Just as predicted, the capital guards arrived as a crying Yaya immediately rushed towards them.
"H-help!! Th-the.. It.. the House Manager.... tried to kill me... I just... please... sob.. sob..." Yaya cried and stuttered while she made sure to make the 'house manager' part clear while making sure her acting was on point.
As for Isla, it was surprising she also went with the flow and cried together with her.
'An oscar awardee.' Yaya thought inwardly.
The capital guards immediately rushed inside and saw a dead body and broken down furnitures with blood stains all over the place.
Checking the dead body, the guards recognized it as the head manager. Seeing the amateur cut on the nape and a stab on the stomach, the immediately investigated the whole building.
Yaya fixed all the things according to her plan. She destroyed quite a few wodden furnitures and scattered her own blood and the old man's all over the place. She had to cut herself with a knife to make it believable. She even shattered the poison bottle and stabbed the poison needles all over her room. While the old man died from puncturing his vital points, Yaya had to stab him on his stomach which was shallow and stabbed weakly on his nape thrice, to make it look like she struggled to kill the man. Of course, she striked a couple of times to hide the fact that she and his life with a needle.
All in all, she did not move anything other the mentioned parts as the pile of resources and banishment of the servants made it look like the House manager planned to kill the third miss then rob her of her belongings.
The plan was clean and eventually, the guards had no other choice but to conclude everything according to Yaya's plan.
Meanwhile, Isla decided to explain the situation that Yaya made her memorize.
Another surprise, Isla'a acting made so believable that the guards couldn't help but feel pity towards the wounded Miss and servant.
Since the crime was 'clearly' instigated by the old man, the guards immediately sent two men to report back as the ones left started to clean the scene.
Meanwhile, Yaya and Isla started to clean themselves on a nearby river while smiling quietly.

Two days passed and the news immediately circulated throughout the capital.
The House Manager tried to kill and rob the crippled third miss.
Quite a news that immediately got even more famous because of Yaya's infamy. As soon as the news arrived at Yaya's clan, an envoy was sent to check on Yaya's health.
The two days was peaceful for the Miss and servant duo as those two days were nothin but relaxation days.
The broken furnitures were replaced as the body of the old man was burnt to ashes. An emvoy also checked on Yaya and Isla wounds as the doctors discovered a tinge of poison inside Yaya's body, that further strengthened the proof of the murder scene.
Even so, an investigation was held as the old man was quite a loyal servant of the clan. But after hearing from the banished servants that they were fired by the old man for no reason, the crime was closed as the old man became the culprit at the end.
Meanwhile, Yaya was finally able to eat a good meal after days of famine.
The clan on the capital felt a bit of pity for her and decided to give her stocks for food and other resources.
Of course, Yaya knew that those things were only stuffs they do in order to improve their reputation.
Sneering at how her clan took advantage of her infamy and news, Yaya could only smile since she eventually received goods stuffs at the end.
