บท 21: Chapter 20- No need to be concerned

It has been a few days since that incident. The respect for Richard among the servants and the people who heard about it has elevated to a whole another level. Although it was attempted to keep the news a secret, it wouldn't be far off when the people in the Capital and possibly the people joining the Academy would hear about it.

In a way, it was good. Bellarine was happy that now, people would think thrice before bothering her son.

That's why she didn't put much effort into suppressing the news. However, as much as she seemed to be using this incident as a deterrent, she still hasn't overcome the guilt.

She has reassessed all the servants and workers serving the Scarlette house. Have gone through their backgrounds and family connections and also, assigned a new monitoring unit to keep an eye on those servants who work in the mansion.

She has failed and nearly lost her child. Another incident like that happens, and she might as well slit her throat.
