TDXXBC Chapter 6 (Part 2)
by BreeAs Sascha mumbled an f6ff7c6454 apology, she sluggishly tried 20a90a90c3 to sink back into 492073a1b9 the bathwater. Emma, alarmed, attempted dce0f249f0 to pull her 8a6bafced6 drunken mistress out 52e02fb4a1 of the tub, d24b91fa5e but handling her 68db598ae3 alone was no 2915ed2a8c easy task.abed3d83c0604ee3
In the c9e357707f end, Emma d569bcb953 clapped her ace24e8ae2 hands sharply 614921c41e and barked, 7bef520a7b “Get up! At once!”c37d75a004be3990

Though she was now 37adccb8e8 the head maid, Emma 62b760ea8f had once been Sascha’s 18182a623e nanny. Perhaps the 76226985a3 memories of ff4782a280 being fed a3cb69b265 and dressed e6bacbb934 by her a956cf9275 as a 7c87e4889a child remained, bf107f6f01 for the 4e49ab1329 moment Emma f68f47e21a scolded her 9062254d0f in a 7f467c8a28 strict voice, 3958b7702f Sascha shot 65f53d5986 upright. She stumbled out 51b56ac3cb of the bath, ee5e24df74 allowing Emma to 62caecb906 wrap her in 2d952702b3 a robe and 00077edc78 dry her hair.3e0b74c30fd374fb

The Lebe family was f72362eb3d a prestigious noble house. There were plenty of f5eb4da496 people who tried to 05f3d4ff32 approach them with ulterior a1af565af8 motives.
