12 Choke Others To Death

"Or what?" The cold voice forced the maid to raise her head only to see Meredith standing there with a predatory look in her eyes. There was no chill in the air, yet one could feel danger coming through.

The maid cleared her throat.

"Your highness did not like it if anyone plucked flowers from the garden. I only stopped the child because he was moving brazenly." She replied in a righteous tone when Mary walked closer with her hands folded in front of her chest.

"Is that so?" she tilted her head and asked in a soft voice when the maid nodded again with more confidence this time. Why was she afraid? This woman was just a fake and was going to be kicked out too.

"Then let's go and confirm it."

"...."

"Honey, will you come with me so that we can confirm if you are allowed to come here or not?" the child blinked. His father! He did not have one. He never had one.

But when he looked at her gentle smile and soft gaze, he still nodded and held her hands as she led him inside. The maid finally returned to her senses and frowned further.

"Ha! Do you think you can go anytime and disturb his highness in his work just because you want to?" she berated Mary with a scoff.

"Yes!"

"..." 'That woman is too brazen with no shame!' The maid gritted her teeth and followed Mary.

"That could not be! Your highness would be infuriated." she commented but Mary only shrugged.

"We will see that soon." She kept walking towards the chamber of Cassian without any hesitation but the same could not be said for the maid. Even if the woman would be scolded, she would be dragged into the matter too.

"You must stop, I am telling you."

"Make me!" The cold eyes of Mary shut the maid as the knights stared at the woman standing in front of the office again.

"I want to meet him." she commanded with a tone of authority when the knights sighed. She really was something!

The knight nodded and stepped in and soon the door was opened for her.

Cassian stared at her with impatience when his brows furrowed as a maid followed her in.

"Hey, i know that you are busy but did i not tell you to not give that look to the child you insolent brat?"

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone's face ashened when the nib in the hands of Cassian broke that instant and his face turned darker.

"I mean, you should be polite when you are receiving guests." She cleared her throat. She used to fawn on his cold and hard looks in the novel but not now as she was on the receiving end.

"Why are you here?" The voice came through gritted teeth when she shook her head with a sigh as if an elder was giving up on a stubborn child.

"Your maid told us that we are not allowed to enter the garden. And this filthy and uncouth child would soon be thrown out of the palace. Can you tell me how plucking a flower would ruin the whole garden?" she exaggerated it with the look on her face as if she was in shock.

The woman changes colors faster than the chameleon!

Cassian gave him a look and then looked at the maid who flinched and fell to her knees instantly.

"Your highness.. I was only..."

"Throw her out of the palace without a letter of recommendation." he said coldly as he looked at the knights standing at the door.

"But.. buut..!" not only the maid was stunned but the other staff too when the knights held the arms of the crying woman brutally and dragged her out of the room.

Getting no recommendation letter would mean that the maid would not be able to work anywhere else. She would be shunned by noble society and her future would be ruined.

It was not the first time that a maid was fired but dismissing a maid because of a woman! Everyone stared at Mary with fear and shock in their eyes.

"Anything else?" asked Cassian with a tilt of his head when Mary nodded her head without any hesitation even when she knew that it was a way to ask her to leave.

"It is almost dinner time. I am hoping that you will have dinner with your child." his face turned cold and just when he opened his mouth to berate her, she added, "i have a few forecasts for you. We can discuss it too." he paused and with a long face, he nodded his head.

Happy with the outcome, Mary held the hand of the child and walked out of the room.

"See, I have told you. He is your father and he wants to spend time with you." she assured the child who was still not sure. The man only looked scary and his eyes were cold. Though he was a child, he had seen many cold eyes and knew them too well.

But for some reason, the man listened to her. She was the most successful.

"So, when you meet him later, tell him that you are happy to meet him. Okay?" so that she could get her reward early and leave before the story changed and she could not act like an oracle anymore.

The boy was reluctant yet he nodded his head.

"Alright, mother. I will do what you say."
