Inside a dim lighted room, an adult woman wearing a white nightgown, stood beside a window while looking outside. She put her hands on her hips before sighing and rubbing her temples with her other hand.

  "Haysss..."

  It was already nighttime, yet she couldn't find herself wanting to sleep. She was gncing around before suddenly seeing the whip on top of her desk.

  'Come to think of it, that brat is finally leaving this house.'

  She remembered the child who she kept beating for as long as she could remember.

  And just remembering the face of the child makes her remember the mother of the child who was the first wife of her husband.

  "Arghhhh..."

  She clenched her fist while greeting her teeth as she remembered more how her husband treasured his first wife more than her.

  As she thinks more annoyingly about it. She then sighed again and rubbed her temple on her forehead to calm herself down.

  "To be honest, I prefer torturing that brat here rather than selling her to some random count."

  It was her husband's decision to sell the child. She didn't have any say on it as the husband was already set on that.

  She released another sigh before taking a sit on a chair that was near to her.

  .....

  Time passed by and she was just staring at the window for the whole time. She was in deep thinking when suddenly a knock rang from the door.

  *Knock* *Knock*

  !!!?

  'Hmmm!? who is it!? can't they see it's rude to disturb my rest at a time like this!?'

  She was very annoyed, so she turned to the door and called out.

  "Who dares to disturb my rest!?"

  The woman angrily shouted towards the unknown person who knocked on her door. Annoyed, she waited for someone to reply.

  "I am sorry to disturb you rest madam. I am just a humble maid madam, the master has told me to rey a message to you."

  'A message?'

  The woman squinted her eyes curious to what her husband wanted to say to her. She took a quick moment to think before looking to the door again and gave an order.

  "Come in"

  "Thank you, madam."

  Once the woman gave the maid the permission to enter the room, the door opened and there stood a short brown-haired girl wearing a maid uniform. She has a bnk look on her face in which the woman notices and ignores.

  Shortly after, the maid closed the door behind her and went to the side of the room facing the woman.

  "So, what did my husband say"

  The woman was very curious. Her husband does not contact her usually at this time of night. Her husband is too busy doing paperwork so a message coming right now might be that of something important or urgent.

  "Master said that madam should look outside the window"

  "The window?"

  'For what?'

  The woman was asking herself why her husband told her to look out the window. Was there something happening outside? She doesn't have any idea.

  Letting her curiousness get a hold of her, she walked towards the window and began looking outside.

  "Hmmm?"

  The woman squinted her eyes, but she couldn't see anything different or weird happening outside.

  'I don't get it.... What is he trying to show?'

  While still looking outside, she turned around and asked the maid standing behind her.

  "Are you really sure that my husband is telling me to look outside, I am not seeing anything here you know."

  "Please look at the star."

  "The stars?"

  The woman followed the maid's words and looked toward the night sky. There she saw the stars shining through the night. But what's with the star? Is she supposed to see something from it?

  "Is there something on the star?"

  "...."

  "Hey?"

  She was asking the maid but there is no respond, leaving her with an air of silence.

  She furrowed her eyebrows trying to focus more when suddenly, she heard a faint sound of ughter from behind her which caught her by surprise.

  "Fufufu, It's the st starry night that you will see in your life."

  "!!? what!?"

  Her eyes widened as she realized something wrong.

  Hearing the sudden different voice from behind, she quickly turned around and saw the maid rushing towards her with an evil smile.

  "What are you - guhhhfasfr!??"

  Just as she was about to finish her sentence, the maid spped her hand toward the mouth of woman making her voice muffled.

  "Fufu, you better took a good look at it because you won't ever see it again you scum."

  The maid ughed as she watched the woman who is starting to panic. The woman tried to remove the hand but for some reason, it felt very heavy as if it was an immovable solid object that refused to let her go.

  "Mhhhhmmmm!!! Uhggggmmmmm!!!"

  The woman tried to shout for help, but it was to no avail. The only thing she could do is look towards the evil smile of the maid who is gripping her cheeks very tightly.

  "Hmmm what are you saying? I couldn't hear you hehe."

