"Who gave you the right to question our young miss? You are just a lowly servant you don't have the right to talk to her! You insolent brat!"
Sabel exclaimed in defense of her young miss.
She was familiar with this kind of scenario since she used to work as Audrey's maidservant for the longest time.
This kind of people who knew better than to hold their tongues was not enough to faze her young miss into making a personal move. So without waiting to be told, Sabel directly hit the girl straight on the face; sending a resounding slap to the audacious party.
The slap was so hard that Sabel's hand seemed to leave a red handprint on the maidservant's cheek.
She might be someone from the side family of an influential clan. But in this place, she was still a servant just like Sabel, and Sabel had already handled more than a handful of those brats before.
Those ladies-in-waiting used to do things that would please Ling Hua so as to put themselv
After the incident with Selene, Audrey decided to be more careful. She knew that it would be best for her if she could avoid any form of conflict.The last thing that she would want was to make an enemy and risk drawing more attention towards her existence.But at the same time, she alsoswore to herself that she would not let others bully her anymore.Definitely not in this life again. She had enough already.She also took it as her responsibility to live her newfound life happier and more meaningful.Before going back inside her room, Audrey called Sabel and issued a command."Sabel, I want you to prepare me and yourself a pair of clothes for commoners. You would have to go with me outside tonight. I wish to go and see the city."Meanwhile, when Sabel heard her young miss' plan, her eyes glowed with obvious anticipation.It was a rare opportunity for a maidservant like her to go outside the residence especially at night.
[ Let us just forget what we just heard. We can just pretend that we don't know where it came from right?]Nero suggested as he tried to think of a consoling word to say, but regardless, they still felt like they were somewhat duped.Audrey chose to ignore the lump that seemed to be threatening to come out from her mouth due to her newest discovery, and rather than dwelling on this fact, she focused her attention instead on what Sabel was eating. The other party was snacking on something that looked like Pringles."And what was that made of?"Learning from experience, Audrey became more cautious and went to ask Sabel first before trying out new food."Well, this one is some kind of tree bark. It was leisurely chipped away from a Cinchona tree"Sabel hurriedly chomped on her food and swallowed it so that she could answerer her young miss.Meanwhile, Audrey found the thing more acceptable to eat
Audrey and Sabel ate that night to their heart's content, and it was only when they already felt bloated did they stop and finally decided to give their eating spree a break.When they walked past a lake, Audrey decided to stop by. She walked towards a big rock at the lakeside and rested there for a while.The little girl could not help but feel awed by the blissful night in general. But when she lifted her head and saw the scattered stars above them, she felt more overwhelmed; to the point that she even let out a contented sigh without her knowledge.The night sky was covered with tiny little dots as though someone accidentally spilled diamonds all over it"This place was so relaxing"Sabel commented as she settled herself at the bed of grass next to her young miss. She looked at Audrey then back to the little black cat who was busy fiddling on the lake water."What a wonderful night. The cold breeze and starry night. Even the moon wa
When Audrey heard the word 'magic', she was reminded of the conversation that she had with her grandfather earlier that day. So she asked her maidservant about its opinion."Sabel, what do you think about learning magic?""It was common knowledge that learning the way of magic is a great privilege. They were highly celebrated wherever they went because not just anyone can do it. Not everyone is blessed with mana. Besides, one cannot simply enter the school of magic just because they wanted it. Money alone is not enough, you need to both have the natural talent on it as well as the backing. Having a magic practitioner or two within one's kingdom is a sure-ball way to secure the nation's defense and stability."Sabel answered with sparkling eyes as if she was talking about her lover. She had never seen one in her lifetime, but she had read countless books pertaining to their tales.[ It seems that it is for that same reason wh
Soon Audrey would be seen walking with her cat beside her, and Sabel naturally followed behind them. When the three arrived at the doorstep of the main hall, Sabel halted her steps."What's wrong?"Audrey inquired.When she noticed that the other party abruptly stopped from her tracks, she also stopped from advancing forward and turned to Sabel with a confused look in her eyes. Sabel on the other hand was just as confused as Audrey was. She wondered why was her young miss was acting as though she did not have an idea about the unspoken rule in their household. It was common knowledge among servants working within the Lee Clan that they were not allowed to step at the main hall during a meeting, neither come near it without official business."Young miss, no servants are allowed inside so this is the farthest that I could accompany you."Sabel replied and gave Audrey an answer. Despite her initial confusion, Sabel still managed to give Audrey a quic
Meanwhile, when Nero notice that the other party was seething with rage and was trying had to contain it, he also found himself wondering. [ I wonder if she could really survive this world? This lass had to get used to this new lifestyle if she wants to survive.] 'Ehem!' When the old man in the middle of the elevated platform cleared his throat, the place turned completely silent. It was so silent to the point that if one happened to drop a needle, everyone would probably hear it. The old man scanned the crowd with his keen eyes and when his eyes landed at the direction where his two doted granddaughters were standing, the sternness on his face cracked and he soon broke into a wide smile. Obviously, this old man was no other than, Johnson, the head of the clan. It was only when Johnson was certain that all of his clan members were gathered around at the main hall did he rose to his feet and i
Time flies so quickly that the three-days timeframe passed by without Audrey even noticing. But if the truth would be told, she was the only one that was not exactly bothered or in any bit concern at all about the upcoming event, the rest, however, was at their wit's end. The past three days have been very hectic for the whole Ning clan in general, but the other clans were no different. They all wanted to outdo each other; aiming to be the best of the best.Due to the compelling rewardoffered by the clan head,manyof his clan members tookthe task of finding the best gift seriously. They presented all the most precious and valuable treasures that they hadat their disposal, wishing that itwouldcatch the eyes of their clan head."I really hope that clan head can consider taking this gift that I prepared",said one of the clan disciples as they gathered around the main hall."You wish!"Another one replied with a
Johnson brought two people with him to assist him in choosing the best gift. The first elder was standing next to him, while on his right stands a handsome young man. His domineering aura radiated even in his simple gesture as he was casually sweeping tiny glances on the treasures lying in neat line before them; this handsome young man was no other than, Arden Lee; Audrey's older brother as well as the youngest general of the said kingdom. The king appointed him as the general of the royal guard due to his merits."It's good that you decided to visit our clan this time," Johnson said to his grandson."Un.." Arden nodded. "I also want to visit Audrey. I wonder how she's doing nowadays."The duo chatted as they were observing each of the treasures. They carefully pick the best items among the treasures presented as they discussed their properties."This is the MILK TEA leaves. It was some kind of special eurphobia. Its milky juice can be extracted and added
