YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia

Chapter 93: Sudden Events

The night was deep, there were barely any sounds to be heard other than the gentle hushing of the and the lonely chirping of the birds as they went about their lives. It was another peaceful night.

Inside a certain mansion in an excessively gaudy room, there was a woman in her late thirties, looking at the window with empty eyes. Her name was Vilma von Beldon, the same marchioness who had an argument with the Headmaster of the Royal Academy several days ago.

The humiliation she felt that day was unlike any other. She had never felt so defeated that she had to retreat. The humiliation that day had driven her mad as she couldn't do anything against the Headmaster even if she wanted to. She had never felt so powerless, especially to someone she considers lower than herself.

"Rita, I want to rest. Leave me be for the moment." ［Vilma］

"As you wish, Madam." ［Rita］

Heeding the marchioness' command, the maid silently left the room after bowing her head. She was calm and dignified like how she was supposed to be. Truly fitting for a maid serving in a noble household.

The maid's name was Rita, a commoner who was picked up by the marchioness to become a servant of her mansion. It was the marchioness' grace which increased her stature in life.

The marchioness of the Beldon household had always been benevolent towards commoners as she was one herself. She was someone who many people looked up to, someone who many people respect, someone who many people loveー well, used to love.

No one knows what the reason was, but ever since a couple of years ago, the marchioness' personality slowly changed into something that is contradictory to her previous self. It was a change no one expected.

Over the course of time, the marchioness became a hypocrite who loathes and sneers at commoners, she became someone who judges people by their status, someone who treats those who are of lower stature as her like trash, someone who only associates herself with people of the same status.

Her change, a couple years ago happened the same time she had picked up Rita to become one the household's servants. It wasn't just a coincidence. The reason for her change was Rita who she trusts the most.

Without batting an eye to her surroundings, Rita continued heading towards her room. The moment she arrived, she immediately closed the room, not letting anyone in nor see what was inside.

"Tsk! It's that new instructor's fault! If it wasn't for her, the plan would have gone without a hitch!" ［Rita］

Baaannnngggg

A loud bang resounded throughout the room as Rita hit the table with both of her fists, knocking over everything that was on top of it. Her face was painted red with so much anger that she might explode at any moment.

The reason for her anger was simple, it was because her plan's progress had been slowed down, and the reason was none other than the Headmaster and new instructors of the Royal Academy.

Rita was a practitioner of curse magic, and ever since she was young, she had been creating concoctions that would slowly poison the mind of a person. She has been using her talent to control the Marchioness.

She wasn't just alone. She was a part of a heinous organization which sought to rule the world with the use of demonic beasts, Iblis. Her mission was to infiltrate a noble's household and take control of it, destroying the kingdom from the inside.

The plan has been made for several years already. From meeting the Marchioness up until the current time, it was all planned. And it wasn't only her, other people were also planted in other households.
