New nanny

The image of the trembling head maid was worth watching. Was Renata feeling guilty that the maid would be punished and so as others? No!

She was relieved that she did not need to endure their sarcastic comments and no one would starve her now. Other maids would hear about her punishment and learn their lesson and then they would not dare to treat her badly.

She was fine as long as she was served good food and given a bath. She needed all these facilities for a few more years anyways.

She would continue to collect the rare gems from her palace and then find a good chance and run away. She was not going to wait here for her demise in this life.

"My lady. Please explain to his majesty that he is having a misunderstanding. You know that I did it to hurt you, right?" She ran towards Renata and held her hands as she pressed her arms tightly. She knew that Renata would cower and then repeat whatever she would say, she had that kind of authority over her.

She had trained Renata for 2 years to follow her command. Renata looked at the woman with pity in her eyes that surprised the head maid.

If it would have been Renata from the past, then she would have trembled and repeated the words like a pobedit but that coward girl was gone. And the Renata standing in front of her was strong enough to put up a fight , at least, a mental one.

"Owww! That is hurting." she sobbed and tears welled into her eyes instantly. The woman that was holding Renata frowned and pushed the head miad away.

The head maid was so surprised by Renata's eyes that she was not able to control herself and staggered. Sne fell on the ground as no one came forward to support her.

"Take her now and put her in the prison and take all her accomplices to.'' The other maids were so scared that they did not dare to resist. With tears in their eyes, they were taken away while the head maid continued to shout as if she had gone completely crazy.

"Are you alright, child?" Renata who was still looking at the departing figure of maids turned to stare back at the girl who was holding her.

She would only be in her early twenties but her face had a certain sadness and forlorn look that she was well aware of. But it had nothing to do with her. She was struggling to keep herself alive and she had no time to learn about the troubles of others.

'Next time if i would be in better condition, i would try to help you too.' she promised in her heart as she nodded her head to bring a smile of relief on the face of the woman.

"Is there anyone else who has not treated you well?" she felt her father turning to look at her. She still could not bear his aura.

Not only was he a war hero of the past, his hands were stained with his own blood. It was said that he had killed all the members of his adopted family and no one knew about his real family but there was a rumor that they were not humans.

If that was not enough, the rumors that he was behind the death of his wife was enough to create hatred in the heart of Renata. She wanted to tell the world that it was not only her mother but she was killed by this demon in the past too but she knew no one was going to believe that she had come back in time.

"But I am still starving!" so, give me a few new meads to show the world that you care! She looked at him with an adamant look into her eyes as she wondered when he was going to order food for her.

"Lady Parker!" the girl who was holding her while her head was lowered flinched at the cold tone yet raised her head and nodded as if trying to show her presence.

"You have come here to ask for my generosity by offering you the position of your dead husband, right?" she coughed and cleared her throat and straightened her body when Renata looked at her with interest.

She was just a teenager girl with only 19 and 20 of age and she was already a widow? Oh my! She had suffered a lot too.

She felt bad for the girl and somehow felt connected to her.

"You know the rule, women can not inherit the position and wealth and you do not have any successor but the previous wife of the count do.

Her son will be 18 this month." what! She was the second wife of such an old man whose son is going to be 18! Why? Was she greedy for money or her family had sold her? Renata stared at the woman with curiosity that she even forgot she was playing victim.

"I am not at all sorry to say that he was going to be the successor and you are not going to get a single penny from your late husband's property!" scumbag! She knew that he could never feel bad for others but did she need to shove it on the face of others.

She cursed her father in her heart as she saw the face of the young girl wither and distort.

"And I am sure that you have no place to go now, am I right?" Was he mocking her? What's with the happy tone as if he was enjoying her misery. If only she could punch that bastard but she was afraid that her tiny hands would not be of any use even if she did so. That scumbag was made of steel, she saw a wide smirk on his face and felt like hurling profanities at him. He was crueler than she had thought. Harassing a poor girl like that!

"So, i have an offer, why don't you be the nanny of my daughter!"

"........." huh!
