Former Assassin 12
Former Assassin - Arc 1 Early Life - Chapter 12
Rosemary didn’t confess even until the end.
Thus, I sentenced the maid to flogging and ordered the butler to carry it out. I also threatened the butler not to cut corners and make sure that the maid was punished severely.
However, I didn’t fire the maid.
After the maid was made a scapegoat by Rosemary, I doubt that she’ll follow her anymore.
“Look at you, your back is covered in cuts. Will you still be able to get married?”
The maid shrank at my words.
Honestly, an injury of this level won’t be noticeable even if it leaves a scar, hence it doesn’t necessarily mean that her prospect of marriage is in shambles.
The maid, who’d never been hurt, probably wouldn’t understand.
“Poor you! All of this happened because you believed in Rosemary and followed her!”
“—!”
I whispered in her ear like the Devil.
“If only Rosemary was truthful, then you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
“Huh…?”
The maid stared at me in shock.
“—After all, you’re only a maid. You can’t just go against your Master’s daughter. As a result, you were taken advantage of. If Rosemary had admitted to the truth, at worst, your pay would be cut for a few months. Yet, Rosemary denied any involvement and put all the blame on you.”
The maid’s expression was marred with anger.
Humans are simple.
As for you, my foolish Rosemary…
If you aren’t careful when using others, you’ll only make more enemies.
The maid’s name was Marin. I decided to appoint her as my personal maid.
When I left the room, the servants glared at me with disdain. Some even whispered to themselves.
Back when I was still an assassin, I often infiltrated the houses of aristocrats while disguising myself as a servant. Based on my experience, I could say that the servants of this household lacked discipline.
Well, that’s only to be expected, considering Amaryllis is the one in charge.
After that incident, my notoriety began to spread in social circles.
According to the rumors, I was a ruthless girl who took advantage of my position to torment the weak.
An arrogant and selfish Young Lady.
I don’t care at all.
