Episode 14

When we arrived at my house, I asked her to wait outside for a few seconds while I sent someone with medicine, Lila obeyed, waiting by the side of the door.

As I entered my room, all sweaty from climbing the tree that leads directly to my room. Definitely, I need to exercise more.

Jumping out of my window, I see my sister running out.

"You're alive!"

"Hey, what did you think?"

"Nothing, did you manage to get what you wanted?"

"Yes, she really liked it and look-"

I showed her the emblem that the emperor had given me.

"Who did you steal that from?"

"Trust me sister, from no one, I know what I'm doing."

"Alright, I will let you be, but you have to tell me everything."

"Okay, I promise, I will tell you everything."

"I don't know what happened to you in the last month, but I like you now... Hurry up and change because our parents will be here any minute."

I nodded, slowly improving my relationship with my sister, it is clear that it is something she wanted for a long time, when she leaves I call Doris, asking her to take some medicine to the girl outside, if someone sees her, say she is her friend, she nods, while I change out of my sweaty clothes, before changing I take off my bandages. I was almost completely healed, the bruises were hardly visible...

I put on training clothes, as I didn't like the dresses and they were too heavy, this clothes has been my ally this month.

After changing, I go downstairs just as my parents arrived. My sister sends me to call, to receive our parents, we both go out.

"Sister, what are you doing in training clothes?"

"I don't have money for more comfortable dresses."

"Your allowance?"

"What allowance?"

"We'll talk about it later."

I already planted the doubt in my sister, she seemed to give a glance to the maid who used to serve me.

Upon the arrival of the dukes, all the staff were at the entrance to greet them, except Doris, who was coming from behind the carriage.

As my parents got out of the carriage, they only looked at her, but Paula wanted to go against Doris, perhaps she wanted to keep her away from me. Shamelessly, she started yelling at her.

"You brat, where were you, you were supposed to be here to welcome the masters."

She looks at my mother and says,

"Don't worry ma'am, I will educate her better, so she can fulfill her responsibilities."

Everyone was stunned by the situation, no one had ever been punished in this manner in this house, Paula must be desperate to act without thinking. However, I wasn't going to let her touch that girl, especially when she was doing a favor for me.

So I approach before she delivers the first blow, and I hold her hand.

"Who are you to discipline my maid?"

"Don't tease, miss, I am her maid."

"I made it clear that you are not anymore."

Everyone was confused about what was happening, the cook tried to intervene, but I just gave him a look and he stayed in his place. My father was the one to speak.

"Well, home sweet home, we arrived and already have problems."

Paula gave a slight smile, but something unexpected happened, my sister defended me.

"Father, I think you should listen to what's going on before making a judgment, my sister is just defending her maid."

"Alright, let's go to my office and see what's going on here."

We headed to my parents' study, both of them leading the way, followed by my sister who was smiling at me and then both maids.

The six of us entered the office, my father sat on the two-seater sofa next to my mother, on the other sofa he motioned for us to sit with my sister.

"Well Little One, what's going on?"

"Father, I didn't want it to come to this, but I have complaints about Paula."

"She has served you faithfully for so long, tell me, what's wrong?"

My eyes filled with tears, crying every day is getting easier for me, this is the moment to make my position clear, Paula not only abused me by stealing my money but also by feeding me poorly, the water she used with me was always cold, she said that's what my family wanted, she woke me up in the middle of the night for no reason, she wouldn't let me sleep for days so that I could study, in other words, she was abusing me and I just believed that my family had sent her to do those vile tasks.

So, it was time for my revenge.

I got up from the couch and lifted my shirt, although I had already healed, the bruise was still there. My family's face was surprised, as was Paula's, except for Doris, the rest were stunned. The first to react was my mother.

"What happened to you, daughter?"

With tears in my eyes, I began to speak.

"Sorry Paula, but this has already gone too far."

I told her of all her abuse and how she said they were my parents, although that blow was not provided by Paula, it was not long before she would start with punishments of this style.

When I finished, Paula didn't know where to run, my father looks at her and asks her
