Chapter: 158

“Hannah?”

***

Hannah was Astelle’s maid.

Daughters from noble families had a maid of honor of the same age since childhood.

The maid who grew up together befriended the lady she served, and later become a maid who supports her lady.

Later, after the lady gets married, she goes to the lady’s husband’s mansion and works as the hostess’ chief maid.

She was Hannah to Astelle.

“Hannah, how are you……?”

Hannah cried and replied, “When I heard the news that the young lady was coming here, I asked the butler to be allowed to work here.”

When Astelle became empress and entered the imperial palace, Hannah also received the qualifications as a maid of the imperial palace, and she entered the imperial palace with Astelle.

However, Astelle was forced to leave the imperial palace and broke her ties with everything in the capital.

But Hannah still wanted to serve Astelle.

“I don’t need a maid anymore. I’m sorry Hannah.”

To be honest, she didn’t think she could afford to give Hannah a salary.

Hannah said she didn’t need money or anything like that, but Astelle didn’t want to trouble her young and prosperous maid.

At that time she didn’t even know that she was pregnant.

She went into the forest alone and thought to live alone.

She couldn’t even pull Hannah into such a life.

“You are qualified to work in the imperial palace. Don’t throw that opportunity away and live for yourself.”

Hannah is the daughter of a poor rural noble, she lost her parents when childhood.

She could not return to the duke’s house, because she now had no lady to serve.

If she worked as a maid of the imperial palace, she could earn a higher salary than from a noble house and could have a good marriage.

Astelle soothed her and sent her into the imperial palace.

She did not see her after that.

Hannah, lifting her dark brown hair neatly and wearing the maid uniform, hadn’t changed much from six years ago.
