The Hated Lady (HIATUS)

Chapter 27: The First Plan

Right after Merrie confronted the twin, she later walk towards her father's office with the many maids that were assigned to her.

"Father." Merrie said as she enter her father's office. The maids behind quickly hold a line in front of the door.

"My little flower honey!~" Allen rose with a smile as soon Merrie face appeared.

Flower honey? "Good afternoon, father!" Merrie give her sweetest smile.

"What is this formalities! You're making daddy sad, please call me daddy." Allen lift Merrie's body effortlessly to his chest.

"Father! I'm 11! I'm heavy!!!" Merrie said. In a body of a 11 year old girl but with an adult brain, she's more embarrassed than anything.

"Nonsense! You are as light as a feather!" Allen said with a big smile, even flower could be seen floating around him.

"Uhg" Merrie smile helplessly. " Anyway, the thing why I'm here is I want keys, I can't open some door."

"Alright!"

"Wait, that's it?" Merrie tilted her head.

"But, you have to call me daddy!"

Merrie lips form a straight line, "Fine, but put me down first!"

Allen wear a sad expression, "Okay..."

Merrie feet reach the floor, she sigh. She look up to Allen's face and chuckle. "Are you alright, daddy?"

Allen face immediately lightened up, he smile happily.

"Now, where's the key you promise daddy?"

Hearing the last sentence twice, Allen blindly follow his daughter's request. He casually pull out the key's of all the mansions door, handed to her by a few words.

Merrie underestimated Allen love for Merrie only by a million times. She doesn't have a doubt her father wouldn't her whatever she ask, but if it's true these keys can unlock every door in the mansions, isn't it a bit dangerous to give it to a child?

She reached out to grap the keys, surprisingly heavier than it seem. "Does this unlock everything? The heirloom, the garage, all the room that have door knob in it? Just asking."

"Of course! Is there's anything else you want?" Allen said with sparkle in his eyes.

Merrie were stunned for a bit but slowly shake her head in decline. "I'm fine. I'm going to go now." She walk to the door.

"Come whenever you want dear!"

Merrie's heart feel warm. She can't help but to smile as she walk. The maids that waited outside the door continue to follow her from behind as soon she come out the room.

She shake her head furiously, "Okay! Let's get over that and move on to the next plan!"

Austin raise his head, "What is it Young Lady?"

Merrie flustered, she wave her hand in dismissed of her words. "Nothing!"

Back in Allen's office, after Merrie departed, the room atmosphere change. Allen expressionlessly scanning in all the documents that delivered to him recently.

It was the usual, he check the Rosalind's sustainability in the court and kingdom and the house income, while Ladia take charge in the Rosalind's armies and all the issues surrounding it. The two likes to work alone and so their office was in different room.

"My lord, the servant report that the Young Lady secretly walk around with only two worker." Said Daren. "It said Milady feel suffocated by the large of of people, and pointed that the orders never specifically said how many maid's are to serve her."
