There is something special about the maids of the Crown Prince’s Palace.
The workers of the palace used to say this in unison; the fellow maids who worked together at the Crown Prince’s palace, the knight who guards the palace, and even the maids of another palace who had only seen her face a few times.
Who is the “maid” here?
Rosetta Mayfield, a woman who recently entered the palace and became the exclusive maid of the Crown Prince.
Rosetta was beautiful. Her reddish hair was as fresh as a summer rose in bloom, and her blue eyes shimmered red like the sea in the sun. It wasn’t a standard image of a beautiful woman, but it had an eye-catching charm.
She was very tall, had long legs, and straight posture, like an educated lady of the Baronetcy of Mayfield.
However, somehow, she looked as upright and taut as a knight, not as elegant and graceful as a ‘noble lady’.
Her smiling eyes were especially beautiful, so the knights would wait for Rosetta to pass by and help her with anything.
But the reason she was called a “special maid” was not just because of her origins or appearance.
There was something more famous than that.
Rosetta! In front of you!”
“Huh??”
Bang!
Despite the knight’s desperate cry, Rosetta had hit her head on the tree. It made a pretty loud noise, and she fell on her back.
This week alone was the third time.
She slipped in an empty corridor yesterday and fainted the day before yesterday when another maid accidentally threw a tray. Because of that, Rosetta had to be taken to the room over and over again.
This was the reason why she became famous. That terrible weakness that collapses whenever opportunity arises. She fainted so often that she was given a nickname; Sunfish.
“Is such a beautiful woman from a baron family of Korean, an aristocrat?”
“She will be leaving in less than a month.”
“I can’t keep quiet if she causes damage many times.”
Shortly after Rosetta’s entrance, the maids would click their tongues and gossip about her. It was natural for them to be short-handed when their fellow maid was away.
But in just a month, the maids became fond of Rosetta. Even though there was nothing special about her, Rosetta strangely attracted people.
She was injured and left her seat all the time to match her nickname; the Sunfish, did more than required. They wanted to take care of her because she was so nice to everyone.
Above all, the biggest reason for changing their minds was that Rosetta took on the most complicated task.
What it was, was the work of a maid exclusively.
“She is the exclusive maid of Armund Baldwin Don Lagnard, the mad crown prince.”
Rosetta volunteered for the job, most of them ran away in three days, and even after a week, but she did not bring up the “retirement” of her resignation. The maids, who were freed from the crown prince’s service, massaged Rosetta’s shoulders every night in praise of her. Thanks to her, the knights, who had less to do after the crown prince, also offered her various snacks for their gratitude.
Rosetta, a special maid, was always laughing in spite of all the circumstances.
It’s until one day she met the assassin of the Crown Prince.
“What are you doing?”
Rosetta, with her red hair neatly tied up, asked, with her head tilted. Her blue eyes sparkled with pure doubt.
She saw something weird.
A while ago, Tom, a servant assigned at the Crown Prince’s palace, hid a sharp dagger under the tray he brought to the Crown Prince.
And the prince’s knight, Gerald, who stood beside him, certainly saw it, only nodded, but took no particular step.
Witnessing all this, Rosetta opened her eyes wide again.
“Are you sure you’re going to stab him with that?”
Tom and Gerald briefly exchanged glances at the naive and stupid question.
That’s too bad, she is a pretty good girl.
“Sorry, Rosetta.”
They liked the special maid, too. There weren’t many men who hate stupid beauty in the first place.
However, it’s a sign now.
“Those who see things that must not be seen, must die.”
There was no one around, so there was nothing to worry about.
Tom quickly pulled out his dagger and rushed to Rosetta. Like a skilled assassin, his movement was neat and clean.
The dagger aimed at the weak woman’s vital spot in an instant, and a shuddering sound rang quietly, and the red lashes fluttered weakly.
“Let’s put her away and leave.”
Gerald said, looking around as if he was annoyed, but no answer was heard. Instead, he could only hear the sound of popping and falling to the ground.
As Gerald, puzzled, turned his head, an amazing scene appeared in his sight.
Rosetta was standing in front of him.
