I'm the King Of Technology

--Madison Estate, Capital City, The entire of Deiferus--

.

Within the very luxurious and colourful room, a young stunning 18-year-old girl looked at the portrait silently while listening to the maids calmly set her meal.

From a distance, everyone might seem like, and many might even think that the maids here loved their jobs, as they smiled while arranging everything neatly on a circular table close to the overly large balcony doors.

If it were summer, they would've set it up at the young lady's terrace outside and have her enjoy her meal alongside her plants on the balcony.

The 2-floor building they were currently in belonged to the young lady's mother, Countess Avery, the 2nd wife of Count Madison.

And as standard, each wife had their own courtyard, which had a 6-foot wall surrounding it, as well as a lovely pond, trees and flowers in them.

Of course, each wife's estate is spread far apart from each other, giving them a little privacy.

Within all noble estates, one would find courtyards arranged in this way.

Some with single floored large buildings, while others with moderately sized 2-floored ones.

And for sure, there was always a cold palace/ abandoned courtyard designed to keep the disfavoured wives.

The weather wasn't suitable for eating outside, so the maids arranged everything within the lady's enormous room.

Everything looked warm and fuzzy, that is until one carefully observed the stiff smiles on the faces of these maids.

Their hands trembled vigorously as they tried not to make eye contact with the lady.

The air was always tense around this famous 'delicate' lady loved by many in the Capital.

The lady kept staring at the portrait playfully before frowning and swiftly turning her head, facing one of the maids close by.

"Did you just look at it?"

The maid's body stood rooted in the spot in fear: "I...I... I..."

The young lady's scorching gaze pierced through her body, making her subconsciously step back in fear.

And coupled with the young lady's deep, stern invoice that showed no vestige of sympathy, the maid was utterly scared to the bone!

Her chest grew tight the more she looked into the young lady's cold eyes.

Her breathing became heavy, with every heartbeat that funded louder and louder.

Why? Why did she have to look?

Her mother had always told her that her curious nature would get her in trouble.

But she always brushed it off.

Now, she had fallen into the lady's pit!

.

The poor maid trembled vigorously as sweat quickly filled her back the more she fought about her lunacy.

On the other hand, the young lady, who still looked expressionless, calmly looked at her from head to toe before moving around her in a circle, as if observing her body figure properly.

"I know your type.

But let me make something clear. I will never allow a b**ch like you to seduce my man!!"

The maid had tears in her eyes when she heard the young lady.

She wasn't thinking about seducing anyone.

She was just curious about the person the young lady had been staring at for the last 3 hours.

Where would she have the courage to seduce the lady's man?

She hadn't even met him in person before, alright?

(:T0T:)

The lady's expression grew grim the more she looked at the maid before her.

"In future, my man will come here often, so I can't have you walking around my estate.

No! I can't have you walking around the Capital city. So don't blame me for being cruel.

Women like you are a threat to me!

Tell me... Wasn't that your plan all along?

Weren't you only here to wait until my man finally notices you in future?

Speak? Why aren't you speaking?"

~Pah!

A loud, crisp sound echoed within the luxurious room, making the other maids tremble and wobble in fear.

The poor maid that had been slapped hard, almost fell to the ground from the force of the slap.

But even though she felt aggrieved and wronged, she dared not show it.

Right now, her mistress was in her Psycho phase.

And any mistakes could lead to her death.

The look in the lady's eyes was similar to that of a ghost hunting someone.

The maid's expression turned bleak when she heard the lady's words.

She just hoped that things wouldn't escalate more.

Sadly, her hopes were all crushed the moment she saw the lady take a dagger and smelly advance towards her again.

No! No! She didn't want to die!

.

"My lady... My lady... Please, calm down.

Killing servants or maids is now forbidden in Deiferus." The maid said while using her hands and her butt to move backwards in fear.

Her lady was crazy!

The young woman sneered and scoffed in disdain when she thought of that stupid rule.

Not only was killing forbidden... but ever since late September, they had to pay their maids and servants, give them a maximum 8-hour shift and so on.

At first, servants worked all through the clock.

And even if they slept, they were still on high alert... Especially those who were personal servants or maids.

Those ones had to sleep on the floors outside their master's or mistress' bedroom chambers, just in case they needed anything kate at night.

They had no free time and were always working or having limited hours of sleep on the clock.

But now, there were regulations in place, with these lowly people even given the rights to complain if need be.

Every bloody thing in this place was now messed up!

Looking at the harlot maid before her, she took deep breaths and finally calmed herself down.

Even though she hated to admit it, the harlot was right.

With the many Baymardian around helping these lowly peasants, killing might not only place her family in trouble, but might also make her plans fail.

Her family's enemies were always waiting for such an opportunity to drag her down.

So she couldn't do anything to this maid for the time being, even if she wanted to.

Dammit!

These rules were truly annoying.
