Second Chance: Raising A Yandere Demon Lord - Chapter 16

Even though it was advisable for her to stay at bed two to three days, her excitement to meet Adrian made it difficult for her to rest on bed.

After such a long wait, she was finally being able to meet her, and postponing this further would only irritate Odette.

Odette Albinius was seated upon the couch, and a small smile sat on her face. Her hand held on to a teacup while she leaned against the couch. Her features were visibly, and even with the makeup, she was unable to hide how sickly she appeared.

“Bring them in,” she ordered. To her disappointment, the voice came out to be weak and did not seem domineering.

Upon hearing those words of hers, the door was opened by a maid, and one of the senior maids walked in, followed by two boys— Adrian and Dennis.

Odette’s fell on Adrian first, and she noticed how his shoulders were bandaged. His clothing remained the one he had worn that day, and it appeared that ever since that day, he has not bathed.

Her eyes then moved on to Dennis, and his treatment was slightly better than Adrian. He had bathed and was also given a change of clothing.

The position between Adrian and Dennis had been established, and their treatment from the others will be based on that with Dennis always getting the better one.

Nonetheless, Odette did not have whatsoever desire to interfere with that, and in fact, she believed that it would work as effective catalyst.

Seeing that Adrian and Dennis did not bow, the senior maid slapped at the back of both of their head. The impact caused Adrian to stumble a few steps forward while Dennis remained rooted to his position despite of that.

Both of them bowed to Odette.

Placing the tea cup in her hand down, Odette scrunched up her nose and voiced out, “It really stinks at here. As one of senior maids at here, should not you have made sure that there is nothing that displeases me?”

Those mature words of her did not bring surprise to those present inside the room. Although those words were not usually heard from a seven year old, Odette was mature and more developed from the others of her age.

Her intimidating gaze towards the senior maid caused a chill to travel down her spine. The maid immediately bowed.

“I am sorry, Lady Odette; I am really sorry. The doctor mentioned on how his wound should not come in contact with the water, and that’s why, he was not given a bath. Please overlook it this time around, Lady Odette,” the senior maid spoke out.

Even if Odette was unusual and cruel for a seven year old, the senior maid did not believe that Odette will be taking serious actions against her due to simply this.

Maybe her seven year old self would have believed the words of the maid. However, her current self could see how the senior maid did not put effort into lying.

“Do you think I care about the health of a mere slave?” Odette asked.

A cold look settled in her eyes, and the voice left a bone-chilling affect on everyone. Her tone was very much similar to her father, Damian Albinius, and this led to the maids to submissively bow down their head.

Odette might have been slightly lenient if she had not been poisoned yesterday. The pounding headache made her quite irritated, and it was amusing how she was holding in her anger now.

The doctor was right to advise her to bed rest for at that instant, Odette felt as if she would explode. Staring at all the maids before her, Odette’s anger rose, and the desire to torture all of them came within her.

She wanted to see them cry out to her and beg her for mercy as they bled. Her last thread of sanity prevented from doing that along with Adrian’s presence at here.

The senior maid fell down on her knee and bowed multiple number of times. Her head banged against the floor while she begged for forgiveness.

Leaning back against the couch, Odette curved the ends of her lips to form a smile, and she questioned, “What about whipping fifteen times? That sounds perfect, right?”

The maid had unfortunately underestimated Odette’s cruelty. Just because of slight smell from a slave, she did not think Odette would be this brutal.

Thinking about the opinion the maids had on her now made Odette pleased. This would surely instill more fear within those present at here, and they would not dare to cross her easily.

That’s what she had needed from them— fear.

Shifting her gaze, she glanced at Adrian to check his current expression. It appeared that he had understood her words perfectly, and horror showed upon his face.

The senior maid raised her head, and she had her eyes widened. Hearing the punishment caused the maid’s hand to tremble.

Being in her late fifties, the maid was aware of the after effects of those fifteen whips on her body. Their chances of the maid being crippled due to how cruelly servants are beaten with the whip.

The one arranged for punishing the maids are usually the sadists who derive pleasure from seeing others crying out in pain.

Although the senior maid had never underwent something like that, she had heard stories on how horrifying it was.

“Lady Odette, please overlook this, and give me some other punishment. Please, Lady Odette, not this punishment. I will not be able to survive this. Lady Odette, please be lenient this time around,” the maid pleaded desperately as tears flowed down her eyes.

Seeing the maid’s behavior, a chuckle escaped from her mouth, and amusement showed in her eyes.

This brought back unwanted memories to Odette; her crying made Odette recall about the times she were locked inside that dark room and begged desperately for someone to help her.

Odette’s anger towards the senior maid rose for reminding her of that pathetic time in her life.

Odette then ordered, “Since you do no seem to be pleased with it, I can make some changes.”

Before the senior maid was able to get joyful upon hearing those words, Odette added, “The whipping will be tripled to forty five times, and after that, no doctors will be allowed to visit her for a month. I calculated that perfectly, right?”