She was beautiful but a weak maid who was given the nickname; “the sunfish of the palace” or “the special rose.”
However, unlike the woman who always wore a beautiful smile, the woman in front of him was horrifyingly indifferent. Her clear eyes, which seemed to be stupid, sank calmly and glowed cold.
Gerald felt the faint energy from her gaze. It was sharp and murderous like a well forged sword.
Behind her, he saw Tom’s body stretched weakly on the ground.
Gerald leaned down in a hurry. The sound of the wind rang in his ears. It was the sound of a sharp blade passing by where his neck was.
“Oh, your skills are pretty good.”
Rosetta evaluated it with her eyes closed. It was that smile that Gerald usually considered beautiful, but now that she had a sword in her hand that killed his comrade, it looked creepy.
“Why use that good skill for assassination?”
Gerald wanted to say something more, but he couldn’t because he was attacked so suddenly that he didn’t have time to move his lips.
Rosetta, who murmured regretfully, moved her body with a relaxed expression. Her attitude was relaxed, and her movements were so small that he couldn’t tell what she was doing from a distance. But every hand movement was accurate and fierce. The energy contained in the small dagger was so powerful that Gerald, the top assassin, could not handle it.
He has never met such a talented person in his life, let alone handle it.
‘That’s ridiculous, how could she…!’
How could a 20-year-old girl and a maid from the baron family of Korea, be such a powerful person?
Gerald couldn’t believe it, so he chewed on his lips. However, no matter how hard he bit, the reality in front of him didn’t change, and realizing that it was impossible to deal with her any more, he hurriedly tried to run away.
Even if he didn’t win, fleeing and hiding were his specialities. So far, no one was able to follow his shadow.
Fortunately, Rosetta did not scream and announce the presence of the assassin. Gerald continued to speculate, appreciating her stupidity.
‘Is she possibly an escort knight secretly assigned by the prince?’
If so, all the assassins sent to the Crown Prince recently disappeared in silence…
***
It was a pretty close guess. But it couldn’t last any longer.
“Sorry, Gerald.”
It was because Rosetta, who was behind him, appeared from the front in an instant.
“Those who see things that must not be seen must die.”
She laughed at Tom’s words from earlier and twisted one side of her mouth.
That was Gerald’s end.
Thirty minutes later…
The voice in search of Rosetta rang in one side of the Crown Prince’s Palace.
“Rosetta, Rosetta!”
“Wow, when and where did she fall asleep again!?”
Elia and Melanie, maids of the Crown Prince’s Palace, took quick steps to find Rosetta.
“It’s me!”
Rosetta showed up after a while.
Her less dry hair was tangled back and forth as if she had just washed it.
“Sorry, I accidentally fell into the pond. I will wash up real quick and change clothes…”
“That’s what I mean! He can’t wait! His Majesty is looking for you!”
“Yeah! I’ll go right away!”
Rosetta nodded forcefully and ran on. She was running so hard that she almost sprained her ankle. Looking at her back, Elia and Melanie clicked their tongues.
“Oh, she’s really weak and lax…”
“I’m wondering what to do if she gets bullied somewhere.”
“By the way, why haven’t we seen Tom? The maid was so angry. He took the dessert away.”
“It’s obvious, isn’t it? He must have run away again.”
It’s not like one or two servants of the Crown Prince’s palace fled, but once again… Melanie shrugged her shoulders.
***
‘Rosetta Mayfield, 20, made of the Crown Prince’s Palace, called ‘The Sunfish of the Imperial Palace.’
It was the information that defined the current Rosetta.
Rosetta from “This Life” to be exact.
However, the title defining her in her previous life was a little different.
‘Rosetta Mayfield, 30 years old, the strongest sword master of the Empire, the Prince’s direct escort knight, the Great Wizard’s friend, the only Sword master…’
There were countless titles other than these. Most of them were about praising her military skills and ability.
As can be seen from this, Rosetta was a knight who reached the level of a sword master in her first life. She was also an escort knight that stood by the crown prince for a long time.
