After the quick tour, the head maid escorted Satyre to her room, and standing by the door, they started having a little chat.“I know this is strange of me to say Lady Satyre but I suggest you refrain from leaving this room until the master returns. You more than anyone should know the gravity of the situation you’re in so it’s best not to do anything that could ruin your chances at success with whatever request you would like to make to the master” The head maid said and Satyre thought about it.She didn’t want to do anything that could hamper her chances with the master of the mansion and as such, if she has to remain in that one room for days then there was no problem“I understand and thank you for the advice,” Satyre said graciously.“It’s my pleasure. I can see that you’re young and though age doesn’t mean competence, I should know that more than anyone else, from the way you carry yourself there still is the apparent greenness you portray” The head maid said and Sartre grimaced
The head maids ears twitched after hearing some parts of what Satyre said."Excuse me lady Satyre but did you just say something about the master?" The head maid asked, having a tone of hostility in her voice.Satyre looked at her "It's nothing, I was just surprised to find out that Pluck Rugald is a child. I don't know why but because of how popular his name is amongst the other potential new rulers of each kingdom, I just assumed that he would be much older" Immediately, the head maid scowled as she looked at Satyre from head to toe through the corner of her eyes before staring at Satyre’s concerned expression."So? Is there a problem with how young the master is?" The head maid asked slightly aggressively.“Don’t take this the wrong way head maid and this is not in any way an attempt to disrespect the master of the mansion but for a second after seeing him, I was concerned about how fit he is to sit as the next ruler of this kingdom during the summit?” Satyre said innocently and th
Satyre placed her hand on her chest, feeling slight discomfort. Her breathing was also heavy.“Don’t worry about anything Lady Satyre, you’ll be fine. You should start feeling normal any second from—“ the head maid said but stopped when she saw Satyre starting to feel alright.“Please forgive what I did to you Lady Satyre, I was just making sure that I can trust you” Pluck said apologetically.“It’s alright, I understand why you did what you did. I also understand that from the way curses works, you also can’t betray my master, or else the curse will backfire on you, correct?” Satire asked.Pluck chuckled “Correct Lady Satyre”Satyre grunted “That means, for you to do something like this then you’re already on board with allying with my Master” she inquired and Pluck smirked, saying nothing concerning the question.Pluck looked at the head maid who still had some things to say and Satyre looked at her as well, wanting to hear more.“Lady Satyre, is it safe to say that throughout the h
"This is Johnny, Queen, Ruby, and Cassandra and everyone this is Lady Satyre, the guest I mentioned before" Pluck introduced his Dallihand starting from the deep-voiced guy with bug muscles to the soft-speaking lady to the nonchalant emo-looking guy and finally the second female Dallihand who hasn't spoken a word since.All four of them raised a hand to greet Satyre when Pluck called their name and Satyre greeted them back."Queen, you guys will be—" Pluck said but Johnny cut him off."There's no need explaining to us what we have to do Master Pluck ‘cause we already heard it while coming here," Johnny said with a huge grin on his face."So Lady Satyre, when will the other Dallihand be arriving? Are they already in the mansion or are they somewhere else and have to be called first?" Queen asked, staring intently at Satyre.Ruby yawned "I hope it's not today 'cause I don't want to burn through the food we just ate this quickly—" he said but was cut off by Johnny who slapped his back a
Pluck clapped his hands while laughing enthusiastically “This is going to be fun!” he said.Johnny punched his fist into his palm “I doubt that Master Pluck. How fun can a two seconds test be?” He said while glaring at Satyre“That’s right, this is only going to take two seconds and you’ll learn not to run your mouth any way you want, especially when in the presence of someone like me” Johnny threatened.Satyre looked back at him and chuckled, making the vein on his forehead throb in anger.Because of the rank of Dallihand that they hold, all four of them have been respected all their lives so for Satyre to be acting like they weren’t that important, rubs Johnny the wrong way.“Alright then, shall we move over to the testing ground? But before we do, would you like us to allow you to go get anything you would need from your possessions, lady Satyre?” Pluck asked.Satyre looked at all four of her opponents then she shrugged “There’s no need for any of that. I’m prepared enough as is bu
"Looks like Johnny was right all along, the test would be over in two seconds" Pluck said as he clapped energetically.He was having a lot of fun."That was an amazing first test lady Satyre but for next time's sake, can you not be so fast so that I can keep up? I couldn’t even see what happened until Johnny went flying" Pluck said."Sure thing. Since you've given me your time I might as well make this more interesting for you. However, it's up to your Dallihand to hold out long enough" Satyre said and Pluck smiled.“So, are we doing this or what?” Satyre asked and both Queen and Ruby looked at each other before turning to her and frowning.The two of them stepped forward, leaving Cassandra behind with Pluck.Cassandra would step away to go wake up Johnny while Pluck watched the fight that was about to take place with all his focus.As they surrounded Satyre, Queen and Ruby revealed their weapon which was strapped beside their belt buckles. They brought it out, ready to teach Satyre a
"What's it going to be Cass? All three of us already lost so it's basically decided at this point? You still want to have a go?" Queen asked and they all looked at Cassandra to know what her answer was going to be. Satyre from where she was standing listened to the discussion they were having. She wanted to know if she should remain standing there and waiting for a test that might or might not take place or regroup with them so that they can leave. Cassandra took a good look at Satyre, thinking about the feats and skills she's showcased the last few minutes and there was only one answer she could come up with. "Win or lose, there's no shame in trying," Cassandra said and the others didn't react negatively to her answer. They more or less expected her to be curious enough to want to challenge Satyre as well. If each of them has a defining personality then Cassandra's would be curiosity. "That's what I like to hear!" Johnny said laughing as he pats Cassandra's back "Go get revenge o
While Satyre was perplexed and fixated on how could she have possibly ended up losing the test, the others aside from Cassandra were all shocked that she won.“After winning the first two rounds I couldn’t predict what hand she was going to make again. I lost five times in a row but how? I’m Satyre, I never lose” Satyre mumbled, looking at her hand and contemplating what happened.She ran the whole thing again and again in her head but it didn’t make sense. Anytime she would predict what hand Cassandra was going to make it always ended up being wrong.Suddenly, Johnny started to laugh before hugging Cassandra and raising her body a couple of feet then dropping her down.“That’s our Cass for you, always doing the unpredictable and somehow you managed to do what none of us three could. You beat the white monster” Johnny said.Queen who was observing Satyre break down mentally from having lost so badly, grunted.“Is this your first time losing something Lady Satyre?” Queen asked, pulling
