A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 13
Chapter Thirteen
“Is there something wrong?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.
She wasn‘t touching the drink and instead was staring at the teacup a little strangely. My heart sank. Had she only been pretending to not know what I‘d just done?
But her eyes then began to water, a timid smile twitching at her lips.
“No, it‘s just… this is really nice of you, Miss. Thank you for being so considerate,” she said, softly. “I know I‘m just an attendant, but you‘ve really made me feel like a part of the family by doing this.”
I watched as she took a sip and instantly my heart leapt. She‘d drunk the tea and hadn‘t hesitated when asked to serve it to my parents.
A bright smile instantly broke out on my face and I ran to her, grabbing her hands in mine excitedly.
“Thank you…,” I said sincerely.
“Miss?” she asked, confused. “What‘s wrong? Why are you thanking me?”
“Because the letter I gave you yesterday was to say that I would poison my parent‘s tea tonight, and you happily served it to them and even willingly drank it too. This means you didn‘t read the letter,” I said,
calmly explaining.
She jolted away from me and frantically turned to the tea she had just drunk in disbelief.
“It‘s okay! Relax! It was just some lemon and green tea leaves. I‘m terrible at herbology anyway.”
“Miss, why would you play such a nasty prank on me like that?” she asked furiously, raising her voice.
I hadn‘t intended to make her angry, but I suppose I did just admit to trying to poison her.
“Please lower your voice. It wasn‘t a prank. I did it to make sure I could trust you,” I explained. “There is someone after me, Lucy. They‘re going to kill me. I can‘t give you all the details and you absolutely cannot tell my parents. If you do, then I won‘t be able to protect myself. I can‘t do this without your help.”
She looked at me warily like I was insane, unable to find any words to respond.
“I‘m not crazy, Lucy,” I said adamantly. “If you help me, I‘ll even pay you double your yearly salary for your time and discretion. So please… help me.”
It took a few moments but, finally, her eyes softened and she nodded her head in agreement.
I think she could feel now that this wasn‘t a prank but actually a very real threat that I was begging her to help me with. Not just a child‘s silly fear, but something far more substantial.
