4 Fate’s Last Joke 1

Running into her third sister Saphira and her cousin Edvard did not bode well for Jayde, every time she came across them, they would torment her. The whole Freehold clan hated her, they blamed her for all the snide remarks that the people of Arvia said behind their backs. Some of the clan members believed that Jayde was a calamity waiting to happen, that she would bring a disaster to the family if she was allowed to stay, many pushed for her to be expelled from the Estate while others demanded that she be killed before a disaster be-felled the clan.

Za'thul refused to allow Jayde to be driven from the clan, by no mistake was it any soft feelings he had for his daughter, he was worried that should Jayde not be under the clan's control that someone would be able to perform a blood rite spell and that it would be found out she was actually his daughter. Never mind the embarrassment that would bring to the clan, but he would be charged with falsely accusing his wife and murder charges.The only reason he did not have her killed was that legend said that killing your child or parent, you would face judgment from the gods, which would bring a huge calamity to your family. Whether that was true or not, Za'thul did not have the courage to find out. So all he could do and pray was that Jayde would die of natural causes in the pits, but she somehow has seemed to have stubbornly hung onto life, even after he arranged for Old Man Zhek death.

Seeing Saphira and Edvard, Jayde tried to backtrack her steps, but she seemed to have used up all her luck today, as they quickly noticed her.

"Hey, it's that disgusting bastard," Edvard said turning to Saphira.

"Ugly bitch," Saphira said laughing snidely.

"Hey bastard, get your arse over here" Edvard shouted.

Jayde had no choice but to walk over to the two. Disobeying one's "owners" could lead to a slave losing a layer of skin.

Bowing down Jayde quietly greeted them "Young Master, Young Mistress, what do you need?"

Ignoring Jayde, Saphira and Edvard leaned closer together, after much discussion and whispering, Saphira and Edvard had come up with their diabolical plan. With an evil glint in his eyes, Edvard ordered Jayde "The ancestor's library is filthy, go and clean it up".

"A...a-ncestor's library? But no-one is allowed to enter without permission" Jayde stuttered. Knowing that her third sister and cousin had come up a new way to get her into trouble.

"You useless piece of trash, are you refusing to follow your master's orders?"Saphira asked belligerently.

"N...n-o" Jayde tried to deny. "But Head Housekeeper said that no-one..."

"Who is more senior, Head Housekeeper or us?" Edvard interrupted.

Knowing that is was useless to argue, Jayde lowered her head and whispered "I will see it done, Young Master"

"Either way I am not getting out of this without a beating," Jayde thought to yourself. "At least Head Housekeeper will only have her beaten, while Saphira and Edvard would have her lose a couple layers of skin for disobeying them.

Turning away quickly, Jayde made her way to the library, Saphira and Edvard followed her smirking at each other. There was going to be a good show to see that they didn't want to miss it.
