Bab 180: Pending Death

“Oh…I see…” I mumbled while wondering what was behind this sudden development.

“This is Master Bradons’ idea and order,” Jenna said with a smile.

“Right. Well, I’m glad to have you with me,” I replied.

I should have known that this was Bradon’s idea. As to why he went out of his way to do something like this, I had absolutely no clue once again. Perhaps, he wanted her to watch and report on me?

Zain could have gotten the same job done as well, but perhaps the fact that he is a man kept him from being with me at all times. I plastered a smile on my lips as I wondered if Bella would be sticking to my side like glue.

“Thank you very much, My Lady!” Bella exclaimed excitedly.

I had no idea why she looked so happy but I was glad for her. Having an enthusiastic and friendly maid could go a long way in helping out with my life. I also didn’t want to dampen her spirits with any cruel or suspicious remarks about the work that she had been assigned.
