Chapter 107: A Tumultuous Turn of Events
"Madam, what will be today’s schedule?" the maid asked.
"Schedule? Has Mother informed anyone?" I inquired.
"No, the mistress has not informed anyone about this. She left in a hurry, so she didn’t even get the chance to inform," the maid explained.
"Oh, but what should I do?" I pondered.
"Madam, others are waiting for your order," she reminded me, trying to bring me to my senses.
"I’m coming!" I replied and followed her outside, finding everyone gathered in the main hall, awaiting my instructions.
"I have no idea how the mansion used to operate, and I don’t have the time to deal with this. So, I’m going to assign tasks as I see fit for the mansion," I announced.
"First of all, have the maids divide their work into a few sections to finish it more efficiently. Some will go to the laundry section, while others will work in the kitchen, and the rest will focus on thorough cleaning, both inside and outside. Understand?" I directed.
"Yes, Duchess!" they nodded and dispersed to their respective duties.
"Now, I’ve heard that we’re short on guards and messengers, so the other male workers who used to maintain the mansion’s exterior will take on these roles for now. Some will inquire at the local market about supplies, while others will be responsible for guarding various areas of the mansion. Is that clear?" I further instructed.
"Yes, Duchess!" they affirmed, showing their readiness.
"Duchess, breakfast is already prepared," the maid informed me.
