The Agitated Heart (1)

(Jane's PoV)

"Insolent!" The maid behind my back shouted in displeasure as they heard me threatening their Queen. The other maids' eyes also turned vigilant as they shot me a warning glare.

I watched as the Queen's expression turned dark, obviously she had never thought before that I would say something like that. Even though provoking them was the last in my list, I wouldn't step back if something really happened to my father. It wouldn't be an empty threat if it did happen; I would make sure to make it happen.

"Child, don't be impulsive." She said dangerously. Her eyes flashed with a murderous intent, ready to take me down in a flash if I did something reckless.

"Try me." I smiled as I looked straight at her eyes, meeting her gaze head on.

Listening to my open provocation, those maids went into battle mode, ready to attack me. However, since I had not seen my father, I wouldn't start this fight.
