Reincarned with a deities Harem (Tome 1)

Intentions

On Gabrielle's side, it was anguish! The latter had been walking in all directions since the morning, stressing like crazy, result; she had not left her room all day even to have dinner...

She did not want to face the servants' gazes, what she saw in the hall was enough. Not to mention the fact that she absolutely did not want to meet her brothers or her step-father.

She had to make herself small... She underestimated Mylène, she could not imagine that she could be so smart but especially sadistic.

She had to admit that the disappearance of the governess, her aunt, suited her because if she was found, she would be executed immediately, taking her and her mother with her misfortune. But knowing or believing she knew Mylène, that must not have been her real plan.

Shit that's not the subject for now, she should think of a way to make herself small now that they know she's not an orphan but especially that her mother was never a widow. The marriage with the duke can be annulled immediately and they would both be repudiated, ending up on the street with nothing because there's no doubt that the duke has already taken back the properties in her mother's name.

If only she had been cunning and had saved up, even if she's sure that Mylène would have taken that back as well. But even so, she never thought about it, she always believed that she would forever be the pampered daughter of the Hostens, that she would marry Frederik De Solsten and that she would live in wealth and opulence for the rest of her life.

Who could have imagined that her dreams would be so mortgaged?

The only option left to her is to quickly marry Frederik but with her obvious attraction to Mylène, even this option has to be reconsidered... once again this witch manages to poison her life.

If she can no longer live as the daughter of the Hostens or hope to marry Frederik then the only option left to her is for her mother to marry the count who wants to remarry, but this old jerk wants a younger bride.

She doesn't want to just go back to this disgusting place with her father who is absolutely useless... He would have been more useful if he had been dead.

All day long, her mother has not come to see her even once which means only one thing, she is just as stressed as she is if not more

The duke is not a man to talk too much or even negotiate, it is certain that their fate is already sealed and once they meet his cold and haughty gaze, he will ask them to leave his home.

“I have to do something, I know now that this woman's poison works given the damage it did to Karl. The only reason it didn't work with Mylène is because this bitch managed to foil my plan before it was executed which means that this woman's products are excellent.”

So she's going to go back to see her and this time ask for another very special product, she won't go back to poverty, she swears.

Fancy stood in front of the employees as the new governess. Many servants looked at her like a traitor or just in amazement. She never let on that she could be Mylène Von Hosten's ally but seeing her meteoric rise within this house, it's obvious that Mylène trusts her a lot so she's been her ally from the start.  Everything she did and said about Mylène was just an act and they fell for it like idiots.

Everyone had worried expressions especially since most of them were going to be fired. The silence was heavy and oppressive and the wait became long.

You could hear the sound of breathing and throats contracting when someone was swallowing. They were so scared but it was that or imagine not being able to feed their families anymore, their fate depended only on the words that Mylène was going to say through Fancy.

Next to Fancy stood Rahan who was there to protect his sister from potential cases of violence but Fancy was not worried. She had waited for her mistress for several hours but at the end of the day, she had guessed that Mylène had passed the responsibilities to her which meant that her mistress trusted her enough to allow her to handle such a decision.

She looked away and saw the duke in the distance, the man was looking at her with sharp eyes and she understood that he was sizing her up. He certainly wanted to know if she could be of any use to his daughter, she must not falter. She had to show as much authority as possible in order to establish her authority and by the same token, that of her mistress in front of all these people.

She would be lying if she said she was not nervous to have these thirty people looking at her with miserable eyes.  Knowing that the lives of some depended on her and having to endure the almost hateful looks of those she would ask to leave, all of this stressed her out but strangely also excited her.

She felt a sense of anxiety that, instead of making her sick, gave her chills feeling the anticipation of seeing the defeated faces of these people who would certainly curse her; it brought her an almost unhealthy pleasure.

She ran her tongue over her lips and her eyes shone with a dark and mean glow, which Claude and even less Christal did not miss.

“Our baby knew how to surround herself with people without a soul...”

“I confirm it, I did not imagine that this kid could be so sadistic...maybe it is a quality of Mylène, being able to reveal the true nature of the people around her.”

“And it is an exquisite quality, don't you think?”

“It’s true that our child is truly exceptional.”

“Oh my Claude, it’s because she took after her wonderful parents.”

Claude smiled and looked back at Fancy before adding.

“You know, my queen, when I found out that this girl knew about our daughter’s plans, I thought it was a bad idea for several reasons.”

“I’m listening to you…”

“First, I didn’t know if our Mylène could really trust her and that she wouldn’t go and report it to her enemies. I can see that I was worrying for nothing.”

“As usual…”

“With a woman like you, there’s always reason to worry and if it rubbed off on our daughter, I couldn’t do otherwise.”

Christal scowled but Claude continued.

“Also, I thought she was singularly lacking in charisma and that she would be a burden for Mylène but now I can see that Mylène knows how to choose her people.”

“That’s for sure, we just have to trust her.”

“Yes... besides, I think we should go soon.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes once Mylène is done with her enemies here, she will leave for Selafon. I think that will be the right time for us to leave too.”

“Fine as you wish, but that doesn’t mean I won’t check in from time to time on how our baby is doing... I want to know how far she will go”

“Don’t worry about that, Mylène has as much ambition as all the kingdoms and empires on the continent, if not more.,

“Yes... because she is the fruit of our love... a forbidden love between a human and a demon.”

“I think giving in to your charms was the best decision of my life.”

Christal twirled around Claude before standing in front of him and kissing him passionately.

“I haven’t told you since you came back but Christal.. I love you, I love you with all my heart, with all my soul; I’m happy that you’re back.”

“Me too my love, I’m happy to be in your arms again...I love you more than anything.”
