While Yvonne was studying the map on the table minutely, Raylene and Rutherford were discussing certain matters in the Parlor. "I sent Paula over to the Lower Hall." Raylene muttered as she fixed her sights at her fingers which were interlinked with each other. 'Will he think that I was a bad mistress for doing so?' She fretted as she waited for his reply. However, when Rutherford heard her confession of what she had done, he nodded his head and once again picked up the piece of paper he had been…-

'Was it not enough that I had helped him figure out where the fault lies in those old policies, I even have to help him solve those problems?' Yvonne narrowed her eyes at the man who sat opposite her. Marquess Samed had noticed this hostile behavior of hers and he was confused as to why she was gazing at him with such animosity evident in her eyes. 'What is so aggravated about? This is for the betterment of the Kingdom!' He scowled at the child who was being unreasonable at the moment. If Yvonne…

Marquess Samed took his time as he explained in detail why Captain Desmo was called 'Spawn' by his trainees. His words were similar to what Topher had explained to Damien. He even narrated how his younger nephew, Taylor had suffered under the tutelage of that cruel man. 'Now she must be worried about her wellbeing!' He smirked as he waited for her to begin panicking in the next moment. However, his expectations of what would happen were not fulfilled in the least bit. Yvonne had been silent…

"I am aware of her wishes to begin training and had come to see if she was alright after her first class." Marquess Samed's casual revelation gained a gasp from the Countess. Rutherford wasn't as surprised as he had received the same answer upon his inquiry regarding the Marquess' sudden arrival. Noticing the surprise and confusion on his wife's face, he decided to let her know what Marquess had told him before she had entered the room. "Apparently, Vonna had informed the Marquess about her…

Among the maids, the person at the top of the ladder was none other than Mrs. Jacinth. Not only was she the oldest maid in the mansion she was also the one who was employed longer than the others. This automatically placed her at the highest position in the hierarchy of the maids working in the St. Claire family. One would think that Paula, the Madam's personal maid would hold that position but the answer to that was a big no. Mrs. Jacinth had long been assisting Butler Limo before the arrival…

Paula could only watch the back of the confident woman who was once just as timid as she was. She looked down at the bland dark brown maid's uniform she wore and then at the elegant gown the other woman wore. 'The difference in the birthplace changes one's fate.' She derided her fate for being born to a low-level maid. Since she could not change her birth, her past, she clenched her fists and strengthened her resolve to change her future. 'I will live a better life than this!' She vowed but now…

Paula's eyes glimmered in excitement as she stared at the door that Earl St. Claire had closed after she had entered the room. She had been waiting to enter this sacred space ever since she had come to this mansion following the noblewoman whom she served from the days of her youth. Thinking of the woman, she recalled that she was allowed to enter this forbidden place only to serve her mistress. Suppressing the bitter emotions in her heart, she turned around as her eyes took in the view of the…

Rutherford continued to stare at his wife until she was willing to explain why she had to interrupt such a pleasant environment that was surrounding the happy couple. Raylene gulped feeling cornered and then rubbed her arms over his shoulders in a weak attempt to calm him down. "I only desired to know whether this would affect her." She mentioned her reason for accidentally ruining the romantic air around them. "Ruthy, you know that Paula has always been by my side and she came up with that…

"Who had the thought of getting Vonna the new set of clothes?" Rutherford investigated once he was sure that no one would eavesdrop on their conversation. His study room was a sacred space that not anyone could just simply waltz into. Raylene looked up at the man who had circled her waist as she sat on his lap. The large desk close to the window had a large and elegant chair to match it. On this chair was the St. Claire couple, the husband on the chair with the wife secure on his lap.…

Yvonne's slumber was broken when she felt someone touching her. She jolted awake from her sleep and sat up when she noticed that she was not alone in the room. 'Huh? Who entered my room?' She wondered as she was still in that disoriented state after being disturbed from her nap. The vigilance in her eyes as she stared at the person who had entered her room and even came so close to her vanished when she saw who it was. "Mama?" She groggily whispered while rubbing her eyes. Raylene's frown…