The power to be the sole Sword master of the Empire, the wealth to buy several super-luxury town houses, and the honour of being the direct escort knight of the Crown Prince…
She got everything and achieved everything she wanted. There was no stain in her life.
But one day, Prince Armund died.
He was assassinated, and they couldn’t find the killer. Her title as the strongest knight, Rosetta, was ridiculed for not being able to protect the Crown Prince.
It was the first failure of her life.
Rosetta couldn’t accept it, so she went to Valerian, her childhood friend and the only monk in the Empire.
“Turn the clock around.”
Turn back time to when His Highness was still alive, Rosetta demanded so.
Valerianne tried to dissuade her, saying that she was an unwarranted wizard, but failed to break Rosetta’s stubbornness.
Eventually, a large-scale time magic was completed using the sword Armund gave her.
“I don’t know what the side effects are.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Time passed by, for the last time she said something with confidence.
What went wrong was ten years ago?
In any case, Rosetta, who became the knight again, did her best to protect Armund.
She always stood like a statue in front of his doorstep, killing and killing countless assassins. But what’s this, Armund is dead again. He was assassinated sooner than in his last life.
And as soon as he died, time went back. Rosetta turned 20 again without time to despair.
This was the side effect that Valerianne was worried about.
If Armund’s death is not prevented, time will go back unconditionally. Rosetta will just keep falling into a kind of loop.
In her third and fourth lives, Armund died. The timing and reasons were all different, and it was the same that Rosetta wasn’t able to save him from dying.
And as the fifth life begins, Rosetta has decided to do things a little differently.
‘I’ve always been his escort.’
However, there was a limit to the area where the guard could interfere. She, as a woman, was more so.
Armund wasn’t usually the type to carry an escort knight with him, and he was very reluctant to have an escort in his room. The maid was the only one who entered his room freely.
So Rosetta of “This life” became a maid.
It was not difficult to enter the palace, thanks to the help of the competent friend, Valerianne. But there was something really hard to do, so it was to protect Armund without revealing her ability.
“I wish I could speak to you and ask for your cooperation, but…”
This was already Rosetta’s strategy in her third life.
Turning the time around, if someone had said it, it would have been treated as vain nonsense, but if the speaker were her, the words were different.
The crown prince listened to Rosetta’s words and sent her out, saying, “I want to have time to think alone about this for a while.”
She then left the room, and he died of a heart attack less than an hour later.
“He’s a sunfish.”
Rosetta used to call the Prince this in her mind, much to her profanity.
In fact, as it is known, the real sunfish does not die that easily, so Armund is more than the sunfish.
If you tell them that they’re going to die later, they’ll die in surprise, and if they are left alone, they’ll die differently.
Anyway, it turned out that Rosetta couldn’t tell the truth because of his weak disposition. Instead, she decided to serve him as a maid and secretly remove all threats.
To make excuses when she is away, she plays a vulnerable maid who falls down whenever she has time. She also volunteered to be an exclusive maid to always stand by him.
It was annoying to secretly kill an assassin and clean up the body, but it wasn’t that difficult. Certainly, it was rather comfortable because the area that she could go through was wider than when she was an escort knight before.
However, there was something that bothers Rosetta more than anything these days.
“Your Majesty, you called…”
Before Rosetta finished her words, his stiff forearms, with veins visible clearly, wrapped around her slender waist.
“Rosetta…”
In an instant, she leaned back. At the same time, his hard chest muscles touched her back, and the unique strange scent brushed her nose.
“My Rose.”
His obsessive voice rang in her ears.
I thought he was going crazy waiting!
Rosetta groaned, without realizing it, as the ticklish touch of his lips touched her neck. When she trembled, the big man behind her gave a short laugh. She didn’t know where the excitement came from, but something poked her in the back.
This was her biggest concern.
Prince Armund, who was only blunt when she stood by as a guard, suddenly showed a strange attitude from a certain moment in this life.
“What, what are you doing?”
“What do you mean?”
Armund raised up the corners of his mouth and laughed. A deep voice continued softly.
It’s tempting.
Rosetta, deceived by a sullen, sensual smile, could not answer.
Her heart just screamed,
Don’t do this, Your Majesty!
