First off, let me introduce myself.
Hi~! I’m Light. 😉
End of introduction.
It’s actually my first time to post here. >///< To be honest, I’ve read the whole thing in one month 😆. Nicca and I have been talking about it almost everyday. LMAO. I barge into her DM just to tell her parts of the story. I needed someone I can scream with. She was actually the one who kept on asking me to post this one. For a month too, mind you. I wasn’t planning to, but here we are. How I found this series and started reading it? Nicca’s fault. How I started posting the tl? Nicca’s fault. So be thankful to this soft bun. Dear lord, I really love this boy in this series. squeals. He is just too precious I tell you. There’s a lot of fluff and drama imo in the series. I was really nervous about posting this. Actually, I wanted to skip some parts and just post all the fluffy and drama moments. Hahaha. No, I can’t read korean, google and papago can. But I had some help special thanks to Rin 💖sweety, thank you so much. She reviewed everything to make sure my tl is more or less accurate.
Ok, just to be clear. I am not committing on translating the series. SO ANYONE WHO IS WILLING TO TAKE THIS SERIES, YOU ARE WELCOME TO DO SO JUST MESSAGE US. I’ll be more than willing to give you the raws too. 😊
So without further ado, I present to you! The first episode of I Raised an Obsessive Servant!🎊
Chapter 0: The Boy in the Novel
Yurina could not hide her excitement as she looked at the boy in front of her.
His bright blonde hair was in knots, and his pure white skin wasn't washed properly. However, something which was considered even rarer in the capital came into view.
There.
'Red eyes'
Unless you're an albino, one cannot simply have such red eyes as brilliant as rubies.
Even in this world where there are more hair and eye color than Earth, red eyes don't normally appear.
People who don't know anything about it believe that those with such red eyes are cursed, but these red eyes are actually proof that they were blessed by the Goddess.
There is no mistaking those red eyes. This child will surely become one of the greatest mages in the Empire in the future.
In order to find this child who lives in an orphanage in the capital, she wandered around the orphanage and it's surrounding areas for the past half year.
She was beginning to worry about winter coming soon, but finally!
'I guess the Goddess is on my side.'
In the original story, Marquis De Flon came to the orphanage during winter for a relief work, and that’s where he discovered him. Well, that’s not going to happen anymore.
'I'll definitely bring this child with me today.'
She had been waiting far too long to do so.
"Come with me."
Her nanny standing behind her went white as sheet as soon as she heard Yurina's calm words.
"My Lady, you cannot do that."
"Come with me."
Yurina ignored her nanny’s words and reached out to him.
"I will protect you. If you come with me, you won't get hungry anymore and you won't have to worry about dying in the cold."
"Why?"
The child crouched down and gave her a wary look.
"I don't believe in charity. What the hell are you planning to do with me? Use me as a plaything?"[1]
"Huh?"
Yurina was rendered speechless as she clasped on one of the buttons on her chest.
"There are aristocrats who like kids that look like me. I've seen a lot of them just like you."
She looked at his appearance objectively.
'Of course he’s handsome.'
About 8 years from now, after having graduated from the academy and formally introduced to society, he will have an extraordinary look that will captivate both men and women of all ages.
Even now, Yurina thinks that this child, even while wearing tattered clothes, has looks better than those noblemen of his age in the capital.
However, those are words that a normal child, who is the same as Yurina, shouldn't say. Yurina was aware that he was 2 years older than herself and she understands why he would say such a thing.
"Who do you think you're talking to?! My Lady, don't bother with him. Let's leave!"
Yurina raised her hand slightly to stop her nanny who was about to grab her and take her back to the carriage.
"You're right. There is no such thing as charity in this world. I am not going to sugarcoat my words or say that I am purely doing you a favor because I pity you. But let me assure you that I don't have any impure intentions like what you are thinking. No matter how much older you are, what do you mean by 'plaything' and saying it to young lady like me nonetheless? Do you even know what that means?"
There was no answer from the child. Judging from the way he's mumbling, he probably picked it up from his surroundings and said it thoughtlessly.
She commends his brazenness towards her, but then again, she doesn't know whether she should be angry or not. Yurina shook her head with her arms crossed.
"If you continue to say groundless things like that thoughtlessly, you might just end up dying in a ditch somewhere. You should know who you are dealing with. You should know who I am."
Yurina's tranquil voice made it hard to distinguish whether she was persuading him, or threatening him. The child just shrugged in return.
"Then why?"
"I want to invest in you."
"Invest?"
"Yes, invest.”
Yurina closed her eyes for a moment, remembering the things that will happen in the future.
"If you continue to stay here, you won't be able to survive the coming winter. The winter this year will be especially harsh."
Half of it was true and the other half was a lie. This winter will indeed be so harsh that it will be considered one of the worst recorded in history.
However, this child won’t die. In the original story, he will be taken in with great hospitality by De Flon and be treated by him.
Even so, she needs to deceive him since her life depended on it.
"So come with me. I will sponsor for you under the name of Carthia. What do you think? It's much better than dying, isn't it?"
"What’s up you? Why do you keep looking at me like that?"
"It’s your red eyes. You may not know it, but it is a symbol of those blessed by the Goddess. Historically, a person who is born with such eyes is said to be gifted in magic. There was a even a man named William, who was recorded to be known as a great wizard who possessed red eyes."
