The Retribution of the Ice Cold Maiden

14-Would a respected Teacher do this to a student?

"Hmm? Did you hear something?" A young maid cleaning the ground floor's main hall asked a young butler who was polishing the metal showpieces.

"Petra, why are you changing the subject? I asked you why you keep rejecting me." the young Butler asked the maid Petra.

"I already told you, Saul. It's because you are not rich enough for me." Maid Petra replied with a casual face, not caring for the young man's breaking heart.

"You... Cough... I hate to break it to you, but with your personality, I am the best person you can get married to." Saul replied with a small cough to control his inner pain.

"What a nice way to woo a lady." Petra replied with a slightly annoyed face.

"I am serious, sure, you look nice, but you demand too much from your partner." Saul replied.

"Oh come on, no I don't."

"Really? Then why did you ask me to take you to the Flower Star Restaurant? That place is so fancy that we cannot even afford the water they serve there." Saul replied with a frustrated face.

"Humph...!! It is saying things like these that I don't want to---"

THUD...!!! CRASH...!!

"ARRGGHHH...!!!"

A loud noise suddenly came from the upper floor. The two employees were immediately alarmed and looked up. What they saw made them leap from shock.

They saw the Teacher, known as Claire Walker, knocked against the railing of the first floor, and blood flowed profusely from her head.

"T-Teacher Walker?!" The maid dropped her broom in fright. Life in Evergreen Kingdom was more stable and peaceful than other countries, especially in the Capital. Even the commoners enjoyed a Life of safety and many of them rarely saw bloodshed, let alone this much. So it is understandable why they would panic at the grim situation before them.

"G-Go help her...!!" She cried out to Saul who was frozen in place.

"Ah?! Y-Yes...!!" Her shriek woke him up and he immediately took action, but before he could climb the stairs, he heard a cold voice which froze him back.

"What... is his name?"

Teacher Walker stood up with the support of the railing but her legs were still shivering and her voice distraught from the pain that assaulted her head.

"M-My lady...!! Please stop...!! I really don't know what you are---- Arghhh....!!" Before she could finish. The Fireplace Poker hit her squarely on her face and she stumbled back over the railing and... WHACK....!!

She felt right in front of the Maid Petra.

"Kyaa....!!" Maid Petra squealed in fright as she ran away.

The Scream jolted Teacher Walker awake but she could only struggle in pain as the fall almost broke a couple of bones on impact. She heaved heavily as she called for help.

Butler Saul was truly frightened by the turn of events. He turned to look at Selena only to see her nonchalant face looking at the fallen Teacher and then walked back in her room and shut the doors behind her.

"T-This... Master...!! Master Marquis...!!" The Butler swiftly ran to find the Marquis since he knew he was way too low-level to handle this kind of situation.

*Five minutes later*

The Marquis made his way into the main hall with sweat on his forehead. When the Butler told him what he saw, the first thing he did was slap the butler. But surprisingly, even with a swollen cheek, he repeated the same thing which suggested he wasn't lying.
