“Come in.” I said without giving it much thought. The dont was pushed, and Lamily entered
need to have a word with you Alpha” She said firmly
I took a lazy glance at Ethan. He got my signal and rose to his text inmediately. He then disappeared from the room, leaving Emily and me alone in the office
My gaze darkened immediately. I don’t even want to breathe the same air with Emily.
“What do you want,” Lasked. My voice was laced with irritation…
She looked scared, but she tried her best to compose herself. This did not escape my eyes, though. I can see everything clearly.
“So the thing here is, the Eldros say as long as I can conceive. There is no need for you to have a concubine anymore.” She begins.
I already knew where she was heading ro, but I still forced myself to listen to her story,
“What about it?” My cold voice echoed through the place. She gulped down her saliva nervously and forced out a smile.
“I was thinking maybe you should let us have a baby. That way, you won’t have to take any concubine,” Sue said, her voice laced with plea
“No way.” I replied hastily without thinking twice. Sleep with Emily? The thought alone disgusts me
I can’t even imagine myself being with any other lady.
“Can I know the reason why?” She hall yelled “I am your wife for fucking sake. Do you even care about how I feel at all?
The comer of my list suddenly curved upward, forming an eal smirk: “You know me well, Emily. Yelling at me right land you in trouble.”
Fear crossed her eyes immediately, and I failed to notice it.

“You brought this upon yourself. I already told you there must be no strings attached. So whether you are along a concubine or not has nothing to do with you. Just enjoy the Luna position while. It lasts Remember. She will return to where she belongs. The Lima po position,” Ispat out coldly.
Chapter 36: I am now in charge of the kitchen
Tricla’s POV
“Thanks for your help earlier; I’m really grateful.” I thanked the man and smiled at him.
He returned the smile. “It is my pleasure. Can I know your name?” he asked with a raised brow, and I nodded.
“Tricia,” I replied with a smile
“Wow. What a beautiful name for a beautiful lady like you,”
The sahl, his smile never leaving his face
“Thank you,” I mammbled in a low breath. Though this guy was excellent, I was feeling uncomfortable around him.
“Hope you still remember my name?” He suddenly asked. He was pulling me out of my thoughts.
1 directed my pare to him and smiled. “Of course I do. Damien, right?”
His smile grew wider. “Thank you. I’m glad you still remember my name. Have something urgent to attend to. Talk to you later.”
With that, he walked away.
The smile on my face dropped instantly, replaced with coldness.
What Lucian said earlier echoed throughout my head. It would be a lie to say I was not mad at him.
In fact, getting mad at him is an understatement that arrogant bastard:
I made my way to the kitchen. Everyone set their
ir gaze on me as I stepped in.
“You should do the dishes.” Miss Mary announced.
My eyes scanned the whole place, and they settled on the dirty dishes. It was as if they had even packed some clean dishes, with them because it was as if there was a party going on in the palace.
“Is this the dish you have used for the past two weeks? I couldn’t help but question me,” Miss Mary said throath her gritted teeth.
ask “How dare you talk to me that way. Get to work immediately, and don’t
My eyes scanned the whole place, and none of the maids were busy. They were all busy relaxing instead.
It was clear that Miss Mary was doing this to punish me
I clenched my jaw, suppressing my anger. “Yes, ma’am.
I began scrubbing the dishes, my mind racing with thoughts of Damien and Lucian
Why did Damien’s chart make me uncomfortable? And why did Lucian’s warning infuriate me?
As I worked, the other maids snickered and whispered among themselves
“Tricia’s in trouble again,” one of them giggled
I ignored them, focusing on the task at hand.
Just as I finished the dishes, Miss Mary appeared, inspecting my work
“It’s not clean enough,” she snapped. “Redo it.”
