How dare you!? Are you still trying to deceive me? (Part 1)

The maid was so scared she forced herself to take each step towards the crazed figure, she wasn't even a martial artist just a lowly maid in the sect and accidentally overheard something she, shouldn't and that's alright Little Miss doesn't realize her presence.

But when she heard the sudden scream she barged into the room reflexively as a duty bound maid she was very much frightened once her head maid said don't be nosy and curious about other people business.

She also know that few maids gone missing because they know something they shouldn't so she was understand weight of her predicament the head maid crouched down near her mistress and gently shake her then jumped back in fright both of them screamed in unison at startled by one another.

"Aaaarrrgggghhhh! " "Aaaarrrrgggghhhh"

The maid was little speechless and ashamed by her own clumsy behavior.

Megha had to try her best to calm down her galloping heart and ragged breathing she realized she was overreacting when she saw the pale and frightened face of the maid she quickly looked at the direction towards the door with bated breath 'Er....Why didn't I see any guard to rushing over here'

Then her eyes slid back to the maid in front of her, 'Hmm! why does she look very familiar, did I know her from somewhere?'she secretly thought to herself "L-little Miss, is ev-verything alright" she gulped beads of sweat formed in her pale forehead "I heard you were suddenly screaming... are you felt pain from somewhere?"

Megha face was one of atmost composed expression, Little wary if anything she could tell the maid was afraid to be in the same room as her and she wasn't least bit surprised because of this besides she felt no internal energy from the maid which means she was an ordinary person who know nothing about how powerful a martial artist can be 'Not many people blessed enough to broke past the limits of an ordinary human and looking at her frightened look she doesn't even strike me as an ambitious one so....' her thoughts trailed off as she thought of more pressing matters.

Mega didn't look relieved she was getting more apprehensive as the times go on 'What were these bas***** thinking, shouldn't they send someone at least in the level of master to check in the room?' she couldn't guess what the Old foggies were thinking but she wouldn't put down her guard just because of that.

Instantly she became little more vigilante towards the maid and discretely observed her, 'Why does she come here to meet me alone, despite knowing there was a chance for her to die one way or another' her eyes widened in realization as she glanced at the opened door not further from where she was sitting.

'Heh! aren't I being plain stupid here, how could they send a normal person to check up on me' a self deprecating glint fleeting past her eyes ' Who knows how powerful she is, her level is at least at the great-grandmaster realm hehehe, how ignorant of me' she mocked herself in her heart as she re-evolvated her assumptions but her expression didn't change nor did she let it show she has seen through other party's tricks.

"What Is it?" her tone was devoid of any emotions the maid flinched and strutteringly asked whether she felt pain or uncomfortable "I'm fine, thank you for your concern" she replied In the same emotionless voice she noticed maid flinching little but pretend to not notice anything she quickly excused herself went to somewhere after silently closed the door behind her.

Megha narrowed her eyes at this but remained seated in the floor her mind and thoughts became chaotic forsome reason she felt little muddleheaded her thoughts once again turned to her last moments and subconsciously touched her neck 'Was she drugged?'

It was the only logical conclusion she can came up with She, was sure that she really died and had this indescribable and unshakable feeling towards the vivid experience. She felt her senses never heightened to such a degree ever before not even when she breakthrough to grandmaster realm could surmise that, could swear she even saw her headless body fell back from defrent point of view.

But her current situation was strongly contradicting with her belief about her experience of death if she was really died then where was she now and what about this familiar situation and if she doesn't really didn't died at that time then Megha believed she was under the effect of some powerful drugs.

Megha didn't try to escape anymore she wasn't that stupid, what a joke if a person at great-grandmaster level dressed up as a maid and pretending to be serving her then she could roughly grasp just how terrible her situation was she forcefully gulped ' I Must Not show them I have no longer in their control lets act along for now' she thought to herself.

Mega hurriedly looked up when she noticed the door swings open she act along as she played her part when she nodded her head to the maid's apology bow with indifferent expression she carefully kneeled besides her and open a exquisite jade bottle in her hands.

The medicinal fragrance assaulted Mega's nose 'A lesser healing pill from the smell of it' she curiously look up at the maid who looking at her "Little Miss, lord physician instructed us to give this to you when you felt any pain or uncomfortable" the maid gesture for her to take some medicine.

'In your dreams! do you think I'm stupid and take something suspicious from a suspicious person like you keep dreaming' she thought with ridicule "Ah, I'm sorry I didn't want that for now you can give it to me I'll consume one when I felt little uncomfortable " she politely replied the maid looked like she wanted to say something but Megha quickly changed topic.

" Can you please help me get back to my mattress?" the maid nodded as she put that bottle back to her pocket "Yes? "

'What the?' she stared dumbly at the maid as she get up from the floor she had to look up little if she wanted to see the maid face 'What sort of sorcery was this?'

As a person who respectfully called Master of Martial arts by mass she had clear discerning perceptives and keen eyes not to mention she was also a medicine practitioner it was but a second nature for her to guess the height and weight of a person in certain distance if she trying little harder she can even roughly diagnosis their body condition.

