She kept looking at the man who was kneeling on the floor with blindfold covering his eyes. After some time, she finally spoke. "If it isn't our very own Mr winter". She said, smiling wickedly at the man kneeling on the floor.
"Do you think you can owe my uncle and get away with it." She added. She has been trying to capture the man since a long time, not because she can't catch him but she has been giving him chances to pay the money back."I'm sorry, please forgive me. I'm so stupid for doing such a thing. Please spare me and my family." He begged, tears falling from his eyes."Spare your family?" She asked, laughing so hard, that it makes the man tremble in fear."You should have thought of them the moment you decided not to pay my uncle back. Owing my uncle is a mistake, but I , coming to collect it from you, is your biggest mistake." She added, taking a knife from the table in front of her. She looked at the man and kept on laughing. Then suddenly, she stopped. "But I won't kill you, you still have to pay the money you owe." She said with a smirk. She gave the knife to the huge man standing beside her and said. "Cut off his Pinky and left thumb.""Huh? You want me to do that?" The huge man asked her, confirming to be sure he heard her right."Do you want me to do it instead. I might as well cut yours with his." She said, raising her head to him and swaying her black hair in the air. "Get it done with, don't make me repeat my word." The lady said raising her eyebrows at him before she stood up, she looked at the man one last time before leaving the house."No!! Please forgive me, I will pay his money. Come back, please. Someone help me." The man shouted and begged in tears, he kept on crying and shouting thinking someone might come to help him or maybe the girl will reconsider. But the girl had long gone, she didn't even look back at him.In the kingdom of Demecia, the king is having an audience with his ministers and Chief secretaries."My king, if the price of the goods increase, it will make more money for the king and also the ministers." Mr Travis, one of the chief secretaries said."Yes my king, the price of goods in the market are cheap. We can enable more tax in the kingdom." Another man said."I don't see why we should increase the tax, I mean it will still affect the people." Another man said.The king who was on the throne only sat down and watched them argue before he finally spoke."Are you all done? Or you need more time to argue?" The king asked raising his voice at them. They all kept mute and bow their heads.There will be no raise in any price, the price will be the same. The king said. He knew what they're trying to do, they're trying to raise the price for their own gain, and he also knows Travis is a selfish person."But your highness, the price are too low and it's affecting the tax. Mr Travis said again.He was about to say another thing, before the king cuts him off.I'm the king of this kingdom, I make the rules and no one, I repeat no one should or can question my authority. The king said looking directly at Mr Travis. I hope I'm clear? He asked before standing up from his throne to leave."Travis, you can see how much I've tried, but the king didn't even want to listen to us." The man who supported Travis said. Isn't the king your childhood friend, why did he treat you that way? I guess he must have known about your plan. The man kept on talking to Travis, who didn't even pay him any attention. He was already fuming in anger before the man came.He left the castle in anger without waiting or talking to anyone. When he got home, he saw his niece waiting for him in the living room."Uncle, you're back? Welcome, I've been waiting for you." Eve said standing up straight in front of the man."Hmm ok." Mr Travis replied, sitting down on the chair. He was so sad and down, he kept thinking about what the king had said to him. "I've done what you sent me to do." She said, referring to Mr winter who was owing her uncle. "Is there something wrong?" She asked, noticing her uncle was down."I've never felt so insulted in my life like I felt today." He said, feeling pity for himself. "He insulted me right in front of everyone, and I couldn't do a thing than to leave in anger."Who was it? Who insulted you?" She asked looking at her uncle for an answer. She wondered who dares try to insult her uncle because surely, the person will regret ever doing such. "Who would it have been, if not the very king of Demecia kingdom, King Henry." He replied, smiling at her as if he hit his head.She kept mute for some time, her uncle has been working with the king for a very long time. Even though lately, her uncle has been complaining about the king, she didn't expect the king to insult him."I will teach him a lesson he will never forget, I will make sure he pays for everything he had said to me." Mr Travis said in anger. looking at her uncle for a while, she asked. What will you do to him? I mean he's the king, and he has a lot of power, so what will yo.. She continued, she was about to finish talking before her uncle cut her off saying."I will make sure he never has the chance to talk to me that way again." The king has to die. He said looking at Eve, who was staring at him in surprise.Are you trying to say that you want to eliminate the king?" Eve asked in a low voice. Even though she has torture a lot of people, killing the king will be a very difficult task and the fact that she hasn't even killed anyone before."You heard me right Eve. He embarrassed me today right in front of everyone, and this is not the first time of him doing that. I'm the one who made him what he is today, and this is what I get." Mr Travis said, gritting his teeth in anger."I understand uncle, but what if this backfires. I mean, killing the king is not an easy thing to do." Eve said, getting a bit worried. "That's why I want you to be the one to do it." Mr Travis suddenly said with an while smile.Huh? But this is not easy. How can I just go to the castle and kill the king. Eve said with a worried face. "I never said you will just go and kill him like that. I have a plan. I will make you become one of the king's maid, you just have to find a way to poison the king." Mr Travis said, stand
