Chapter 332: Somewhat Similar Situations
"You seem to care a lot about your maids," Chester commented.
"Yes, of course. They take good care of me after all," Arabella managed to fake a smile.
"I see. No worries, I was merely wondering why she hadn’t greeted us along with the others. Perhaps, she’s new," King Chester managed to smile as well. It was clear he did not want to let Renee’s behavior slide.
"As I have said earlier, my maid is sick. As you can see, her whole body is trembling. She could barely even move. I will punish her myself once she’s feeling better."
[Oh, does she let out her frustrations on her maids? I guess she didn’t become the Dark Emperor’s Empress for nothing. This maid’s behavior - she seems like someone who had experienced getting beat up. She reminds me of Evelyn. She used to brace herself this way before I even hit her.]
"I see. I’ll leave the punishment to you then," King Chester smirked.
’Bastard! Don’t lump me in with the likes of you,’ Arabella barely managed to stop herself from glaring at King Chester. Even when she became a villainess in her past life, she never abused her maids.
"Please excuse us then," Arabella faked another smile and the King and Queen of Zygos did the same.
"Carry her," she instructed while looking at Alwin. It was for show.
Likewise, it had to be Alwin so Renee wouldn’t put up a fight. She was clearly too emotional right now to care about anything else. But maybe, being in Alwin’s arms could distract her.
Alwin quickly obeyed and scooped up Renee. He used a spell to immobilize Renee at the same time to make Arabella’s claim true that Renee couldn’t move.
