Chapter Thirteen: Let Me Be Your Villainess.
The ride was quieter than I had anticipated. Mary had asked for permission to stay behind and visit her siblings. She had insisted that she was fine bringing herself to work tomorrow.
I did not mind; In fact, the quiet ride had helped me process my emotions about my conversation with Bea better.
I had asked the driver to pass through the town, but he had panicked at my suggestion.
"My lady, let us not! Please! They will throw rocks, and I have nothing to cover me! Please, my lady, consider."
So, I did, but was the situation really that bad to warrant rock throwing?
Can extra's really hurt a character that is being saved for a 'grand finale?'
Erden, on the other hand, had been quiet the entire ride back. He was still and calm during the whole ride until our uphill ascent to the estate where he finally spoke.
"My lady, I will take any punishment you offer," Erden said in such a quiet voice that I had almost missed it.

I sat on the dining table, in the most un-dutchess like manner, but did etiquette really matter now?"From now on, if you want to live, you'd better be careful." I turned to the maid on the floor. "Make sure the meal that you oversee is not tainted. Now, you are dismissed for the evening."The rest of the staff looked around, and I cleared my throat."Just the maid on my floor is dismissed for the evening.

Isaak muttered as Erden paced restlessly in the room."Isaak can you focus!" Erden replied, and then the patient on the bed groaned.A female physician was looking over Ophelia, administering fluids and checking her response to the medicine. Apparently, the meal had been tainted with a

Vivanna-What the hell is going on? --What the hell is Erden saying? --Play BDSM games with a man who is conspiring against me? Has everyone lost their minds, or is it just me? -I stared at the room across from me and then at the desperate look Erden had on his face.Was his loyalty to the Prince this severe, that he would even plead with a woman he hated…This man would do anything for the Prince, no wonder when he liked Daisy; he avoided her at first, but, I'm not playing place the scene in its context, right now, I was his master. His suggestions keep shifting the power dynamics, can someone educate me on where my staff's confidence supply stems from?

I sighed into the loud breeze. I should handle Neiwei first before I have a nervous breakdown.Neiwei Callian.Neiwei is one of the main characters in the story; He was one of Vivanna's two concubines that had fallen headfirst for Daisy. Unlike Sebastian, the other concubine whose contract I can't seem to find, Neiwei had been dealt some raw cards by the author.Neiwei ruled a small country North of Envia, but a war had broken through between the two nations. Ariet was the name of his country. When a drought had plagued Ariet, they had requested the King of Envia to help them by sharing their surplus food, but instead, The King had seen this as a blessed opportunity to expand Envia's territory.Kassian had seen the attack as betrayal, a great disservice offered to one of Envia's former allies, but his vocal disagreement had created a rift between him and his father. In the preceding weeks, the King's favour towards Kassian had dropped so greatly

"You have got to be joking." Neiwei drawled as he threw the documents that I had handed him earlier across my desk.He had sprawled his beautiful tanned body across from my desk as his deep hazel eyes drilled holes in the back of my skull while I casually perused the bookcase behind Vivanna's desk.It was fascinating, she had thousands of books, but each looked newer than the last."I assure you, Neiwei," I replied calmly, "I am not."Isaak readjusted himself in his position. As much as I hated his presence around me, I did not need a repeat of last time.My hand trembled slightly, and I covered it with my other hand, then cleared my throat."I am however willing to make a bargain with you," I say, turning sheepishly but his glare caused me to stop acting in 'said' way and regain my composure.His glare had made it clear that 'friends' is not what we would, or could ever be, and I, for one, did not wish to push it. I was lucky that he

“What is it, Isaak?” I asked then turned to close the balcony door.“I was under the impression that knocking was common courtesy. That, I did not even have to be the lady of the house for people to knock before entering my bedroom. Maybe I was wrong?” I retorted, crossing my arms on my chest, hoping that he would keep the conversation short.Isaak's eyes glared at me disapprovingly; I couldn’t quite see to what extent because of the difference in brightness between my room and the hallway, but I could tell that he was scowling.“I wished to check in on my lady because of the fire. I apologize for my rudeness, My lady.” He said through gritted teeth“Pfffft…!” I laughed.I couldn’t hold it in, he was so stiff, and his expressions were very open. Unlike Erden, Isaak couldn’t hide his disapproval of me very well.“You have my permission to speak freely, ‘my oh
