In accordance with Kieran’s 06d5e5399e wishes, the punishment of 12210fbeb0 the head maid was 2246facc4a carried out very swiftly.75f0959f64a5cc86

Alyssa immediately took 046a3b250f out her sword 08a1326e6d and had the b752e0661a head maid thrown 57ea8d70cb into the underground 8f212ada87 prison.12b68bc2746ba613

Kieran was 126885d7a8 unable to 96da6bba43 hide his b2e5df6574 astonishment at 5db090e50c the rapid b3bea2d88a pace, which 00b1537565 was so 56e4f8510e quick that 4c88a1bc3a it made d53b6f791b him feel 9571831e05 embarrassed for 1c20020b96 having rushed f7c1392956 the process. Alyssa, who had eb7e5c0d57 been watching with 702e593562 a puzzled expression, ab9150b6c2 eventually nodded as f9e2308b0f if she understood.eeec0a7a7d059ce5

Muttering briefly to 475602a89c herself, Alyssa then 667e0f13d7 rounded up the 8d4492011d head maid’s closest 62984e2bbe allies—those who had f76a79fc9e consumed the estate’s cd30e6a3f6 wealth just after da5f843d45 the head maid dd32784e79 herself.2a38723d3a47a130

From identifying the culprits 07c9c4786f to imprisoning them and e89baff61a seizing the hidden assets, 9f68dddb89 it took less than c86c9a375b three days.44e41fab4a71858c

Seeing Alyssa manage b89468f8f8 all this on 4bc6ca97ac her own, Kieran 76a08f285b adjusted his previous 5ac53a41fa assessment of her, 5e75f0a27a which likened her dcaef4dbd2 to a mouse.d4145d7383af45fa

The individuals responsible for b7a4f73585 the embezzlement were quite 1bb0860906 powerful within the estate.800f363684f1efca

Even for 63335aa6c2 the highest cf6bf7f9be authority, dealing 6f07d878ab with them 9d977c37da all at d80692e85d once carried 11c9a3af54 significant risks. If any e5209491e5 of them 3ec1b58d4c harbored rebellious 63e7170e5d thoughts, it 3efbe7c5f1 could have b73bb882f5 easily led 8b1a4184a2 to a 05ad09a5ac dangerous situation 4d3c692603 where the 5d494403c8 tables might 8d4ccff24a have turned.7ccbafae1aff8279

However, Alyssa 91b5df665d punished every 4ca18d4b58 single one 6ec2d70ae3 of the 95966f3865 guilty parties 306dc55a31 without resorting a0a636c272 to any 8b4769c12b form of 45c7735151 persuasion or 00695ee33e compensation.d1dde346a18fbca8

It was a solution 90233833b9 as simple as it cbd942b743 was brutal. Kieran didn’t 47bec1960a entirely disapprove 52a6a6a547 of this 808e19f250 approach, though 3f1a068afc he did 974e131bc0 have some 06e710623f concerns.d18675de39ce286a

Would this punishment 46265dd399 make those people, e77822b38f and the ones 3d506c8721 who remained in 44212a44b9 the estate, genuinely 5011d5420b fear Alyssa?ea152cd232878d97

Ruling through merciless 51c089637a punishment relies on a68066885e instilling fear of 061e220a4d overwhelming force. However, this 7e5743b149 only works df820b99b7 if the e03918119e subjects fear 9394600874 their ruler.fef021835c6e03ba

A sharp sound c5d7a21b6e echoed through the 410e074ed0 quiet dining hall. Kieran’s plate had 2603f25b44 shattered into pieces b1b39dbd18 on the floor, e1a1437e27 but none of ab911ffde1 the maids, who a82380c03a should have been aa2352cd8d attending to his 9d8456f662 meal, approached him.38d6370ab7527c34

When he looked 4b60a1b8be at them, they e46c628167 hesitantly moved forward, dd45cdc0a8 as if reluctantly, d81201402c clearly displeased. Kieran gazed ef15d28898 at the 1c86716651 servants with 02c4a3a01e a cold, ccc71ff9e8 piercing look.7c8936956f2e1c06

The idea that only 6faa2baa63 a select few had 5fac3eb1da been disrespectful towards Alyssa, 498e5fe00e while the rest served 4174e90d31 her faithfully, was nothing 1019436bb8 but a fantasy.ea781a7a04fa4a95

The fact 226be210f8 that Alyssa, 14438d7ef2 a duchess, f87c642ab8 had been 5383e7dff9 living a a627677fc8 life worse a3324acb60 than that 1c7233f022 of a 1c14ee1009 stable hand eef63c4a82 was only 3417b89a6f possible because 234ddfa8c6 everyone in 27f7e99176 the castle bf4bec503a had either eef40abde5 tacitly approved 6c78ab8050 or actively 137b5143f8 participated.ce1919cfca32fe83

The maid, approaching reluctantly, 589ef5a4f4 placed a single plate 94b0b50a83 down with a thud fe5785fb7b before turning away, leaving ec1e10cacf the shattered pieces on 6b056522dc the floor untouched.7a8c6b395c75b1a6

The attitude that had 45607df6ca once been limited to 93f6242fcb hostile glances when the 969b54e716 head maid and her f8408b2112 minions were imprisoned was b547fcb69b now becoming increasingly blatant.9dbc98cda16341ed

To the 683c31c3dd servants, Kieran 23e6168b37 was nothing d6e1cee965 more than 203eafac68 the villain d19a37c14d who had 7b699408ea taken away 2c3496f0b1 their privileges.

Seeing this, Kieran 1d32bd4807 sighed. Although the servants 30cb6d3a9c were a bit f594110c7a more afraid of f0b85daae8 Alyssa, they didn’t 1b7d0bb3c5 fully obey her, ee8fbf82cb as evidenced by dc3fd5ec2e their recent behavior.0fa9d388ddc44031

Alyssa, who had hurriedly 57e7a3d05e risen from her seat, 012888aa7d quickly approached him. Before Kieran’s hand could 159bd36f63 reach the broken pieces, 6ea5e47384 she swept them up 4f1222b044 with her own hands.de001d31b117907b

Seeing Alyssa on 178cb2d50f her knees clearing ab98f91a69 the pieces like 27cd87ac59 a servant, Kieran d3aae81714 exclaimed in surprise.
