Chapter 72

Dinah was holding a tray with dinner. The hairs on Kyon’s skin stood up. Stop! It wasn’t supposed to be happening! She had to be under the order not to harm him! How dared she to enter the cage with the tiger? Why didn’t she send someone else to do the dirty job? It was beneath her high rank to bring dinner to the servants after all. It was different last time when he intended to give her a hard time and send a message.

Kyon was alarmed. The impassive expression on Dinah’s beautiful face was hard to read. {Maybe she wants to clear up her suspicions about me? Or find out why Juno gave her orders when I asked her to? Or maybe she liked the way I held her? Or perhaps she managed to cancel the order? Damn, she is driving me crazy… You shouldn’t have come, little fool.} – Kyon wanted Dinah to take his warnings seriously. He broke into an insidious smile.

On each occasion, his masters told Kyon that he had two weak points: his pointless recklessness and a soft spot for all things beautiful, in particular, beautiful girls. His loving young heart couldn’t help it. An era without girls had only strengthened this flaw. Besides, Dinah had come to tease him herself… To see what his words were worth.

Dinah noticed the expression on his face and wasn’t surprised. When they last met, he proved to be a good, even an impressive actor. He had tricked her sister into bringing him food… He had taken her for a ride, as well. But now Dinah knew his true nature, and it wasn’t to her liking.

Dinah put the tray on the coffee table and said acidly:

«I wonder how a piece of trash like you could get close to the young lady and is now ruining her grandeur with his wretched presence. Either heaven is blind, or you have tricked everyone again.»

Kyon slowly walked toward the door to block it.

«Tricked everyone? Baby, you have a poor opinion of me. I’m not like that!

It was like savoring hot, intoxicating, sweet mead. Only, Dinah didn’t care. The servant could say all he wanted. He was only making things worse.

«I have warned you, boy. If you don’t treat me properly, you’ll regret that you were born. Your words that I am a pathetic maid have unleashed hell on earth. What can you say in your defense?» – She came closer to Kyon, who had blocked the only way out.

The unlucky lover boy had an annoying suspicion, which he decided to refute before things went downhill. «Do you remember the order not to harm me?»

Dinah startled, confusion flashed across her eyes.

«You…»

Kyon burst into laughter with relief. The situation was funny. Her reaction was too natural to be a lie. What a fool she was! He had warned her to stay away from him, but she… How could Dinah be so stupid! She had brought him food with no good intentions, making him believe that she only wanted to know how he had become a servant… How could she forget about the order? Well, Kyon had never expected a maid to be a bright spark.

«Why are you laughing? Do I look funny?»

Kyon suddenly stopped laughing:

«You do, indeed… I didn’t know you are such a bird brain… How did you get this high position? Are you really a virgin? I heard the lady’s maids are obliged to be virgins, but something tells me that you got this job by spreading your legs, didn’t you?»

It was like he had poured a bucket with slop over Dinah. She trembled with all her body, feeling disgusted and chilly. Dinah clenched her fists and pierced Kyon with an icy look, experiencing a new, delightful, invigorating feeling at the same time. Was it excitement? Something extraordinary had happened in her boring life for the first time. The stupid boy dared to play with a professional assassin and the senior maid rolled in one!

«Well, I will forgive you if you free the doorway, get on your knees and sincerely apologize.» – Dinah said slyly, almost peacefully. Only, her clenched fists and trembling eyelashes betrayed her tension.

Kyon made sure he was safe and cocked his head to one side.

«My dear sweet little Dinah, I will never do it… I warned you not to come anywhere near me, but you disobeyed. Now I want to talk about your behavior.»

Dinah heaved a deep sigh, her eyes closed as if she reveled in some secret feeling. He called her sweet little Dinah. It was so endearingly humiliating… How could he be so arrogant and self-confident?

«Do you have any right to speak with me about my behavior? Who are you? My master? Do you understand what a “servant” means?» – Dinah was curious to know what was on his mind.

Kyon snorted.

