I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother

Chapter 25



 

The fate of the characters in the novel is decided by the author, who could be the god of this world.

 

Since I have not been able to meet the author, I will visit the god of this world as an alternative and find a way.

 

‘I will not let you die.’

 

Charlotte vowed to protect Theo, who was sleeping in her arms.

 

Since then, she has always been by Theo’s side.

 

Because of the overflowing anxiety, she didn’t know when and where something would happen to Theo.

 

When he eats, when he sleeps, and when the carriage rattles, she couldn’t take her eyes off him.

 

Fortunately, Charlotte and Theo were able to reach the gates safely without any accident afterwards.

 

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief when Carcel told her they had arrived from the carriage window.

 

Carcel escorted Charlotte getting off the carriage.

 

It was called the Mana Gate. 

 

She had imagined a building of the greatest magnificence but the scene in front of her was simpler than she thought.

 

A magic circle was drawn in an open space.

 

“Miss, this way.”

 

Charlotte took Theo in her arms and stood in front of the Mana Gate with Carcel leading the way.

 

A group of people gathered around them as if they were surrounding them.

 

When the mage started reciting the spell, the magic circle started glowing.

 

Carcel spoke to Charlotte ,who looked worried using a magic circle for the first time

 

“Take my hand.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“I have already checked it several times, but if something goes wrong, I should not lose the lady and Theo somewhere else .”

 

“Oh.”

 

Certainly that was true.

 

Charlotte put her hand on his and gently grabbed him, a strong light flashed from the magic circle.

 

When she opened her closed eyes, Charlotte could find a familiar place.

 

It was the imperial palace that she saw when she came to the capital two years ago.

 

‘I’m finally here .’

 

Charlotte swallowed her dry saliva and wiped her sweaty hands from the tension of her skirt.

 

It’s time to take the original novel seriously.

 

***

 

Sarah ,the Duke Heinst’s maid ,was usually busy, but she’s even more busy now.

 

A few days ago, she cleaned the room of Theodore, the young master, and today she cleaned it again because she was told he’s coming back.

 

Sarah and the other maids quickly took off the white sheets that were barely covered in dust and swept the floor.

 

“Why is the young master coming back? Wasn’t he going there to recover?”

 

Asked her fellow maid, who was mopping the floor and wiping the sweat off her forehead.

 

The fact that Theo had disappeared on his way to the temple was a secret that only a few knew.

 

Of course Sarah and the staff only knew that Theo got there safely.

 

That’s why they couldn’t hide their surprise at the news of Theo’s return after a week.

 

“Who knows?”

 

Sarah, who was cleaning the windows, shrugged her shoulders without looking at her colleague.

 

“When he was leaving last time, the young master cried a lot because he didn’t want to part from the Duke. Did he continue crying there that the Duke brought him back? When he cries a lot, he would have a fever.”

 

“Or maybe the Young Master wanted to see the Duke. Since the Duke cannot go there, he should come here .”

 

“Oh, that could be true.”

 

Theo followed his older brother well, and Carcel also greatly valued blood kinship.

 

It can be painful for the close siblings to be apart for a while.

 

Sarah came to her rough conclusions, checked the windows again for stains, and then got off the chair.

 

Anyway, guessing like this wasn’t helpful for the maids.

 

What were they doing predicting their superiors’ behavior?

 

Originally, servants should do only what they were told.

 

Sarah came out of the room with her colleagues after cleaning. 

 

It was almost lunchtime, so they had to go to the kitchen and have lunch.

 

‘Today’s menu is potato soup.’

 

She was about to go down the stairs, remembering the menu that made her drool, when she heard the voice of someone calling her from behind.

 

“Have you finished cleaning the little master’s room?”

 

It was Robert, the butler of the palace,soon the maids turned and lined up.

 

“Yeah, we just did”

 

Robert’s sharp look turned to the maids, he was usually kind and generous, but he was stern about the mansion.

 

Although she had done nothing wrong, Sarah squeezed the mop she was holding behind her back.

 

‘Did I do something wrong?’

 

She was cleaning up as usual, but then she swallowed anxiously.

 

“Follow me.”

 

Robert started walking towards Theo’s room.

 

While walking, Sarah had a lot of thoughts in her head.

 

What if there are fingerprints on the windows? Was the arrangement of the blankets perfect? Is there white cloth left?

