Scarlet pov.
It has been two days since the incident. I looked at the seven people standing in front of me.
"You have wasted my two days. Do you have any idea how much loss the whole empire has experienced due to this?" I asked as I looked at the culprits of this incident.
"My lady, I beg you for mercy. We were just serving the new lord of the estate. We did not know that he had planned your death or any other trap set for the empire. We were just doing our work dutifully.'' Both maids said who was serving him.
"I never knew that serving the new lord includes badmouthing your mistress and accepting another mistress in just a day. Or being loyal refers to mixing something in my food." I asked and they shook their heads.
