Chapter 14 - Chapter 14. A conflict to save Maria

Sofia witnesses Maria got slapped by Daria.

As she sees that when she's on her way to the gallery room for her next housework chores,

Sofia immediately goes towards them.

Then Sofia says, "Ms.Daria ,what makes this young woman deserves a hard slap like that."

Daria replies ,"Its none of your business, you just continue do your chores."

Sofia says ,"Indeed that's true ,actually it's not my business ,but in this mansion, this kind of matter becomes my business and becomes everyone's business in this mansion ,because according to the rules of the maids in this mansion that we shall not do violence towards each other, especially for a headmaid like you ,Ms.Daria."

Daria replies ,"What did you just say to me? , how dare you rejected my order ,giving me a lecture ,rebel towards the headmaid and impolite towards your own senior!!"

Sofia says ,"No ,you are mistaken ,I'm not rebelling towards you ,Ms.Daria ,I have no intention to do so as well ,I'm just says towards you politely about the rules of the maids in the mansion and what you did was against the rules. You should be a good example for the other maids, especially as a headmaid."

Daria says ,"It is up to me ,I am the headmaid ,I have the rights to do so. I have a higher status than you ,so don't you dare accuse me that I'm against the rules!! And don't order me what to do, remember your status!!"

Sofia repiles ,"Well ,if I got to be honest, Ms.Daria sorry of my impoliteness, that kind of thinking of yours is foolish, Ms.Daria."

Daria says ,"What did you just said towards me!!!!! , foolish!! so you called me a fool!!"

Sofia says ,"Yes ,it is foolish to think that just because you have the higher status ,you could do anything."

Then ,Maria stops lowering her head and looks at Sofia.

Sofia then continue speaks ,"The true kind of thinking is that when you already achieved a higher status ,so its mean you have much more responsibility and you should be responsible for it. You should appreciate your juniors like Ms.Varvara did."

Maria, then surprised of what Sofia said.

Daria says ,"Don't used her name for your reply against me."

Sofia ,then asks ,"Why I can't used her name?" I used her name as an inspiration for you to change ,so you could a good headmaid like her."

Daria replies ,"It is impolite to say a dead person's name just like that."

Sofia says ,"Impolite ,oh my apologizes and that reminds me that Ms.Varvara wasn't dead because of an accident ,it is weird for an accident to happen at the maze garden ,like Sir.Igor said ,there's a mysterious person whose wears a red mask ,that person stabbed Ms.Varvara and that caused her tragic death."

Daria asks ,"What?!"

Sofia says ,"Her death was yesterday ,so I ask you why I can't use her name as an inspiration for you ,because she's a good ,wise and a responsible headmaid. Every maids like her and that's good. Or maybe you don't want me to use her name ,because you hate and jealous with her for her high status and so you murdered her with a sword and wearing a red mask and a red suit to close your identity ,so you could steal her role as a headmaid for a higher status ,did you?"

Daria ,then surprised of what she said towards her and immediately replies ,"How insolent you are ,I'm not the one who murdered her ,I never murdered anyone in my entire life ,I'm not a murderer ,how dare you accused me for murder!!"

Sofia says ,"That could be true right?"

Maria nodded.

Daria sees Maria nodded towards Sofia's accusation.

Daria says ,"You too accused me ,how dare you ,insolent woman!!"

Then ,she pulls Maria and slaps Maria again even harder ,until she falls to the floor.

Sofia ,then smiles and says ,"You're so afraid to admit your doing ,so you prevent it by denying it and slaps her again. You are really an evil woman without principle."

Daria gone mad and says ,"What?!!"

Sofia ,then says ,"You know ,you had broke three rules of the maids ,you said bad words towards your junior ,you did violence towards your junior and you are very irresponsible. That's why as you don't know ,everyone hates you."

Daria says ,"That's enough!!"

Then ,Sofia smiles wider and says ,"And that's why you aren't fit to be a headmaid ,you're just a childish woman who wants a higher status."

Then ,Daria gone really mad and says ,"You!!"

She goes towards Sofia and wants to slap her.

As Daria's hand almost slapped her ,Sofia holds her arm.

Daria ,then says ,"Get off me!! ,release my arm!!"

Sofia grips her arm that she holds very hard.

Daria ,then feels a big pain and says towards herself ,"Her grip is so strong ,what kind of woman is she ,her strength is not like an ordinary woman."

Then ,Sofia sees that Ms.Victoria is coming towards them.

So ,then she let go her arm and let Daria slapped her ,so Daria got accused wrong by Ms.Victoria.

After ,Daria slapped Sofia ,"Ms.Victoria says ,"What is happening here?"

Daria ,then surprised

Ms.Victoria then says ,"Ms.Daria ,why you slapped her? ,you know the rules. You shall not do violence towards each other."

Daria ,then says ,"But.. ,but.."

Ms.Victoria says ,"No ,but ,Ms.Daria ,as a headmaid you should be a patient and a wise woman and also become an inspiration towards all the maids. And stop screaming ,Ms.Daria ,your voice were heard all over the floors. A maid should be polite and elegant ,keep your voice low."

Daria ,then nodded and says ,"Alright ,Ms.Daria ,my apologizes ,I will keep my voice lower and tries a good headmaid like Ms.Varvara."

Ms.Victoria ,then says ,"Don't just apologizes to me ,apologize to them as well , because you slapped them both."

Then ,Daria bows and apologizes towards them ,but her face is still mad.

Then ,Ms.Victoria says ,"Don't let this incident happen again ,I'll also look around and watches you, so my question could be answered which is ,'Are you fit to be the new headmaid?' If this happens again ,I'll report you towards Lord Nicolas ,Lady Anastasia ,Sir Igor and even Master Gregory. And there's a possibility that you will get fired. So ,behave yourself and act like what a headmaid should have acted ,understood?"

Daria ,then lower her head and said ,"Understood ,Ms.Victoria."

Then ,Sofia and Maria lower their head and says ,"Thank you ,Ms.Victoria"

Then ,Ms.Victoria nodded and leaves.

Then ,Daria looks at Sofia with her mad expression at her face and says ,"What is your name?"

Sofia stares at her sharply and says ,"Behave yourself well at first as a headmaid ,then I'll tell you my name. I don't want to tell my name ,because my name isn't worthy to be called by a childish and an arrogant foolish woman like you."

Then ,Daria leaves them both with her mad feeling she keeps inside her evil heart.

Sofia knew that Daria isn't the one who murdered Ms.Varvara ,because she is a fool and small-minded.

The one who murdered Ms.Varvara is intelligent. She just used that as an accusation towards her ,so Daria shows up her weakness.
