After Clara's incident, everything returned to the way it was. I thought I wasn't being punished until I told Arthur about the job cleaning the fifth floor.I thought I would get out of that job, but Arthur said my punishment was that I would now have to clean the fifth floor alone. Arthur especially emphasized that he did not want to see a single speck of dust.I cried inside but didn't dare to refute it. Anyway, I know I just made a mistake. Surely, after some time, Arthur will forget about Clara and pardon me for this challenging cleaning situation.I wondered where Clara was being kept but didn't dare to ask. I had to wait for Dylan to return to ask him. He's the only person I can chat with in this place.Today, I was cleaning when Arthur asked me to go to the library on the second floor to get him some books. I've always wanted to enter this library, but I can't; only the owners or a few people with special rights can enter this place. Servants who enter here without permission f
I don't know why Arthur took away his library card, but I don't want to care anymore. I already know too many secrets in this place; I should reduce my existence as little as possible to avoid being discovered.I did not return to my room but went to the antique gallery to work. I told Arthur that I was busy and that it would make him suspicious if I returned to my room.I took the towel and wiped the glass cabinets, but my mind was busy thinking about other things, so I kept wiping without moving the position.Until the sudden sound of the door opening made me so startled that I dropped the towel in my hand, the sound of the door opening wasn't scary, because inside I was wary and guilty, I overreacted like that.The person who just opened the door was Arthur. His face was so dark and cold it was scary. He walked towards me.My heart hangs in mid-air. My mind paused; my lips moved before I could greet him when my throat was blocked by his large hand.Arthur clasped his hands. My slen
After I returned from my business trip, Lucinda suddenly asked me to grant her a wish.With great difficulty, I saw her bow her head and beg me. I suddenly got the idea to tease her. I knew she cared most about her freedom, so I took that out to anger her.She was furious.A lowly servant suddenly burst into my dining room and shouted at Lucinda. DThis unauthorized appearance made me uncomfortable; more than that, her crying was very annoying.That's a stupid and evil girl. Lucinda helped her, but she thought Lucinda was sabotaging her. So funny!I'm not too fond of this type of servant the most. Greed and selfishness are evident in her personality. She wanted to approach me to seduce me because she wanted to become rich and powerful. I have encountered these cases so many times that they are not rare.For these people, I will kill them immediately because I don't want them to keep dancing in front of me. My killing intent was already rising, but when I saw Lucinda's eyes, I suddenly
Jasmine and Daisy are twin sisters, close servants of Melissa. They were so identical that I couldn't tell them apart just by looking at them. Only when they talked did I realize.The person who tripped me was one of those two people. That person was standing in the crowd, looking at me with sarcastic eyes and a mocking smile.Melissa is the party's host, so she has to come out and solve this problem. She ordered Daisy to take the girl whose dress was dirty and change into another dress. Then she called Jade to give me twenty lashes.Her flatterers praised Melissa's decisive approach. They don't care how a servant like me will be punished.Of course, Jade wouldn't hit me at the party. She pulled me to a hidden corner away from the party, making sure not to affect the party's atmosphere before making her move.There were a few young girls who were interested in my punishment. They wanted to see how the servants of the Douglas Palace were taught, so they didn't hesitate to follow along
Jade tied me up and took me out of the party to be punished. This time, she did not allow the guests to come along. Those girls were dissatisfied but did not dare to continue following Jade.To blame those girls for silently watching, Jade took me to another place. This time, she didn't tie me to the tree but let me sit on the ground.I knew that even if I ran, I couldn't escape, so I obediently sat on the ground to take the beating. I thought that just having to endure this beating would be the end, but no!A moment later, Daisy and Jasmine rushed over to me and Jade. They gave Jade an ax.At this point, I had been beaten more than thirty times, so I had no strength left. I stared blankly at the ax blade, flashing a cold light in front of my face."No, no, no! Please don't cut off my hand. I don't steal!" I used all my strength to scream, but my voice was as weak as a sick cat.They smiled mockingly and did not bother to answer me.Daisy held me back. Jasmine stretched my arm.I pani
I recuperated for three months and then completely recovered. When I returned to work, the time passed into the new year.Jane is promoted to mid-level servant. She wanted to learn how to cook, so she begged Arthur to let her work as a kitchen assistant to learn from the chefs.All of the kitchens at the Douglas Palace are highly skilled, equal to the chefs at five-star restaurants, so it was a great honor for Jane to follow them and learn.She told me she wanted to open a restaurant after leaving Douglas Palace, which was her childhood dream.I completely support her, but I'm also worried that her dream won't come true because no one can leave this place. I swore that if I had the power, I would help her escape from here and fulfill her dream.After returning to work, my relationship with Arthur became stiff and strange. I didn't dare show any emotions before him; I was obedient and obedient. Arthur is still cold; sometimes, he's bored, so he tries to annoy me, but I don't react, and
Arthur's purpose in bringing me to the prison to see Clara was to warn me not to run away on a business trip with him. He predicted that I wouldn't stand still; I would try to run away, so he used Clara to threaten me.If I were obedient, after the trip, he would carry out my request to let Clara die peacefully. If, during the journey, I cause trouble or run away, Clara will be tortured more severely, and I will become the next person to be tortured like her.Arthur successfully broke my spirit of wanting to run away. I no longer feel excited about this trip.In the evening, Jade brought me ten new outfits, simple but trendy and sophisticated. Jade's expression was unhappy; Arthur forced her to prepare things for me, but she didn't want to do this.Before leaving, she passed on Ms. Melissa's words to me. Those are warnings full of anger and disgust. Melissa was worried that Arthur and I would develop unique feelings on this trip.Without Melissa reminding me, I didn't dare have that c
After Charlotte finished greeting everyone, she took everyone to a room on the second floor.This room is more spacious than the living room; in the middle of the room is a circular podium. The chairs are arranged around the podium. Everyone's names are on the chairs. The wealthiest and most powerful people will sit closer to the podium, and those with lower status will sit further away from the podium. However, you can see the auction items on the clothes no matter where you sit.Arthur sat in the front row, and I sat next to him. Before we got here, Smith's people asked Arthur if he had a chaperone so they could arrange the chairs. Each seat is about an arm's length apart.I sat on Arthur's right hand. I was surprised that Charlotte was sitting next to his left. After we sat down, she also took her seat.Charlotte leaned slightly towards Arthur. Before the auction started, Charlotte started a conversation with Arthur.She looked at Arthur with sparkling eyes and gentle words. In eve
