Maidservant's Point of View
"Miss Mar---"
"No! Shut up you lowly maid! You already know that we are still fighting! You Lady of House Relantia how could you be such a whore! I thought you like the third prince but you are aiming at the Crowned Prince!!! Didn't I already warned all of the ladies in each house am I? That HE IS MINE!" The Lady of House Ferilla shouted at the Lady of House Relanta.
"You're too much! The king already announced that he will be married to me! I DIDN'T WANT IT AT ALL! If you don't want it then blame the Emperor! I don't care whoever I will be married anyway. I'm not a bitch that complains everything that was rightful just because your ego and pride and even the so called 'Love'." The Lady of House Ferilla answered her and the face of Lady of House Relanta reddened.
Oh God! If Your Highness would know the fight between the two houses inside the La Marquess residence, we would be blamed and punished! I was about to interrupt and say something about the fight but then suddenly another person interrupted them. This person gives an intimidating aura that filled the entire tea ceremony as she walks towards the two nobles.
She gazed at me with her cold and golden eyes within her mask. I felt suffocated and can't breathe.
"Who are you?! You also want to interrupt our fight?!!" Lady of House Ferilla shouted at her. She sighed heavily and give her a cold, cold stare. I felt like it's a reminder to them.
Lady of House Ferilla immediately feels like she cut her own tongue. After that she gaze at the second lady, who is looking into the other direction.
"Why would a lowly knight intervene this fight! And she deserves to die! How dare a daughter of a Viscount spoke to a person like me, who is the daughter of a Duke!" She shouted again. It seems she isn't intimidated from Her Highnesses cold stare.
Her Highness spoke coldly as if I felt my tongue went numb, my heart raced and nervousness is filling up in my entire body. Her mask glistened as the pressure and tension in the ceremony is getting high.
"Who are this people, Ahra?" Her Highness ask me with my name. I began to shake. My throat appears to be dry since it feels it doesn't have any saliva to be spitted.
"Y-your Highness, They are the Lady of H-house Ferilla and the L-lady of House Relanta." I spoked almost not breathing. I feel my lungs is pumping like it was gonna explode.
"Oh. Okay." She replied. These two words that shakes my body that already went numb and she gracefully walks towards the two girls. The two ladies immediately acting like panicked and their eyes widened.
"All of you, why are you creating a mess, a ruckus to be exact, within my Mansion and made my maidservants and even the other ladies of other houses, witnessed everything? And the two of you are even the ladies that represents each respective houses? Two of you, GET OUT!" With finality and cold stare, Her Highness shouted at them. The two ladies immediately went silence and ran away out. Also they seems confused and shocked. Well how dare they fight within the House of La Marquess with the Lady of La Marquess is still present.
Her Highness looked at the other ladies, who is still shocked while holding their tea. It seems like they are unaware that Your Highness is having a sword practice. Of course, they didn't have braincells to think.
She is the only successor and remaining La Marquess in the entire kingdom. Many of them already died since they are executed and feared from other kingdoms. Maybe there are still survivors but they are afraid to take the throne. The throne holds your life. If the throne doesn't think of you as a rightful heir, then the throne will make a mistake to let you die in the most painful way. Even maidservants are chosen since they are also part of the La Marquess Palace.
"All of you, let this things be forgotten. Understood?" She ask coldly. She is cold as ice, as beautiful as time and as dangerous as fate but she is not cruel. Her beauty even shines when she wears a mask as the morning sun shines and seemingly seeking the lady from the windows.
They nod and faked their smiles. Oh-uh! Wrong move. The Palace itself and Her Highness aren't a fan of fake smiles. And we already know too well about it.
She look at them sharply. They immediately sensed that she wants them to leave and what happened in the garden must be kept secret.
They immediately ran and know already that she is lady Lumiere. She is known for cold and golden piercing eyes. Her eyes symbolizes the La Marquess household. A dazzling, golden yet dangerous eyes but she isn't really like that inside the household.
After the commotion she immediately smiles that wavers us and the wind blows into her wavy bright red hair. The cold and piercing eyes becomes warm and kind.
She immediately orders the servants to clean up the mess and she went inside the mansion.
