Chapter 2:


    At that insignificant and childish appearance, Sarah clicked her tongue. Before they knew it, her gentle face became cold as if the temperature had dropped.


    "Please note that it is unfair for only Sarah Millen to be recognized as a Countess."


    At those words, May trembled and swallowed her saliva without realizing it. May was much easier to deal with than Sarah had expected. She could tell just by looking at her hastily averting her gaze to hide her trembling eyes.


    ''May Chenblun. It is foolish to be weak against the strong and infinitely strong against the weak.''


    Sarah knew the appearance of May Chenblun in the novel ''Flower of Darkness''.


    ''No one will love you, Young Master ude.''


    ''How can I truly love Young Master ude, who can kill people more simply than breathing?''


    ''You killed Sarah, your nanny, didn''t you?''


    She was the extra who whispered these words and encouraged ude to fall further into despair. The most appropriate way to deal with May was to press her down with the logic of overwhelming power. That way, she wouldn''t dare to think about what to do. Sarah looked down and met May''s eyes.


    "......Let''s have a simple ss."


    The way she looked down at May with azure eyes was arrogant, but at the same time, it suited her very well. Under Sarah''s power, May trembled involuntarily.


    "Now, repeat after me. Miss May."


    Sarah spoke in a sweet voice as if she were teaching a child an unfamiliar word.


    "Countess, Millen."


    "......!"


    May''s face, which was thought to be unable to turn any redder, now heated up as if it was about to explode. Seeing that, Sarah said with a smile.


    "Come on."


    Her eyes gleamed and shimmered in the cold light. With the unknown spirit emanating from Sarah, May had no choice but to repeat her words as if she was vomiting it out without her knowing.


    "Coun, Countess Millen."


    At the same time, May frowned and covered her mouth.


    "Good job."


    Sarah smiled sweetly and praised May, then turned her gaze away and passed by her indifferently as if she had finished her errands.


    "......"


    "......"


    Watching Sarah walk to ude''s room with a cane on her side and the fine silk gloves on both hands off one by one, the Duke''s servants quietly raised their thumbs.


    "I appreciate Miss May''s consideration, but I will only ept her heart. From now on, Young Lord ude Ambrosia is under my jurisdiction."


    Sarah, who was shocked by ude''s unexpected rejection, was able to regain her reason thanks to May''s tantrum. Sarah didn''t fully realize this one thing until she stood before ude''s tightly closed door.


    ''It was strange that the world would only move as written in ''Flower of Darkness''. Even if it changes a little now, what I have to do doesn''t change.''


    She had an oath with ude''s biological mother, Dieline. The Duchess, Dieline Ambrosia, was ude''s biological mother, but the current Duke, Ethan Ambrosia, was not ude''s biological father.


    ude''s biological father was not the Duke, but his younger brother, Hugel Ambrosia.


    ''I''m going with Hugel. And I will nevere back to the Crombell Empire again. Tell the child that I am dead. Forget about a mother who is worse than death and please live happily ever after. So you have to help me, Sarah.''


    ''I swear on the soul of Sarah Millen. I will give my all so that your child can be happy.''


    Sarah was obligated to keep that oath. Duke Ethan Ambrosia, who announced his nephew as his son, took care of ude more carefully than anyone else. However, around this time, children were more sensitive to the feelings of their guardians than anyone else. That Duke Ethan Ambrosia was secretly avoiding him. He gave ude everything he wants, but he didn''t give him the ''love'' of his parents. The child would have realized it too soon. Listening to the child''s crying more clearly in front of the door, Sarah swallowed her breath in regret. How could she cover the wounds of a child who believed in the story that his mother died after giving birth to him? Sarah decided to just think about it.


    "I can''t do what the Flower of Darkness wants."


    Sarah muttered as if promising herself, and put her palm on the door. ude''s first misfortune was that he considered himself not worthy of being loved and hated himself. Twisting and twisting through endless self-hatred. In the end, he wanted to destroy everything as much as he was unhappy with himself. He didn''t want to be oppressed by the cursed power of Ambrosia. ude ended up being the viin that led this Empire to destruction.


    ''In the Flower of Darkness, I, ude''s nanny, will die. But Sarah Millen of the Flower of Darkness and I are different.''


    Seeing Sarah''s face full of solemnity, the servants reluctantly retreated. May was the only one who felt that something was going wrong. She approached quickly and tried to restrain Sarah.


    "It''s no use! ude only listens to me, so just tell me what......!"


    "Shush."


    Sarah lifted her index finger and put it on her lips, looking at May blocking her. Then, when she smiled brightly, May flinched and stepped back. She finally eximed, snorted her nose, and shook her head. It was an attitude to try if you could. Sarah was then able to knock on ude''s door without any interruption.


    "Young Lord Ambrosia, can Ie in for a moment?"


    "Go! Go away!"


    The child''s cry grew louder at the unfamiliar voice. It was a voice full of anger at the situation that did not change even after he said no to it several times. Everyone here knew very well that this could not convince the child. A deep resignation appeared on the faces of the servants. But Sarah''s face was full of rxation. In fact, in case this happens, she had something confirmed in advance by Ethan Ambrosia, the head of the dukedom.


    [One, leave all of ude Ambrosia''s education to Sarah Millen.


    Two, the Duke of Ambrosia is responsible for all necessary actions in the process, and shall actively cooperate but not interfere.


    Three, trust Sarah Millenpletely.]


    Ethan Ambrosia epted this ridiculous and monstrous one-sided condition. So Sarah decided to push ahead as she wished. If ude didn''t open up, she could make advances to him diligently in the future. If ude rejected her, it meant that she would break in.


    ''It''s fun to pierce through the obstacle!''


    If the Duke of Ambrosia had known what was going on in Sarah''s head, he would never have epted the above terms. Sarah, who thought so, smiled and opened her mouth.


    "Young Master ude?"


    "What!"


    "I will go in believing that you have given me permission. If you are near the door, please stay far away for a while."


    "Huh?"


    Obviously, he refused, but when did he give permission. ude''s voice mumbled as if puzzled. Sarah heard the footsteps behind the door for a moment. Just in case, she let out her mana and checked, and she could clearly feel the child lying on the bed and slouching his head. A faint smile crept across her lips.


    "Very good."


    Sarah stretched out her hand towards the door. Then, azure mana that resembled her eyes flowed from her fingertips, creating a small magic circle in front of the door. The eyes of May and the servants who were watching Sarah''s actions widened in astonishment. Leaving those faces behind, Sarah lightly tingled her fingers.


    Baaaaaang!!


    The heavy and sturdy door flew lightly like a piece of paper with a light sound. The door flew through the window and crashed into the corner of the Duke''s garden with a loud noise.


    "......!"


    ude, who had been crying with his head buried in the bed, looked at his open door in surprise.


    Tears that could not be wiped flowed down his plump cheeks on his cute little face. While ude, as well as the servants, was stunned, Sarah smiled and leisurely walked into the room. May, who was confident that Sarah would not be able to enter ude''s room without her help, pointed her finger at Sarah''s back with her mouth open.
