Chapter 208

Chapter 208

A deathly silence fell upon them.

The ladies stood perfectly still, holding their breaths.

Nobody dared to move an inch.

“No?” Janet chuckled icily, “That is what I think.”

The guards outside of the door heard Kalinda’s cry for help and came rushing in.

“Is there anything wrong, my lady? We heard screaming,” asked the guard.

Agnes swallowed, “We…”

Janet spoke up before she did, “I was simply doing a little show to entertain the ladies. Nothing to worry about. Right, Lady Agnes?”

She gave Agnes a warning look.

“Yes… Yes, that is right.” Agnes confirmed with a pale face. “We were just having fun.‘

The guards nodded and exited the room.

“Look”

Janet turned to face the horrified crowd, “I might be an ill–mannered person, but not an unreasonable one. I can keep things civil as long as you promise not to mess with me on purpose. Can you at least give me that?”

“We didn’t mess with you on purpose…” Kalinda murmured in an indignant voice.

“Oh? Then it is my wooden stick on the floor?” Janet said icily.

The girls bit their lips in silence.

They exchanged looks of uneasiness with one another.

A faint voice came from the crowd at this very moment:

“…I…I think what you did is pretty cool.”

Janet looked over and found a petite girl standing at the back of the crowd.

She flinched when she met with Janet’s eyes but plucked her courage and continued

anyway:

“Y–You must be pretty good at darts and game of quoit.”

Janet smiled, “I wouldn’t say I am a pro, but not too bad either.”

A pink tinge appeared on that girl’s pale cheek as she stuttered, “My name is Annie, from the House of Light. And I…I want to be good at those games too. There is a Carnival each year in the village. But I can never get the first prize in darting and quoiting games…”

“Well.”

Janet shrugged, “If you like, I can teach you sometimes.”

“Really?” Annie gasped.

“Yeah, why not? I have ample time on my hands now.”

Annic beamed.
