Maids has been wary around Anna after the incident the day after yesterday. She's been roaming around the house, doing nothing but eat, breathe and sleep.

She treat everyone in the mansion as merely a decoration styled up to give this mansion a little life. Servants couldn't met her eyes, no one dares to.

She's angelic, her beauty could calm the roaring whiplash waves of the sea, an angels personification but those majestic orange iris were colder than the freezing snow of the east region of the Qxiad kingdom.

Being around within her radius, a chilling sensation streamed within their system.

No one could pick a fight on her, flog her with dirty clothes, dishes, and any household chores. Their mind can't process why they should be afraid of her, their heart couldn't accept that they couldn't see her pretty face stained with dirt, but their bodies automatically reacts to the danger she is emitting.

Her presence alone could topple your knees to the cold floor to bow down, and the fine threadlike strands on their skin rise in voluntary respect to the hovering monster sorrounding her, no, it's not hovering her, she's the monster itself in a human form, piercing their soul.

Bumuntong hininga si Anna. Peeking the maids murmuring outside from her window.

"As far as this body is a divine beauty, I hate as though I need to make them feel intimidated." She complained.

Back on Earth, there's no effort needed to put in to intimidate people, her sharp face features alone could do it.

"But it's bad." She smile wickedly. "A beauty is a poison." She whispered in satisfactory.

As a woman who could find advantage in everything, her beauty can be her weapon.

An angel incarnation, a devil in soul.

"L-lady Anna." Tawag ng maid na si Rosia at pinipigilang hindi manginig ang kanyang boses. "Pinapatawag po kayo ng marquess para sa almusal."

"Ohh?" She silently exclaim in surprise and wonder.

Simula ng mawala ang kanyang ina, hindi na siya kailanman nakakakain ng sabay ang pamilyang Philips sapagkat ang tingin ng mga ito sa kanya ay isang nakakadiring bagay that they'll vomit in a sight.

Humarap siya sa katulong saka ngumiti ng napakatamis.

Napaatras naman ito, hanga siya sa ganda ng binibini, naaawa siya sa tuwing makikita itong nahihirapan at inaalipusta, pero simula ng magising matapos aksidenting mahulog sa hagdan, tila nagbago ito. Hindi na ito ang dating mabait na Anna na kanyang kilala. Siya'y tila isang demonyo sa katauhan ng malaanghel na mukha, ang bawat ngiti niya ay tila may delubyong dala.

Pagkarating ng dining area ay sumalubong sa kanyang mata ang mahabang mesa at mga masasarap na pagkain. Nakaupo ang kanyang mga kapatid ganun din ang kanyang ama pati ang asawa nito.

She didn't bother paying respect to anyone and just strut her way to a vacant chair she could find. She sit near Oliver but with one seat parting them.

She tuck her loose strand hair behind her ear. Their sharp gazes didn't even faze her.

The maids can't help but shiver at the cold and deadly atmosphere hovering the Philips. They saw Anna as a rabbit in a lions territory, she's chill and innocent.

"I prefer eating delicious meal than daggers." She said as she gracefully lean her back at the back rest of her seat, inclining her chin at her palm, her elbow propped at the table and give them a sweetest smile.
