Chapter 65 Chapter 65) Making him angry.
Kate and Lisa arrived in the room where they ought to live as workers of the mansion. They were lucky enough to have an entire room all to themselves.
And surrounding their room were other rooms which were occupied by maidservants like themselves, and the rooms weren't a part of the mansion, as it was located a few walks away from the mansion.
There, the shocking truth was told to them by Daniella. They would not be able to leave the mansion at their own free will except if they were fired from working in the mansion.
Additionally, each maidservant was given a short break from the mansion, barge by barge. And it was only 6 days off from work in the whole year. 3 days off from work in six months, and another 3 days off from work in the remaining 6 months.
That was how it had always been after the daring incident which happened back in the days, where the reckless going out and coming in of the mansion by the maidservants invited countless assassins who disguised themselves as maidservants, seeking to kill the previous Lycan King when he least expected it.
However, both Kate and Lisa were allowed to leave the mansion for a day, since they had just started working.
But after that, they would have no choice but to follow the rules and regulations that were there to guide them.
‘Damnit. This almost ruined my plan. What if I got stuck in the mansion for six months? Then what about my cell phone? It's going to absorb all the dust in the world while waiting for me to return!’.
Kate thought to herself and was grateful that she would be able to leave the mansion today, since today was the first day of her work, and was the only day such a grace was given to her and every other worker who began their work today.
A worker like Lisa, who was standing beside her and was preoccupied wearing her uniform.
She didn't even seem bothered that she would not be able to leave the mansion at will, making Kate wonder if she had known of that beforehand.
Well, she brushed the thoughts out of her head and focused on herself.
After putting on her uniform and making sure that she looked presentable, she and Lisa left the room together, about to begin their first work in the mansion.
‘Ha. I really hope that this plan of mine is not going to take longer than I had expected it to be’. Kate let out a sigh as she thought about this.
She hoped to be promoted as soon as possible, so that she would be able to meet the Lycan King.
By the way, there was a flaw she had not thought about until now.
What the heck did the Lycan King exactly look like? What was his appearance?
Was he an ugly looking man with beastly cold eyes and thick eyebrows?
Tsk. There was only one way to find out about it.
….
“Can't I leave immediately? I don't think any of these are necessary”. Priscilla said with a frown, as she never stopped staring at the table with disgust.
The dining table, to be precise.
“Don't think about leaving the pack without eating something”. He said to her with darkened eyes and was not ready to cut her some slack even though she had told him countless times that she did not have the appetite to eat anything.
‘What is his deal? Why must he find a way to torment me or Demira whenever he gets the chance?’. She thought, and was starting to have faint lines on her forehead because of frowning too much.
She suddenly said, without thinking, “Was this how you treated my elder sister? Always forcing her to do what she never wanted to do?”.
Those words slipped out of her mouth, and she ended up shocking herself.
As for Alejandro, he paused after hearing what she said to him.
Being reminded of Tessie caused the veins in his entire body to pop out as he tried to contain his anger.
He rose from the dining chair, taking Priscilla aback, because she actually thought that he wanted to hurt her for what she had said to him.
Luckily, her imagination did not come to pass.
“You don't want to eat? Then fine. You might as well starve yourself to death, but death won't be able to keep me away from you, Priscilla!”.
Hearing his warning did not make her flinch, but after he called her name in that manner, it made her flinch, and her neck tightened after she swallowed the invisible lump in her throat which felt so heavy and hurtful.
As Alejandro left the dining room, he gave his order, “Take the food away! And don't you dare serve her any food without my permission! Anyone who dares to disobey my order had better kill themselves before I get them!”.
The maidservants sighed in defeat in their minds. ‘What again now? Every day was not chaotic like this when it was Tessie who was in the mansion with them’. This was the thought going on in their minds, as beads of concerned sweat formed on their faces, neck and vice versa.
They stared in the direction of the dining room and all they had for Priscilla was pity, because they knew that as long as she was with the Lycan King, every day was going to be a heartbreak for her.
Was that something she could endure?
At some point, they began to believe that, just like Tessie, she was going to escape. After all, hasn't she attempted that before? So, it was not impossible for her to attempt it again.
They stopped thinking to themselves and quickly went into the dining room to take away the food that the chef had prepared carefully.
How sad the chef was going to be, thinking that his food tasted awful, since it was barely touched and eaten by the ones he had specially prepared them for.
Priscilla watched the maidservants take the food away, but her attention was not focused on them but was focused on something else. ‘Why didn't he say anything about when we were going to go to the Joaken pack?’.
‘Don’t tell me that he has changed his mind?’. Her eyes widened, and she slammed her fists on the table, shocking everyone.
“He can't change his mind. I must confront him”. She said and went after him to stop him, leaving the maidservants speechless, as they did not understand the kind of courage she had. Was it even courage?
If they might say, she was being reckless and not courageous.
