4. The Confusing Task
A young woman was now smiling warmly at him. Kim returned the smile, thinking about the mission given to him by Marcella Pendragon, which was to approach Sabrina Pendragon.
"Did Marcella really ask me to make this good woman suffer? Sabrina isn't the type of person who looks down on anyone. Honestly, Marcella, you have no conscience."
"Right, your name is Kim, isn't it?" Sabrina asked in a soft and friendly tone.
"Yes, that's my name, Lady..." Kim replied.
"I've heard a lot about you. I hear you work very hard as Marcella's servant. I hope you still see the good side of Marcella, right, Kim?"
Kim smiled and bowed respectfully. To him, Sabrina Pendragon was a kind and beautiful woman.
"Are you going to the garden, Lady?" Kim asked.
"Oh, yes, I'm going there. Is there something? Why do you ask?" Sabrina replied.
"Sorry if I'm being forward. I just wanted to accompany you, if you don't mind," Kim said politely.
"Oh, I see. Then let's go. You can accompany me. I'm very grateful. The more, the merrier, right?" Sabrina said with a friendly smile.
'You're kind and really my type...' Kim thought to himself.
The female servants who were following Sabrina felt uncertain, as something might complicate things if Kim joined. There were two reasons: besides being Marcella's personal servant, Kim had black hair and eyes, making him look different. Nevertheless, the servants could only understand the situation and didn't dare to stop Sabrina, given her kind and friendly nature toward anyone.

"Hahaha~" Marcella laughed as Kim returned to report that he had successfully talked and spent a considerable amount of time with Sabrina.
"So, you just chatted? Didn't Kim take any initiative in carrying out the task? Does Kim think this is a date?"
"You told me to get close to Lady Sabrina," Kim replied flatly.
"Fool! Do something, like spilling tea on her dress!"
"Lady Sabrina? If I do that, I'll definitely get in trouble..."
"You'll only get a small punishment. What matters is my satisfaction, right?"
'Why has this woman become so brainless? Is Marcella pretending to be stupid, or does she want me to die young?' Kim thought, frustrated.
"I've already spent a lot of money on you for training. Don't forget all the efforts I've made to make you more useful, understand?"
"I understand, but I need time so that you won't be affected as well..."
"How long do you need?"
"It's uncertain, Lady. It's very difficult to do unless Lady Sabrina is outside the residence..."
"..."
"And rushing would be dangerous too. It needs the right timing. Besides, you know how people and the Crown Prince are. They'll definitely investigate this matter," Kim said seriously.
Marcella Pendragon furrowed her brow, processing all of Kim's words, which seemed to make sense.
Marcella waved her hand as if shooing away a fly, and Kim left the place.
Kim smiled in relief every time his steps were followed by convincing words, which immediately made Marcella Pendragon unable to respond. This became a decision for Kim.
"Marcella only knows how to speak harshly and raise her voice. Her intelligence is very ambiguous, sometimes she can be so foolish. Do you think everything is easy and that you can just get rid of whatever you want to get rid of?"