«Will you ever get the meaning of a “maid.” It means that you have to follow the orders of your lady. I am in good standing with mine, that’s why you are just a stupid girl who has underestimated my warning.»

Dinah giggled. It was her first sincere smile since they first met, and it was surprisingly charming.

«Well, well, well. Aren’t you unbelievably narrow-minded and stupid? Tell me, how are you going to carry out your threats, boy?» – Dinah teased him, adjusting her hair and looking defiantly into his eyes.

«Huh, aren’t you too full of yourself? Come here, and you will see!» – Kyon cunningly provoked her, beckoning her with his finger. He had to punish her properly or his words didn’t mean anything. However, Kyon wasn’t going to punish her physically! It would be a moral punishment and a severe one.

Dinah took a step, then another one, coming closer and closer to him. Then she hesitated. She looked a bit frightened, but her words oozed poisonous sarcasm:

«I’m so scared… Are you sure you want to punish me?»

Kyon nodded.

Dinah smirked in anticipation of what the cheeky boy would do. She approached Kyon resolutely, slowly, gracefully and stopped a couple of steps away from him, leaving Kyon a bit surprised.

«So, what’s your next move?»

With no hesitation, Kyon stepped forward and hugged Dinah by the slim waist. He ran his hand down her hourglass figure and smacked her pretty tight bottom. He should take advantage of the situation, or she would run away.

{How about this, bitch?} – Kyon gave her a dirty wink, rejoicing in Dinah’s helplessness. Indeed, revenge is a sweet thing. It would teach her to heed his warning.

Dinah’s slim body was wonderfully supple and soft, and her smell … Mmm, her silky hair smelt so nice that it made Kyon feel dizzy. He would never forget her pretty shocked face. It was so enchanting that he could admire her forever.

Dinah was so stunned she forgot to breathe. When she was going to him, she had no idea what would happen next. What could the boy do to her? Сould he attack her? Dinah lacked the experience to predict the reaction of this reckless youth. And now this! Kyon’s firm, imperious glare reflected his indomitable spirit. His confident, smug smile suggested he was an influential aristocrat. How could he possibly be only a servant?

Another insolent slap on her bottom woke Dinah out of her stupor. The boy was still wrapping his arms tightly around her, which made her shudder in disgust. He was looking straight into her eyes, waiting for any reaction from the victim of his harassment. What an arrogant fool! Did he really think that she had come here without a single chance to punish him? Did she bring him dinner just to humiliate herself? She had a sweet feeling of excitement for a reason. Dinah knew that meeting Kyon could get her inevitable punishment, that’s why she had come to the young lady and explicitly requested her to cancel the order. Juno remained indifferent and said “okay” without looking at her while Dinah’s subconscious received the necessary response. The rule “do not harm the servant” was no longer valid.

*pam*

Just a second ago, Kyon was enjoying Dinah’s helpless reaction, and a moment later, he was flying at high speed towards the steps and crashing against them as if being hit by a hefty hammer. He must have broken a couple of bones, that’s for sure.

The impact emptied all the air of his lungs.

{It can’t be… How? Is the order no longer active?} – Kyon’s brain was working with the speed of light. When the blow sent him flying, he understood what he had gotten himself into. It was so naive of him to believe he was safe. He dared to hug the senior maid-assassin. Not only hug her but also… Oh yeah, he was dead. The insulted, enraged maid would do everything to kill him. The next moment, Kyon pushed himself off the steps and dashed out of the library.

Dinah’s face darkened. She unconsciously touched her butt that was burning after his slaps had left a mark, “the slave’s hand was here.” All her essence was filled with an inexhaustible thirst for murder. At least, she did not fall into the state as in the case with Jean.

Kyon ran, jumping a couple of steps. He pulled out his sound transmitter on the run and dialed Juno’s frequency.

«Juno speaking.»

Kyon yelled at the device:

«Please, quick, restrain Dinah in the storeroom!»

*bang*

A crushing blow in the back threw Kyon head over heels from the storeroom to the nearest wall, the sound transmitter flew away.

