The peaceful Olivias’ Desmunt Mansion.

-Gulp...

Olivia, who had awoken from her sleep feeling unusually refreshed today, stared blankly at the ceiling with her sparkling eyes wide open.

“Hmm...”

A single star. Two stars.

Olivia watched the phosphorescent stars Ricardo had put up on the ceiling, hoping that she would never get tired of looking at them.

They were only cheap phosphorescent stars, but to Olivia, who often spent time looking at the ceiling by herself, they shone like the Milky Way.

-What does the Big Dipper look like....

-What are you doing?

-I’m creating a night sky that I can see every day on the ceiling.

-Why?

-I think I’ll get tired of looking at the same ceiling.

-You can see it if you open the window.

-It’ll feel different. Besides, I can pluck these stars and give them to you.

-Pluck stars for me?

-Don’t you remember what I told you at the butler’s appointment ceremony?

-That you wouldn’t let me starve?

-No, that’s not it.

As Olivia recalled the past, she smiled faintly.

“Silly.”

Judging from the fact that the phosphorescent stars were still shining, it seemed to be the early hours of the morning, before dawn. Phosphorescent stars only lost their light when morning came.

Olivia, who had woken up early from her sleep, pouted her lips and resented herself for waking up early. If she woke up at this hour, she wouldn’t be able to listen properly to the fairy tale Ricardo read to her in the evening because she would be too sleepy.

“I have to go back to sleep....”

But sleep didn’t come easily.

Olivia took a deep breath and was about to let out her usual scream. She was going to say the words that worried the empire for its safety and at the same time, she was going to make Ricardo laugh and say, ‘Poo-hahaha! What’s that!’.

“Air raid...”

Olivia covered her mouth with her hand and swallowed it back. It was too early to wake Ricardo up now.

Olivia turned to the clock on the wall, swallowing her sour voice as she needed to Ricardo enough time to rest from his busy schedule.

-Tick-tock. Tick-tock.

It was currently 4 AM.

There were still 2 hours left until Ricardo woke up.

“I’m bored.”

Olivia pouted and hugged the blanket. It wasn’t fun to endure these 2 hours alone.

Her eyes were wide open and it seemed difficult to fall asleep again, and even if she did, she would wake up soon. No matter how much she was a beautiful woman who loved to sleep, there was a limit.

Time would pass by quickly if Ricardo was here. It was too early to wake him up, and Olivia sighed deeply and pouted.

“I’m bored...”

She was bored by herself.

She needed someone to play with.

Olivia carefully looked under the bed. There was only one being who could play with her at this hour.

Who wouldn’t say anything even if woken up.

A jobless layabout who was the most gangster-like in the mansion.

Olivia smiled with satisfaction and checked if he was sleeping there today too.

-Phew...

“Hehehe...”

Olivia smiled as she looked at the lump of black fur curled up under her bed. It had been a while since she had asserted her proper rights as its owner, so now was the time to collect on her investment.

Olivia slowly began to reach her fingers under the bed.

“Get up.”

“Poof,” her fingers sank deep into the fur. Olivia chuckled at the fluffy sensation.

Now, it would be startled awake and play with her...

-...

Olivia poked the lump of fur again, a question mark forming above her head.

“Get up...”

“Woof.”

“Get up, you pig.”

“Groan...”

There was no response.

As if fiercely determined to prove that it loved sleep more than its owner, Ggomtang didn’t budge and continued to ignore its owner’s calls, letting out soft growls.

“...”

Her pride wounded, Olivia stared blankly at Ggomtang. She wondered if she was really this creature’s owner.

She had given it delicious snacks, played with it, and even brushed its fur when it was too lazy to do it itself. But now, when /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ its owner needed it, this pet was being utterly unhelpful.

Olivia clenched her fists and began pounding on Ggomtang as if she was going to turn it into minced meat.

“Eeeek! Get up!”

She kept throwing soft punches, thinking that if she hit it enough, it would eventually wake up. However, the heavily built Ggomtang only fell into a deeper sleep.

“Poof...”

Olivia glared at Kongtang, feeling a surge of betrayal.

“Eeeek...”

In my house.

Olivia was annoyed that she was being ignored by the beast eating the food that her butler had made.

Olivia shook Kongtang and whined.

“Lil’ bear. I’m bored.”

