Last year, a plague broke out and two slaves lost their lives. They had a child together, and my parents took her in out of pity.

My parents treated her like family, but to me, she still seems like nothing more than a slave.

One day, without consulting me, my parents sent that woman to my quarters under the pretext of housework. I treated her with indifference every day, but she was always bright.

Dan-hee taps my shoulder from behind.

Ta-da! Orabeoni~ I have tied my hair up today. This must be the first time you have seen me looking so lovely, right? Hehe. Do you like it?

She waits for praise with her clumsily tied hair.
