Chaos in Alwyn's room

Since Atthy came to this castle, Atthy never once complained or even tried to step out of the castle. Everyone in the castle knew that Atthy only came from a poor lower-class aristocrat. However, they also greatly admired Atthy's elegant demeanor. Atthy understood the ethics and manners of a noble very well, so they were quite surprised to hear Atthy come out of the castle without even a personal servant or bodyguard by her side.

''What do you mean? What is she doing outside the castle alone?!” Alwyn asked with a very serious face.

"Sorry... I'm sorry Mr. Gusev... We... We didn't know about that either... Only one of the guards said that he saw the Duchess walking towards the back gate" Stella said, frantically seeing the look on Alwyn's face.

They didn't have long to talk, and there was another knock on the door.

“Come in!” shouted Alwyn, the owner of the room.

“You?!... Aren't you a newly recruited guard?” Alwyn asked, surprised. How dare a new guard come to him in his office.

''Yes... I'm sorry, Mr. Gusev. I'm the guard at the back gate… Just now, the Duchess asked me to give this to Master…” The guard said as he handed a large envelope to Alwyn.

“Ah!...” the guard shrieked when he saw Helena, “Mrs. Whitmore, you too, the Duchess left this,” the guard said again as he handed Helena a smaller envelope.

“Wait!... Why is it on you? Why did you have to hand it over?!'' Helena asked with a surprised look on her face.

“I don't know madam, the Duchess just said that it should be handed over immediately” replied the guard.

“Then where is the Duchess?!” Helena exclaimed in a harsh tone.

''Duchess has gone'' replied the guard again.

“What?!... Go?!... Where? with who?'' Helena asked even more furiously, glaring at the new guard.

“Yes, madam… The Duchess is gone, alone… I don't know where Duchess is going… She didn't say anything… Thuh, sorry…''

The guard answered haltingly, seeing the uncomfortable situation in the room, not to mention hurling questions at him regarding the Duchess. The guard realized that he had made a mistake. He was very frightened now by it.

"What the hell?!... Why did you let the Duchess go alone?!" Helena shouted, rebuking the guard in anger.

“I'm sorry… I'm sorry Mrs. Helena… Sorry, I really don't know anything. The Duchess said, Your Majesty, the Duke already knows of her departure” replied the guard with a panicked expression.

''YOU FOOL!” exclaimed Alwyn suddenly, as he finished looking at the contents of the envelope in his hand.

They were all surprised by Alwyn's screams, especially now that there was anger on his always flat face.

"Master Gusev..." said the guard, with a more frightening face than before.

“You're a guard, don't you see it's weird to see a Duchess step out without any bodyguards?… Call all the guards, find the Duchess immediately!” Alwyn exclaimed, sternly ordering the new guard.

He immediately came out with a panicked face after saluting and saying goodbye, immediately carrying out Alwyn's orders. Not far from Alwyn, Helena was seen with a disappointed and regretful face when she read the letter Atthy had left the guard for her.

Dear Helena

A stern head maid who loves me dearly, thank you for everything you did for me. I'm sorry, Helena, for not being able to say goodbye to you.

Say goodbye from me to Lily and Miriam too. I really like them. Unfortunately, I only have a few days to be with them.

Helena, I returned all the clothes and accessories that your master gave me. I didn't have any of those things with me, nor did Stella, Bela, and Rosa. The three of them are the servants your Master gave me. To be honest, for three months they worked to serve me. I can't pay their wages. I don't have that money, Helena. Therefore, I entrust them to you, asking your master to pay their wages. Since I never asked to be given servants, your master himself sent them to me, so your master must be responsible for their wages.

I'm sorry Helena, I have to go this way because, seeing your attitude this morning, you will definitely continue to get in my way. I made a promise to your master, I must keep it. Thanks for everything, take care of your health, Helena.

PS. I love you so much, you are like my mother Helena.

In tears, Helena read the farewell letter from Atthy, besides Atthy's love for her. Helena barely knew half of the contents of Atthy's letter. Helena was still not aware of the In full. She still found it difficult to accept Atthy's decision to simply leave Skythia Castle.

''Mrs. Helena, what's wrong? What's in the letter?'' asked Alwyn with a curious expression.

''The Duchess's farewell to me... The Duchess has left this castle because she promised His Excellency my lord the Duke'' Helena replied in a curt tone and a look on her face, blaming Alwyn.

Alwyn could only rub his chest in his heart seeing Helena, who was no longer able to act professionally as a head maid. Helena's obvious anger towards Alwyn made her very uncomfortable. But, he could only helplessly respond to Helena. Once again, amidst the chaos in Alwyn's office, there was a knock on the door asking permission to enter.

"Master Alwyn! Ah... Mrs. Helena, are you here too?'' Doctor Sarah asked. She was surprised to see them all gathered in the room.

''Doctor Sarah?'' exclaimed Alwyn asked. He was surprised by her presence.

''Yes!... Why are you looking at me like that? Mr. Alwyn, you sent someone to me to come here immediately earlier ...'' said Doctor Sarah, answering the surprise of the two of them.

''Ah yes...'' Alwyn said, just remembering that this morning Helena asked him to call Doctor Sarah.

“Oh my... Right... Duchess, she's injured, her body isn't well. Alwyn, do something. Find the Duchess immediately... Alwyn! What if something happens to her...'' Helena exclaimed, who was also surprised, she had just remembered Atthy's physical condition.

''Ha?!... Yes... Alright, I know... I'm sorry doctor Sarah. But, can you wait a minute, I have to go soon...'' Alwyn said goodbye to Doctor Sarah. This time, it was clear that Alwyn was very worried.

"Hm?! Yes... All right...'' said Doctor Sarah, who was still confused by what happened.

Doctor Sarah was actually quite surprised, she saw a strange expression that she had never seen in the four months she had known Alwyn and Helena, who had always had a flat expression. Very professional as a servant, especially Alwyn.

''It turns out, he's also human, huh... I thought he couldn't possibly show a face like that'' Doctor Sarah muttered in her heart.
