Episode 3.
Ivy
Maid, please fill the tea.
The maid bowed and started filling the tea.
Ivy
Brother, have some cookies before drinking tea.
Her brother are the cookies before drinking the tea.
Having the tea filled up, Ivy picked the teacup with elegance.
Ivy
I heard that the walls are harder to defend now.
Connor
Yes. It's depressive for the soldiers to be away from the home.
Hearing sad words from her brother she kept the teacup on the table and sighed.
Ivy
It's definitely depressive.
Connor
I heard that father gave you a case.
Ivy
A case that's a 5th level.
Ivy
Does it even match our title?
The atmosphere was stiff.
Struggling for air the maid excused herself.
Connor
I heard news from John. You were almost killed.
Connor looked at Ivy with a worrisome expression on his face.
He kept the teacup on the table.
Ivy
He hasn't survillenced the servants properly.
Soon after John came. He was questioning himself to death.
He knew that some servant is probably going to die.
Ivy
Bring in the maid that served us tea.
John
Guards bring in the maid that served the young master and young lady the tea.
Guards/Maids/Workers
Yes butler.
Maid
Please forgive me for whatever I have done.
Ivy
I didn't said anything yet you are asking for forgiveness.
Connor
Wait a second. Did she-
Soon after her brother came to realisation.
Connor
I have some news to tell the father then.
Connor
I will take my leave then.
Ivy
Now what did you do to ask the forgiveness from me.
Maid
If I have done something that have upsetted you then please forgive.
Maid
I will take punishment also.
The maid pleaded infront of her.
Ivy
You are pleading for forgiveness yet you are asking me to give you punishment.
Maid
Pl....ase for-forgive me....
Ivy
Guards, question her till she answers. If she doesn't throw her in the lake.
Maid
*widen eyes* No miss. Forgive me. I will do everything you ask me to. Just don't kill me.
Ivy
Which master do you serve?
Maid
I serve for *hiccups* viscountess Rosina.
Maid
She bribed the servant chooser.
She looked at the guards and gave them sign.
Maid
She wanted to *hiccups* poison the young lady. Because *hiccups* you insulted her at the last banquet.
Ivy
Stop crying or I will take your eyeballs out.
Maid
*kneels* Forgive me miss.
Maid
I shall not cry for now.
Ivy
Guards take her out and throw her in the lake.
Maid
Mi-miss you promised me you wouldn't kill me.
Ivy
*comes closer* When did I promise such a lowly maid?
Maid
WITCH!!! YOU SHALL DIE!!!
Guards/Maids/Workers
How dare you insult our princess!
Guards/Maids/Workers
Take her.
The maid was screaming and insulting Ivy.
While being grabbed by the guards.
Rumors started to spread between the servants of the house.
Ivy was a legitimate child and was cherished by everyone.
But she had inherited her Father's temper and his coldness.
She was already distant from the social circle first but it changed after a girl appeared.
The girl was none another than the heroine of the novel and a illegitimate child of this house.
Both of them were total opposites.
Where Olivia was rather cheerful and sweet; Ivy was cold and disciplined.
Both of them were representing day and night.
It was known that Olivia's mother was quite a beauty.
That's why the Duke of this kingdom pursued her.
But she soon died while giving birth to Olivia.
Her daughter was kept hidden by her aunt to keep her safe.
Originally, the Duke had three children.
The eldest one died in the battle.
Olivia was a threat for both of the Duke's children.
While Olivia had made the society fallen for her sweet, cheerful and innocence; Ivy felt burdened.
She was jealous of her so she started going out in social parties and everything.
That's what the servants thought.
Ivy knew that Olivia would appear since she was not the original Ivy.
The society had crippled Ivy into having evil intention for Olivia.
But the servants were still sided with Olivia.
Because the reality is harsh for illegitimate daughter like Olivia.
And Olivia was still happy despite her situation.
She used to treat every servant with utmost respect which made them fall for her even more.
As Ivy was strict and gives compliment rarely.
And their first meeting was really dramatic.
