In accordance with Kieran’s 3bf048a6d4 wishes, the punishment of e09ee3171e the head maid was f07f6ab60b carried out very swiftly.b2882e765230807b

Kieran was b70f7b3d16 unable to 35b74b91bc hide his 7fe85d1aa4 astonishment at cb4e068428 the rapid 262790d861 pace, which a53eebfd99 was so e2b3800feb quick that 606852a7e6 it made 34fbf2f4c5 him feel c9bb3d6db7 embarrassed for 72f49aaae3 having rushed c8ffc29f33 the process.

Muttering briefly to herself, 42e9aa9a28 Alyssa then rounded up e6a0368ac8 the head maid’s closest 9e0c68cabe allies—those who had consumed 809f9e4539 the estate’s wealth just 3f3f02a32d after the head maid 9c9c7daec1 herself.669bded8b6f42087

From identifying the culprits e5240003a6 to imprisoning them and 134f4d5920 seizing the hidden assets, d744459eac it took less than 175408a23f three days.16658f0f3e3a4d5b

Seeing Alyssa manage all 1ed407e8c7 this on her own, 4040ad5b19 Kieran adjusted his previous c4f4d10cee assessment of her, which 5386cee829 likened her to a f330cf6c25 mouse.21d47e60b7ac6837

The individuals 83ae83d8b7 responsible for a967b4964d the embezzlement c806860021 were quite 423cf21732 powerful within 45c027f1f0 the estate.eb6ed58dfa49ae7b

Even for the fde01ba376 highest authority, dealing 6e6b9ccec3 with them all a1594f8073 at once carried 5909d0b2f9 significant risks. If any of f6f93ccf27 them harbored rebellious dba0750eff thoughts, it could a4a2adb837 have easily led 67df098aaa to a dangerous 6594879e0e situation where the 1bcbac1716 tables might have 6345bde492 turned.92cd7777dbe0aaf8

However, Alyssa 90bb957a26 punished every 1137859b2c single one d1b52400e9 of the 4af09abd85 guilty parties 8118815dcd without resorting f655f628ed to any 5bb8c4fe0e form of 3af6273cb2 persuasion or 1046288d77 compensation.4c4c845caf99d84a

It was 18d494379a a solution 7fef2e8146 as simple 4b8cac7c42 as it e80fab9c95 was brutal. Kieran didn’t entirely disapprove 5c5f0c7250 of this approach, though a28aeac9f5 he did have some 2d44d8c564 concerns.ffdb6c14fcc75351

A sharp sound echoed 636ea6f96e through the quiet dining 7d562c38dd hall. Kieran’s plate 6f60771fdf had shattered 652a2da09f into pieces 45dc9dcfe5 on the 4baed4dfdc floor, but 7dfc48ef4f none of ca2eb82ec2 the maids, 63d2de49a2 who should 7919934180 have been 5764e43a29 attending to 93a2b78f55 his meal, 4e5fd78a55 approached him.4b8a0274c85b2883

When he looked 60550a6568 at them, they 8d9bf45881 hesitantly moved forward, 4b7a181bf9 as if reluctantly, 8b6482ab35 clearly displeased. Kieran gazed at the c45abc62b8 servants with a cold, 32326d53aa piercing look.e58db381f5ff78a1

The idea 93dbd8ea45 that only d0ad03ba5e a select 76c15e3e31 few had d2b54f7f27 been disrespectful 66243ec25a towards Alyssa, 9c1c49bec0 while the 8a3902691d rest served 9e1fd591c6 her faithfully, e6bd613037 was nothing 625df54bb6 but a 230555b99b fantasy.64bc9215a376fddc

The fact that 42ea2c4696 Alyssa, a duchess, 0177a9bc94 had been living b6207ca4b1 a life worse 4e49b038d4 than that of c8a23b40c5 a stable hand f38904217a was only possible 8f572b4eb0 because everyone in f3ff0bbe12 the castle had 402dff8384 either tacitly approved 77ee4a52d4 or actively participated.baaa503446c6257f

Servants expressing 72017e575f their dissatisfaction 909f1d2701 by refusing fa4ec02af3 to serve 988e55da24 their master 16d2731807 properly—such behavior 3cf3387ad0 was unthinkable.059e0792ce4097b7
