How Can I Love You, a Servant? (Short Story)
# There's no way I could love a mere servant.
I was born into a high-ranking count's family, and for 17 years I have never wet my fingertips with water.
She is the youngest daughter of a high-ranking count family.
After my coming-of-age ceremony, I will finally marry my fiancé and become a proper lady of another family.
however,
An unexpected man appeared in my life, which was going smoothly.

Today was a day when the mansion was filled with the sound of busyness.
김여주
..
김여주
Why is it so noisy these days?
유재희
I guess it's because my wife hires a lot of servants these days.
Her name is Yoo Jae-hee, and she is the female protagonist's maid.
김여주
..hmm,
김여주
..hmm, I see your mother is having fun with extravagance again.
유재희
..haha
김여주
Well, it doesn't matter to me.
In this day and age, where having many servants is considered a sign of wealth and power, is this really that much?
...
I looked at the newly arrived servants moving busily.
김여주
..
김여주
..?
As I was observing the new servants coming in, my eyes stopped on one male servant.
최수빈
Oh, yes!
최수빈
The wine you ordered today will be brought to the warehouse (smile)
The male servant I saw had a very pleasant smile.
김여주
...
김여주
Who is that guy?
I asked Jaehee about the servant I was seeing for the first time.
유재희
Oh, there's a servant named Choi Soo-bin.
유재희
I guess it was new last time
유재희
He is a servant who mainly does odd jobs in the warehouse.
유재희
..What happened to you, Miss..?;;
Jaehee asked with a puzzled expression.
Since I was a child, I had never been interested in servants or people doing odd jobs, so she couldn't help but be curious.
김여주
..I was just curious
유재희
..???
김여주
Okay, let's go.
I finished speaking roughly and headed to the garden.
등장인물
B | Yeo Ju-yeong-ae's coming-of-age ceremony is coming up soon, right?

등장인물

등장인물
A | Did you all know?
김여주
Wow, really?
등장인물
C | Ha, that's pitiful.. haha
등장인물
C | How can I live comfortably with a husband who wanders around even though I'm a wealthy lady?
김여주
...lol
..I'm bored,
This kind of tea party for the rich...
It starts with the same old gossip about so-and-so's daughter marrying so-and-so's man, and then there are the same old gossips about how the tea smells good, and sometimes even about so-and-so's daughter having an affair with a man.
Everything is boring
김여주
...
I smiled on the outside, but inside I was wishing I could just get out of there.
Finally, time passed and Tiffany was finally finished.
Only after sending away all those talkative young ladies was I able to find freedom.
김여주
...under,
유재희
Miss, are you tired?
김여주
..huh
김여주
I'm reminded of how much talkativeness, luxury, and gossip these people are.
유재희
..haha,
유재희
Miss, would you like to go in now?
김여주
..ah, yeah
김여주
..Oh, no, wait a minute
유재희
yes?
김여주
Let's go to the warehouse
유재희
..yes?
유재희
Right now??
김여주
Yeah, I need something
What is it,
Actually, I wanted to meet that servant again.
Why did my eyes keep going to you?
I was wondering why that servant kept lingering in my mind throughout the tea party with the noble ladies.
Just... that kind of curiosity
I got it back.
유재희
If you need anything, I can get it for you.
유재희
Is there any reason for the young lady to go?
김여주
...
김여주
...I just wanted to drink wine
유재희
Uh..wine??
유재희
The young lady hasn't even had her coming-of-age ceremony yet..!!
유재희
The Count will be shocked when he hears this..!!
김여주
...lol
Why would you be surprised..?
Maybe he can't control his anger and won't let you leave the room...lol
유재희
And I'm confused too..ㅠ
김여주
It's okay, I'll take responsibility.
김여주
huh?
유재희
..oh, yeah..
유재희
How can I stop you, young lady?
유재희
Let's go...
김여주
Yeah lol
김여주
This is a wine cellar.
It was the first wine cellar I had ever visited in the 17 years I had lived in the mansion.
If I had ever wandered into a place like this when I was young, my father would have scolded me.
Moreover, he could not even approach the servants.
Because I grew up learning that they were very low-class and vulgar things that didn't suit me.
김여주
What is this..?
I held the oak barrel stopper made of wood.
It was something I had never seen before.
Having grown up eating well-prepared meals on tables decorated with flowers and colorful candles, this was the first time I had seen things like wine stored like this.
김여주
..that's amazing
I strained my hand to pull the cork open.
등장인물
??? | Ah, you can't leave that out..!
At that moment, I heard a voice stopping me from behind.
김여주
?
Lie._
I was startled by the sound of someone calling me, so I tightened my grip on the oak barrel stopper and before I knew it, I pulled it out with a 'pop.'
김여주
...!!
And from the open oak barrel, wine poured out.
김여주
...
Oh my, what should I do...
Swish._
I froze as I watched the wine pouring down. Then, someone who had been trying to stop me from behind quickly blocked the can with their entire body.
김여주
..!
..haha,
최수빈
So I said you shouldn't take it out.. haha
The man blocking the entrance with his whole body was the male servant I had seen in the morning.