-...

“I said I’m bored.”

-...

“Eeeek... I’m bored!”

Kongtang, who had fat in his ears, was diligently ignoring Olivia.

Olivia sighed and thought. She decided that she would tell Ricardo to raise Kongtang outside starting tomorrow. She would also tell him to reduce his food and take away his snacks. In the past, she would have told him to throw it away, but she couldn’t bring herself to do that because it felt too cruel.

After all, if she released such a gentle and spoiled thing into the wild, it would definitely starve to death.

Olivia gave up on playing with Kongtang and went to bed to sleep.

She could hear many noises coming from outside the window.

The sound of crickets chirping.

The sound of a deer crying ‘Kueeeek’.

The sound of the wind blowing.

The sounds of nature that reverberated in the moonlight illuminating the night sky were gentle and tranquil.

Olivia smiled warmly and pulled the blanket tightly around her at the peaceful sounds that other people would call healing.

“Yikes... Scary.”

Olivia was very scared.

To be exact, she was scared of ghosts.

You can hit monsters or people, but you can’t hit ghosts, so Olivia, who thinks that force is the fastest means of communication in the world, thought that ghosts were like unbeatable strong enemies.

Besides, Olivia also thought that she was a being hated by God. Because of her usual conduct and because she had a lot of experience stealing snacks from the church, Olivia, who has a conscience, didn’t even expect divine power.

Olivia, who was good at objectifying herself, muttered in a trembling voice while clutching the blanket tightly.

“Scary...”

It was funny that such a grown adult was scared of this, but what can you do if you’re scared? You have to say you’re scared.

Olivia hated the sleep that didn’t come easily and reacted sensitively to the small sounds she could hear.

-Whoosh.

“Yikes!”

-Bear....

“Yikes!”

-Owl...

“Yikes!”

The blowing wind seemed especially chilly today. Olivia wanted to close the window, but she gave up neatly because she felt like a ghost would come out if she closed the window.

She had been fighting this battle by herself for about 30 minutes.

“Yikes...”

Olivia, who still hadn’t fallen asleep, stuck her face out of the blanket and began to breathe in the fresh air.

It was the result of a great effort.

Under the covers, I deliberated and deliberated whether or not to come out, but the courage I mustered up to say, “I don’t know,” was a huge challenge for Olivia.

Olivia sighed with a sullen expression.

“Idiot. Where would there be a ghost?”

-Whizzing...

“Eek! I’m sorry!”

Even I think I worry too much about useless things.

Olivia drank some water to refresh herself and laid down on the bed more or less straight to fall asleep again, her mind gradually calming down. She felt like she would be able to sleep this time.

About 10 minutes passed since she went to sleep with a refreshed mind.

“...Oh no.”

A new difficulty began to loom frighteningly in front of Olivia, who had overcome the difficult obstacle of darkness.

Olivia opened her eyes wide and puffed out her cheeks.

“Did I drink too much water...”

Olivia fidgeted with her fingers at the anxiety that was creeping up on her. It seemed like she was getting the signal because she drank too much water.

Olivia mumbled softly, fidgeting with her fingers.

“I have to pee...”

It was still an hour until Ricardo would wake up.

Unable to go to the bathroom by herself, Olivia bit her lip tightly and looked resentfully at the clock that seemed to have stopped.

“Why are you going so...”

-Click.

“Go faster.”

Olivia’s face began to flush bright red. She didn’t want to wake Ricardo up, but she really needed to use the restroom.

Olivia clenched her fists and began to endure it.

And then.

“Sniff... sniff...”

She decided to give up gracefully in order to preserve her human dignity. She figured she had respected her valet’s sleep time enough as it was.

Just as Olivia, unable to hold it in any longer, was about to utter a familiar word in a choked voice.

“Air raid...”

-Creak

Along with the sound of the door opening, Ricardo, who had finished his shower, entered the room.

Ricardo, who had a towel around his neck and a refreshed expression on his face, smiled faintly when he saw Olivia.

“Oh my? You’re not asleep, miss?”

Olivia spoke to Ricardo in a trembling voice.

From noble mtl dot com

“Ricardo...”

“Yes?”

“I have to pee.”

Ricardo chuckled lightly at Olivia’s words and nodded.

“That is quite the emergency.”
