I heard someone knocking on my door during my work hours. I knew it cannot be my family since I had already warned them not to enter unless it was an important task.
"Who is it?" I was a little angry that I was disturbed but I felt that it must be an important thing if they act in such a rushed way.
"It's me, Jerald, Can I come in?" A feminine voice was heard from the other side of the door.
"Come in,"
The door slowly opened and a lady of about twenty or thirty entered the room carrying a piece of paper. She was none other than the concubine of Viscount Jerald.
"Anna, haven't I told you not to disturb me during these work hours, what's the big idea?" I was displeased with her behaviour but I could see her panic in her eyes.
"This is not the time Jerald, Look at this paper," She gave me a piece of paper which looked really high quality. I took it and read its content but I felt like my blood was boiling when reading it.
"Is this true? How did this happen? Didn't I tell you to take every action to isolate them?" I questioned Anna which she responded rather quickly.
"I have no idea, I heard a few weeks before they visited her mansion but I didn't think they would seduce such a big shot," Anna was not happy with Jerald blaming her because he also had the responsibility to control things.
*Sigh
"You know I hate that woman, She always gets in my way when I do something that we can earn a profit, If not for my old man I wouldn't have married her,"
"I can't directly do anything to her, if her family knew something happened to her I would lose my face among nobels,"
I was rather upset with this development because if she gets any more power it will be hard for me to control her like this. It will take a long time for her poison to work and I cannot rely on it immediately.
"Send a letter back to Keller firm, tell them we accept this marriage and ask him to come here to meet us, We will arrange his marriage with Hannah, we can't let Elda marry someone powerful like him," I advised about the things to Anna.
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ "After that Woman dies, we will give her to some greedy nobel as a concubine and get some money and influence, Only thing holding back her is Elda so if she dies we don't have to worry about anything," The panic she had already vanished and it was replaced with happiness thinking about her daughter's happy face.
"Keller firm, I heard they got more influence than a normal count in capital if we can get their support it will be easy for us to raise our rank," I thought while looking at the paper and went back to my work.
Elda POV
It's been a few weeks since Davin started treatments on my mother. Her health had become a lot better after his treatment. She was able to walk like normal in no time after getting medicine.
But for some reason, Sister Naomi and Davin have been visiting us even after treatments. I wasn't complaining about it or anything in fact I was happy they came to visit us often.
I became friends with Naomi who was a cool-looking girl outside but inside she was a kind and caring girl. She always took care of us after that day.
I knew my father was up to no good and ready to harm my mother anytime. It made me a little sad to think my own father wants to do such horrible things to us but some outsiders like Sir Davin and Naomi decided to help us even if it was for their benefit.
"Sister Naomi, what do you think about Sir Davin? Are you guys lovers?" I was a little interested in them since they were always together.
She looked at me for a few minutes before speaking something unbelievable,
"You know what Elda, I was a slave a few years ago,"
"..."
I couldn't say anything because I was shocked by her words.
"When I was 10 my parents sold me to slavery and I had a pretty awful life until I met my master, He was actually two years younger than me but he taught me everything from love to hate,"
"You asked whether I love him or not right? The answer is I exist for him, I can't think about a life without him," I couldn't utter a single word to answer her. I kept looking at her before caressing her head.
"I'm sorry sister, I didn't know you had to go through some awful experiences like that,"
We talked about different things until Mel and the mother finished talking with Sir Davin.
I was getting more and more interested in Sir Davin the more I hear about him.
"He is four years younger than me but he is really impressive, I feel like a little girl in front of him," I thought while remembering Naomi's words.
It took a lot of time for them to finish their conversation.
"Mother, isn't it over yet? How long are you guys going to talk?"
"We just finished talking, darling," She answered my question quickly.
Both Naomi and Davin left after talking and discussing with us so I decided to ask the details from mother about what happened.
"Looks like things will get intense from now on, We should get ready too," I had no idea what she was talking about but I nodded my head pretending to understand what she was talking about.
"Looks like that boy isn't going to rest us any sooner," Mel was one to answer Sariya.
"I think he's planning something really crazy, that kid isn't someone to underestimate, if discount did something it will soon turn back to him, let's wait and see how this turns out,"
I felt like I didn't belong in this conversation becuase I didn't understand a single thing they were talking about but I kept kidding my head.
