Get Money From Father

" WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!" Vivaldi shouted booming in this first-floor living room.

Vivian and Orchidia gasped, they were slightly surprised by Vivaldi's shout. But not with Arabella, she had heard and felt that scream very often. Swears, yells, insults, and all the hurtful words she had gotten from her father's mouth many times in her past life, so Arabella was used to it. There was nothing Arabella was afraid of anymore.

Rose appeared, her dress changed and her puffy face compressed.

"WHY YOU JUST APPEARS NOW, ROSE?" asked Vivaldi in a booming voice, again.

"I'm sorry, My Lord. I was compressing my face and changing my dress" Rose whispered. Even her cheeks were still very throbbing from Vivaldi's slap.

Vivaldi squeaked, he was sick of seeing Rose today. Whereas usually, Rose is the entertainer in this house.

' Why am I only now realizing that this Rose is so annoying? Since the first, she always tried to lick me, even wasted my money ' thought Vivaldi annoyed.

His eyes turned to Orchidia who looked elegant and not annoying like Rose, it seemed that Vivaldi had found someone who had just replaced Rose to warm his bed.

"Why haven't you given Arabella's monthly budget? You're getting more and more impudent! From the maids to the rooms, until now Arabella's monthly budget, you've been holding on to everything. You feel great, don't you? Because I gave you the due to manage this residence for a while?" Vivaldi accused while squinting his eyes suspiciously. He felt Rose starting to think she was great and powerful in this residence.

Rose's eyes widened, "no, My Lord. How could I do that!" she denied in fear.

' Rose's screams of pain and Father's screams are about to begin again,' Arabella thought happily.

After a while, finally, the violent drama played by Vivaldi and Rose was over.

The third concubine, Vivian, had left because she was afraid to see Rose being beaten like that. As for Orchidia, remained in the living room with Arabella because the young girl had asked her to stay there.

"There will be interesting things in a moment, be patient," said Arabella when she asked Orchidia to accompany her.

As someone who trusted Arabella, Orchidia complied with the young girl's request.

After Rose was brought by the maids to be treated, Vivaldi sat back on the sofa with an annoyed expression. His hands were again covered in powder and blush.

"Please, Father. I've asked the maid to prepare water and towels to clean your hands," said Arabella in a calm tone.

"Orchidia," Vivaldi's gaze rested on Orchidia who was sitting next to Arabella, "from today on, all of Arabella's needs are taken care of by you. You can come directly to me for anything about Arabella, no need to go through Rose. If that cheap bitch gets in your way, report to me. Don't be afraid. Let me teach her another lesson " Vivaldi hissed.

"Yes, My Lord. It is an honor for me to be able to help Lady Arabella," replied Orchidia obediently.

' It turns out that this is what Lady Arabella meant earlier, the interesting thing she meant is that I started to have power in this residence' thought Orchidia who had just understood Arabella's intention to ask her to stay here.

Vivaldi sighed tiredly, "why didn't I just leave the household affairs to a noblewoman huh? Everything that Rose took care of was not right at all" sighed Vivaldi.

' Because Father has been too blinded by the serpent woman's seduction,' answered Arabella in her heart.

" Arabella's monthly budget as the official daughter of this residence is 80 Gold, and I added another 50 Gold for Arabella shopping. So in total Arabella will receive 130 Gold this month, if in the near future there is another party or someone invites Arabella, then I will add it again. Every month I will give it to Orchidia, and Orchidia will give it to Arabella. If something is missing, Orchidia will be the intermediary. Do you understand, Arabella? "said Vivaldi. The point is, to avoid jealousy from other daughters, Vivaldi intends to make Orchidia an intermediary so that Arabella does not become a target for his daughters of Rose.

* 130 Gold: 13.000 USD. 1 Gold = 100 USD.

* The currency: Copper, Silver, Gold. (For details, see Author's note)

"I understand very well. Thank you, Father," said Arabella.

"After this, you guys get ready. Orchidia, you come to my room to get the money" Vivaldi ordered.

The two women of different ages nodded in unison.

The 130 Gold was already in Arabella's hands, currently, she and Orchidia were in the horse-drawn carriage heading downtown to do some shopping.

Arabella's bright expression showed that she was happy.

"You look happy, Arabella" Orchidia said softly.

Arabella smiled broadly, "Sure, who doesn't like getting money?" Arabella chuckles.

' Maybe it's time I gave Orchidia a little explanation,' Arabella thought.

"Concubine Orchidia, I thought I had a few things to tell you. Can we stop by the Dessert Cafe which isn't too busy?" asked Arabella.

"Of course, you can, Arabella. But, most of the Dessert Cafes are always crowded with noble ladies" replied Orchidia.

Arabella's mind drifted to the past, if there's not mistaken there was a Dessert Cafe that would become very famous in a few years but now it's still quiet because the Cafe belongs to the common people. Nobles wouldn't set foot in a Dessert Cafe made by commoners unless the Dessert was really good. The truth about the enjoyment of Dessert from that Café was only known a few years later when their royal Queen disguised herself as a commoner and found the Café.

' Alright, I decided to go to the cafe and try dessert there' thought Arabella.

"By any chance, I know a nice and quite quiet Dessert Cafe, Concubine Orchidia. Can we go there?" Arabella asked.

"Yes, Arabella. Please tell the coachman where it is."