This was a fact that many people don't know. The truth is, those red eyes that are said to be the symbol of the Goddess in the story will later be revealed after he displays his exceptional gift in magic. And right now, it was still a fact that is barely known.
Yurina simply knew this truth because she had already read this in the novel.
"So what do you want from me?"
A child who can talk back. She liked it.
"I want you to remember what I've done for you today. And later when I'm in danger, you have to save me just like how I saved you today."
"What if I don't want to?"
"Well, I can't help it if you really don't want to."
"Can I really do that?"
Yurina may appear to be 10 years old, but her inner-self is already 22 years old. She wouldn’t force this little boy to stay by her side.
Chapter 1: The Wounded BoyOne snowy night in December, Senna died.
She was caught in a traffic accident, a hit-and-run. On the frozen road, the car slipped across the pedestrian hitting Senna. After that, when the other party saw that she was covered in blood and lying motionless on the ground, they ran away and abandoned her.
Maybe she could've lived if he reported the accident right away.
It was a very deserted road since it was late at night. Additionally, the weather was also freezing, so there weren't any people out walking around. By the time she was discovered and was brought to the emergency room, her time had already been over. Senna's life ended pitifully.
She was happy that she at least had a glimpse of her family, before she closed her eyes.
Senna didn't believe in reincarnation. Well, she didn't believe in religion in the first place. However, when she opened her eyes again, as if mocking her thoughts, she was lying in a strange place as the 10-year old Yurina Carthia.
She thought that everything was just a dream at first, but after a week or so, she had to admit that this was reality.
She thought that something mysterious must've happened to her. Just like in the novels she read for example, like a highschool student getting hit by a truck then being reborn as a noble or one that involves dimensional transfer.
But that was not the end for them. She was in a similar situation either that of a dimensional transfer or reincarnation.
Like all the popular romance fantasy novels these days, she was now a character in a book.
'And out of all the characters, I am the villainess.'
To be honest, she was confident that she was in a book, but she couldn't remember the title nor the contents of the book. It was just one of the many romance fantasy novels she read whenever she took a break.
There was nothing special about it, as it can be easily confused with other novels with a similar storyline.
After she read the end of the climax, she closed the book without ever knowing the ending.
She felt something strange when she heard the name Marquis De Flon. It gave her a similar feeling like having an itch on your body but you don't know where it is so you can't scratch it and it's just really frustrating.
After pondering for a couple of days, Yurina was finally able to remember two names.
She remembered that she read the novel just recently.
Lydia De Flon and Yurina Carthia.
These are the names of the heroine and the villainess of the book which she still doesn't know the title of.
In the novel, Carthia and De Flon politically opposed each other.
The two of them were always compared to each other ever since they had their social debut in the same year.
The rose-like Yurina and the lily-like Lydia.
It was no wonder that both of them left their houses to be an Empress.
But objectively speaking, just like in politics, one cannot simply judge who is good and evil.
At least this is what Senna, who is now Yurina, thought.
Marquis Carthia spread vicious rumors and tried to bring down Lydia. However, Marquis De Flon did the same thing as well.
Marquis Carthia and Yurina Carthia were bashed by the readers simply because they were in opposition to the heroine.
'Just like they say, history is written by the victors. If Yurina was the heroine, Lydia would be the villainess.'
Both of the families tightly confronted each other as if they were in a tug-of-war and lasted for 3 out of 4 volumes that Senna read.
It was a game that seemed like it was going to go on forever until "Charrion", the child that Marquis De Flon picked up in the orphanage, put an end to it.
As soon as De Flon, a fairly good mage, saw little "Charrion", he realized that he had a talent that far surpasses him.
"Charrion" was a man with red eyes, the symbol of the Goddess, who showed incredible aptitude in magic and was known as a genius of the century.
Marquis De Flon, after discovering his gift earlier, sponsored his studies in the academy and he developed at an astonishing rate.
By the time he came back from his graduation, he had become a mage who was well known not only in the Empire, but also in the neighbouring countries.
With his appearance, the scales shifted in favor of Marquis De Flon. "Charrion" liked Lydia who treated him well since he was a child and gave his full support for her to become the Empress.
He loved her, he loved her and yet it's funny how the miserable supporting character still wishes for the heroine's happiness. That was the man called "Charrion".
And Yurina Carthia died by his hands. The villainess who tormented the heroine with her cruel and miserable words. Of course, Marquis Carthia was also annihilated.
'But why did she die?'
She only knows that she died, but she couldn’t remember the reason why. The death wasn't intense enough for it to stick. She thought that maybe she was forced to die just because she was the villainess.
Looking back at it now, the novel was overwhelmingly overtaken by the fact that everything was in favor of the heroine, Lydia. This annoyed her due to the lack of explanation in the story.
Anyway, after gathering all her thoughts, Yurina worked diligently in the orphanage in the capital and scoured the surrounding areas to find Charrion before Marquis De Flon finds him.
The only clues were only his bright blonde hair and red eyes, but these were enough for her. In this world, red eyes were a color that was so unusual it barely appears.
Yurina started looking for him ever since the beginning of the year but it was already summer. It's been 6 months. It was a long wait but the fruit of her labor would be as sweet.
Yurina finally found the child, who came to pack up a few of her things. She couldn't help but hide her smile behind her handkerchief that was slowly growing.
"Were you able to get everything?"
"Yup."
"So this is farewell then?"
"No one said anything about farewell."
