Inside the bedroom, Mylène's maid, who had just followed everything her young masters said, ran into her mistress's bathroom to report everything she had heard.
She found Mylène lying in the bathtub with her eyes closed whistling a melody deep in her throat as she enjoyed the sweetness of her bath.
When I heard noises at my bathroom door, I frowned and opened my eyes wondering who still dared to disturb me in my moment of pleasure.
It was my servant and I felt particularly annoyed.
«What do you want this time?»
The maid lowered her eyes in front of her mistress's tone but did not budge because she knows that now, she must put herself at her service, body, and soul.
Since waking up this morning, her mistress looks different and she doesn't know why, but this new Mylène has enough charisma and self-confidence to make her give in with a simple look... and she greatly appreciates that.
She saw her mistress standing up alone to her older brothers who hadn't stopped bullying her in past years. Moreover, she had fixed them, especially Karl who had given up the idea of hitting her.
He never bends in front of anyone before.
Moreover, she heard of what happened in the dining room in front of the duke himself and now, she knew that her mistress changed and that would certainly disturb a lot of things... she had to choose her camp and it was already chosen in fact.
«My lady, I have to talk with you. It is very important. I just listened to a discussion between your brothers and I do not think that you should not know the content of it. Your safety is at stake.»
I frowned again, what else could those assholes of Mylène's brothers be up to?
« Come on, I listen to you.»
The servant, therefore, began to tell me everything she heard from Karl and Edward. I remained calm to perfectly assimilate what this girl was saying to me...a smile came to play on my lips as I now understood what was the place of Mylène in this house and what were the real intentions of her "family" towards her.
I got up from my bath deciding that if they wanted to hurt me I would hurt them a hundredfold, I swear on my soul.
My maid came to wrap my chest with a towel and I got out of the tub.
« Fancy.»
The maid jumped, it was the first time her mistress called her by her name even before she changed like that, she had never called her so familiarly.
I looked at this girl intrigued. I don't know if I can trust her but if she came to report such information to me against her masters, then I consider making her an ally in this house.... for a while of course to see if she is trustworthy and after that, she might even be very useful to me.
«What do you think of me? I mean why have you acted so badly in the past?»
Fancy looked down...she didn't know how her mistress was going to take it but she had to tell her maybe it was a way for her to test her. She probably wants to see if she could trust her so even if it meant hurting her a bit, she will be honest.
« Well, my lady... it's because when I arrived in this house as a servant and I was assigned to your service, I received the order to make your life difficult. One said to me that even the duke had nothing to do with you and that... I'm sorry my lady I shouldn't have and...»
«Just continue your story. I did not ask you for an apology.»
Fancy swallowed before continuing.
«They...they said that...you were only an object in this house and that even the duke and the young masters had nothing to do with you...that the only lady of the Hosten was Gabrielle...»
« I see...and you received this order from whom?»
«From the head maid...»
I stayed calm gathering this new information, so the head maid was the one who had passed this order against Mylène… No, it wasn't too simple, even if she is powerful enough, the head maid does not have enough courage to go after a child even abandoned in her master's house. So, she had to follow the orders of this foolish stepmother.
I smiled if they wanted to play, I was going to show them what a person who lived a shitty life and wanted revenge on life could do.
«Fancy, from today you will be my eyes and my ears in this house. Everything you hear, even if it does not concern me, but which can have an impact on this house, come and report it to me.»
« I am at your disposal, my lady.»
« But in order not to draw attention to us, you must continue to be on their side... you see, the others must be able to speak freely even when you are there... they must not suspect anything. Can I trust you on this?»
«Yes my lady, I will tell you everything I hear.»
«In return, you will tell them what I would tell you to tell them, they will certainly want to know what I do especially since I would be quite different from before, so you will be a spy.»
« A what? What is it?»
I sighed, it's true I'm at a time far from mine.
« Someone who works for two enemy sides at the same time.»
«But it's pathetic...»
« No you work for me... but you make them believe that you are with them, do you understand?»
«Ah yes, there I see my lady ... count on me.»
«Well, for now, we will go shopping.»
«Shopping?»
« Yes, I need new furniture, curtains, cushions, rugs, and new clothes.»
«Oh yes, I see.»
«Change your clothes, we'll go in a few minutes.»
Fancy smiled and ran to get ready as I sat down on the couch which made a funny noise under my weight. I had to add it to my shopping list.
I thought about the fact that Fancy told me. She also said that the three idiots were having Frederik De Solsten in the greenhouse and I smiled at evil intentions.
I remember that they had not seen each other for three years, all because of the other three. But I know very well that Frederik seemed to be very interested in Mylène if I believed his way to blush when they were together...could it be that he had a crush on her? I was going to quickly check it.
I decided to change clothes for another dress and when Fancy finished getting dressed, she found me changing clothes.
She came to help me and a few minutes later we were in the hallway towards the greenhouse.
Why should I not have fun by my way?
