Regressor Instruction Manual

Untitled Part 58

'Our power will remain even after the revolution is over.'

Even if a sacred democracy would begin, they would not lose power.

The same went for the nobles, some bourgeois classes, and us foreigners. Rather, I presented a vision that they would gain greater power, so they nodded.

Though they shook their head at the dangers of the real democracy Charlotte wanted, they had no choice but to recognize the benefits behind it. In the meantime, Oscar, who had been picked as the next leader, began working hard to fulfill her responsibilities.

This woman, called a symbol of democracy by some groups, was also one of those who made me feel the passage of time.

Perhaps she had gotten even busier than Charlotte.

It would never have been easy for her to become a symbol of democracy, coming from a maid. The undeniable fact was that she tried harder than anyone else.

It was effective as she followed my words properly.

When I first adopted Alice, I hadn't been expecting much, but she was surprisingly in line with my set conditions.

As I glanced toward the window, I saw her staring blankly at the sky – a short-haired with a sword worn in her waist.

All she learned was refined swordsmanship, but she achieved results within a short amount of time. Thanks to her hard work that is beyond her talent.

As I quietly called her name, she looked back in a hurry.

In fact, her expression or face itself was not all that different from before. However, the strangely changed vibe, and the emotions reflected in her eyes prove that my plan was indeed the right one.

"Oscar-nim."

"Ah... Honorary Bishop. You said you'd call me Alice when we were alone."

"Haha. Yes. I did. I must have been a little bit distracted as we have a big thing ahead."

"Don't worry too much, Honorary Bishop. Everything will work out. I will do my best to make your plan come true."

"Haha. Thank you for the words. And... Thank you so much for sharing this big burden with me."

"No. You don't have to say that. Actually, when the Honorary Bishop first called me, I was surprised, but now I feel very happy. I feel a sense of duty for what I am doing now. Yes. I really do."

"I don't know what to say as you think so."

"I'm the one who should say it."

"Maid Alice, no... Alice -nim, too."

"No. No! It's better to call me Maid. I like it better."

"But..."

"No, please. When there're only us, please call me like that. If even the Honorary Bishop calls me Oscar... I think... I'll get a little confused."

"I understand. If you say so..."

"Come to think of it, did you eat? If you didn't, I have to hurry to prepare..."

"No. No. It's fine. Actually, I just came here to make sure that Maid Alice is doing well."

"Then I'll serve you some tea!"

It was not bad to be served tea from the symbol of imperial democracy.

This was why I couldn't hate Alice.

Since she polished various skills under Charlia, the tea had been prepared in an instant. It felt as if all kinds of fatigue were gone by just taking a sip.