Butch and Eve arrived at the castle, they got down from the carriage and entered into the castle. Ellie who has never been to the castle before was surprised at the way the building walls were decorated with marbles. Despite how surprised she was, she managed to keep it to herself to avoid disgracing herself. They walked forward and entered the building when suddenly she heard a woman called out to Butch, she was walking down the stairs."Butch, what are you doing here? We're not expecting to see you today? Have you brought a new one?" The head maid asked, noticing a girl behind him."Yes, her name is Eve. She's from Mr Travis." Butch said with a smile before he continued. "He wants her to be one of the king's maid." Butch whispered, he doesn't want other people or the maids to hear him.King's maid?! Does he think it's easy to be the king's maid? The head maid asked. "And he wants me to take this one as the king's maid, take a look at her dressing." The head maid said, looking at Eve
"Here in the palace, you have to obey some rules. I guess when it comes to you, you'll have to obey a lot of rules." The woman said, walking through a corridor."Let me start by saying, always obey whatever the higher-ups in the palace tells you to do, and that also include me." Said the woman, stopping a little to intimidate the girl with her eyes. The head maid knew that the girl was a tough one, but she didn't have any choice than to accept her, moreover she won't last in the castle, she's definitely going to do something wrong."And also try to give a little smile while working, your face looks too serious." The woman said walking forward again.Don't talk when you're not asked to talk, and I think you can follow that. When you're asked a question, give a polite answer and not an offensive one. The woman said, looking back at her.They finally got to a building, where the woman pushed the door open. "This is the maid's quarters, it's where all the maids of the higher-ups in the pa
"Your highness your bath is ready." A maid said to the man who was on the bed with his eyes closed. Anyone who sees him right then will think that he was still sleeping but his maids knew better.Without saying a word, he got up and went to the bathroom to have his bath. The maids were already waiting for him in his bathroom for him to have his bath.Before he removed his robe, he took a thermometer and put it into the bathtub to test out the water."Who prepared this water? He asked, but the maids didn't reply him, they only shiver in fear. I asked you a simple question?" He asked raising his voice this time."It wa.. was me your highness." A maid replied him. She bowed her head and kept shivering in fear.Walking close to the maid, he asked. "Who sent you? Huh?" I'm asking you a question. He said yelling at her."No one your highness. Please forgive me." The maid cried, kneeling down to beg him.Then tell me exactly why you're trying to kill me. I told you all that my bathing water
In a cool garden filled with flowers, some trees and birds flying around. A man could be seen with brushes and paint, his clothes covered in paint and some sheets of paper were lying on the floor. He was painting the picture of a bird sitting on the tree. Shortly, a man and a woman entered the garden with some maids behind them."I told you, this is exactly where we're going to find him." King Henry said looking at the man who was painting.He didn't have to look behind him to know that it was his parents. "Why are you looking for me dear parent?" He asked facing and smiling at them.What? How can you ask us such question? "You're supposed to be having your archery practice right now but you're right here painting." The queen said raising her voice at him."Calm down mother. I can always do that later you know. Don't get yourself so worked up." He held his mother hands and smiled."Later? That's what you keeping saying. You're so far behind in archery and swordsmanship. Look at your f
In Ms Jane's room."Where do you want to see a new maid before tomorrow?" Asked Helen, sitting on the woman's bed."I don't even know. Young master is going to be so furious, he should really stop dismissing his maids." The head maid replied sitting on her bed.After a few minutes of silence. Helen looked at the woman and said. "I think you should send that new girl to him tomorrow." "No. Mr Travis insisted that we make her the king's maid, if he finds out we didn't do what he asked, he's not going to like it." The woman said, shaking her head in disagreement."I know he's going to get angry, but he won't find out about it. I'm sure that the prince will dismiss her even on a spot, you can make her the king's maid after that." Helen explained. "And also, when did you start caring about what Mr Travis will do?" Helen asked, feeling confused about the fact the woman is acting scared. "You're the head maid, and you have every right to do anything to the maids.""What? I'm not worried abo
"You mean that you want her as your maid?" The woman asked in shock."Yes, is there anything wrong with that?" He asked."No your highness, there's nothing wrong, you can have her as your maid. I will get going now." The woman said, bowing her head before she went out."What just happened? How can this be possible?" Eve thought getting surprised at what just happened.My bath must have gotten destroyed all because of you, but here's a warning in case of next time. I don't joke with my bath, you can ask them. He said turning towards Eve who was only staring at him.Eric went into the bathroom and have his bath, while the maids stood behind the door. He has specifically told them that he would do the bathing himself. "How can you do such a thing Eve." Liz whispered. But Eve didn't answer, she kept looking forward, into the empty space, she was so pissed at the head maid.It's all because of that old woman, I will surely make her pay. But first, I need to get out of this mess as soon as
"Oh my! I must have forgotten. How could I do such to the head maid." She said smiling sacarstically at the woman who was still staring at her in surprise."It looks like Mr Travis didn't talk to you well the last time. I guess he has to negotiate better when he comes to meet you again." She said before leaving the woman alone.The woman watched her leave and trembled in silence.Flashback.Mr Travis? What are you doing here in the maid's quarters? Ms Jane asked smiling at the man."Pardon me Ms Jane, I've come to see you." The man said."See me? What have you come to see me for?" Jane asked.The man sighed before talking."I have this girl of mine, who has been looking for a job in the castle so that she can support her family. What I want from you is just to make her a king's maid." The man said whispering to the woman."King's maid? That's not possible Mr Travis. There's no way a girl can just come from no where and decides to be the king's maid. The highest thing she can get is t