  Shortly after, the maid pushed the woman towards the floor. Once the woman fell, she was quickly pinned down as the maid sat on top of her stomach putting heavy pressure on it.

  The woman being pinned down by the maid, tried to use her arms to push off the maid but again her fist and struggle were futile as the maid just took those punch without flinching.

  "You really are squirming a lot. It's annoying."

  The maid said in an annoyed tone before pulling one of her arms back and clenching her hand into a fist before strongly punching the shoulder of the woman trying to dislocate it.

  "UGHHFFFFFHFHFHFF!!?"

  The woman shouted in pain as she felt the strong wave of pain from her shoulder.

  The maid repeated this movement until she felt that the woman is not moving her arm anymore. She then repeated the dislocation on the other shoulder of the woman. And by repeating this, the room was filled with muffled shout again. Because of the intense pain, the woman cried more and her screams for help became stronger but, in the end, it didn't do anything because the hand on her mouth was heavily pressuring her.

  "You won't go anywhere fufufu"

  "Hufuguguhuhu!"

  Tears spilled from the woman's eyes as fear enveloped her body. She looked towards the maid in horror while the maid just sat there on top of her and giggled as if enjoying this moment.

  "Too bad isn't it? to feel so weak and helpless. I wonder what you are feeling now being on the other short end of the stick~"

  The maid just smirked and enjoyed seeing the woman struggling to break free from her grasp.

  "Well well, it's my turn now hehehe~"

  The woman watched as the maid raised her hand before it started deforming. Seeing this scene, the woman widened her eyes in horror as she saw the hand forming like a bde as big as a table knife.

  "Yeah, this size should do hehe. If it's long, then I might accidentally kill you instantly and I don't want that to happen you know. It would ruin the fun hehe."

  The maid pyfully said before bringing the tip of the knife to the neck of the woman. The cold bde touched the skin of the woman which scared the woman more. It was the sensation of death pying with her life.

  "Nohuhuguhu guhuuu!"

  The face of the maid leaned closer to the woman before smiling again with a cold gaze on her eyes.

  "You see, I was very angry. I watched you beat that girl up everyday, made her cry in pain, and tortured her more as days progressed."

  "MMM!!?"

  "I will teach you what that girl has felt for all her life."

  The woman immediately knew what the maid was talking about. It was the girl that they locked up in this mansion, it was the daughter of the first love of her husband who died after giving birth.

  "It was painful watching her be tortured by you, but now…. finally, I can finally take my anger out to you. Ahhhh this is so satisfying for some reason hahahah!"

  "!!?"

  While talking, the maid then grazed the skin of the woman on her colrbone making the woman shout in pain.

  "GUGHHH!!!!!."

  "Ooops sorry, I couldn't contain myself you know hehe~"

  But it didn't stop there, another part of her skin was scraped by the bde again making the woman wrinkle her body painfully.

  The maid repeated it again while ughing as she watched the woman move her body from the painful stabbing and sshing of the bde.

  "Hahaha you look like a worm being showered by salt. So disgusting~"

  The maid smirked and then continued scraping and stabbing the skin of the woman lightly. It was an eternity of pain and torture for the woman. She screamed all night, but her voice was muffled by the hand of the maid.

  "Hahaha! Painful isn't it? Scary isn't it!? That is part of what that girl is going through every single day! But what you are still experiencing right now is not the full extent of her pain this is just a small portion of it.....hahahaha, well let's make this even more fun. Come and look at me you scum~"

  The woman looked and there she saw the maid smiling before transforming again into another form. But unlike before, what she is now seeing is something she didn't expect and didn't want to see.

  The woman widened her eyes again in horror before screaming more fearfully this time.

  "Huu? UGHHHUGUGUUG!"

  "I wonder if you like it, I mean you should be right? After all it's your precious husband fufufu."

  The maid turned into the figure of her husband, the person that the woman loved so much.

  The woman cried more. Seeing the person that she loves torturing her is enough to break her spirit.

  "Hahahahah. You are so pathetic~"

  The torture became much more intense as the ssh and cut became more heavier than before.

  ....

