"Lucass I'm here".
"Ahhh sister your here".
Lucas came running to me and hugged me tightly.
"Haha it's been a whi- huhh?. Lucas what happened to your face". Lucas's left cheek was very red as if someone hitted him.
"Huhh my face. Nothing".
"Don't lie to me!! Tell me did someone hit you?".
"Hmm".
"Who?".
"The new maid".
"The new maid?". I never knew that Lucas's maid had been changed. Tsk I know who's behind this. I called Emily inside.
"Emily!!".
"Yes Madam".
"Call the maid who serves Lucas, the head maid and Cedric as well. Fast!".
"Yes". Did something happen. Madam looks really pissed.
After a while....
"Madam everyone's here".
"Call them inside".
"Please come".
"Hmm Cedric and Emily please come and stand at my side". The head maid and the maid that was serving Lucas are in front of me.
"You, what's your name. I've heard you've been serving my brother".
"Ahh y-ess. I'm Michelle".
"Hmm". I stood up and went closer to the maid and then rose my hand and....
SLAPP!!
"Huhh lady don't you have any manners. How could you slap someone without any reason". The head maid said out of anger.
"Huhh? Oh without any reason. Then let me tell you why I slapped her. I was just doing the same thing as she did to my brother. So Michelle, did you think I wouldn't know that you were abusing my brother". I said with a cold voice.
"Huhh Madam how could you call this abuse!!".
"Ahh head maid you probably heard that. She revealed that she did hit my brother. Emily and Cedric, you both heared it as well right!?".
"Yes Madam".
"Yes".
"Now Michelle tell me one thing. Who ordered you to abuse my brother huh?. Don't you dare lie or else I'll throw some puches on that pretty face of yours!!".
"Lady, your crossing the line over here. Even if your getting married to His Highness doesn't mean you can do anything you want".
"Silence! Head maid. I don't want to hear a single word from your mouth".
"How utterly dis-!".
"Head maid, you heard Madam. Please keep quite". As Madam's knight and teacher I need to step in.
"Hmm Speak!! Michelle!!". I said while staring at her with a killing intent.
"Ahh..th-the...Head Maid ordered me to do it. My lady I promise it was an order.
"Oh heared that. Well I knew it".
"You damn lier. How could you accuse me of somet-. . . . . SLAPP!"
I slapped the head maid. Returning her what she did to Lucas. Once isn't enough though. I want to cut her tongue for ordering something like that. This old hag!
"Ho-how could you do that to me lady. You have no authority to raise your hand against me. I'll report this to His Highness and then we'll see what your going to do. Hahh that insolent behavior of yours needs a lesson".
"Head maid, mind your manner. Your talking to the future Crown Princess of Standford and more than that your talking to the future wife of His Highness so please mind your words".
"Huhh Sir Cedric, aren't you His Highness's loyal knight it seems this woman has bewitched you as well haha".
"What are you saying Head Maid!".
.........
"This is pissing me alot. Little Squirrel isn't coming for dinner as well. Tsk how arrogant can she even be. I guess I have to force her over, hmm....wait a minute! What's all that ruckus. It seems to be coming over from Little Squirrel's brother's room!".
.........
"This woman she's a witch! A wench, she casted a spell on His Highness and is controlling him!".
"What are you saying Head maid, our lady isn't like that. Please mind your words, how could you say something like that".
"Hahh see Emily, even you as well! She's bewitched you as well. Such a villainous!!".
"Head Maid!!".
Silence...
"Your High-highness!?".
"Head Maid how dare you spout such words".
"Huhh Your Highness. No no your wrong, I'm telling you she's a witch, she's hyp-"
"Silence!! Don't utter a single word.... Little Squirrel are you okay?".
Huhh huhh wait what! Why is Allen over here, I've been ignoring him all day. And why is he even worried about me. He doesn't care about me anyway.
"You needn't worry".
It seems Little Squirrel is still mad at me,well I did bring this upon myself.
"What's going on here Cedric?"
"Your Highness, Madam's brother has been being abused by the new maid. And clearly it was an order from the head maid".
"Hmm I see. Head maid why did you do this. It's utterly disgraceful".
"You-your Highness, I'm telling you! This woman has bewitched all of you!! She even had the nerve to hit me!!"
"Enough of your nonsense. Celine did you hit the head maid?"
"I certainly did". Well that's what she get for trying something vulgar.
"Hmm well done. And this maid?"
"I slapped her as well".
"Hahh good enough!". My little Squirrel sure does know how to avenge others and protect them.
"Well what should I do with them. The maid your fired! Don't even show you face ever again or else I won't show mercy. Now leave!"
"Y-yess..."
"Head maid, as you've took care of me so I'll be forgiving you but you'll have to face the punishment. Guards! Lock her up for ten days!".
"Huhhh ....No!! Your Highness you can't do this to me. You're getting bewitched!!"
Afterwards the guards dragged the head maid outside to lock her up. Huhh serves her right. She's the one who's a wench.
"Hmm Celine and I'll be going back, I need to discuss something with her".
" Huhh I'm no-". Wait a minute. Tsk Allen snapped his fingers and we both teleported into his office."Tsk what do you want Allen!...huhhh Ouch!!". He pinned me against the wall, his hands at my sides. Ahhhh he's to damn close!!
"Hmm so Little Squirrel I've heard you were quite busy today".
"Ahh-ye..yess".
"I see".
"Allen please move back! Your too close".
"Hahh really." I leaned closer to her ears and whispered. "I've finally caught you, I won't let you escape so easily".
Eeepp! He's to close. I pressed my hands against his chest and shoved him back, as he got too close.
"What do you want?". I said with an annoying voice and stared at him angrily.
Ahhh those ocean eyes again. I love it when stares at me like that. It's amusing.
"So why have you been ignoring me?".
"I think you know the reason".
"Hmm, is that all".
"Huhh? Is that all? That's all you have to say!?. How could you do such a cruel thing to me!". I started hitting his chest with anger."Do you even know what you made me go through!! All of this happening to me wasn't enough!! Now your treating me like dirt as well!!".
I didn't know it affected little squirrel this much. I held her hands that were hitting me. Her hands doesn't have any flesh.
"I lost my temper over something so trivial. I know I was in the wrong, so quit being angry".
Huhh he's accepting he was wrong. How is that even possible? I brushed away his hands that were holding mine.
"Alright". But there was something I wanted to say so badly.
"Allen, you're kind. Believe it or not. Stop forcing others to think you're cruel. If you want people to accept you for who you are then learn to accept yourself first. That's all I have to say". I pushed him back and walked towards the door to leave, suddenly Allen grabbed my hand from behind.
"Little Squirrel what games are you playing with me?".
Allen said it with a pitiful voice and face. Almost as if he was yearning something.
"Game? Me? I'm not!".
"The things you just said. They aren't true. Thats just your wishful thinking, I'm not kind".
"Hmm hahaha tsk tsk Allen your really stubborn haha".
Huhh she's laughing. Why even is she laughing, why is she looking so....so beautiful while laughing. Huhh wait Allen Standford don't get swayed away.
"Little Squirrel do you take this as a joke".
"Huh no no not at all".
"Hmm".
"Allen?".
"Yes".
"I'm hungry".
"Then shall we have dinner?".
"Yes please". Hmm I think I'll try to enjoy the time I spend with him. Afterall it'll come to an end one day. But still if I try to manipulate Allen with my words maybe he won't kill me or get angry at me.
"Your Highness the emperor is arriving tomorrow and he wants to meet you as soon as possible".
