I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem
Vol. 9: The Fate of The Masterpiece
Chapter 05
“Did My Mother tell you to find out where I sent Penny away?”
“Oh, yes! She did. She ordered me to investigate the whereabouts of your former maid-in-waiting, My Lady.”
Fiona pursed her lips ferociously in astonishment.
“She ordered that I DEFINITELY HAVE to find out her whereabouts as she proudly put me in this maid’s uniform.”
Tsk tsk tsk.
Later, she would faint if she found out that Fiona is Penny’s sister.
“I’m glad you don’t have any resemblance to Penny.”
“I know right, My Lady?”
Fiona is quite tall for a woman. Penny was about a finger taller than me, but Fiona was more than a hand taller.
Maybe because she worked too much, she looked thick and strong.
She has a completely different impression than Penny.
“My sister told me to kick the Countess whenever I had a chance.”
What a pair of sisters…… so belligerent.
Penny wasn’t like that before, but maybe because of her determination to protect me, her fighting power has increased significantly.
“Then tell My Mother that I told you I don’t know where the former maid-in-waiting whereabouts but you thought that I seemed to know where she is.”
“Because you think that she might order me to dig a little more, My Lady?”
“Yeah. And also tell her that I told you her name was Penny and that I seemed to rely on her a lot.”
“Yes. After all, my sister told me in advance to pretend not to know her.”
“Good job. You are such a smart girl.”
Fiona blushed and laughed as I complimented her.
For Fiona whose father is always busy, not having her mother next to her, and with her only older sister away, she’s always alone.
That was why Fiona was greatly pleased with my little word, perhaps because there was no one around to compliment her.
‘I shall compliment her often.’
“Did you see Penny before you left? I told her to stop by the house for a minute before leaving.”
“Yes. She came before she went to the eastern forest.”
The eastern forest was connected to the Crawford family’s hunting grounds.
Penny was looking for the unidentified woman on the hunting ground now under my orders.
“Penny will be fine, right?”
“Of course, My Lady. She even said that she would take a look at the situation and send a letter. She told me to read it for you, My Lady.”
Penny will write a letter?
She doesn’t know how to write, so how will she write a letter and how will Fiona read it?
I was going to teach Penny to write.
However, I couldn’t teach her because she refused to learn.
“Did you learn how to read?”
“Oh, no. I hate books.”
How can this family hate studying so much?
“But how will you read a letter?”
“Oh, we draw a picture, a way that only my sister and I use to communicate.”
Oho, that’s great.
This way, I could know the situation without worrying if anyone would notice.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I’ll hear about Penny’s situation.”
“Don’t mention it, My Lady. By the way, this!”
Fiona, embarrassed, handed me a small pouch.
When I opened and looked into the pouch, there was money.
It was about one million runa.
“It was given to me by the Countess.”
“Don’t feel pressured and use it as pocket money.”
I closed the pouch again and handed it to Fiona.
“From now on, you can spend all the money my mother gives you with your family. No need to report it to me.”
“Really……?”
“Yeah. Say my regards to Parsley.”
“Thank you, My Lady! Thank you!”
When I saw Fiona bowing her head, I felt sorry for Camilla, who would be proud of herself in the cold room.
‘I am the one who planted the spy, but she is the one who pays for it.’

Camila’s trip to the capital is just a day away.
Cedric held a small banquet for her as he promised.
Under Cedric’s name, all the ladies of the Western society attended.
Of course, Cedric must have hated such a position.
“I heard you want the barbarian village to settle down well in the west.”
“Sigh…… that’s right.”
I pushed Cedric on the back, who didn’t want to go to the banquet hall.
Perhaps because he was so well-dressed, he certainly stood out so handsomely.
“We have to let the ladies step into the Aina Village first. That way, the village won’t become a hate area.”
The barbarian village, Aina, is located within the empty Crawford Farm, so the other villagers have not yet had a chance to meet them.
However, if the village wasn’t managed properly, it would become a hateful area, and if rumors spread, the entire West could be affected.
“Tell them that you are thinking about holding a Thanksgiving Festival in Aina after this harvest season.”
“It will be the first time for the Barbarians to farm. You know how much of the harvest will be there?”
“I don’t know, so I’m just thinking about it.”
“…… Right.”
As I tidied up Cedric’s cravat, I glanced at him.
“Will you escort Mother?”
“I don’t do that.”
I knew it.
Since Camilla doesn’t have a husband, it’s polite for Cedric to escort her.
“Do you have a woman in mind……?”
“It’s okay even if I don’t.”
“Uncle, I will be honest with you.”
As I was putting on his cuffs, I brought up something that could be sensitive.
“After kicking out Mother, you soon will be the head of Count Crawford. But your position will be unstable if you have no successor.”
“Why is there no successor?”
