Seeing that Miss Diya was unmoved, she looked down on herself arrogantly.

The maid's heart was beating restlessly, afraid that Diya would use her as a weapon.

She gritted her teeth and suddenly turned around, kneeling in front of Fiennes.

"Young Master Fiennes, I really didn't mean what I said earlier. I'm just a little maid delivering food. Young master Fiennes, will you let me go?"

The maid's eyes were filled with tears. There were a few red marks on her face, which made her look extremely pitiful.

Fiennes saw her kneeling in front of him and immediately frowned.

Previously, when he saw Diya venting her anger on the maid, Fiennes was slightly displeased. However, his sister was used to being willful, so he was too embarrassed to say anything more.

Now that he saw how pitiful this handmaiden was, he could not help but reach out to help her up.

"It's alright. Diya scared you just now, right? I know you didn't mean it. You may leave now."

The man's gentle and comforting words swept past her ears. The handmaiden raised her head, and her tearful eyes instantly lit up.

She looked at Fiennes in disbelief, and her entire person was filled with vigor.

"Thank you, thank you young Master Fiennes, Thank you young master Fiennes!"

As expected, this young master of the Siswell family was still easier to talk to than Miss Diya!

She should not have begged miss Diya earlier…

The poor maid was already overwhelmed with joy. She muttered the same sentence several times, and before Fiennes changed his mind, she immediately picked up the plate and wanted to walk forward in a panic.

However, before she could take two steps forward, she was suddenly tripped by Diya's outstretched leg!

The maid cried out in pain and the metal plate flew out from her hand!

The sound of heavy metal falling echoed in the surroundings. It was extremely ear-piercing.

Seeing the miserable state of the maid who fell to the ground, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Diya's mouth.

"Hey, why are you walking so carelessly?"

Previously, her brother had actually defended this servant girl! He even said that she scared her!

Heh, how did she scare her?!

Now, this light kick, could it be considered a real threat?

The servant girl dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. She looked at Fiennes and Diya pitifully, but in the end, she tried her best to endure it.

"I was too careless."

When the servant girl said this, her eyes that had just dried up instantly became hot again.

But there was nothing she could do. She could only endure it.

The maid bit her lips and gently rubbed her aching heels. Then, she tried to stand up slowly.

At this moment, the heavy copper-red wooden door slowly opened!

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the people waiting outside the door were shocked. They all looked towards the door.

What entered their eyes was a tall figure. The other party was wearing a heavy black uniform. Standing there, he looked like the most outstanding work of a sculptor.

The man's facial features were handsome and neat. His eyebrows did not move, giving off a cold and regal aura.

When Diya saw the figure that appeared outside the door, her heart was filled with surprise. However, when she noticed the man's cold gaze, she instantly felt a wave of fear.

Diya quickly restrained her expression. She put away the mocking smile on her lips. Her expression was as gentle as the spring breeze in March.

"Your Highness, you have finally come out. Diya thought that you did not want to see Diya anymore."

She looked at that eternally cold but incomparably charming face with infatuation.

The maidservant standing at the side immediately lowered her head. She bit the corner of her lips, and a trace of grievance appeared in her eyes.

Seeing Miss Diya like this, she felt that this person was not the same person who had targeted her previously.

The emperor narrowed his eyes. His narrow and long eyes did not look at Diya. Instead, he looked past her and Fiennes towards the little handmaiden who was trembling in fear behind them.

"Are you alright?"

In an instant, Diya and Fiennes could not help but look at the handmaiden in astonishment!

When the handmaiden heard this, she was even more overwhelmed by the favor. She hurriedly stood up in a daze and bowed slightly to the emperor.

"Your Highness, I'm fine."

When the maid spoke, she felt a gaze sharper than an arrow fixed on her.

That was… Miss Diya…

The maid couldn't help but complain in her heart. Who in the God's Palace didn't know that Miss Diya admired His Highness!

Being able to be cared for by His Highness was definitely something worth being happy about. However, if Miss Diya became jealous and hated her, how miserable would that be? Just look at the batch of maids who were sent out earlier!

The handmaiden blinked with tears in their eyes. Faced with Diya's angry gaze, she almost could not stand properly.

Her lips trembled slightly as she added a sentence without any rhyme or reason.

"Your Highness, it was my own carelessness that caused me to fall. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I was clumsy and made Your Highness worry."

The handmaiden did not expect that it was precisely this sentence that made the face of the heiress at the side turn even uglier.

Why did this lowly woman add this sentence?!

Was she slandering her insinuation?!

Diya's beautiful eyes darkened. She snorted coldly in her heart and immediately took a step forward to hug the maid who was trembling.

"Look, you can't even stand properly. Are you in pain from the fall? You should go and see a doctor first."

Diya looked at the maid. The expression on her face was filled with the perfect amount of concern. Her manicured nails were extremely sharp, but they were deep in the maid's arm where no one could see them.

The maid was in so much pain that she almost screamed. However, in this situation, she did not dare to say anything!

That pale face became even paler.

Finally, after a long while, Diya slowly let go of her hand. The sweet smile on Diya's face looked like a devil to the maid.

"Your Highness, I will go see the doctor."

The servant girl's eyes were filled with tears. She bowed to the emperor, Fiennes and the others once again and ran out in a panic.

Seeing the servant girl running away, Diya's beautiful eyes slightly curved, and she sneered in her heart.

She restrained her expression and eagerly walked towards the emperor.

Her face was delicate, showing some unconcealed panic and fear.

"Your Highness, yesterday at Diya's birthday party, why did you suddenly disappear? My brother and I were very worried about you, and we even specially sent people to look for you…"

As she spoke, Diya sniffled, as if she was extremely aggrieved and extremely afraid.

The emperor shifted his gaze away from the maid. He stared at the girl in front of him without blinking, his pitch-black eyes becoming more and more bottomless.

"You asked me why I left? Miss Diya, don't you know what was in the glass of wine you gave me?"

Hearing that, Diya's body trembled as if she did not know anything. Her jade-like face was filled with disbelief!

"Your Highness, are you suspecting me? I am infatuated with Your Highness. How could I plot against Your Highness!"

Fiennes, who had been standing silently by the side, finally spoke up.

"Your Highness, you passed out after drinking that cup of wine. Diya and I didn't think too much about it…"
