The Retribution of the Ice Cold Maiden

22 - Should we ask for a refund?

"Tzz...!! Tzz...!! Tzz...!! Wakey, Wakey Sleepyhead...!!" Soul made the sound of an alarm going off in hopes of waking Selena up from her slumber.

"I wonder if I can weld the ring to my finger?" Selena thought to herself as the rude awakening made her wish to evict Soul from her mind.

She sat up on her bed with a sour face. The heavy drapes still covered the windows.

"Why did you wake me up at this ungodly hour?" Selena asked with an annoyed tone while rubbing her eyes.

"Ungodly Hour? It's freaking noon, lady...!!" Soul claimed.

"What?" Selena was shocked. She quickly got up and opened the drapes.

Woosh...!! Harsh Sunlight entered the room as it illuminated every square inch of it.

"Did I overslept? What the hell?" Selena was shocked. "Why didn't anyone wake me up? Don't the maids usually wake me up whenever I oversleep?"

"If I have to guess, the image of you bashing your teacher is still fresh in their minds. They would be complete idiots if they dared bothered you after seeing that." Soul replied.

"Ah...!!" Selena's mind jolted as yesterday's events came back to her mind.

She had beaten Teacher Claire Walker for misguiding her education. Then she beat her up some more and threw her off the floor. Then she beat her up even more and revealed her dirty schemes for the world to see. Afterward, she went to the library, made an arrogant yellow dressed slut run away with her tail between her legs, and gained a loyal follower. Then she went to the library, absorbed the information of around a thousand books which left her tired. Then she found an Azure Magic Book which before she could study was interrupted by a challenge by Lady Nina of Marquis Hamilton Manor. With the help of a violent but cheery little Chess program, she utterly obliterated Nina who once had defeated the third ranker in chess of the country. After which, the girl went home crying, quite literally. After she left, Selena walked around the rest of the library collecting the books present and while she was doing that, the other aristocrat children kept a distance from her in fear of incurring her wrath. It seems they saw how Nina went away crying and it also seems that somebody witnessed her "harass" Mila and quickly informed the others.

But Selena was too tired to care. After Soul finished collecting the books, she went straight home and went to bed without dinner.

"I am hungry..." Selena patted her stomach after feeling the pangs of hunger.

"Is anyone there...?" Selena called out.

"Yes, My lady..." Maid Gwen immediately walked in. Apparently she was standing outside the door waiting to be called in, which was very proactive of her, but also a bit creepy.

"Get me breakfa---" Selena stopped midway and looked outside.

"Get me my lunch... I shall have it after my bath."

"Of Course..." Maid Gwen bowed.

"Before you go, is there anything to report?" Selena asked as she made preparations for her bath.

"Yes, as per your instructions, Rhys Yale has been given a primary inspection and is currently hired as an outside guard for now." Maid Gwen informed Selena.

Selena nodded. A Personal Guard needs to go through many background checks before becoming one. It is a time-consuming process, so it was normal for the applied guard to be temporarily posted somewhere else until the checks were finished.

Maid Gwen swiftly left after reporting other minor things and Selena took her bath.

After finishing her bath and changing into a blue dress, she waited in her room for her lunch.
