RED DOESN'T SUIT YOU. THAT'S TROUBLESOME. THIS THICK, STICKY TEXTURE, AND THE SHARP SMELL OF OIL- DID HE POUR THE PAINT... ALL OVER ME...? WHY? BECAUSE I'M A SLAVE OF THE EMPIRE? BECAUSE I'M A LOWLY MAID? OR PERHAPS... BECAUSE... I'M THE PRINCE'S SPY? ARE ALL MEMBERS OF THE IMPERIAL FAMILY... REALLY THIS SELF-CENTERED? OH, DIANA. IF YOU WANT TO LIVE, WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER TO WIPE THAT INSOLENT LOOK FROM YOUR EYES...? ... I'M SORRY, MASTER. RATHER THAN LOOKING SORRY, YOU LOOK QUITE WRONGED. KEEP THAT EXPRESSION AND STAY EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE. I NEED TO WORK OUT THE COMPOSITION. YOUR HIGHNESS. HIS GRACE, DUKE CHRISTEN, HAS ARRIVED. THIS... WHAT IS THIS... IT APPEARS TO BE PAINT, YOUR GRACE. B- B-BLOOD B-BLOOD!!! AH, AHH... YES, PAINT.... PAINT... ? YOUR HIGHNESS, S-SURELY NOT...! IS THIS THE MAID?! I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE THIS INTERESTED IN ME. FIRST, WE'D BETTER CLEAN THIS PLACE UP. EVERYONE, COME IN. THEY'RE ALL SERVANTS I'VE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME. I CAREFULLY SELECTED AND BROUGHT EACH OF THEM HERE, SO IF ANY OF THEM BETRAYS YOU, YOU MAY CUT OFF MY HEAD. Hmm... YOUR HEAD... THAT DOES PIQUE MY INTEREST. FIRST, CLEAN THIS ENTIRE PLACE UP. ONE OF YOU, GO TO THE BATHROOM AND DRAW SOME WATER. AND.... TAKE THAT MAID AWAY AS WELL. THE SMELL OF OIL IS GETTING IN THE WAY OF CLEANING. YES, YOUR GRACE. This way... The smell... DON'T TOUCH HER. DIANA, FOLLOW ME TO THE BATHROOM. ALONE. I CAN’T TELL WHICH ONE OF US IS THE SERVANT. ...I CAN DO IT MYSELF. IT’LL BE DIFFICULT TO WASH THAT OFF WITH THE SOAP PROVIDED TO THE MAIDS. UNLESS YOU WANT TO WALK AROUND LOOKING LIKE THAT, STAY STILL. HE WAS THE ONE WHO POURED THE PAINT ON ME, AND NOW.... THE CROWN PRINCE WON’T BOTHER EXPLAINING WHY. THERE’S NO REASON FOR HIM TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF TO A MAID LIKE ME IN THE FIRST PLACE. IN THIS PLACE, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS. BUT... DIANA. JUST WHAT ARE YOU FEELING SO WRONGED ABOUT THAT YOU’RE CRYING? WEREN’T YOU THE ONE WHO CAME HERE TO HARM ME? FORGET YOUR POINTLESS SELF-PITY, AND THINK OF A WAY TO ENTERTAIN ME. THAT WAY, I'LL LET YOU LIVE A LITTLE LONGER. ...IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KILL ME RIGHT AWAY, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAINT ME? DO YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW THAT? ...WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY TRUE THAT THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE. YOUR TRUE SELF-- WITHOUT A SINGLE LIE. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — The Portrait of Pride #14: Chapter 13](/series/the-portrait-of-pride-yrfb921x/chapter-14-5au8yp) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/the-portrait-of-pride-yrfb921x ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
