SERVANTS' QUARTERS, WESTERN BUILDING OF THE GRAND DUKE'S RESIDENCE IT ISN'T A FIRE? THEN WHAT'S THAT SMOKE? AH... YOU'VE ARRIVED, YOUR GRACE! HAS EVERYONE BEEN EVACUATED? EVERYONE EXCEPT THE MAID HIRED TODAY, YOUR GRACE. THAT SMOKE IS PROBABLY... RIGHT.... FROM THIS MOMENT ON, SEAL OFF THE AREA AND DON'T LET ANYONE APPROACH. I'LL GO IN ALONE. BAM! I-I LOST CONTROL TRYING TO FORCE MY AURA TO AWAKEN... I NEARLY DIED... Is this smoke... did it come from me? EVEN SO... I AWAKENED AFTER SKIPPING SEVERAL STAGES ALL AT ONCE, DIDN'T I? EVEN THOUGH I HAD AWAKENED MY AURA BEFORE, ...I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW EFFORTLESS IT WAS THIS TIME. WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THIS BODY...? KILLING INTENT...! THIS FAMILIAR PRESENCE... YOU SAID YOU WANTED ME TO SAVE YOU. AND YET YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING SO RECKLESS. YOU... ACTUALLY CAME. DID YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND AND DECIDE YOU WANTED TO DIE? NO. I DID IT BECAUSE I WANT TO LIVE. BECAUSE I WANT TO SURVIVE. ...I WASN'T TRYING TO CAUSE A COMMOTION. I SIMPLY NEEDED THE POWER TO PROTECT MYSELF. EVERYONE AROUND HERE LOOKS READY TO SLIT MY THROAT AT ANY SECOND, SO I HAD TO FORCE MYSELF TO AWAKEN MY AURA... WHO'S TRYING TO KILL YOU? YOU. UM... THE O-OLD MAN...? AS FOR COUNT NORBERT, HE WILL BE YOUR TEACHER FROM NOW ON, SO LET YOUR GUARD DOWN AROUND HIM. My ears are itching. HAAAH.... THE KILLING INTENT IS GONE. ANYWAY... YOU REMEMBER MY NAME? FREYA. YES, THAT'S RIGHT. ...FREYA. ? FREYA. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS THAT I KNOW THIS NAME? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY NAME? WHY IS HE SO SENSITIVE ABOUT MY NAME...? DON'T TELL ME... UM, BY ANY CHANCE, DO YOU KNOW ME? WAS THE O RIGINAL OWNER OF THIS BODY NAMED FREYA, TOO? AND THEN THERE'S THE QUESTION YOU ASKED ME WHEN I DRANK THE ELIXIR, AND THE WAY YOU SPOKE ABOUT MY NAME. WHY DO YOU SEEM TO KNOW ME WHEN I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER MYSELF, YOUR GRACE? IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN PERHAPS WITH YOUR GRACE'S HELP, MY LOST MEMORIES MIGHT RETURN EVEN FASTER...! LADY FREYA, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR MEMORY LOSS. THE REASON I DIDN'T CONTINUE YOUR INTERROGATION WASN'T BECAUSE I DECIDED TO TRUST YOU. ...YOU'RE STILL A SUSPECT. BUT... I ALREADY PROVED THAT I'M INNOCENT! YOUR SUPERNATURAL ABILITY MERELY HAPPENED TO MANIFEST AS AURA. WHICH ISN'T PROOF THAT YOU'RE COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO DARK MAGIC. THEREFORE, I'VE MERELY KEPT YOU ALIVE UNTIL YOUR SUSPICIONS ARE CLEARED UP AND CONFIRMED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. UNLESS YOU REVEAL YOUR SECRETS YOURSELF, I HAVE NO REASON TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. SO, LEARN WELL FROM NORBERT. WHO KNOWS? SHOULD YOU PROVE YOURSELF SO INDISPENSABLE THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE YOU, PERHAPS I'LL TELL YOU THE SECRETS YOU WANT TO KNOW ON MY OWN. GIVE ME EXACTLY TWO YEARS. THEN WHO KNOWS? WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF PERSON I'LL BE TWO YEARS FROM NOW? Is that an answer to what I said? YOU'D BETTER KEEP THAT PROMISE. And keep quiet at night. Ugh I WONDER... DID I GET AWAY WITH IT? BY THE WAY... WHY IS HE SO IRRITABLE? IS IT BECAUSE I'M STILL HIDING SOMETHING? OR BECAUSE MY NAME HAPPENS TO BE FREYA? OR... COULD IT BE BECAUSE THE OWNER OF THIS BODY CAN'T REMEMBER HERSELF? MAYBE THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS BODY WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO THE GRAND DUKE THAN I THOUGHT. EARLY THE NEXT MORNING. ...WHY ARE YOU ALREADY AWAKE? NO, BEFORE THAT, WHY DID YOU COME TO MY ROOM? THEY SAY THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WORM. FREYA, REPORTING FOR DUTY! PUT ME TO WORK ALREADY, PLEASE!! SORRY FOR MAKING SUCH A COMMOTION. HO HO HO, DON'T BE. THIS NEW RECRUIT SURE HAD A FIERY INITIATION! THAT NIGHT, FREYA WAS INTRODUCED TO ALL THE HOUSEHOLD STAFF. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Undercover Butler to the Grand Duke #6](/series/undercover-butler-to-the-grand-duke-joq1g3yb/chapter-6-v932mx) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/undercover-butler-to-the-grand-duke-joq1g3yb ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
