# Chapter 57: 57
Rich cream and the tasty aroma of high quality milk.
It was said that bananas only grew on islands across the vast sea, and that fruit had a unique flavor.
How could it taste like that when combined with a chewy caramel cream topping on top and crunchy cookies on the bottom?
Delicious…!
Radis was completely captivated by the magnificent taste of the banoffee pies.
Seeing her like this, her eyes crinkling with joy every time she took a bite, Berry moved her legs repeatedly under her skirt.
Lady Radis! It's so, so, so adorable...!
After taking only a few bites of the banoffee pie, Radis put down his fork, thinking it would be a waste to devour it quickly, and then took a sip of his tea.
Then, he said in a very calm voice:
—This dessert is really delicious, Berry. Can you give my compliments to Brendon?
"I will, Lady Radis!"
Closing the door behind her with animated steps, Berry screeched:
—What do I do…?!
The Marquisate had always been a place with the best working conditions for the mansion's maids.
Besides the generous salary and satisfactory benefits, the biggest advantage was that there were few people to serve.
The typical Marquisate was like this: there was the Marquis, the Marchioness, the sons and daughters of the couple. Then, there was also the Marquis' concubine, the Marquis' children and the concubine, and the Marquis could even have children outside the house with other mistresses.
It was something meant to be complicated. In such a family, power struggles were inevitable, and it was common for employees to be crushed like shrimp under whale fights, ending up exhausted several times a day.
In contrast, the bloodline of House Russell was simple.
There was only Marquis Russell.
Furthermore, the Marquis was so busy that it was difficult for the employees to even see his face.
An employer that offered a generous salary, satisfying benefits, and a calm work environment without the stresses of family politics!
It was already a great place to work, but Berry enjoyed it even more since Radis became part of her daily life.
Expressing his joy by walking down the stairs with light steps.
—La-dy-Ra-dis! It's-so-do-ra-ble!
When he reached the kitchen, he looked through the open door and shouted:
—Mr. Brendon! Lady Radis loved the cake!
As he kneaded bread dough, Brendon smiled broadly and brushed the flour off his hands.
"Isn't that a relief?" I think he can eat more, so please give him another piece.
With his nose twitching from the flour floating in the air, Brendon responded:
—For God's sake, with a girl as thin as her. I can't imagine it.
Berry giggled too.
When the Marquis said he was bringing home a lady, everyone got nervous.
The employees' imaginations ran wild, and what they thought was not that different from what Mariel had assumed.
Everyone thought that Marquis Russell had fallen in love with some lady and brought her home.
In other words, a candidate for Marchioness!
But in reality, the person who appeared was a handsome-looking boy who seemed somewhat downcast.
Of course, it was quickly revealed that Radis was not a boy. Still, Radis' solitary appearance was enough to catch the attention of the maidens, who sympathized with her.
What else could they think when they saw a thin girl, with short hair, who looked like a boy and had sad eyes?
Treat Lady Radis with kindness and gentleness!
That bouncer, Allen, usually didn't seem to care that much about Radis when someone saw them together, but there was no denying that she looked like a loving grandmother looking at her granddaughter, especially with the way Allen made such requests to the other servants.
For that reason, the people of the Marquisate, including Berry and Brendon, went out of their way to give something extra to Radis, as if they were taking care of a little kitten that had been shivering in the rain.
We have to treat her very well!
A happy smile formed on Berry's lips as she placed another slice of banoffee pie on the tray.
Even if it weren't for Allen's request, Berry loved Radis very much.
Her red hair looked as sweet as strawberry jam, and her black eyes shone like onyx gems. Such features were rare in that region, so Berry saw her as pretty and wonderful.
I have seen many pretty and elegant people while working at the Marquisate, but Lady Radis is the best. Won't she become an incredible beauty in the future?
Berry had a dreamy look in her eyes.
He adored pretty people, which was why he wanted to go to the third prince's birthday banquet that was recently held in the annex.
She wanted to see Prince Olivier, who was rumored to be a strikingly handsome man, even from a distance.
But Berry lost the game of rock, paper, scissors that day, so he had to stay in the central mansion to take care of arranging the dishes.
It was Radis who cured Berry's slight frustration at the missed opportunity.
Radis was like a red rose when she was still, an angel when she smiled.
When she was deep in thought, she looked like a handsome boy with his own emotional baggage. She even sometimes took night walks alone and had a dangerous appeal like a latent flame.
Really. Berry's eyes sparkled with delight.
Excited, Berry knocked on Radis' door.
—Lady Radis, there is one more cake…
Opening the door, what Berry saw before her eyes left her with no choice but to cover her lips in amazement.