She was even planning to test whether the maid was powerful practitioner or not but all of them blown back her head as soon she noticed the sudden height difference it drawn to her something was off but she was very certain her judgement wasn't wrong.

According to her calculation Megha should be little taller than her not the other way around then how come she became almost head shorter than her this make no sense 'Wait! am I still under the influence of the drugs yes, this must be the case' she does indeed felt muddledhead for some time.

'What a strong hallucination effect, thank God! I dodged the arrow this time ' she was terrified by the effect a grandmaster has extraordinary perception and mental powers to make some one like her to influence like this it wasn't without side effects.

'Even with my first level myriad poison body I'm afraid this drug could cause some serious damage to my body and to some extent my sturdy martial foundation' she carefully sit back on her mattress "Ouch!" she yelped little.

'Damn it, why does my body felt like a dead log' her body kind of ached all over when she woke up she didn't realize the dull pain all over her body it was only this time when she pretending to ask the maid for help did she understand how bad her body condition really.

She bit her lips from gasping from pain it was a disgrace to herself, even if she caught in their hands she wouldn't act disgraceful 'A Martial artist should live and die with some dignity' she resolutely thought to herself.

"Miss, here you should take this medicine, it should alleviate some pain"

"Just leave it here, I'll take it sometimes later"

"You were supposed to take this immediately, its not -"

"Hey! Are not you going little overboard for a maid you were very persistent" she sneered at the maid "What! are you going to force me?" she chuckled but she immediately regretted.

A determined look flashed in the maid's eyes she really payed open Megha's mouth and made her swallow the pill all the while Megha really didn't dare to move her survival instincts kicked in didn't dare to attack the maid who was force feeding her some dangerous drug.

'Well this way at least, I can live past few days wasnt I? ' she thought to herself she felt humiliation washed over her the little bit of dignity she was talking about all but thrown out of somewhere far away her quick mind couldn't reach out.

'Er....why didn't I sense anything else in this was it tasteless and odorless substance' her thoughts ran wild 'Or I'm already under it's effects..... F***' she let loose a wide variety of profanities which someone of her status would never speak or knowledge of 'Alright, it's matter not at least some part of my mind is clear of its effect that's mean I'm slowly show some immunity towards it, good, good, I will get over this'

She glared at the maid and scorned "Don't you felt this is beneath someone of your status and power, hehehe dressed up as a maid and drugging me like this " she throw her a mocking look and provoked her further " It's a pity I can see through your sloppy act hehehe it's stupid"

If Megha was little bit more rational she wouldn't dare to provoke some mysterious expert like this no matter what her self preservation was very high, at least that's what saved her life for this long or so she thinks.

Her mind stability wasn't good at the moment force feeding some dangerous drug wasn't a pleasant experience she want to experience she acted out little and let the other party what was she thinking.

'Huh? what is she talking about?' the maid frowned in confusion what was going on she had to admit she was little impulsive there to be honest she was on the edge all the time her little Miss eyes and behavior was very abnormal she was acting kind of unhinged so she was praying for Vanni to come back so she could escape from her prediction.

"Huh? " was all she could say, Megha couldn't help but show her contept towards this maid let out a low chuckle "Wow, I learned something new today, don't continue with your pathetic performance of act I know you were a powerful marital artist" ' Damn it, why is my emotions all over the places today is this medicine triggering my anger or something?'

She was kind of panicked as she started to accuse the other party all of a sudden l but she could only go on "Heh, do you take me for a stupid, I know you were a great-grandmaster realm expert so " she shrugged then her expression turned screwed " So don't try to trick me..... you were probably hired from out side the empire don't you"

She said with conviction as she going on with glimmer in her eyes " I never heard of you and from your age and dedication I can also tell you were a independent practitioner a genius one at that you don't belong to any faction am I right? "

There was an astonished look in her face and gaping at her Mistress with, blank face "Let me offer you a deal.... I promise you, this way both of us get what do we want.... what do you think"

The maid's mind was In complete mess what was she supposed to say to this could it be if her answer wasn't satisfactory Little Miss attack her would she? the crazed look in her mistress eyes was kind of scary to look at.

And what's with the mocking when did she became suddenly such a terrifying expert and what's more her mistress claiming to be a grandmaster level expert was there ever fifteen year old grand master was she telling the truth? why is telling me?

Countless questions started pop into her head wildly then ever so slowly a seed of fear and doubt crept into her mind getting stronger 'Was this some kind of scheme' she was deliberately come to be Little Miss Maid because she was kind to everyone taken care of her subbordinates very well 'Then why is my fate become like this'

"L-little Miss what D-do you mean?" Megha was frowned a little when she noticed pale face of the maid her expressionless face had a gloomy tint to it as she watched the perfect acting of other party she sighed in her heart " My offer still stands if you want hear my proposal....." she trailed off shaking her head.

'Hmm! the pill does really seem to have good healing effect' she secretly thought to her self
