Nisha of the Red

Gutless being a creation of Nisha was protective by nature and thus extremely sensitive to anything that pertains to her master. Thus it was very easy for her and the twin monster maids to sense hostility towards their mistress. If they had it their way, they would have killed everybody in the hall, but Nisha refrains them by doing so. But that didn't stop them from wearing displeased expressions on their faces.

One of the older maids took notice of the maids that followed the woman that claimed to be the fifth miss dissatisfied. The maid bent down and whispered into the head mistress's ear. A look of panic flashed across the woman's face which was quickly covered up with a gentle motherly look. Nisha was amused by the sight and wondered what nonsense could be running through her little mind. Ana, on the other hand, frightened stiff by sitting at the table where the masters of the household sat at to wine and dine.

The headmistress got up from her seat and made her way to the monster maids that tended to Nisha.

"Please excuse this old woman for not greeting esteemed guests." The headmistress directed towards Nisha's maids in a motherly tone. Gutless's brow wrinkled more due to this foolish woman overlooking her mistress, the other newly made maids felt the same way. They stared at the woman is displeasure, which was out of the head mistress's expectations. Nisha didn't bother with them and concentrated on making Ana comfortable. Nisha believed after she briefs her monsters on the 'rules' her maids were more than capable to handle the situation.

Instead of the headmistress taking the hint of their displeasure with her, she started to blame Nisha in her head for this awkward greeting. She saw her greeting wasn't in the wrong, she was humble and acted like a motherly figure. So any type of ill feelings that were there, must be something that the fifth miss caused without noticing it.

"I apologize for my daughter on her behalf. She's young, and has much to learn." She said gently in a remorseful tone, but it sounded like the greatest insult to the monster maids. A mere mortal has the nerve to try to find fault in their mistress and creator. If Nisha didn't set any rules they would drain the blood from anybody that they deem unworthy.

"Insolence!" Gutless scolded the fool before her. Gutless very word carried massive weight and power that bought anybody who heard to their knees, even the skilled guards and knights were bought to their knees. The headmistress was in worst shape than the others since she was point bleak range of Gutless word of power. It was a similar situation how Nisha used the word 'kneel' when she encountered the head maid, Gutless was taught to turn the word 'Insolence' into the word of power that had similar effects. The everyone in the dinner hall crumbled to their knees, as blood started to leak from their ears and noes.

The neat, glamorous appearance and glamorous clothes that the headmistress wore was now disheveled and her face was pale with sweat. She wanted to plea for forgiveness, but the pain and fear she felt was too much for her to even speak. The woman felt an unspeakable dread that washed over her when Gutless called out the word 'Insolence'. Luna and Una looked at Gutless in awe and delight when they fell saw the leader of the maids step up.

Even though Nisha paid no mind to what was happening around her and was purely focused on Ana by her side. Ana was once again didn't know what to do afterward when all of this transpired. She peered across the hall to see everybody groveling and shaking in their boots. How strong were these maids? She knew 'Gutless' was a maid that once worked under the head maid but now served under her sister, and the others were experts sent by her sister's master to act as maids. Perhaps Gutless was also an expert that was connected to her sister's master. If that was the case than her sister's master had his eyes on her for a very long time. Just thinking about it made Ana nervous, she was thankful to the powerful expert but was afraid that someone was observing them all this time without leaving a clue.

Nisha observed her younger sister and could tell she was nervous about something and assumed that the unpleasant atmosphere might be the cause of it.

"Gutless, you've frightened my little sister." Nisha's gentle voice reverberated in an overbearing manner that cased everybody's body to tremble in extreme agony that pinched their nerves. Ana was unaffected along with Luna and Una, but Gutless was affected. Her face turned pale as beads of sweat dripped from her face. The strain from Nisha's power caused multiple internal wounds invisible to the naked eye. Gutless bowed down in fear instantly.

"I apologize to the young mistress and mistress, please forgive my ignorance!"

"As long you understand,"she nodded pleased with her maid.

Gutless may have been wounded but it wasn't at the extent of anything serious, but it was a light punishment for breaking a rule that she placed on her creations. The rule was never to frighten Ana, she was very young and impressionable, Nisha didn't want to lose the sisterly love that she obtained in this life. While Gutless learned from her light punishment, other people in the hall were all affected by the power that Nisha displayed. Their bones rattled so much is fractured almost in shards. The headmistress held in the fresh blood that wanted to puke onto the floor. She didn't want to offend the Nisha's escorts any further. But the maids that personally served her was in horrible conditions. They vomited blood as if they were a loose water faucet.

The headmistress wanted to kill them, but she was too afraid to speak because if she did, blood would also flow from her mouth. The maids that were in better condition helped the mistress from the floor back to her seat as the others limped and stumbled outside to find a doctor.

The old woman forced a smile while she looked like her life was barely hanging on a thread. The woman sat in her seat staring at the Nisha and Ana, she couldn't wait for them to die a violent and humiliating death. This was the first time she wanted that bastard, Henry to come home sooner.

One of the maids that left earlier to get a doctor came back into the hall with a white glass bottle in her hand. Every step she took was strained and painful to watch, but she made it to the lead mistress of the estate, she bowed and handed the bottle to the headmistress. With her task done she fell to the floor as she proceeded to cough out blood that she held in all this time. The headmistress didn't pay her any mind and stuffed a green pill into her mouth. To Nisha's astonishment, the pill that the miserable old woman put into her mouth was emitting neon green particles around it like the light fixture above their heads. This perked her interest and wondered what effect this pill will have on the mortal.

The wounds that were on the old woman healed fast enough that's visible to the naked eye. Nisha was surprised that the humans of this world were a lot more formidable. They developed a miracle drug that could bring anybody near dead back to life. She wanted to wound the woman before her a few more times to test the extent of the pill, but she decided against it since she was here to enjoy a nice dinner with Ana.

The headmistress smile brightened even though her severe wounds wasn't completely recovered, but it was enough to put up a front.

"Call in new maids to attend to me," She gently called out despite the slight tremble visible in her voice due to the pain.

Shortly afterward, a whole new group of maids properly came in to replace the wounded ones and clean up a large amount of blood that was left on the floor. The new maids were startled to look at the scene before them. There was blood everywhere, and the headmistress looked like someone half beaten her to death but she had a smile of her face. The feelings of confusion and fear lingered within their hearts. They all felt it was best to work quietly as usual since it wasn't their first time to see such a scene with blood and others wounded in the Westhaven estate.

"Please excuse this old woman's unsightly appearance. I will need to freshen up if you need anything please don't hesitate to call upon the servants." She smiled kindly despite her messy looks and made her way out of the hall in a slow-paced to be more elegant, but was clumsily executed to the eyes of the monster maids.

When the headmistress left the hall and she was close to her courtyard, she fell forward as she could no longer pretend to be unwounded. Even with the pill that she was fed with was slow acting and took time to barely treat some of her serious wounds. The maids that followed her stumbled to support her and take her to be treated.
