Back in time

Chapter 17- He knows

Chapter 17

"Well, well, well, if it is not the latest bitch that Kame has over here. " Her snobbish voice sounded behind me.

Turning around, I left the piece of cloth that I was using to clean Kame's highly valued Ming Vase behind on the shelf.

Looking at the latest addition to the entourage of ladies that had some sort of ambiguous-possibly romantic relationship with Kame, I could not help but admit that she was indeed more attractive than the rest that came before her. She had a model's physique, standing at a height that was at least 1.7 metres tall, unlike the usually petite figures of the rest of the women of this era. Snow white skin , unlike that of most of the Mongolian ladies I have seen so far , coupled with an oval face with delicate features, she was indeed a great beauty. That is , if you could ignore the ugly scorn and obvious disdain she has on her face at the moment.

"Hey bitch ,do not forget your position. Just because Kame has kindly taken you under his wing as his personal maid, it does not mean that you should overstep your position and attempt to seduce him and elevate your status to that of a concubine of this household. As his future wife to be , I order you to stay away from him from this moment forth." The snobbish lady finished with an arrogant smirk on her face, confident that the servant that she was chiding would follow her commands, like all others had done before.

Unfortunately for her, I was not like the other servants who would blindly take her orders just because she was of a higher status. The fact that she dared to order me around like that , using such a tone of a jealous wife did not sit well with me either. After all, she has not married Kame yet, and I believe Kame would not marry this woman , at least not after what he told me yesterday.

With a little roll of my eyes, I gave a mumbled yes in response before turning back to clean the vase. While it was not really my style to respond to something as foolish and immature as what she said in such a docile manner, I knew that she could make my life even more difficult if I did not give the answer that she demanded. After all, I was just a maid while she appeared to be one of those rich ladies of noble status. And in this time period, insolence against someone of higher status would be punished.

Severely.

"Hey you ! Who says that I am done with you ? How dare you turn your back on me!"

Apparently she was not happy with my response, if her banshee screech was anything to go by.

Endure.There is nothing more to her than a spoiled brat.

With that little reminder in my head, I turned back around to face the girl.

"What insolence you are showing to me. I guess you really believed that you have become a mistress of a higher status just because of Kame's promotion." She screeched again as she glared at me with a dark emotion in her eyes.

It was only later on that I identified that dark emotion to be jealousy.

" Yes of course, my dear mistress, I would never dare to think so highly of myself," I answered in a manner that she thought was needed of a maid.

Unfortunately for her though, I was not a real maid of this era that was brought up to have this inferiority complex in front of these so called 'masters' and 'mistresses'.

"I would never ever want to become a mistress myself,if it means that I have to become someone like you. If it meant that all mistresses had no control over themselves or their manners." I finished with a little smirk as I dropped the dirty cloth in my hand onto the floor.
