CHAPTER 1

"Why did I even asked Henry to lower their punishment?"

The young Duchess, Myrtle Cee Austin, asked to the woman beside her.

"You don't want them to be exiled in the Kingdom and they can't just get on with their lives without getting punished. You should asked yourself what you want Myrtle."

The younger woman just sigh and didn't respond.

They waited for the arrival of the three Tremaine in the Parlor room of her chateau. A guard arrived and told them that the carriage is near.

The young Duchess went outside to welcome her guest or so. She crossed her arms and slowly tap her fingers.

"Mother this chateau is bigger than ours."

Said by a woman shorter than her. She had a chocolate brown hair in floral curls, blue eyes and fair skin. She wears a floral yellow gown paired with brown leather boots.

"Are we going to stay here from now on?"

This woman is the same height as the other woman. She had golden brown hair in braid with blue eyes and fair skin. She wears a floral light pink gown paired with black leather boots and a hat to match with the gown.

"I believe so."

Last woman was the last to went out from the carriage. She is shorter by two inches from the duchess. She had reddish-brown hair in clean chignon bun with pale green orbs and white skin. She wears a dark green gown that contracts her eyes. She has this strong demeanor and cruel aura.

"I'm Myrtle Austin. You'll be staying here for five years as punishment. You will obey every order I'll say. You can use and enter anything in the chateau as wish but keep out from personal belongings and don't enter on personal rooms without permission. This woman beside me will tell you the rest. She'll lead you to the room where you'll be staying. Have your rest and good day."

The Duchess welcomed them with cold and expressionless persona. And left them without waiting for their reply.

Her emotions had left long before her. She doesn't feel any emotions and pain because of the past behind her.

Lady Tremaine looked at the woman walking, entering the chateau. She haven't seen her before, heard of her, yes, but she haven't seen her. Rumors says that she is very mysterious and never invited a lady or a lord over. She also didn't attend any ball held in the castle.

"How rude." said by Drizella.

"I won't apologized for her coldness, Ladies. But please be careful of your choice of words, young miss. She is a Duchess and well respected at that." the woman in front of the said as she slightly bowed her head.

Lady Tremaine raised her left brow at the woman.

"And you are?"

"Oh. My name Emery Dofus, the head caretaker of Duchess Austin's chateau. Please call me Nana Emy."

Lady Tremaine looked at her from head to toe. Nana Emy was wearing a casual maid attire.

But she remembers the duchess earlier. She wears a man's clothing but it suits her very well like it was made only for her. It gives a perfectly curved figure even without a corset. Her dark brown hair was tied in high ponytail. The Duchess pale green orbs reflects to her. The younger woman was also taller than her even she wears a heeled boots.

"Please follow me to your room."

"Are we be the one to carry our luggages to our room?" Drizella asked Nana Emy which she nodded in respond. Drizella looked at the older woman unbelievably then to her mother who is carry her own luggage.