My hands trembled with rage, but I bit my tongue, trying hard to suppress my anger,
“I don’t think I can redo the dishes. Anyone can see this themselves. The dishes were sparkling clean, so why should I redo it?” I said through my gritted
teeth
The door flew open, and Ava entered. She had a bucket and a mop in her hand. She looks so tired I can tell Miss Mary intentionally overstressed her.
“So are you saying you can’t redo it?” She asked, furrowing her brow
“Yes I can’t” I snapped at her immediately.
Anger was written all over my face. What the heck? Clearing the dishes took me more than three hours. My back was already sore from bending too much, and my hands were hurting as well
I just feel like sleeping right now.
“Redo the dish before you angered ine bitch. She yelled. Her voice echoed through the place.
“I guess yelling and bullying her seems to be your hobby now
We all directed our pace to the owner of the voice. The person turns out to be Lyra
Her eyes were shooting daggers at Miss Mary
If a look could kill, then Miss Mary would have been dead by now.
Lyra walked further into the kitchen, and all the malds greeted her immediately.
Chapter 36. I am now in charge of the kitchen

“Welcome your highness.”
She nodded in reply and settled her gaze on Miss Mary
“Can I take a look at the dishes?” She asked, raising an eyebrow
Miss Mary forced out a nervous smile and pointed at the dishes in the big bowl
The corner of Lyra’s lips curved upward slightly. “Well, I see nothing wrong with the dishes. But since you said the dishes are not neat, you should do the cleaning yourself as well,” she spat out coldly.
Miss Mary’s face turned beet red with rage, but Lyra’s royal status kept her in check.
“Of course, Your Highness,” Miss Mary said, her voice dripping with resentment
Lyra’s gaze shifted to me. “Tricia, you’re exhausted. Take a break.”
I nodded gratefully, my anger subsiding
“What are you waiting for? You should start cleaning it already. “Lyra snapped at her.
“I will tell other maids to do it, your highness.” She said, trying her best to control her anger
“No, you should do that yourself. And after cleaning the dishes, you are no longer the mistress in the kitchen. I will be in charge of the front from now on. You are now like every other maid. You are no different from them,” Lyra said. The gentle smile on her face never left for once.
Gasps of shock filled the room, and everyone widened their eyes in shock. “It’s an order. If you dared to treat anyone as if you were superior to them, you would face my wrath,” she spat out coldly,
Beads of sweat started forming on Miss Mary’s forehead. “I am sorry, Your Highness. Such will not happen again.” She Pleaded, hoping Lyra would forgive her.
“Unfortunately. It is already late. I will be in charge of everything from today henceforth. You were given a post. Instead of you using it like a sensible person. You started bullying people with it instead.”
A big smile formed on my lips and served the old hag right. Now, I can breathe in peace
“I am sorry, your highness” she said through her gritted teeth, trying her best to hide her rage.
“I’ve heard you but you are now like every other maids.” She spat out coldly.
Miss Mary’s face contorted in anger and humiliation as she reluctantly began cleaning the dishes.
The kitchen fell silent, with all eyes on the fallen mistress.
Knowing Miss Mary’s reign of terror had ended, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
Lyra’s gaze swept the room, ensuring everyone understood the new hierarchy.
“From now on, I’ll be monitoring the kitchen’s operations. Any bullying or unfair treatment will be reported directly to me.”
The maids nodded, some exchanging relieved glances.
Ava approached me, a smile on her face. “Thanks to Lyra, we can finally breathe easy”
I nodded in agreement. “She’s always looking out for us.”
As the kitchen returned to its duties, Lyra’s words echoed in my mind
A big smile settled on my face. Knowing Lyra is the best thing that has ever happened to me here.
“You both should come to my room after today’s work. Let’s have fun tonight,” Lyra said with a big smile.
Ava and I returned the smile. “Sure. It will be our pleasure.”
Lyra left the kitchen afterward.
Night soon fell. I and Ava made our way to Lyra’s room.
Just as I was about to push open the door, I heard a high–pitched voice behind us
