Volume i (( 14 ))
Stealth magic is one of the easiest magic to master. I don't really care about others, but it was awfully easy for me. It's easy to use to spy on someone.
I stood in Crovina's room after she discovered us in the kitchen with invisibility magic on. With my arms folded, I stood by the door, watching as she buried herself under the blanket.
That's not what she did last time. I shook my head at her in disappointment.
When she first heard that I had slept with a maid. She went absolutely feral and used the gemstone against me. Causing so much pain in my heart that I first fell to the ground in agony. She didn't listen when I tried to speak and after a few seconds, I was unable to say anything due to the pain. It started suffocating me, breaking my breathing flow.
She didn't stop and I got into cardiac arrest and fell unconscious.
She almost killed me then, and that was the time I hadn't even done anything. I was offered to spend the night with many females but I had declined, I was not interested. Not until the time Corvina believed a lie and used her obsession to punish me.
And this time, now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she's just going to cry? What's this? This is so unlike her. Normally, she would have punished both Tracy and me. I was prepared to have my heart in another state of agony till I passed out, but...
Is she not going to do it?
No, I turned around to leave
I'm sure she'll come for me in the morning.
Tracy still had the audacity to come to my room and dress me up and do my my hair. I could see that all the while she was doing her job, she was a nervous wreck.
Of course, she should be. Everyone in the mansion knows how obsessed I am with Hael and how crazy I can get. But what do I do with her?
I can't fire Tracy, but I can punish her.
As long as she's still here, father shouldn't complain.
There was a knock on the door,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏.
I replied and Hael stepped in the room. The moment he showed his face, my chest squeezed and I felt suffocated.
I looked away. You shouldn't do this! You can't!!
I ordered but kept my eyes off of him. He stopped right by the door while Tracy turned her head to look at him in fear. Right, I need to take care of her first.
Hael Helio / ml
𝒀𝒆𝒔, 𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑭𝒆𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒑.
Tracy's eyes went wide while Hael was only confused but didn't say a word.
Hael Helio / ml
𝑨 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕?
I stood up from the puffy
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒅.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑯𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒖𝒑, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈.
Hael opened the door to leave.
Tracy tried to go after Hael.
I called her name sternly and she stopped in her path,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎.
Hael left while she looked back at me.
Tracy / fl maid
𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆!?
She pointed out the door,
Tracy / fl maid
𝑯𝒂𝒆𝒍 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒐!
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰'𝒎 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒘𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒅.
I stared at her with confidence,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒌𝒔.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒓𝒖𝒅𝒆.
At first she was surprised that I didn't mention her and Hael's debaucherous act but rather called her out on her incompetence.
Tracy / fl maid
𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕?
She tried to step out of the room
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆, 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅.
She stopped as soon as she started. She turned her head to glare at me,
Tracy / fl maid
𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒆?
Tracy / fl maid
𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
Tracy / fl maid
𝑰'𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
I would have lost it. Her words were rude and her tone was ridiculously harsh. But I didn't. I knew what kind of a person I was in the past. And I was well aware how the staff didn't like me. I was a tantrum throwing brat since I was a child.
I used to slap the maids too when I was a kid because I thought no one could go against me. But when the staff realized the count wasn't fond of me, they knew I held no such power over them and
They started to ignore me
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑬𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕.
I gestured to the door with my face,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑶𝒓 𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒂𝒈𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆.
Tracy / fl maid
𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅?
Tracy talked to me as if I was her maid, not the other way around.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑴𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆.
I chose not to get triggered by her words. No matter how much everyone hates me, no matter how much my father ignores me. I still hold the title of the lady of the house.
Tracy's fury got higher and her face started to get red. She grabbed the helms of her dress in distress as she glared back at me.
Tracy / fl maid
𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 ?
Corvina Cory / fl
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕.
The door opened and Hael stepped inside with a black whip, specifically used to discipline the maids. He must have gotten it from the Head maid.
But how did he know I was going to use it on Tracy? I didn't tell him.
Hael made his way to me but I turned my gaze away. I didn't want him in my sight.
He presented the whip to me and I took it.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒖𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔.
The fear in Tracy's eyes grew. Hael didn't move immediately. He kept his eyes on me for a few seconds, waiting for me to look at him or say something else. But when I didn't, he moved and left the room.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏?
| straightened out the whip and she flinched
Corvina Cory / fl
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 5 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆.
Her voice lowered on its own
I was not going to give her any leverage,
Her face started getting paler
I gripped the whip tightly
She closed her eyes in fear
She opened them softly and walked over
Tracy / fl maid
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒎𝒆.
The burning sensation on my calves caused by whipping got me mad. I sat in the herbal room, on a small stool, rubbing the ointment on my skin, trying to soothe the pain.
How could she do this to me!! She may have said it was for my incompetence but I know she took out her anger on me since she saw Hael having sex with me!!
That wench was jealous! I let out a rough breath.
She must have felt utterly hopeless seeing how the man she's mad for was inside me! It must have tore her seeing how Hael wanted me and not her!
And I'm going to make her more miserable!
