Chapter 9 Lord Darian's Relatives III

Harmony placed the tea in a tray before walking out of the kitchen.

"...Sarah's attending dance classes, Milord" Lady Shirley proudly said and Darian hummed

"Hmm, found any suitors along the way" Darian bluntly asked and Sarah half smiled

"Not yet, Milord. And I don't think I intend to at the moment" Sarah answered

"Why not? You're not getting younger. Not getting any suitors?"

"No Milord, Sarah gets many suitors each day but they're not...up to our standards"

"Yes, Milord " Sarah supported her mother

"If you keep leaning on standards, I trust you to remain single the rest of your life"

Lady Shirley's face fell along with her daughter at Darian's response

Harmony arrived at the dinning yo be greeted by silence. She served the tea on the table and with a bow, intended to leave

"Hold on" Sarah stopped her "Pour me a glass of water" She ordered with her chin held up high

Sarah stared at Harmony with distaste as she walked towards her. She knew Harmony was a new maid, a pretty one at that. There was no one who could match her beauty, she knew. But seeing Harmony, actually made her question herself

Harmony gently poured the water from the jug into the glass when she felt a nudge on her elbow and the contents in the jug fell on Sarah

"I-I'm so sorry" Harmony quickly apologised, she had felt a push on her elbow

"How dare you? Where are your manners?" Lady Shirley asked, angered

"Can't you apologise properly" Sarah asked, feigning an angry and shocked expression. Harmony was confused, she already apologised "Kowtow to me immediately" Sarah wanted her to know her place. She may be able to match her beauty but not her status

Harmony stared at the angry, spoilt princess. It was just water, she didn't need to make a fuss about it. She also didn't need to go on her knees

"You're staring at me? I said kowtow to me. Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a slave"

At the table, Samael stared at the argument which he knew was obviously caused by his sister

"I mean to disrespect. Yes I am just a slave and you're elite but you're no God for me to go down on my knees with my head on the floor"