As soon as he landed, he ran towards the stairs. Every second counted.

«What’s all this noise?» – asked Anna. She nearly bumped into Kyon.

«I confessed my love to Lady Dinah, and now she wants to kill me!» – Kyon cried out. He heard Dinah snort behind them and hid behind Anna with no hesitation. Honour and dignity? They wouldn’t help him if he was dead! So, he hid behind the girl who was his only salvation.

Anna was surprised to hear that. He had confessed his love to Dinah? She looked at the boy, then at her sister who was approaching them with the threatening grace of a cat. Sister’s fury was evident. Her eyes sparkled with bloodthirst, her face turned pale. In a split second, the servant would end up a spot on the wall.

«Dinah, is it true?»

«Back off, sister. I will beat this scum to a pulp. He should know his place.» – Dinah replied with ice in her voice, glaring at the boy who was poking out behind Anna.

Kyon was surprised. He expected that Dinah’s revenge would be murder. Apparently, all she intended to do was to beat him up. After what he had done?! There was nothing to worry about. Kyon felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulders.

Just then, they heard soft footsteps behind them. Everyone turned to see Juno.

«What’s going on here?» – The young lady asked, looking at everyone.

Dinah froze. She could not continue what she had in her mind in the presence of the lady. Dinah knew that the servant was important to Juno, that’s why she hadn’t killed him yet. But he deserved punishment by all means and a severe one. He should be afraid to look her in the eye after that. He would be wetting his bed in fear at night.

«My lady, I want to talk to you.» – Dinah said firmly, taking a step forward.

Kyon said defiantly:

«Lady Juno, please, tell your maid that you will hear her version right after mine.» – Kyon said, wincing painfully and rubbing his back that hurt like hell.

Juno obeyed his order as if she were a puppet, making it clear to Dinah that the servant was more important to her. The couple disappeared from the eyes of the astonished maids in a secluded, quiet place.

Kyon could not allow Juno to leave with Dinah. It would make things only worse. Her strange behavior could be suspicious.

Dinah felt a bitter taste of disappointment mixed with a poignant heartache. She turned away and closed her eyes. She had been diligently serving as a lady maid for many years. One single time she disobeyed the order, and the lady put her below the dirty servant who was now pulling the wool over her eyes.

Anna put her hand on Dinah’s shoulder. «Sister, you have to understand, an innocent confession shouldn’t make you angry. He is Marina’s friend, and she is close to the lady… It’s perfectly clear that the lady will put him first.»

«He didn’t… It does not matter.» – Dinah went to her room, visibly annoyed, hiding the insult inside. She did not intend to tell her sister the humiliating truth.

Meanwhile, Juno was taking her master’s new orders with a sour expression on her face and explaining how it had come to that.

After she received all orders, she went to Dinah’s room to talk to her one to one. «Listen to me, Dinah. This servant is Marina’s close friend. Friends of my friends mean the world to me. Besides, he is very efficient. I don’t want you to mess with him. I order you not to harm him. From now on, please stay away from him.» – Juno said with a cold expression on her face.

«But… but he…» – Dinah started in a wounded voice, but Juno didn’t listen to her. She left without hearing Dinah’s side of the story, which was totally disrespectful to her maid. Her indifferent and strange behavior could arouse suspicion, but Dinah was distracted by the violent emotions that were tearing her apart.

Her heart was filled with pain and sorrow at the injustice. She had always faithfully fulfilled her duties, but the lady didn’t show an ounce of gratitude. How could she treat her like that? The senior maids were never punished because of servants. They could even be forgiven for murdering a nobleman. Dinah wanted to see what was behind Juno’s unusual behavior, but the mere thought that the servant was more valuable for the lady burned like hell.

{Wretched servant … It’s all because of him … He has somehow changed the lady! And now I can’t even approach him…} – Dinah felt as if her wings had been cut off in her own nest. She couldn’t stay in the mansion together with that boy, but there was nothing she could do. At least, he said nothing about his love confession to Lady Juno.