  The dark room was filled with muffled screams, blood spsh, tears, and also the ughter of a female maid. And as time passed by, the muffled screams became much quieter as the woman's body became much more tired, bloody and broken.

  It didn't take long when the woman finally lost her consciousness and passed out from the pain and blood loss.

  "Done already? Tsk that was fast."

  The figure then transformed again. The hair grew longer and turned white, the eyes from being blue turned to yellow. And the masculine body and face of a man turned into that of a small petite body and a doll-like expressionless face.

  "Well…. I guess I should just kill you now scum."

  ======================

  [P.O.V switch]

  I bnkly looked towards the unconscious woman who I just pyed with on the ground. I am too dissatisfied that the woman broke too easily. I wished her torture her more.

  Sigh...

  "You took the easy way out, scum."

  I then pointed my bde on her forehead and pushed it down.

  "Ga"

  The woman made a faint sound as my bde dug right through her skull with ease. After feeling the floor under the head, I then pulled my dagger back out and it was stained with more blood from the woman.

  "Disgusting ughhhh. "

  I swung my bde to the side trying to remove the blood from the bde. And after doing that, I slowly stood up before closing my eyes.

  "I finally did it Diana..."

  I then opened my eyes again and looked at the dead body before stomping it on the head with my feet.

  "Trash…"

  Well, that's one down….

  Since the woman is dead now, the other one that I want to punish next is the husband or the master of this house.

  Hmm should I do it today or tomorrow? If I do it today, then won't that make any suspicion? It would make a ruckus if the two master of this house is gone after all.

  I deeply pondered about it for a while before finally deciding that I will kill the man tomorrow.

  Now then, maybe I should go back to Diana's room first to check up on her. Besides since I've killed the woman, I can just copy her appearance, and no one will dare to question me. I could already act like what personality she has since she already showed me it when I first knocked on her door.

  Basically, it's the typical arrogant type of noble. The cliche yet normal personality of a corrupt noble in a medieval age.

  Hmmmm let's go back already then.

  I then turned around when suddenly a voice rang inside my head.

  [You forgot to take something important you know~]

  Hmmmm? Aria-sama?

  Aria-sama left me a while ago on the way here. Now that I think about it. I wonder if she saw what I did to that scum.

  [No comment~]

  Well, I guess that's that then..... Well anyways.

  What do you mean by I forgot something?

  If I remember correctly, my only goal here was to punish the woman. What else could I possibly forget?

  [Fufufu it's on the 1st drawer on your right.]

  Drawer?

  I went to the drawer and opened it. There I saw a metal ring with many keys clipped on it. I took it and began wondering where I would use those.

  Since Aria-sama told me to take them, it must open something worth a value, right?

  [Well, those keys have access to the treasury room of that mansion.]

  Treasury room?

  Wait Then that means!

  Hearing that, I smiled and put the keys inside my magic storage bag.

  This will be helpful.

  Having money is a big bonus when it comes to being in an unknown location after all, especially for both me and Diana if we visit cities or town for supplies or any other necessary goods.

  [Also, those keys have access to the door leading to little Diana's room and of course the door of the room where little Diana is located.]

  Ohhh then this is definitely handy no doubt.

  [Yes, and for your extra information. Only three people have the copy of those keys excluding the treasury room of course since it's only for the masters of the mansion. First is of course the head which is the master of that mansion, then her wife, and then the head butler.]

  Ohhh that makes sense….

  [By the way…. Aren't you going to at least hide the body of that woman? Wouldn't it be a problem if her maids see it?]

  Ohh… right….

  I then looked for a pce to hide the woman's body. After a short while of looking around, I finally saw a good pce to hide it, which is the closet inside this room.

  Without wasting any more time. I carried the dead body of the woman and pced it inside the closet.

  This will do. I then closed the door of the closet and transformed myself into the appearance of the woman.Coincidentally, there was a mirror in front of me which reflected my current appearance.

  Ughhhh…..

  For some reason I feel sick seeing her face right now. But even so, I need to use this appearance while walking so I should probably force myself to adapt to it for the mean time.

  ..... Well let's go back now. She might be still awake and a waiting for me.

  And just like that, I left the room and went my way back towards the path where Diana's room is located.
