Marie is so afraid. She only dare to act like she is a young miss of the king's family because of her uncle as a head butler. Madam king like her very much and favor her since she was a child like a daughter. The couple don't have a daughter so they spoiled her and sent her to private schools. The commotion attracted the other maid servants and men servants.in the mansion so plenty of them gathered in the courtyard like watching a play.
"Daisy bring Oliver inside and clean him up. After half an hour bring him to the ballroom hall." Fifth instructed her so she hold Oliver's little hand, dropped down to his level and said "lets go inside to clean you up young master. We need to clean and bandage your scratch too so it doesn't get infection."
"Okay" Oliver replied to her in a very soft voice as he was still afraid towards Marie, they turned around and left.
"If no one of you will tell me what exactly happened, all of you will be punish and then I will fire you right away after punishment." Fifth said in more colder voice than before.
"I will count to 3 if no one will speak then be prepare all of you will receive a heavy punishment. You just hope you can endure to keep your lives but then for me to fire you right away for those who survive" Fifth added.
Those maid and men servants who gathered looked at each other. If they will survive the punishment and keep their life then when they will get fire they will never get a job like in king mansion. Although they were only servants but they only have a specific job which is not difficult at all. The salary is 5 times than the other rich families in country A plus all the benefits and bonuses.
"1..2.." they pointed at Marie all at once and didn't hesitate. They were bullied by Marie as well before so in this way they will get the revenge they deserve.
"I..I didn't know. Please.." Marie didn't got a chance to finish what she want to say.
Pak! A resounding slapped landed on her face and a deep scratch visible on her face. What she didn't know that Fifth extended one claw in his finger in not obvious way as the humans still have no idea of their existence.
"Ah! It hurts!" Marie shouted in pain. Fifth grabbed Marie's hair and dragged her along with him but then he stopped. He look at Diego and said "gather all the people on this mansion to the ballroom room right now!" He ordered Diego and he turned around and left dragging Marie and she was pitifully and unmerciful way dragged by her hair.
Diego can only follow his master order even though his heart ached for his niece but what can he do, it was Marie's fault on the first place. It was his fault too for spoiling her so much that she developed an attitude and acted like she is the young miss of the kings and who looked down those beneath her status.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Diego gathered everyone in the ballroom hall and almost 500 heads. It includes the open body guards, secret bodyguards, the elite shadow bodyguards, servants, drivers, chefs, laundry personnel, gardener and etc.
Fifth abruptly pushed Marie in the corner. She is trembling from head to toe. This is the first time she see Fifth like this.
He sit on one of the seat that belongs to him on the stage like a king. He is waiting for his brothers to arrive.
The first one who arrive is Fourth. As soon as he enter the hall, Marie is crawling towards him. " Brother Fourth please help me. I really didn't know and I didn't mean it. Please consider our relationship." Marie kneeling in front of Fourth and her hand hanging on his sleeve. In all the brothers she's closest to Fourth. The rest will just nod at her when they meet here in the mansion or outside. But Fourth is different, he will stop and talk to her.
Fourth furrowed his eyebrows of seeing her with her dishevelled appearance. Her make up smudged at her face. Her eye mascara run down and she look like a panda. Her face swelling and a big and deep scratch visible on her face. Her tears and snot mixed together. He thought what did she do to offend Fifth at this extend.
Fourth is about to ask Fifth about Marie's matter when he was interrupted. "What's going on brother?" Second asked as soon as he stepped inside the hall, followed by the others. They proceeds to their designated place and they never glance at Marie not ever once.
"Yes I want to know too brother. What did she do to make you in rage right now" Fourth asked again but still standing as he can't move as Marie hugging his legs right now. She moves from clutching his sleeve to hugging his leg.
"Alright I will tell you how that disgusting woman acted atrocious! Fifth stand up, pointed and glared at Marie.
He then narrated to everyone of what happened that ended with Oliver gotten hurt.
Fourth really furious of what he heard so he kicked Marie without mercy. "Dreadful woman! As expected each brothers wants to kill Marie but before they can tear her apart they heard a voice.
"Masters please I'd like to plea for my niece. It's my fault for spoiling her too much" the head butler said it kneeling in front of everyone. "She is my only blood relative left and before my brother took his last breath he let me promised to take care of Marie. So I am begging you masters to let her off at this once. I know she will not do it again." The butler still kneeling, head bowed and forehead on the floor.
"Tsk..tsk..tsk! Diego I pity you! This bitch doesn't deserve your care and love." First said while looking at Marie with disgust.
"Do you know why I didn't like her? Second interrupted. Once I witnessed her with her boyfriend outside kissing and flirting. You went out and called her to get inside as it was late at night. The guy asked her to who are you with her? Do you know what she answered?" *** "Ah that was our butler, probably my parents asked him to get me."***
"Ohhhhh ha ha ha pretentious ended! And I have witnessed as well that she cursed and called you bad names when you don't give what she wants. In front of her friends she acted like the kings are her family not you Diego. Your niece is a social climber and bullied the servants here" Seventh said with a disdain in his eyes looking at Marie.
"Uncle please help me, please remember what you promised to daddy." Marie's crying so hard now. She doesn't want to die. Her only hope is her uncle.
"I am very sorry please forgive me! I will not do it again!" She kneel and the bowed with her forehead on the hard floor to the brothers. She turn around to her uncle and said "I am very sorry uncle please forgive me of all my bad actions"
What Diego can do? She is her only niece and besides her father asked him to take good care of her.
"Alright you both stand up." Fifth said. "We made a decision in consider of you Diego for serving us with loyalty and giving impeccable services as always we will forgive her but she will be stripped with all the benefits given by my mother. She will be working as a servant here with all her life. If ever she make mistake again even a single one I will kill her right away! Do you both understand?"
"Yes and thank you masters!" They both bowed again.
Then a knock in the door can be heard. The guard open it and Daisy came in with Oliver.
"Come here Oliver" Third called for Oliver to come over to him and then he put him in his lap. He inspected his scratched and then worriedly said to Oliver "you better go over to your uncle Seventh to look at your face" in very gentle voice.
All the servants and the rest were speechless and their jaw almost dropped on the floor. They never knew their third master can be gentle as well. They can't believe it with their own eyes, they were so shocked indeed!
So Oliver walk towards Seventh. "Uncle please look at my face please" Oliver said it in gentle and pleasant voice and his heart soften. Seventh inspected his face and said it's ok little guy not serious but I will give you an ointment later on so it doesn't scar. Oliver smiled only and said "thank you uncle Seven."
First stand up and called for Oliver to stand with him on the stage. He put Oliver in front of him and hold him on his shoulder.
"I am going to introduce to you the young master of the king's, his name is Oliver! I want you all to respect and obey his orders. Take care of him!"
The servants and the rest said "yes masters!" They clapped their hands.
