ button to take me back to the chapter selection page.

‘Damn…”

I glared sadly at the maid standing aside, and hopelessly pressed the third option.

Instantly, as if someone was manipulating my body, I began to move without my own control.

My hand gripped the spoon and scooped up a spoonful of the corrupt soup.

Reluctance to drink the soup affected my body’s movements, my hand shaking and rustling as I slowly moved it to my lips.

The gray liquid dripped onto the table.

No matter how reluctant I was, I couldn’t stop myself from moving now.

Finally, my lips were forced apart by the spoon and I drank the soup.

“Uhh ……”

My tongue felt the warmth of that gray liquid while my taste buds felt its horrible flavor.

This wasn’t food at all, that tasted and tasted like garbage that had been softened by cooking.

My body continued to move, scooping up the soup and sending this garbage water into my mouth, forcing me to swallow.

“Vomit!”

The maid looked at me in shock, as if she didn’t even expect me to actually eat it.

‘Uh, I feel like I’m going to vomit! .

I was so nauseous that I wanted to throw up, and I desperately wanted to forget how I felt right now.

‘I think this should be enough for once. .

I’m not going to die just because I ate a spoonful of garbage.

I silently sighed in relief because I got through the episode safely.

But that was just wishful thinking on my part.

My hand with the spoon didn’t stop.

”What’s going on! This….

Quite the contrary, I had to continue stuffing the moldy blue bread and gray gumbo into my mouth.

This was out of my expectation.

The maid’s face gradually turned pale as she watched me forcefully eat the food.

When the second son of the Duke’s family happened to come into this room, I was finally able to stop my crazy behavior.

“What are you doing?”

“Lei, young master Leonard!”

This maid panicked at his unexpected appearance.

“Oooh vomit!”

And I didn’t have any extra time to pay attention to him at all, so I could only quickly cover my mouth with my hand.

I was regurgitating so much that I could throw up at any moment.

‘Why do I have to go through this?’

Before even coming to this game, I had already experienced enough similar things.

In that hell-like home, I was bullied by those two assholes and suffered a hundred tortures.

Could it be that in this virtual world, I have to endure all that pain again?

“Vomit, uh ……”

Even though I covered my mouth, there were still juices seeping out of my fingers.

Because of this injustice, as well as the nausea, I felt tears uncontrollably flowing down my face.

I moaned like a person who just drank poison. Vaguely, I saw the pink-haired man approach me with a shocked face.

“Hey, you’re okay ……”

He froze, jaw dropping at the sight of the food on the table

“What the…”

Moldy blue bread, and gray gumbo.

What a mess of troughs, no one would have guessed that this was even a meal for a duke’s daughter. Even ordinary commoners wouldn’t eat this garbage for breakfast.

It looked like half of this food had already been eaten, and his pale-faced stepsister was covering her mouth.

That pink-haired person turned around and frowned at the maid at the side, revealing a bone-chilling expression.

“What are you giving her now?”

“Young, young master, that one is…”

The maid’s face turned white from his murderous aura, and she shivered in fear.

‘He obviously has no idea at all.’

This impostor Qianjin who always made a fuss would silently swallow the rotten food given by the maid. How could an outsider who accidentally passed by know?

Because of her stammering answer, the pink hair interrupted sternly, ”Even if you don’t take the Duke’s family in your eyes there has to be a limit! How dare a maid place such a thing on the master’s table!”

“Young Master! I, it’s not like that! That one is ……!”

“Get out of this room immediately.”

“Young, young master!”

“I will personally report this matter to father and elder brother. Is there anyone outside? Butler!”
