"Where is that troublemaker?! Get her here right now!" suddenly yelled Minister Levine as soon as he arrived at his manor. The servants immediately scampered away when they saw how their master was in a bad mood.
"What is going on here, dear?" asked Celestine who pretended to know nothing but was smirking inwardly, pleased that Esmeree is going to have a taste of the wrath of her husband.
"That good for nothing... that daughter of mine... tell me why did I agree with you bring her back? Did you know how much humiliation I suffered? Those old ministers... I am angry, I am too angry! Get that girl right now!" barked her husband again.
"Calm down, dear," she said to him while patting his back before she turned towards one of her maids and ordered her to summon Esmeree to their courtyard.
