Akio bowed a sign that the command had been received and was ready to go. Yuki left the room and walked down a very long hall to the dining room, many maids and other staff saw Yuki pass by and they were no longer indifferent but respected Yuki she answers with a smile and keep going. She entered the Dining Room both Clara and her son looked in Yuki's direction staring at her as if she will devour Yuki, didn't even respond she just walked towards the seat, and took a glance in Clara's direction Yuki smirked.

One very clear thing, Clara continued to stare at Yuki while smiling evilly. Soon the food was brought, there was no celebration and not even a special day, but the table was full of food. And Duke Reinhart just saw, soon he sat at his seat then the lunch started and, fortunately, Mother didn't come so there will be no exchange plate.

Sound of utensils hitting the plate, everybody has started their eat and Yuki still sat down calmly and didn't touch The food, Duke Reinhart put his utensils then he grabs a napkin to clean his mouth, he started at Yuki he said " Why don't you eat your food? ". She looked up at Duke Reinhart then she tilt her head she said " Ohh since when do you care? "Yuki's answer make Duke Reinhart stunned then he continue to eat his food. Yuki closed her eyes for a second then she start to hold the utensils as she know Clara took glancing at her Yuki chuckled then took a bite of the meat and then she left the room.

It's been 13 minutes since Yuki left the dining room, she also felt something was wrong, why there are no signs of poisoning on her body. Keep walking then she stopped suddenly looking in her mom's room direction " Don't tell me?! " Before she can continue her walk Akio knelt in front of her with his head down, and with trembling hands, he reported to Yuki that Madam has been poisoned. Yuki didn't answer instead she keeps walking to Madam's room.

Many people's voices could be heard far into the hall, instead of running Yuki just walked calmly with an emotionless face, and looked around the room, scattered food fell from the table Yuki approached the leftovers on the floor and then called Akio to take some for the sample. without the need for investigation from the Yuki knight, he was very familiar with this, none other than Clara. Yuki sat down calmly looking at her mother being treated by the doctor. Sebastian come to Yuki closer he patted Yuki's head and then said " We gonna make them pay ". Suddenly Mary ran towards Yuki she hugged her, trying her best to convince Yuki that Madam will be okay, Marry carried Yuki to her room cause it was inappropriate for children to see.

" My Lady please trust the doctor and me, we will save Madam so please My Lady stays here okay? " Mary knelt and hold Yuki's hands while smiling bitterly. Yuki slapped Mary's hand she walked and sat down on the couch staring at Mary. " I'm tired keep faking like this " Yuki took a deep breath and then she mumbled.

" My Lady? "

" Nah it's okay Mary you can go "

Seeing Yuki without emotion, Mary knew that Yuki was angry, but Mary's choice was to leave Yuki so she could calm down a little, she smiled at Yuki before leaving the room. Yuki sigh then she call Éxi members through telepathy, soon they arrived Jackson and Xie Yun were present. Looking at Yuki's Face both of them knew what was going on but didn't dare to say anything, they just knelt with her head down. Yuki took a deep breath then she stood up she walks closer to them.

" It's not me who got poisoned, so I hope you can help me " Yuki bowed low in front of her vassal, they stood up then hugged her, promising to help her by saving Madam, they went and carry out the order. Yuki slides down and cried hard until the sun has fallen asleep.

Sound of the door being opened, Yuki wiped her tears she got up and see Sebastian, Eva and Uta have come for her. " Your Majesty it's okay we saved Madam, an antidote that Akio gave is very effective she's sleeping now " Sebastian patted Yuki on her head.

" Yes Your Majesty," Uta said with a bright smile on her pretty face.

" So let's make them pay? " Eva come with her brave words.

Looking at their face makes Yuki feel so relieved, she stood up and invited them to sit down on the couch, she walked to the table and opened the drawer put in a few papers and gave that to them. Same reaction as Victor Zoldyck was Yuki accepted that as they received the order, they looked at each other and nodded.

" We will take this Order, " Sebastian said with his face full of courage

" Thank you so much for all your help until now " Yuki bowed a second and gave them trust smile.

" We succeed Mr Jolla I gave the poison to his 1st wife's food, and now the Duchy become very chaos " Clara called through the Magic Tools

" Good, and keep going for the next 3 days " the voice of the old man in the magic tool called out

" Yes Mr Jolla " Clara answered and then the magic tools shut down.

Clara walked towards her bed then threw herself on the bed and burst out laughing.

" Finally I will be the only wife of the Reinhart House " Immediately heard someone open the door to Clara's room, she immediately got up and snapped.

" Who's there?! "

" La-lady Clara it's me " A young Maid entered the room to bring her evening Snack. Realized that the Maid calling Clara with Lady, she frowned and yelled at the Maid

" From now on you have to call me Madam " Without being able to argue because she was afraid, the maid answered with a nod then left the room, she rushed and bumped into Akio who was walking. She fell and Akio reached his hand to help her, he asked what happened and why her face looked so pale.

" No-no I am fine " She bowed she left Akio.

The time shows 9 p.m., but Yuki didn't come to dinner, Akio was in Yuki's room before dinner time.

" Yes My Lady I saw her maid rush from Clara's room "

" It's there something, go check out that maid " Yuki gave the order to Akio soon she realized something

" Yes My Lady, I'm carrying the order "

As soon as Akio left the room, Yuki grabbed her robe and change into her adult body, she sneaked out into Zoldyck's house before she can come to the hallway the Knights whose guard at the gate stopped her. She took off the hood and smile " Tell Victor that Yuki has come "

" Stop you can't come, weird person! " They blocked Yuki with his weapon, Yuki just sighed and shouted " Victor you asshole! Let me in or you will regret it! "

" Please go away young lady " The guards try to drag Yuki away.

At other times...

" You are an asshole Victor " Yuki sat down while leaning back her head up and looking at the ceiling.

" I am sorry for this occasion okay "

" Nevermind it happened anyway " She crossed her leg and took a sip of the tea he served. Yuki also explained that today's situation was not good, Madam Reinhart fainted from poison, and none other than the culprit's second wife, Yuki said the mission would continue in three days. Surprised by Yuki's words, Victor was also sorry for Madam Reinhart and thankfully she was able to survive even though he was still in a coma.

" I will contact you tomorrow " Victor gave Yuki the paper about the Hotel and the business contract, she starring at the paper and then look at Victor's face she sighed in relief and smiled and then sign the contract. Yuki returns to the Duchy bringing good news to her people.
