The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 52 Incident at a tea party

On his birthday, the hall of Abraham's residence was filled with many nobles from various circles. The women wore beautiful dresses and the men did not want to lose because they were also dressed luxuriously.

Isabella was wearing a dress given by Jovan. But he stood alone in the corner of the room, he did not want to mingle with strangers.

Even when the dance time came no one invited Isabella to dance, it was unfortunate that her fate was not considered at all.

After all the events were finished finally the last event arrived which was the gift giving, all the gifts from various nobles were very expensive. But there is nothing as expensive as the gift of Isabella, Vanessa gives the best quality clothes as a gift, then the twins give a special shirt sleeve kanci equipped with jewels. Because these are handmade twins so there is only one in the world.

Not long after Jovan came with a small box and his servant brought a large box, the small box contained a peacock feather pen when the peacock feather was very expensive. Then the second prize, a crescent sword with a price of 300,000 gold pieces, managed to shake the hall. Isabella smiled slightly and immediately left the hall, because her reason for staying in the hall was no longer there.

"W-what is real?" inner emperor, that sword was 2 times more expensive than his sword.

"You brought 2 gifts this expensive. What are you thinking?" cedric grouse. He refused to accept the sword.

"This sword isn't actually from me, he said don't tell me if it's a gift it's just that I can't hide this truth. Actually this sword is not my gift but from Isabella" replied Jovan.

Everyone present became even more shocked because it was an unexpected gift from the notoriously ruthless noble lady, all eyes in the hall were instantly searching for where Isabella was. But it's a pity, because Isabella was gone when Jovan came.

"Where did he get that expensive sword? This Isabella is not a careless woman, I must make the woman side with Babylon, "inner empress.

"Akhs! freshly," Isabella's cheers sipped the wine straight from the bottle, "Drinking wine after a bath is indeed the best. You want Selina?"

Selina styled Isabella with a disgusted expression, Isabella was made to laugh out loud by that expression.

"What's wrong with you?" isabella asked, wiping her tears from laughing too much.

"You're seriously offering wine from your old bottle? you slovenly," upset Selina.

"Snorts? what's so dirty? don't you want to drink from the same bottle as a pretty girl like me?" the successful Canda Isabella gets a pillow throw from Selina.

"I'll go get a snack." Selina just left Isabella's room.

"Take? how can you take a snack with your lizard shape, you Selina, "inner Isabella.

Isabella opened the door to the balcony terrace, where she sat while enjoying the breeze blowing.

Chequelek

The sound of Isabella's door opening, Isabella thought it was Selina because the servants were busy with the party.

"Did you get your snack, Selina? I asked for a few pieces" said Isabella. But not the answer from anyone, "Selina? are you sleeping?"

There was still no immediate answer Isabella felt that something was strange, with great care Isabella got up from her seat and walked slowly and peered into the room.

"D-dad?" inner Isabella was surprised, she would not have guessed if Cedric would come to her room.

Isabella sighed softly before she stepped into the room, "What are you doing in my room?"

Cedric looked at Isabella with a hard-to-understand look, there was disappointment, sadness, and a hint of affection from Cedric's gaze.

"If you want to say something, just say it if you don't, then come out" he continued.

Cedric said nothing and placed the crescent sword on Isabella's dresser.

"What's this?" ask Isabella.

"I don't accept any gifts from you. Jovan said it was a gift from you, he could never lie even if you forced him to" Cedric replied.

"dumped it? an expensive sword like this will you just throw away? why are you so arrogant?"

"I bought it with my money instead of your money so you have no right to say I'm arrogant for throwing away the sword, after all it's a scrap sword that just spoils the beauty of my collection. Take it if you want otherwise just throw it away, and losing one cheap sword won't make me poor."

"What'sthis? will the conversation between us always be like this? why does it hurt," Cedric felt a tightness in his chest.

"Thank you for the gift." Cedric took the sword back and left.

Selina who was secretly eavesdropping on their conversation was also feeling sad for Cedric, even after the debate Selina saw Isabella close the door to the balcony terrace and then turn off all the candles in her room and go up to the bed and even cover herself to the head.

"What does he really feel? is he hurt?" inner Selina who did not dare to go into the room, she decided to enter after Isabella fell asleep.

*****

The next day Carolina and Charlotte had a tea party at the gazebo, Isabella who was walking in the park instead interested in joining the party.

"Well, are these sisters? tea party?" isabella's question made the noble ladies' attention on her.

"Sister? what's brother doing here? it's not polite to interrupt a tea party hosted by someone else let alone brother not invited" Charlotte said.

"I was invited. Where is this tea party? in my father's residence so my residence too right, then I can join. Is anyone feeling disturbed?" Isabella looked at the ladies with a sharp look, of course they could not resist because they were all afraid of Isabella.

With Isabella happily sitting on an empty chair that the owner could not attend, Isabella's presence changed the atmosphere of the party that had been cheerful to tense.

"Pour tea!" isabella orders the servant standing behind her. But the servant was silent, acting as if he had not heard Isabella's orders.

"Hey! pour tea!" repeat Isabella.

Isabella hit the table and stood up to the waiter, "Are you deaf? what did I say?"

"I'm sorry, miss. But I am not your servant, I am here only to serve Miss Carolina" the maid replied casually.

"Geez brother, why do you like to look for trouble? brother came without being invited then now ka ... akh! hot hot hot hot." Spontaneous Carolina immediately jumped up and down because of the hot tea that hit her skin. Isabella snatched the teapot in her servant's hand and doused it on Carolina to silence the girl's mouth.

The noble ladies all instantly rose from their place, they trembled in fear witnessing firsthand Isabella's cruelty.

"You're here!" call Charlotte to the knight on guard, "Take Miss to her room and get a doctor."

"Well miss." The knights along with all the servants in the gazebo left together.

Charlotte turned to look at Isabella with a hateful expression, "What you did this time was really too late, all this time I was always patient with your attitude. But not anymore, I don't just keep quiet looking at this kind of attitude."

"I didn't do that for no reason. You saw the servant's attitude towards me yourself, then why are you even angry?"

"The wrong thing is that the servant is not the master, so it's only natural that I get angry with my sister because her innocent brother hurt my sister."

"I did not hurt him but punished him, for he could not properly educate his servants. The attitude of a servant reflects the attitude of his master."

"If 1 servant I law then there will be 10 disrespectful servants who take turns, because their master cannot properly educate them. Instead of me tired of punishing all the servants one by one, it is better to go directly to the master alone to make it easier enough once" continued Isbaella.

"Hmmm!" Charlotte didn't say anything more, everything Isabella said made sense. And if her mother finds out she's arguing with Isabella because of that stupid Carolina, then she's gonna be punished, too.
