Reborn As Noble

Chapter 50 - 50: When Plans Go Awry ( 50 )

Meanwhile, in one of the guest rooms of the estate, Lady Gracelle's maid, Marta, was pacing frantically, her hands clasped together as she tried to keep her voice down but failed miserably.

"Hiiiiii! Where is Lady Gracelle?!" she squeaked, her face pale with panic.

She checked the bed for the tenth time, fluffing the empty pillow as if Gracelle might magically reappear.

As she flustered about, a knock came at the door. One of the Armand household maids peeked inside, bowing politely.

"Good morning, Miss Marta. I've come to inform you about Lady Gracelle's whereabouts," she said with a serene tone.

Marta immediately rushed toward her, gripping her arms. "Oh, thank goodness! Where is she? Did she get lost? Please tell me nothing has happened to her!"

The Armand household maid coughed lightly, trying to suppress a laugh. "Oh, no, nothing of the sort. Lady Gracelle was last seen… hugging our young master Javier quite tightly in his room."

Marta's jaw dropped. "H-Hugging? Your young master? In his room? What—why—what is going on?!"

"Well, I think it's best if you see for yourself," the Armand maid replied with a practiced smile. "Please follow me. I'll escort you to their location."

Still flustered and muttering under her breath, Marta adjusted her apron and followed the maid through the estate corridors, her mind racing.

Lady Gracelle, what have you gotten yourself into? Hugging a noble young master first thing in the morning? How am I supposed to explain this to your mother if this causes a scandal?

Meanwhile, in his room, Javier could feel his patience and personal space being steadily suffocated by the overly enthusiastic young lady clinging to him. Her arms were tightly wrapped around him, and her bright, adoring eyes left him with nowhere to escape.

Ugh… this little girl is way too clingy! Hello, lady? Ever heard of personal space? I can't even breathe here!

"Javier-sama," Gracelle said softly, her cheeks glowing with a rosy hue. "This morning was so wonderful... Waking up next to you felt like a dream." She leaned in closer. "I wish every morning could be like this."

Javier's eyebrow twitched. Hello? Lady, I'm not your husband! Get off me, already! This is suffocating!

Gracelle beamed at him, completely ignoring the subtle signs of his discomfort. "Javier-sama, we have the entire week together. Isn't it wonderful? I'm so happy I could spend this time with you."

Javier forced a polite smile.

Entire week? ENTIRE WEEK OF HELL! Liana!! You demon maid! You orchestrated this, didn't you?

"Yes, yes, Lady Gracelle… but for now, how about we… go eat breakfast?" His voice was strained, but his polite facade stayed intact.

Gracelle pulled back slightly but still clung to his arm. "Of course, Javier-sama!"

Gracelle tightened her hug, oblivious to the storm brewing behind his polite noble demeanor. Javier's thoughts spiraled into despair.

Seven days of this… I'm doomed. Someone save me… No, scratch that—LIANAAA! I will make you pay for this!

Just as Javier and Gracelle stepped into the hallway, they were greeted by the frantic voice of Gracelle's personal maid.

"Lady Gracelle! Where have you been? I've been

Javier, feeling the weight of everyone's eyes on him, forced a polite smile. "Of course. I would be happy to write, Lady Gracelle."

And hopefully not see you for a while.Geh!

Gracelle turned to him, her expression brightening slightly at his words. "Really? You promise?"

"Absolutely," Javier replied.

Liana, this is still your fault!

Lady Silvia gave her daughter a reassuring pat. "There, you see? You'll have plenty of chances to stay connected. Now, let's not delay—we'll need time to prepare for the journey."

Gracelle nodded, though the disappointment in her eyes lingered as she excused herself to prepare for their departure.

As Lady Silvia moved to finalize the arrangements with her staff, Javier couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement wash over him.

Finally, some peace! Gracelle is going home. I can breathe again .Just a little more time, and I'll be free! Eheheheheh
