I was both angry and shocked at the same time.
How did they even find me?!
I am sure I ran pretty fast!
But seriously—
Who breaks into someone's house and pours cold water on a sleeping person?!
I swear, I want to tear off her hair!
Before I even got to breathe, the woman behind her spoke— and from the uniform, I could finally tell she was the maid from the alley.
"Oh my god! My Lady!" the maid cried, clutching her hands dramatically. "Are you alright? Your precious face! It even left a mark!"
Her voice trembled with fury as she glared at me.
"How dare this lowly commoner slap you?! Shall I break her fingers? Or… kill her?"
Rosetta's slap still stung on the stranger lady's cheek.
The beautiful lady touched her face, wide-eyed.
Did she just… slap me?
My face—my perfect, adored, flawless face?
No one has ever dared lay a hand on me. Man or woman, they always fell for this beauty…
I absolutely won't let her run away.
"MY LADY!!" the maid shrieked, stepping forward. "Your precious face! How dare this lowly commoner hit you?!"
"Apologize to her at once!"
Rosetta glared at them both. "Why should I say sorry? I did nothing wrong! You two broke into my house and poured cold water on me while I was sleeping!"
