I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince

Title: Complete Battle Strategy Guide for Lilith (2)

Author: 릴걸창 (Lil Gulchang)

Continuing from the previous strategy guide.

After entering through the underground passage into the interior of Blackwood Manor, you should come out to the main bath on the 1st floor of the manor. As soon as you exit, turn right. The left side is guarded by security.

Turn right twice to find the auxiliary staircase leading upstairs. Enter directly to the 3rd floor from here. The 2nd floor is a farming map with nothing special, so you can skip it if you find it bothersome.

Search through the maid’s rooms on the 3rd floor to collect items. If searching everything seems tedious, focus on Isabelle’s room and Ariana’s room only.

In Isabelle’s room, you’ll find “Isabelle’s Diary,” a unique accessory for Lilith. In Ariana’s room, you’ll find “Thanasia’s Necklace,” which you can either add to any female character at the end of the episode or save for later as crafting material.

Inside the innermost room in the maid’s quarters is Melissa’s room. Push aside the wardrobe to reveal stairs leading upstairs, then proceed to the 4th floor.

Once inside, unlock the door with the Thanasia’s Necklace you obtained earlier. After unlocking, you’ll enter a long corridor. Only the second room on the left opens here, so enter and…

ㅇㅇ: Wasn’t this guy an aggro player? Why is he so delicate with strategies?

39.7: It’s hilarious that someone with that kind of nickname is seriously posting raid strategies lol.

223.38: Every day, I’m swearing at Lilith for being a whore, but I’m actually more serious about Lilith than anyone else…

└ ㅇㅇ: Seriously lol.

└ 릴걸창: Shut up.

구원순애: I can’t find Thanasia’s necklace in Ariana’s room, where the hell is it?

└ 릴걸창: It’s in the first drawer of the dresser. You have to click the dresser three times since it’s in the third drawer.

└└ 구원순애: Ah, I have to click two more times. Found it, thanks.

정말갓겜입니다: But it’s Thanasia’s necklace, why is it in Ariana’s room? Isn’t Thanasia’s room on the 4th floor?

└ oo: It seems like Ariana just stole it secretly. Given her personality, she’d do that and still act innocent.

└└ 정말갓겜입니다: Why is Harold silent about this? It’s Thanasia’s heirloom; shouldn’t he be taking care of it properly? Is that just a plot hole?

└└└ oo: Maybe she stole it and pinned it on someone else.

└└└└ 릴걸창: No official confirmation, so who knows.

“How would you know that…?”

Harold, with suspicion mixed in his gaze, squinted at me.

This was the most crucial moment.

In order to uncover suspicions that seemed to be tied to Catherine and completely throw Ariana off, I had to convincingly portray the innocent ‘Lilith Rosewood.’

“Um, it seems like I’ve seen it before.”

“…”

“I think I saw a flashy and expensive-looking necklace in Ariana’s room before…”

Thanasia’s Necklace.

If you’ve ever delved into the strategies for Lilith Rosewood in “Luminor Academy,” it’s a name you’ve probably heard at least once. It’s not only a crucial item to acquire in the middle of an episode to enter the Lilith route, but its performance as a piece of jewelry itself isn’t too shabby either.

Of course, for those who don’t follow the Lilith route due to personal preferences regarding the heroine, it might be an unfamiliar item.

For someone like me who has spent over 500 hours solely on strategies for Lilith, however, it was one of those pieces of information you can’t just overlook.

In fact, one of the things that puzzled me while playing “Luminor Academy” was this item, Thanasia’s Necklace. Why could it be obtained in Ariana’s room, but not in Thanasia’s room, Harold’s room, or even Ethan’s room?

If Ariana stole this heirloom to avoid the gaze of Harold and Ethan, how on earth did she manage to escape suspicion?

Until now, it had been a vague speculation that I casually brushed aside, but with Ariana’s recent remark, that speculation became a logical conclusion.

First of all, it’s absolutely certain that Ariana stole Thanasia’s necklace. Although I’m not entirely sure, she probably managed to frame Catherine as the culprit through some means.

She was quite skilled at shamelessly portraying herself favorably and manipulating public opinion to her advantage.

‘No wonder Catherine’s character might not even appear in the main story at all.’

Perhaps Catherine had already been accused of Ariana’s crimes in this manner, resulting in further punishment and subsequently being written out of the main storyline.

Maybe she had even tried to help Ariana during the current situation where Lilith was being targeted, only to be betrayed.

Otherwise, Ariana’s other misdeeds might have been exposed, and she could have faced punishment accordingly.

Though Catherine is a character who has never appeared in the game “Luminor Academy,” one can’t help but wonder if she, too, had experienced a life as complicated as Lilith’s.

…Of course, things might be a little different from now on.

