I Picked Up the Trash Others Threw Away - Chapter 22.1
Chapter 22.1
‘Come to think of it, there really isn’t much time left until the wedding.’
Unlike modern times, there was not much to prepare, like wedding invitations and ceremony halls, because it was all entrusted to the servants.
When I asked what kind of dress was chosen and what kind of jewelry I would use, they said they decided everything according to what their masters liked, which was good because I wasn’t greedy.
Perhaps because of their ruffian son, the count and countess were looking at me with a very generous gaze.
Not to mention the barons, who became acquainted with the count’s family without any effort.
“The news of the wedding will be on the front page tomorrow. We’ve already arranged for a reporter.”
“Then you should be even more careful with your behavior. Please refrain from going out for a while.”
“Does the Lady have something to say?”
Suddenly, the hallway became noisy.
Hearing the voices of the servants and the words ‘my lord’, it seemed that Count Malekiah had returned to the mansion.
“My father must have returned. Right on time. Let’s go see him.”
“Ah, wait.”
I meticulously checked if there were any snack crumbs on my mouth or dress and stood up.
As we left the parlor and came out into the hallway, I saw the count heading towards his office as he received news of the mansion from the butler, Stefan.
“Father!”
Trish drew closer, calling out to the count confidently, and the count turned around with a stiff face.
Then, when he saw me next to him, he quickly rejoiced.
“Lady Delphonie is also here. Did something happen, Trish?”
“Audrey doesn’t have an escort knight, so I’m going to have one from our family accompany her.”
Was this the reason why he suddenly called out to the count?
Looking closely, he had the kind of charm of worrying and taking care of things in his own way. Was this why so many women fell for Trish even though they knew he was a bad guy?
Count Malekiah laughed as if he was being ridiculous and graciously allowed it.
“You can deal with that much on your own. Go ahead.”
“Thank you, Father.”
“Yes. I’d like to share a cup of tea, but unfortunately, I’m busy right now. I’ll call you again next time.”
When Count Malekiah and Stefan entered the office, Trish asked one of the attendants to call the escort knights.
Shortly after returning to the parlor, I could hear the footsteps of the knights walking in unison in the hallway.
Allen, Trish’s official escort, stood at the head of the knights who looked puzzled by the unexpected call.
“Young Master, is something the matter?”
“I need one knight to be dispatched to be Lady Audrey’s escort. All you have to do is stick around her before the wedding. Any volunteer?”
“Why is the explanation so brief?”
As if he couldn’t be bothered explaining everything, Trish looked back at the knights standing in line and spoke to me.
“Or you choose. They’re all pretty much the same except for Allen.”
“Even so, this is…”
Weren’t the knights’ own intentions more important?
He would have to stay at the Delphonie mansion for at least two weeks. Just thinking of the knight who would be taken away and receive such poor treatment that was incomparable to the count’s family made me feel sorry.
But among them, a knight carefully raised his hand and asked, “Am I, then, excluded from training and dispatching while I assist Lady Audrey?”
“That’s right. Unless the Lady is visiting the mansion.”
As soon as Trish answered, the hesitant knights all raised their hands and shouted.
“I will offer support to Lady Audrey!”
“Lady, I will do my best to serve you!”
What, what was wrong with everyone all of a sudden?
Looking back at Trish in bewilderment, he answered casually as if he knew the reason.
“It seems that they don’t want to receive Allen’s training. He’s such a scrupulous guy; he never turns a blind eye to anything.”
“It’s been a long dream of mine to be an escort knight serving a lady. Please give me a chance!”
Helplessly, I turned to the knights who were trying to win me over and quietly chose one of them with my eyes.
‘Which one should I choose? Let’s see.’
Eeny meeny miny moe… A glow appeared on the face of the knight at the end of my fingertip.
He looked as if he had been selected as an escort partner.
“Thank you for choosing me!”
‘It was a random choice, though.’
Instead of answering, I simply smiled. Ah, whatever. It’s good to get an escort knight for free.
