Bab 101: NARROW ESCAPE

[Music Recommendation: A Royal Affair ~ Ruth Barrett]

Jasmine, who arrived the moment Oriana slapped the maid, ran towards her mother with a worried look.

"Was that really Princess Oriana? Did she slap the head maid?" Jasmine asked, her curiosity piqued to the highest level.

A furious Gwen glared at her daughter before pushing her to the side. "Get out of my way," the woman sighed.

Jasmine twitched her lips, watching her mother leave. Then she turned to the maid, "The Princess really slapped you, yes? Why, that was some harsh slap. Can you even hear me?"

The head maid, who was still holding her ears, stood there in shock. It felt as though distant bells were ringing in her head. She had disrespected the Princess earlier because she clearly looked like someone who could be pushed around, but it turns out that was not the case.
