For a while, Charlotte continued to cry.
　Allen was reluctant to help, but he offered her a handkerchief and another cup of tea, and tried his best to make her stop crying.
　Eventually, she calmed down and began to talk in whispers.

It was really ...... out of the blue.

　It was a week ago.
　There was a birthday party for Prince Cecil, the second prince of the kingdom of Neils,......, at the royal castle. Her fiancé, of course, was also invited and went around greeting the guests.

　She never exchanged a word with Prince Cecil.

He said he never spoke to Prince Cecil. "We had been engaged for years, but we rarely saw each other .......

　He always looked at Charlotte coldly.
　He always stared at Charlotte with cold eyes.

　However, when the party was in full swing.
　Prince Cecil summoned her to the center of the party hall.
　As the guests and soldiers looked on, he announced not love, but a declaration that made her doubt her own ears.

"Charlotte Evans!　I know all about your misdeeds!　Therefore, I am breaking off our engagement to ......!

　I'm breaking off my engagement to you!
　In addition to this, she was exposed to a number of misdeeds that she had no memory of.
　This was backed up by carefully crafted evidence, and all those present believed it.

　His family was not on his side.
　Although it was not made public, Charlotte was the child of the head of the family's mistress.
　He had been unable to have children, so she was taken in as a child by the Evans family.

　A few years later, however, he had a child with his new wife.
　Because of this, she has always been a nail-biter in the house. ...... Even the servants did not protect Charlotte when she was falsely accused.
　She was about to be thrown in jail.

She took advantage of the guards and fled the house. ......　
I see. ......

　Allen stroked his chin.

　It's a simple conspiracy play.
　Maybe the prince didn't want to marry a concubine, or maybe he found another woman he liked. Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter.
　At any rate, the prince was disturbed by Charlotte.

　Charlotte bowed her head deeply.

It's all over the papers and I'm sure they'll be after you soon. ...... I won't bother you. After you get some rest, you'll be out of here in no time.
I have one question.

　Allen interrupted him and held up an index finger.

Are you good at cleaning?
...... What?
Answer me.

　Charlotte rolls her eyes, but opens her mouth slowly.

Well, I think I'm as good as anyone. ...... So, what?
"Okay. That's a perfect answer.

　Allen pats Charlotte on the shoulder.

Okay, Charlotte. I'm going to hire you.
"Huh?
