The Retribution of the Ice Cold Maiden

09-Is this deal acceptable to you?

"What happened?" Soul asked as he detected something was wrong when Selena removed the ring after changing her clothes.

"Patricia's Father, Baron Turner is here to visit me." Selena explained as she made her way to the Drawing Room.

"Baron Turner? Visit you? Shouldn't it be your Father?" Soul asked. He had read about Baron Turner from Selena's memories. Since a Baron was ranked lower than a Marquis, it goes without saying that Baron Turner's influence was much lesser than Marquis Booker. In fact, the land which the Baron controlled relied heavily on imports from Marquis Booker's controlled region. It was due to these business transactions that Selena and Patricia became acquainted as the Baron would usually bring Patricia to play with her.

"The Marquis is currently out for work, and the Marchioness has also gone out. Only me and Nicholas are here to greet him." Selena replied.

"Both of them? Does this mean that the Baron came at this time on purpose? That's low." Soul sneered.

"What do you think his plan is?" Selena asked.

"Plan? What plan? I bet he is here to beg for mercy." Soul replied.

"No, he's not. An aristocrat like him will not bow to the next generation despite their rank unless they are Royalty."

"What? It can't be. His daughter is one of the perpetrators of this incident, how can someone be so shameless----"

Creeaakk....!! The doors to the Drawing Room were opened and a middle-aged man could be seen talking to the Head Butler. The man had a thin but fit body. He had mutton chops and a Handlebar mustache. Unlike Soul expected, he had a haughty demeanor and prideful look and had an upright posture.

"Okay, you didn't have to slap me this hard." Soul replied bitterly as he realized he was completely wrong.

"Head Butler Swanson, I will take it from here. Please arrange for some refreshments for our guest." Selena said as she walked into the room. She made an expressive nod, which combined with her newly gained acting skills managed to send a message to the Head Butler, 'Contact my Father.'

The Butler immediately got the message and replied with a bow, "Of Course, my lady." He quickly ran off to find someone to contact the Marquis.

After the Butler left, Selena gazed at a certain piggy in the room. It seems even he had to come to receive the guest. However, as soon as Selena entered, he pulled his head down not even daring to look at her.

"That's a good piggy." Soul chuckled.

Finally, Selena looked at the Baron who was much taller than her. He looked down at her with a dominant stare. Selena responded to that by looking directly into his eyes without changing her expression.

A struggle to grab the initiative had already begun before any words were spoken. But because the Baron was not expecting Selena to look at him so emotionlessly, he shivered being stared at by the Icy cold eyes of the maiden.

"How can I help you today, Baron Turner?" Selena asked, after making sure she had taken the initiative.

The sentence broke the Baron's concentration and he ended up avoiding her eyes.

"Ahem... I wish to speak to you..." the Baron replied as he took a seat.

"Okay, please sit..." Selena spoke but interrupted herself and said, "Oh, you already took a seat."

"Cough, Cough...!!" The Baron almost spit blood. Usually, a guest would only sit down after the host asked them to. It was a sign of respect. Baron sitting down before the host told him to was a blatant disregard to Marquis's Manor. He didn't expect a little girl with no power like her would point it out and embarrass him like this.
