Lady Syklon stepped into the crooked hallways leading to her office, whilst this room was the sole one on the floor, and also the smallest floor by far, it was still filled with countless hallways, all either led right to the office, or to nowhere, one needed to be approved by the lady to be allowed entry here.
However, as she followed the sound, she discovered that whatever creature it was, it had bypassed that simple rule and was moving around freely, just as he was trying to cut it off in its path, it took another hallway completely and found its way right into her office.
'Are the little things exempt from the restriction?' she wondered, not worried much about this thing infiltrating the most important room of this entire manor, it was clearly nothing worth getting riled up about, rats and insects certainly carried out their functions better than the numerous idiots working for her.
She didn't even suspect this little thing she was hearing to actually be a disguised intruder, inside this manor and especially on the top floor, even The Death Dealer wouldn't be able to stay concealed.
Arriving back into her office as quickly as she left it, she scanned the room, the sounds stopped shortly after entering, but that was enough for her to know exactly where it had stopped, pushing over a small table, the small lady looked down at the uninvited guest, or rather, at where it was supposed to be, there was a hole in the ground instead, looking like someone dropped some acid on the floor.
"That's it, I am revoking each of their rights" speaking as her face scrunched up, even with an ugly expression and a vein popping on her forehead, Lady Syklon still looked positively adorable, like a kitten hissing, her bite would be otherwise more devastating however.
Clearly, the men in charge of looking over the monsters had messed up again, they had already been lucky to only get their arms broken when they let loose a cyclops, now it was time to demonstrate what it meant to damage the ground of her own office.
She breathed in and out.
"Gather!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice ringing out throughout the entirety of the manor, but was only heard by the guards, the clients and partygoers utterly clueless of the situation.

"You think you can just commit a mistake like this? Don't answer you idiot, keep it shut, of course you can't, show me your hands" she commanded him, and he did as ordered without question, genuinely terrified of her, beginning to tremble.
Lady Syklon was unpredictable with her punishments, she could be generous and let someone go with just some chastising, or uproot your entire family tree, her mood was impossible to gauge, leading most to believe that she just decided on the sanction at random.
"Well, would you look at that! Soft and without any blemish, like a baby's, have tou ever worked a day in your life, you fucking stain?" not expecting any answer, her arm moved for a split second, her hand resting on the hilt of a sword as the arms of the lousy worker fell cleanly off, cut right at the shoulders.
"Healers, reattach his arms on the wrong spot, let us see what the final form of incompetence looks like" she spat on the ground, motioning for the bleeding man to clear off.
"You'll clean up your mess later"
She turned back to the rest of her workforce, somehow even more still than before, now was not the time to make even the smallest of mistakes, their lady shined a pretty smile at them.
"Now, go find the critter, be efficient, any slackers will have to find a good explanation, out of my sight" she gave her order and they all spread out into groups without asking any question.
'Ah, I should just invest in some golems...' she rubbed the bridge of her nose.
