Chapter 26: VA is scheming again.

Inside, Sigrid chuckled at the look of struggle on Mirena’s face, if she said no, everyone would think her unappreciative considering the fact that she was being offered a house and a year’s worth of gold. However, if she said yes, then they would ask her why she was clinging onto the duchess, after all the things she was being offered were far beyond generous. Which servant of a noble was given all that gold and a house without any expectations in return?

This was something usually done for mistresses being kept by noble or wealthy men.

Mirena swallowed and begrudgingly answered, "The duchess is generous."

Sigrid peeked at the list of servants being terminated and how much they would be getting. "Excellent, so Mirena gets a house and one thousand gold coins, wow!" Sigrid exclaimed loudly. "Grandmother, one thousand gold, my God, this is not a years worth of salary it’s at least ten years worth."

She was genuinely surprised, she thought Mirena would be paid in silver coins, not gold. This generosity was beyond what she had in mind and she had absolutely no plans of allowing Mirena leave Doria with that gold, half had to be reclaimed.

The reaction Sigrid had been going for was received, the servants were excited, those that were leaving and the ones that were staying. The duchess had even invited over shop keepers that worked for her father to witness the moment.

"One thousand gold, I could live on that forever."

"It’s too much, the duchess really dotes on Mirena."

"I wonder if the rest of us are going to get as much, I was worried about being let go of but now I am excited."

"Why is Mirena still on her knees, she should be kissing the duchess’s feet for her generosity. I would give anything to get all that gold and a free house."
