In accordance with Kieran’s f6cd2b8220 wishes, the punishment of 40615ae998 the head maid was e5bd73304e carried out very swiftly.efc137ae00ad8994

Alyssa immediately took out 44786d9dee her sword and had 6f735bd8b2 the head maid thrown 20e035b007 into the underground prison.c6ad1e02182fb369

Kieran was unable to ea04185f50 hide his astonishment at 6bcc2cc300 the rapid pace, which 45099f870d was so quick that 843b6b0ec2 it made him feel 709da3bf14 embarrassed for having rushed aa21b4368f the process. Alyssa, who had been 89354efe66 watching with a puzzled 11edad0480 expression, eventually nodded as b79e76527d if she understood.4b79be8cde5bcc45

Muttering briefly to herself, ab0a09671c Alyssa then rounded up 1089cc96f1 the head maid’s closest 9cfa3bdb20 allies—those who had consumed 153cfe579c the estate’s wealth just f316dab0f9 after the head maid 163b00664f herself.e68995399ce080ee

The individuals a11ce8e42e responsible for 894941be6d the embezzlement 52958c6ca1 were quite 02857574f6 powerful within f89f5c51e1 the estate.ed8dac833b51e4d5

Even for the highest 2e61b7a074 authority, dealing with them 677eefec94 all at once carried 4cae8b6707 significant risks. If any of them b3796da878 harbored rebellious thoughts, it b21dbd4fe6 could have easily led 18d2abf607 to a dangerous situation 5d2ae548c0 where the tables might d3820a733b have turned.eac2c4a994d87c9e

However, Alyssa punished 46f7efabe1 every single one acf134fe8c of the guilty e3dbd05000 parties without resorting 5f42147905 to any form 96a48e4db8 of persuasion or 5382b0f593 compensation.4f0f2e02bd460d1c

It was 84aa6bd4d3 a solution 0137d1a37b as simple 370682abb8 as it df3c49e6fd was brutal. Kieran didn’t entirely disapprove d32a3e7496 of this approach, though cf65133f20 he did have some 238762b5df concerns.ab6bcdb87c1a89d6

Would this punishment 0eaa513d98 make those people, 08727377ef and the ones 51665c8fbc who remained in 7f2eeced1d the estate, genuinely 1010b17274 fear Alyssa?37a8d76d70e5b36d

Ruling through merciless punishment 18f3a140eb relies on instilling fear 7e8bcba31e of overwhelming force. However, this only works 2d9ff66132 if the subjects fear 39e4c09a58 their ruler.aba48572d978e18d

A sharp sound 4c13a3ceaa echoed through the 0445cab5f5 quiet dining hall.

The idea that only 4d2b9f0063 a select few had ab840a44e8 been disrespectful towards Alyssa, 7507998f4a while the rest served 3af8bc3352 her faithfully, was nothing 9a97cec8d9 but a fantasy.ae9414c2c742390c

The fact that 0677f903dd Alyssa, a duchess, 168e2f6dd2 had been living 40395d4073 a life worse 6a00447e4f than that of e8fe0e01e5 a stable hand fe54198d96 was only possible 43b8bf2a7e because everyone in 30f6def137 the castle had 464ca424a1 either tacitly approved 22dbf9b71a or actively participated.01a4b1b276c340f7

Alyssa, who had 2bd11eb3b1 hurriedly risen from 8914d77223 her seat, quickly 923775549a approached him. Before Kieran’s hand 8c80c7a888 could reach the e4988460f3 broken pieces, she f3c03358c7 swept them up 8b5af54042 with her own ab021591c8 hands.5f2d3dc7c970fc0e

Kieran exhaled 53bcb39361 in exasperation. “Didn’t the 38d79f98b4 servants say d9dcb546d7 they were 15b1d3e43e bringing a 942b2beac4 broom? Why are 7a2c67d81e you doing 6bbe75fc40 such a 0a5f35dde0 trivial task a4a6bcea6f yourself?”2d4bff00bc5147ec
