Chapter 12Beatrice sighed, watching the man walk to her.He looked innocent but she could see through him. These were the kind of people her mother had warned her to avoid.She was not a little girl before her mother's death. Although she had looked so small, she was mature enough to know the things that went through the mansion."Why would a lady such as yourself be all alone, Milady?" The man that had come to the upper stairs where she has taken for a rest asked.Beatrice didn't want to refuse a man a dance thereby bringing Shame to him, but she didn't like them crawling to her feet.She didn't know that courting toasting a woman would be this bothersome on the part of the woman.She sighed, rubbing her head as she muttered some words."I am fine Milord, I am just tired." She said, praying he would let her be.She didn't have the time to talk with anyone, and how she wished to bang Mel's head on a wheel."Oh, and here I was thinking about asking your hand for a dance. Bad timing

Beatrice wasn't sure about anything at all.How she slipped, how she fell in the tub that was now filled with water and how the Lord was in it with her.Her eyes widened at their position and she gasped."Milord?""Hmm, it seems Little Beatle wanted me to join her in the bath.""Ha, Milord. I would never want that besides you fell as well, how is that my fault?" She asked."Words and actions are two different things." The Lord said to have Beatrice huffed.Beatrice straightened her dress and tried getting out of the tub but was pulled back."Milord?""Hmm."Her eyes widened, seeing that her hair had gotten tangled with the Lord's button.This was not going as she had thought it would go.Beatrice didn't like the way, her body tingled, the sensation that ran in and out of her body as her body touched the Lord's in the bath."Be gentle, less you cut your hair, Beatrice." The Lord said, and she nodded, fidgeting with the button and her hair."Ha, it came off." She sighed, as she removed

"No Milady." Beatrice shook her head, as she fell onto her bed and curled herself up."Hmm, seems like Beatrice is not happy. Did someone take the person you got attracted to? You never can tell." Herbert said, and shrugged at Yuan who glared at her."Quit talking Herbert and let someone rest.""Ouch."Beatrice Chuckled silently hearing them banter.It was nice to have people who cared, and people to talk to.She liked it.Hours Passed and the night had darkened than before, making the whole mansion silent.Beatrice was not yet asleep. She prayed for sleep to come but it didn't.Looking over at her sister Mel who was already asleep and snoring, she rolled her eyes and pressed her head deeper into the pillow."Rubbing her head on the cool and soft pillow, she heard something purr at her feet.She stood up and frowned at the small cat that settled on her feet."Hey little one, how did you get in here?" She asked, picking up the white cat that had big eyes."Aww, Such a cute little thing

"Aha, so nice and warm to be home." Mel sighed, as they got into the house.The mansion was quiet like usual and Beatrice made her way to her room.Although they had taken their breakfast in the Lord's mansion, it was past noon."I heard Mr. Prickle talk about some engagement party between Mr. Soas and Miss Athena, thought it was all a rumor." "I knew you'd follow me here, take a break dear sister, and rest from the rumors," Beatrice said as she settled on the bed."Didn't you see how they two were so touchy at the Lord's banquet?" Said Mel as she climbed the bed to jump on it."I did sister and it was not my business to ponder about it." Answered Beatrice to have Mel snort."The woman is such an actress, accusing Lady Herbert about sleeping with a man that was not her husband and yet touching a man that has not been hers yet." Mel accused."You can hold that tongue of yours till they are finally in the mansion, seeing that Grandpa had invited Miss Athena and her family to lunch," Be

Chapter 20Beatrice didn't mind speaking with uncultured people, her parents had taught her better.It was never a good thing to make people feel bad because they had no manners but for the woman she was staring at..she knew this one would never want to learn.The woman looked so proud even with a glance.Her shoulders were held high and her beret that didn't even match her dress was nearly covering her face and her makeover was out of line.She looked like a confused human out to find out how nature ran its course.But of course, Beatrice still smiled at the lady even when she didn't smile back."Lady Herbert, it's a pleasant surprise to find you at the Lord's Mansion. The rumor about you going around and flirting with men had been stopped..thank God, it didn't damage your name." Lady Sophie said."Hmm, thank God it had been stopped. I honestly was not happy as some people decided to taint my name. A poor me." Lady Herbert said, to have Beatrice smile."There is nothing to worry abou
