The Puppeteer and the Beast
Sect leader Wang Yuling narrowed her eyes at the maid Yingying standing before her. There was no doubt in her heart that this was the thief who had stolen her precious gold headpiece. She had known from the moment this maid had spoken to her that something was not right.
Sect leader Wang Yuling examined her closely, noting the fear in the maid's eyes as sweat formed on her skin. This angered Wang Yuling further, to think a mere maid would have the audacity to steal something so precious to her.
"You are the thief, are you not? You stole my headpiece! Confess now or I will have you tortured until you do." She threatened icily, her voice cutting through the silence in the room.
The maid began to tremble and then finally nodded her head. She knelt before Wang Yuling, her body shaking.