“Wait, that’s a lie! How could you know… Oh, no! You weren’t supposed to be in my room!!”

“You remember during last year’s apprentice maid training, right, Senior Ariana? It was part of the training to clean the personal rooms of senior maids.”

Even if it was for training, it’s unacceptable to let an unverified apprentice maid into the chambers of nobility.

Just deploying apprentice maids into real situations for practice could lead to inadequate handling of tasks and upset the servants…

…or there’s a possibility of theft, like when Ariana secretly stole Thanasia’s heirloom necklace.

“I think I found it inside Senior Ariana’s drawer. I can’t recall if it was the first or the third drawer…”

“…Go and check.”

” ” “Yes, sir!” ” ”

The mansion guards hurriedly dashed out of the Etiquette Room at Harold’s muttered command. It’s probably only a matter of time before they discover Thanasia’s heirloom necklace this way.

“You, you’re lying…! She’s lying…!”

“I’m only stating the facts as I personally witnessed them.”

“Stop joking around…! I knew about the training period for the apprentice maids too…! Do you think I’d casually hide it in the dresser until that day?!”

“So, are you saying that you hid it elsewhere on the day I cleaned?”

“Of course… no, wait! I didn’t steal it, I mean, if I did, of course I’d have hidden it like that!! Anyway, it’s a lie! There’s no way she could have seen it!!”

Yeah, it’s a lie.

Even in Lilith’s memory, there was never a moment when she found something valuable while cleaning Ariana’s room.

Would that cunning girl really keep such a dangerous item in her room after an apprentice maid stumbled upon it?

She probably carried it on her person for a few days or maybe secretly stashed it in Alicia or Catherine’s rooms.

At the end of the day, what does that matter? Either way, she wouldn’t still have it hidden in her room now, right?

That is, in the same spot where it was found during the ‘Lilith’s Heist’ episode in my previous life.

Moreover, the mansion guards have already entered the third floor for a search; how could you, a mere junior maid, stop them?

What can you do?

Instead of lying and cursing unjustly in front of me like this, what else can you do, you worthless piece of shit?

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

As Ariana made her final attempt to betray me, a commotion erupted from outside the door.

The mansion guards who had gone to search immediately returned to the Etiquette Room.

In the hand of the soldier at the front, a golden necklace with a sparkling blue gem dangled.

“We found it! Sir Harold! It’s Lady Thanasia’s heirloom necklace, just as Miss Lilith described!”

“It was found in Miss Ariana’s room, in the first drawer of her dresser!”

“Oh, it’s Mother’s necklace!”

Upon hearing the soldiers’ words as they entered the room, Ariana turned completely pale.

The soldiers handed Thanasia’s necklace directly to Harold.

Harold, after examining the necklace closely, clasped Thanasia’s heirloom tightly in his hand and muttered quietly.

“…So, it is the item I gave as a gift.”

Then, after tucking the necklace into his suit pocket, Harold slowly approached Ariana, who was trembling in her seat.

That was accompanied by a gaze so fierce it could probably kill ten men, almost.

“……”

“M-Master… Th-this is some sort of misunderstanding….”

“Stand up straight.”

“Y-Yes, sir?”

“AHHHHHH!”

Without warning, a tremendous impact echoed through my ears for a moment.

Right after the sound, what met my eyes was Ariana, who was now pinned to a wall.

“Gah… Urp… cough…!”

Ariana, hit near the base of her skull, was thrown nearly 4 meters in one go.

Others, fearing they might get involved with her, reflexively avoided her as she flew towards them.

Thanks to that, Ariana remained alone, pinned to one side of the room, emitting painful groans.

Grab.

“Ahhhh! M-Master?!”

Right after that, Harold grabbed Alicia by the hair and dragged her towards Ariana.

Unable to approach him due to an inexplicable aura, other servants parted from him as if by a miracle, just like the parting of the Red Sea.

Before long, a strained, angry command emanated from Harold’s lips.

“…Except for these two, everyone else return to your duties.”

““““““““““Yes, master!””””””””””

It’s better to leave now before I get dragged into this mess too. When things get like this, it’s best to make a quick exit.

I never imagined I’d witness Harold’s tantrum pattern here instead of during Lilith’s Heist.

Before his single-target attack turned into an AOE *1 attack, all of us, including me, hurriedly fled from the etiquette training room and ran upstairs without hesitation.

As we ascended the stairs one by one, the screams of the two women started to echo from behind.

“Help!! Someone!! Save us, please!! AHHHH!!!”

“I-I just did what Ariana told me to! I didn’t know anything about Lady Thanasia’s heirloom… AHHHH! AHHHH!!!”

…Oh, how ruthless.

They should have been more careful in choosing sides.
