The little girl with blonde hair, deep ocean blue eyes, and a very determined mind of a 30 year old, was standing behind a wall as she eavesdropped on a servant, who was bad mouthing the Duke's daughter, "Miss Vouitton". Apparently the person Cora reincarnated as was a small child called "Eclair", and they were talking about how much of a weakling the child was.
*what the fuck do you expect from an 8 year old!?*
walked to a person who she assumed was the servant since the clothes were that of one, and asked for food in the most demanding kid-voice ever.
"oh?" the servant turned around and saw a little girl in a night gown, "Miss! you're awake!" then she faked a worried face. *gosh, I rate her acting -100/10* the young Miss thought as she stared down at the amateur. "ahhhh!" the young one sighed as she said in a dilly-dally way, "I almost forgot, I was born a "noble's" daughter, but why won't this lowly servant bow down?" she asked her self in a skeptical voice.
*Hah, this maid already looks like she's been slapped, but we've just started* the evil smile overlapping her child-like face was truly scary.
The maid stood there dumbfounded, "I'll give you 10 seconds before I make you bow, so be smart". The peasant stood there in skepticism, as if calling out her bluff. "10...9...8..." the young lady counted down, as each second passed, the servant grew more and more nervous, but her pride was that of more value than an 8 year olds demands.
"3...2...1...", right across her face, the commoner was slapped, she looked up, stunned then in rage. "I told you to be smart, but I guess you just don't listen, do you?" the little girl was smirking at the red-cheeked woman standing in front of her, "HOW DARE YOU-" just as the maid was about to make physical contact with the child, the young Miss spoke up "woman, you really are an idiot, aren't you? think of this, if you harm me, then the Duke, my father, will punish you! so if you don't want to lose your job, stand down", the words of the young Miss seemed to hold back the maid's hand. The maid quickly stormed off in a different direction, while Eclair stood there, bathing in victory's warmth. Two words to sum it up, RETRIBUTION. BITCH.
And she knew that others were listening in on their little chat, this also served as a warning that she wasn't someone to mess with, so she killed two birds with one stone that day.
Fast forwarded two weeks from the stand off. There have certainly been quite a few rumours about the Miss's change, she's been very interested in her history lessons, and she has much improved in her etiquette.
Many personal maids have said that a merchant's soul must've wandered into Lady Eclair's body while she was fainted. But the truth was, Eclair was a business woman who was currently figuring out how long the Dukedom's money last her, as the currency here was worth so much in her world.
