As the guests where happily chatting near the buffet table, the two maids added up the menu by serving steamed lobsters and bisque of clam soup.
"Do you think they will like it?"Betty ask.
"Of course,they will poke for the lobsters first rather than other dishes."Angela replied.
Mikki,who job's not only a sentinel, but also a footman,assisted Vincent in arranging the chairs,his strength was helpful enough to finish the job done.
"There,that would be enough for them."
Vincent replied.
"You may go back to your post,Mikki."
"Call me when you have something necessary."Mikki bowed and left.
In the other hand,the two minor servants, Elle and Charlie,locked themselves on a cabinet compartment near the guests.
"We were frequently told by Mr. Vincent to stay out of sight. But at the same time we need to help Mr. Mikki too in doubling the security."Charlie replied.
"Hump hump..."Elle responded as by it means of her agreement.
Finally, Lady Ethel's presence was announced,she was wearing a beautiful white and gold dress,her hair was perfectly arranged and not exaggerated in any part. Vincent need to assist her, cautious that she might get tripped due to the narrow heels that she's wearing.
"Apologies for my absence a while ago. Because I attended on a important appointment."She formally explained.
"We accepted your excuse Lady Ethel,for your beauty is undeniable."One of the guests gave her a praise.
"Thank you, gentlemen."She bowed as hiding her face with her fan, Vincent knows that they were playing games.
A few minutes pass,when the guests started to eat,a lot was so amazed that how tasty the food was- specially the Salisbury steak meat imitation that Angela and Vincent cooked.
"This was the most delicious high grade meat I ever tasted! and tender too."
"We appreciate the praise,Monseur." Vincent smiled.
"Guess I could thank Angela for that later."He whisper silently.
"Your such a total genius Angela! no one hasn't even notice that the steaks were made from soybeans."
"That's the art of being a kitchen maid!"
She said in ego,for the two was peeking in the room.
However, during the lull,both Charlie and Elle hear this ominous whispers:
"She deserves to be terminated on her title!"
"She's corrupted,a cancer!"
"Duchess Of Sensuous Evil!"
"Do you hear this Elle?"Charlie asked.
Elle nodded,they confirmed that some of the guests are planning something sinister on Lady Ethel.
"We need to warn them right away!"
The two came out to the cabinet compartment without making any noise,
luckily,the guests don't notice them because they were too accupied with other pursuits.
"Let's go Elle,"They ran to the corridor to find Mikki.
Meanwhile,one of the Frenchmen, Jaques Faulkner was whispering their plans for ambush when Vincent distrupted their conversation.
"Sorry to bother you, Monseur. My mistress whishes to see you, please follow me."Vincent motioned as he follow him out the room.
Meanwhile, when the two found Mikki on the hallway who was just patrolling, Charlie screamed:
"Mr. Mikki!"
"Oh, Charlie,Elle, what's on the rush?"
"We had to tell you something,"Both were huffing.
"Some of the guests were backfiring the mistress! they even wish to kill her!"
To Mikki's reaction,he suddenly burst out laughing, Charlie and Elle looked to each other: The sentinel thinks it's funny.
"But Mr. Mikki, we were 'not' joking!"
"Oh you two..."He said when he stops laughing.
"I have forgotten to explain it for you Charlie,it was normal that they backstab a aristocrat, maybe because they don't agree to them sometimes, so it's best that we understand their political views."
"Oh...so it's normal?"
"Yes,it's completely normal. And for second thought: Lady Ethel is not actually friendly to French people."
"Oh..."Charlie mumbled.
"Do you I react to much,Elle?"
In respond,she shrugged her shoulders.
"Now now,you two. You better reunite with Betty and Angela or else Vincent will be mad again..." He told them as he patted their shoulders.
"Okay...we guest..."Charlie said as they left.
While Mikki was waving them,his serene expression wrinkled in concern.
"I wish that's enough to call them down."
On Lady Ethel's suit. She and Faulkner was playing chess. Lady Ethel was having trouble in playing chess though.
"So Faulkner,may I ask you something?"
Things are coming out eerie to the man.
"Um...yes?"He asked.
"May I know what were those 'tales' about me?"She asked,with a grim smile across her pink lips.
"Tales? what tales Madame? I don't remember any rumors about you."
"Just asking... because...I was prone to be backfired. Literally because I'm a duchess since."
"Then why you asked me?"
"Because...I heard a inappropriate name calling for me, tarnishing my title. Like...'Duchess of Sensuous Evil' I guess?"She ventured.
This freak him out that he excused himself in the room.
"What a wicked Duchess!"he cursed.
At the same time,he was met by Vincent as he ask:
"Are you alright, Monseur?"
Eventually,he ignores him as he walks away. Lady Ethel came out to the room then asks him:
"Where is he?"
"He left,mistress."He replied.
"He thought,I won't know anything...well I'll be going to my room,and please..."She turned.
"Serve me pie, because I'm hungry."
"Yes,"
As then she walks away.
Meanwhile when the man was walking,he noticed that corridors are so unfamiliar to him. Unlike were the butler escorted him.
"Where's the way out?"
"These corridors are hard to memorize,I can't remember where the Manservant escorted me."
When he's walking,he started to notice that his path was starting to distort, as he heard this creepy singing:
"Here,here the treacherous thief,
trying to lie,for what he has done,
for he deserves the punishment,the
punishment will be:Roast to the
flames!"
He was unnerved,he was familiar that the echoing voice he heard was from a ghost,he run as fast as he can until he falls down into something:He noticed that he was on a strange compartment.
Until someone peeked as he recognized:It was the butler.
"Looks like we caught a roach!"He exclaimed.
"Poor thing,I was about to bake a pie,but now it's ruined."
"Please let me out of here!"
"What does it say?"Angela also peeked.
"Mr. Vincent,I think he's saying that he wants to be food? what can you say?"
"Well...roast him up until his crispy."
"What! wait no?! no!!"
Angela added the firewood and bellows as the flame became stronger. The man was screaming in agony for he was cooked inside the oven. As how the song indicated.
"He crossed the line,what now Vincent?"
"Time to kill I guess..."
Meanwhile, when Lady Ethel returned to her room,she was shook that there was an arm that grab her mouth. The hankerchief eventually has some sort of sleeping drug that made her unconscious.