 

But despite this concern, Robert bypassed Theo’s room. 

 

He was heading to the next room.

 

Without thinking, Sarah and the maids entered after opening the door and nodded.

 

“Clean up here too.”

 

The western entrance on the third floor, where Theo’s room is, was where the room used by the direct descendants of Heinst from generation to generation was located.

 

The room next to Theo had been vacant for a long time, it was a room used by the sister of the former Duke Heinst.

 

The Duke (Carcel’s father) and his ex-wife only had one son, so the room designed for a girl naturally became empty.

 

“But why here?”

 

Although this room is empty, it is also cleaned regularly, the last time was two weeks ago, so it was not time to clean it yet.

 

Sarah asked on behalf of the maids.

 

“Ah, who is coming?”

 

Sarah licked her lips as she read Robert’s unusual mood.

 

Fortunately, Robert did not comment on the matter.

 

“There is a guest coming, hurry up because she will be arriving soon.”

 

He left the room without saying a word.

 

After he said this, the maids started to grumble while removing the white cloth and cleaning the room.

 

“Is there an important guest coming to reside in the guest room on the east side? .”

 

“Yes . What kind of guest is  given this room?”

 

“Maybe Mr….”

 

“Shhh, stop it, someone might hear.”

 

Sarah, who was shaking off the blankets, quickly silenced her colleagues.

 

The virtues that the servants of the nobility needed were not quick hands, extraordinary hair, or stamina but heavy mouths.

 

Do not talk rashly about the employer.

 

 These were the words Robert said to them when they entered the mansion for the first time.

 

After that, the maids started cleaning the room and talked about everyday things that had nothing to do with the Heinst family.

 

After cleaning they wondered if they could fill the empty their stomach now, but after cleaning Robert summoned all the Ducal Palace staff.

 

“The master is back.”

 

Sarah put the cleaning tools she was carrying in the pantry and went down to the first floor.

 

The other employees were already lined up next to the door.

 

Sarah looked at them seriously and stopped in the middle, the carriage bearing the Heinst family crest.

 

Sarah bowed and looked toward the carriage.

 

‘Huh? And what about the young master?

 

Certainly Theo was not in Carcel’s arms when he got out of the carriage.

 

He usually carried him when he got out of the carriage .

 

Sarah, staring strangely,when she could see a lady getting out of the carriage holding Carcel’s hand.

 

The woman who got off lightly from the carriage was a blond-haired woman with a warm feeling that did not match the cold autumn weather.

 

“Nona! This is Theo’s house!”

 

Theo babbled like birds in her arms.

 

‘Who is she ?’

 

Is she the owner of the room we cleaned? But why come with the Duke?

 

It seems that Carcel was taking care of the woman instead of being rumored to be having an affair.

 

She couldn’t believe he was riding in the carriage and escorting someone here.

 

It was news that would make not only the Heinst mansion but the entire capital roar.

 

Everyone may have felt the same as Sarah did, but the rest of the staff were shaken bowing down.

 

‘Huh?’

 

She looked at the unknown woman even though she knew that it was impudent.

 

When Sarah made eye contact with her, she couldn’t take her eyes off her.

 

‘Beautiful .’

 

Looking at her clothes, she didn’t look like a woman from a very rich family, but her pretty figure showed that she was a noble.

 

Sarah, who blinked vacantly, was able to quickly bend over in a hurry because of her colleague who poked her elbow.

 

But there was something more surprising.

 

“This is the fiancée of the master. Charlotte Lannia. She will be staying in the palace from now on, so take care of her.”

 

When the butler Robert announced the shock, all the staff became confused.

 

What do you mean the fiancée of the master? I thought he wasn’t interested in women?

 

Sarah who bowed her head in astonishment, felt a strange feeling after a few seconds and raised her head again.

 

 She made another eye contact with the woman.

 

***

 

Charlotte grabbed Theo’s hand and followed Robert up the stairs.

 

Robert walked with more elegant steps than nobles, but became slow in line with Theo’s speed.

 

Then he passed the white door on the third floor.

 

“Hey! This is the room!”

 

Theo, who was talking to Charlotte , extended his right hand and pointed to the door.

 

On the white door was an ornament with Theodore’s name.

 

When Charlotte stopped following him, Theo wiggled, grabbed her hand, and turned the doorknob.

 

“Here ! Let’s go inside!”
