“Wait, this letter should be a secret, how did you get your hands on it?” Allura questioned.
A smile then appeared on Edda’s face as she answered,
“I got it from my lover.”
“Hmm? Your lover?” Allura frowned.
“Didn’t I tell you before?”
“Yes, yes, you have already told me that your lover is good in bed but what does it have to do with this?”
“PFfttt!” Edda laughed out loud.
“Lady Allura, though it is indeed true that my lover is good in bed, right now, I am not talking about it.
I am saying that along with being good in bed, My lover is very strong as well.”
“Huh? Strong?”
“Yes, otherwise, do you think I am stupid to leave the Palace even though I know someone is after my life?”
“I do not understand what you are trying to say” Allura shook her head in confusion.
“Marquee Alger, the one who that bitch sent a letter to,”
“Yes, what about him?” Allura questioned.
“That Marquee is my Lover’s subordinate,” Edda revealed.
“What!?”
Allura questioned in surprise.
“Yes, the one who gave the letter to my lover and translated it was the Marquee himself,” Edda informed.
“B-But, isn’t a Marquee… a Marquee?”
“Huh?”
“I mean, a Marquee is a leader of a Marquee’s house, how is he someone else’s subordinate?”
“Heh. There are many nobles who are subordinates of other nobles, Lady Allura.”
Allura then narrowed her eyes and questioned,
“Is your lover a Duke?”
“Huh? Of course not. My lover is a commoner that is not common at all.” Edda replied with a smile.
Heh. The roles are reversed now.
Now, Edda was the one who was seeking entertainment by seeing Allura’s different reactions.
“T-Then why did a Marquee become a subordinate of a commoner?” Allura questioned.
“That, is a secret”
However, Edda placed a finger on her lips and smiled.
Allura pouted and then, another question popped into her mind.
“Wait, if Marquee Alger is a subordinate of your lover, then why did he make a deal with Edrea?”
“Well, it’s a long story, let’s just say that the Marquee wasn’t my lover’s subordinate from the start, it was only because he attacked me that he became my lover’s subordinate.”
“I do not understand what you are saying at all…”
Allura was full of questions now.
Edda just smiled and answered, “You will understand everything soon enough, Lady Allura.”
Allura felt that she would start having a headache if she talked more about Edda’s lover, the Marquee and all that.
It was better to return to the initial topic.
Plus, Edda seemed very chill about Edrea trying to kill her, so Allura didn’t think that she would come out as rude.
“So, what are you planning to do with Edrea?” Allura questioned.
Suddenly, Edda’s smile widened and Allura couldn’t help but feel a little unsettled when she saw that smile.
“Are you going to kill her?” Allura questioned.
“Hmm? Of course not, Lady Allura. I am an elegant lady, not a blood-loving psychopath.” Edda replied and Allura sighed in relief.
“Then what are you going to do?” Allura questioned.
“Heh. I will force her to work more and more and more.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Allura questioned with a frown.
Edda’s smile widened even more and she questioned,
“How do you think I am here in your room, chatting with you so leisurely?”
“How?”
Edda then shook her head and recalled what happened a few minutes ago.
…
“Edrea, I need to talk with Lady Allura about something important, be sure to check with the cleaning department and read and check all their reports.
Remember, the cleaning department messes things up a lot, so you would have to personally go and check every single room and see if it is cleaned or not.
If it is not, then you would have to note that room number. Once you are done, give all those room numbers to the cleaning department so that they can clean the room again.”
Edda walked towards Edrea, who was sitting on her chair comfortably, taking her well-deserved 15 minutes of rest after working for 3 hours consecutively.
“Huh?” Edrea then frowned, however, Edda wasn’t done yet.
“After you are done with this, you will have to go to the kitchen and distribute the food amongst the maids. Do it quickly, we don’t have a lot of time before breakfast.”
“Huh? But isn’t that your duty?” Edrea questioned.
Edda then glared at Edrea and retorted.
“Are you dumb or something? Or are there some unneeded fluids inside those ears of yours? Didn’t I say that I need to talk with lady Allura about something important?”
“…” Edrea gritted her teeth in anger, however, she did not reply.
‘You bitch! What ‘important talks’ are you just going there to ease her curiosity?’
Of course, she can’t say that out loud.
She might be able to say something to Edda, however, there was no way she would have an easy life if she offended Allura.
She could only do whatever Edda was telling her to do.
‘Alright whatever, it will only take 1 hour… if I do it quickly, I might finish everything in 45-50 minutes, then I can rest for 10 minutes.’
However, as if she had read her mind, Edda continued,
“Ah right, I totally forgot, the guards said that there were rats in the south guard post, every other maid is busy so you would have to go and clean it yourself.
Do it after you are done with the things I mentioned before.”
“I would need to go inside the guard post myself?” Edrea questioned in disgust.
“Haahh? What’s with that face? You didn’t look very disgusted when you used to go there at the night, so why now?” Edda retorted and Edrea’s face turned red in anger.
Edda was using her authority to bully Edrea again!
“I will be busy talking with Lady Allura for the next few hours, be sure to do everything I said before I return else, be ready to face the consequences,” Edda ordered in a strict tone.
Edrea lowered her head and then bit her lips before she calmed down and answered,
“Yes,”
