Chapter 67
Aubrey stood far away with her jewelry box.
She was in tears.
It was like being an invisible person.
Artizea did not particularly ignore her, but she did not treat her close as a lady-in-waiting.
The maids who followed Artizea hated her blatantly.
The ladies of the stronghold were not the same as before.
If it were her old days, she was the most precious lady in the stronghold. There were rarely any women in the Grand Duchy, so naturally the daughters of the Jordyn’s received precious treatment.
But now everyone knelt to Artizea. Aubrey was behind the scenes. She was only seen as Artizea’s lady-in-waiting.
But the saddest thing was Cedric’s attitude.
‘How can you not even look at me like that?’
If he looks at her once, he’ll notice this unfair situation.
However, when Cedric was with Artizea, there was very little in him giving any attention to anything other than Artizea.
The gentle gaze, friendly gestures, and kind consideration sometimes seemed sweet.
Every time she saw it right in front of her eyes, Aubrey felt even more disastrous of her standing.
Artizea kept Aubrey close and never let her sit.
The subordinate cannot sit in the seat until the superior allows it. That is the court manner.
Artizea offered to teach her.
Aubrey had to stand by Artizea all day long. Even when the treasurer or the maid is sitting.
That said, she didn’t have anything to be proud of.
All that was left to Aubrey was a jewel box.
It was important. No lady entrusts a jewelry box to someone she doesn’t trust.
But Aubrey thought she was just like a foot on a jewelry box.
Artizea sometimes had her bring the jewelry box so that she could look at it and put it right next to her for an hour to pick.
She can’t believe she was being treated like this. She is the daughter of Count Jordyn, who can be called the first vassal of the Grand Duke, and she is the first lady-in-waiting.
Sophie came out of the bathroom to prepare clothes for the banquet. She saw Aubrey standing until then, and so she said cautiously.
“It’s hard, right? My madam called, and she told me I need to clean up the jewelry box. So, sit back and relax. Since the madam is a gentle person, Miss Aubrey just …..”
“Shut up! Do you sympathize with me when you’re the maid?”
“Aahh!”
Aubrey threw the jewelry box at her.
Sophie, who was beaten by the heavy gold box, fell to the floor. The jewels scattered on the floor and sparkled brilliantly.
Blood ran from one side of Sophie’s head.
Aubrey was startled. Because she didn’t intend to hurt Sophie.
But she soon clenched her lips.
It’s all because of Artizea. As such, it was not a problem for a maid brought from Artizea’s family.
Aubrey knew very well that this was Artizea trying to discourage her.
‘I wonder who will give in.’
She was the daughter of the Jordyn family, and was the vassal of the Grand Duke Evron. She wasn’t a knight, but she was confident that she wasn’t the same as the weak capital ladies.
‘I’m not someone to be treated like this!’
Aubrey ran out.
