Rosie fisted her palms.
The woman raised her voice.
"How dare a mere butler look at their Master like that?"
"I apologize if I should rude but I'm not the butler of Cason Household. So Lady Isolde isn't my Master. My Master is the Young Master of Arnall Household, Adonis Arnall."
Isolde let out a mocking laugh.
"I'm the Master of your Master. Adonis looks up to me and loves me the most. Wait for yourself to get a good punishment when he knows of this issue."
She saw Lucia coming at that very moment and her aggressive face changed quickly. She smiled and said,"Consider yourself lucky, I'm not that petty Master. I'll forgive you for this time."
Isolde leaned near Rosie's ear and spoke in hushed voice,"I can understand how tempting your Master's bed might be. It's the best shortcut to wealth and power. Especially tempting for someone who doesn't even know who have given birth to them. Who knows which whore left you out and you got lucky enough to be picked up by the previous Butler. Well enjoy, till you can."
Rosie clenched her teeth.
"Oh, dear Lucia, how are you? You seem to have gotten more beautiful than the last time I saw you."
Lucia made a funny face, her expression was in between suprise, nervous and fake happiness.
"A-o-oh, Greetings sister Isolde. You came early?"
Rosie though she had an impeccable control over herself. She was a really patient person, given her job. But Isolde seem to possess a talent of getting on her nerves.
She so wanted to punch that cunning woman till some teeth fall out of her mouth and her face turns purple.
Rosie unclenched her teeth and opened her fist with much willpower.She took deep breath and took the drunk Adonis to his room.
Juno, Mila, Lucia, Rufus were all staring at Isolde as she sat in Adonis's chair in his study.
Juno asked,"You seemed to have came before the stated time?"
Isolde smiled and she slowly looked at the papers on the table.
All four people were on the edge of their seats, the thought of her finding anything related to businesses were making them nervous.
Isolde stopped at the certain paper and scrunched her nose.
Lucia went pale.
"S-sister, how about we go to town? You came after so long. Let's go and h-have some fun."
"Why are they spending so much money on the garden?"
All breathed sigh of relief.
"It's okay if you don't want to go. Rest comes first."
The indifferent Mila spoke,"Adonis likes flowers."
Isolde didn't even raise her head and spoke without even giving it a second thought.
"So what, money should be saved. Why spend so much on maintaining garden and flowers? So what is Adonis likes them?"
They couldn't help scrunching their eyebrows.
Juno controlled the annoyed feeling and said politely,"It's his birthday soon. We should do what makes him happy."
"Just give him a boquet of flowers or such on his birthday. Why do it for such a long time? Waste of so much money just for one person."
Juno's sweet voice turned a bit strong.
"He's the future Master of the Arnall Household remember? It all his money to use for his own comfort."
Isolde looked at her and said with her usual unpleasant smile,"Seems like sister is spoiling him too much. He shouldn't be selfish. As Master he should also think about the people and the household."
Mila let out a mocking laugh.
Isolated looked at her, irritation visible in her eyes.
She squeezed a smiled and asked,"Why are you laughing, Mila?"
"It's just funny how you called him selfish. He's anything but selfish. And it especially doesn't suit that you are the one who's calling him selfish. He would do anything for you."
"I'm just concerned. I'm worried that he'll end up being a bad Master of the House. We should educate him properly."
When Mila was about to speak again, a maid came in to inform them that the dinner was ready.
The dinner was eaten gloomily and everyone returned to their room in bad mood.
Next morning, Adonis woke up clutching his head, a familiar uneasiness taking over him.
"Rosie."
"Why don't you fire that slut who gets you drunk and talk backs to me? Who knows what she'll do once she gets chance?"
Adonis's head felt an additional pain when he recognised the voice but he forgot about the pain as Isolde was much more greater pain in ass.
"Sister Isolde."
"Don't you think that slut should be kicked out for getting you drunk? She must be aiming for your bed. Anymore delays and don't know what she'll do next."
Adonis felt this intense urge from within that either he would disappeare from there or she'd evaporate.
Either way, he didn't want the existence of this person near him.
Not very long ago his sun revolved around his sister Isolde. He was a single child and she had been with him, most of his childhood.
He had never thought of her as cousins, he always thought she was his own sister and followed her every order thinking of it as advice and let himself be controlled.
Because he thought they loved and cared for each other the most. And only she mattered the most in his life.
But he knew that wasn't the case and the feelings, love, care, concern was all for her own convince.
People say you become the wisest when you're on the way to the underworld. And Adonis had already died once.
He can see right through her.
So her presence made him feel stuffy, controlled and caged. And he hated that feeling.
"Please don't slander Rosie like that."
Isolde turned around in shock to look at the puppet she had trained for nineteen years.
"W-what?"
"Rosie is a virtuous and capable woman. She is an exceptional butler. And I drank those drinks myself. Please don't accuse her of things that she didn't do."
"That slut has enchanted you or what? You are taking her side right now? Did you sleep with her?"
Adonis's head ached, he didn't want to see this woman anymore.
"Sister please, don't say such things that might create misunderstandings. If anyone is to hear these talks, it's bad for her reputation."
Isolde laughed evily,"I already said that in her face, as soon as I saw her."
"Then please go and apologize."
"Huh?"
No shock could be shocking enough for Isolde as this one.
They heard a knock on the door at that very moment.
The maid on the door told them that the breakfast was ready.
"Sister can leave for the breakfast table. I'll be there after I get freshed up. Please apologize to Rosie then."
With that Adonis left.
