“What do you imply, my woman?”
Mimosa replied as if she was displeased.
“Oh, are you continue to feigning ignorance?”
Elisha put her hand to her mouth. She couldn’t discover the look of terror on her face that she had the night time earlier than.
“I may inform simply by taking a look at it. First, Mimosa got here final night time to ship her cast letter, as ordered by Carola. In different phrases, faux love letters pretending to be written by somebody with the ridiculous title of Chris Elot Pian.”
“… … .”
“As I’ve heard, your handwriting forgery abilities are spectacular, Mimosa. It appeared just like the handwriting of an aristocratic man.”
“Then why did you act such as you didn’t know final night time?”
“Oh, if you’d like, I’ll go and inform my husband proper now.”
Mimosa’s face turned white.
In her previous life, Elisha needed to be severely bullied not solely by Carola but in addition by Mimosa, and Pansy, who had been Carola’s two shut aides.
It was pure for the enforcement of legal guidelines to be harsh for these of decrease standing. Moreover, Carola was proficient at fostering competitors and dividing the subordinates below her.
Elisha may smile at Mimosa now. However she acutely remembered the sharp ache her fists gave her. She had been brutally crushed appreciable occasions by Mimosa.
“You have to be conversant in my husband’s disposition. He’s a person with nice delight. What would have occurred in the event you had handed over a love letter in entrance of my husband’s eyes and been caught on the spot?”
“… … .”
“On the very least… … . he would have torn you aside. You’d be lifeless, you already know.”
“Heek, hiccup… … .”
Mimosa trembled. She had labored for the Cartier household for a very long time, so in fact, she can be afraid of Lucerne. Everybody was effectively conscious of his mood.
“Congratulations. I saved your life as soon as. So, isn’t it a celebration?”
Elisha mentioned with all her coronary heart.
“What the hell do you need to say? Are you making an attempt to threaten me?”
“Is there any must threaten a poor particular person such as you?”
“… … I urge your pardon?”
“By the way in which, you, hiding right here, proper now…..It should have been Carola’s order, proper? She would have ordered you to exit and observe how Lucerne is doing,”
Elisha concluded very quietly, like a wave.
“Carola even used her ‘names’ hand. However Lucerne didn’t waver in any respect. Now, who will Carola’s anger flip towards? If I needed to guess, she would blame the one that wrote that love letter.”
Mimosa’s coronary heart thumped.
“How pitiful. You’re in a extremely dangerous state of affairs, aren’t you, Mimosa? Pansy, the opposite lady-in-waiting of hers, is even engaged to a knight whose profession path is stable. As all the time, you’re the just one taking over the troublesome and onerous duties. In every single place there’ll all the time be individuals who find yourself doing the soiled work.”
“… … .”
Mimosa’s hand quivered.
Elisha knew this second effectively. Subordinates had their delight too. This was very true for these from decrease the Aristocracy, equivalent to Mimosa.
It was really easy for her to crush that tiny delight of hers. She simply wanted to face a actuality she wished to disregard and didn’t need to imagine in.
“Consider carefully. Which facet must you take? I’m from a fallen noble household, so I don’t have a noble maid I can belief. If I had a lady-in-waiting, it wouldn’t be troublesome for me to rearrange a place for her with nice knights. With me there’s would just one lady-in-waiting to be rewarded. The handmaids who do hair or make tea are completely different from the maids who’re near their grasp, aren’t they?”
Elisha spoke softly. Mimosa’s eyes rolled and searched the ground with a rush of ideas. She tried onerous to cover her curiosity.
“I’m additionally a girl with delight. I can’t serve simply anybody as my grasp. I’ll report this to Carola-nim.”
“Um, I don’t assume you’ll. Carola would begin to suspect and doubt you simply since you and I had this dialog. Would you do one thing silly like that?”
“… … .”
“Mimosa, you already know the cafe frequent. Come to me whenever you’ve made up your thoughts,”
mentioned Elisha.
Mimosa hesitated and left rapidly with out even bidding goodbye as if fleeing. Elisha wished to click on her tongue in disdain.
‘Actually, so predictable and silly.’
Mimosa and Pansy had been the daughters of a lifelong knight. However, sadly, they had been each solely daughters.
Not like different positions, a lifelong-knighted knight was a place and title that will disappear except a son was born. So, with a view to keep their fragile standing, they had been frantic about marrying a person on the stage of a completely titled knight or greater.
Even households with modest energy vastly differed from commoner households and households of lifelong knights. These in comparatively decrease positions had been extra determined to keep up them. So, Pansy and Mimosa’s marriages had been tied to the rise and fall of the household.
‘Carola all the time favored Pansy amongst her ladies-in-waiting.’
It was as a result of Pansy was extra stunning, docile, and complacent. Moreover, a ravishing handmaid was a priceless reward she may give to her loyal topics. So Carola selected a helpful servant amongst Jacob’s knights and had him get engaged to Pansy.
However Mimosa was out of luck. She was comparatively unattractive. Apart from, she had priceless abilities like the power to mimic handwriting and was quick-witted sufficient to be referred to as a small Carola.
‘So would Carola belief her? She’s a girl that dealt with her soiled work, so she’ll be purged sometime.’
Irrespective of how sick she felt. Though she was mentally agitated, she needed to do what she needed to do.
That was the approach to life Elisha had realized from her earlier life. And as Lucerne’s spouse, her job was to wash up his adversaries.

“What did you say to Carola’s maid earlier?”
Within the carriage heading residence, Lucerne was silent. He stored glancing and being attentive to Elisha however didn’t look significantly reproving.
‘My earlier life… … It’s so completely different. Is Lucerne now extra type? Perhaps it’s as a result of he’s earlier than he modifies?’
That made sense to her. She heard that the Cartier household’s inner strife intensified sooner or later, and Lucerne grew to become extra ferocious.
‘Or is it as a result of I’m not an unpleasant girl?’
It wasn’t straightforward for individuals to be type to these weaker than themselves. Lucerne, from her earlier life, was so livid together with her for mentioning these names. However that didn’t occur to her with out her burn scars. Elisha abruptly felt her previous wounds stabbing her chest.
She stared at him blankly, her eyes empty.
“Reply me, Elisha,”
Lucerne ordered as if he was an grownup speaking to a baby. Elisha replied with a query as an alternative.
“What if I had been a extremely ugly girl?”
“Why ought to I think about that?”
“When you reply me, I’ll reply you too.”
Lucerne frowned.
“If I had been an unpleasant girl, you’ll be offended at my slightest mistake, and you’ll be very ashamed of me being your spouse, proper?”
