The Royal Deal

se a better person to ask.”

“I apologize.”

For some reason, Dajal backed off.
Then he spat on the floor and barked, “I’ll end it here for today.
Everyone back to your stations!”

“Yes.”

Dajal disappeared and the maids left the scene.
Some maids supported Hebe, Jane, and Carin and returned with them.

“Are you okay?” Amethyst asked Roman.

“Yes.
I’m fine.”

“I wonder why he backed off.
I thought I was going to get hit….” It was bizarre how Dajal spared her.

“Carol… I think you should be careful.”

“…?”

“I think he has targeted… Carol as the next one.” Roman blurted out.

“What do you… oh my?!”

So just now that meant I was marked out.

“As much as possible try not to be alone with him.” She cautioned her mistress

“But I have to clean Dajal’s quarters.”

“Precisely… that’s why I worry.
Always be on your guard.
And if anything happens… run immediately.”

“Yes… I will be careful.
By the way, I have always been curious.
Why doesn’t Dajal fire you instead of harassing you so much? If I were him, I would fire those that opposed me.
How do you get past it?”

“Well….To them, I’m the best example.
To show what happens if you go against him.
So he won’t fire me.
And I know that other places are not much different.
And nowhere pays as high as the prince’s mansion.”

“I see….”

Other noble households are not much different?

I wonder why the unfairness of the world is the same wherever you go.
I wonder if this is the unspoken rule of life.

Similar patterns in societies, the unchanging history made Amethyst sick.

“I think it’s best if you go back and rest for today.
You don’t look too well.” Roman suggested.

“I’m sure Dajal will look for me…”

“He won’t look for you today.
After causing a scene like this he will quieten down for some time.” She reassured.

“Really?” Amethyst was a tad unsure.

“Yes.”

“Then… I will go back for today.”

Only after returning to her bedroom, did Amethyst feel the tension loosen away.
Then, she felt herself gag.
The screaming of the maids rang in her ear.
The sight of them being whipped was a traumatic experience in itself.

For how long had these things happened and remained unsaid… For how long?

She was overcome by shock and fear.
She curled up under the sheets.

Today, she didn’t feel like running into Alexcent.
She hated him for not knowing anything, not caring, and not doing anything.
She hated him for even keeping Dajal by his side.

Quickly, as quickly as possible I need to find the proof.
Then I need to chase him out of this place.

But what if… Alec doesn’t take my side because I’m only temporarily the Lady of the House? What if he corners me and tells me to know my place…

At the thought of such a possibility, the thought of his face pissed her off.
She closed her eyes to fall asleep quickly before the man got back to the mansion.
