Chapter 593 Chapter 592: Deciding Her Fate

Hearing the Cowkin cough behind us, we all turned to stare at her in silence, making the woman shuffle around awkwardly as she tried to make herself seem smaller, only to fail miserably as her clasped arms and pose enunciated her two large breasts and displayed the mouth watering curves of her lower body.

It took just a mere second of her being like that for Mother and I to glance at our respective partners and pinch their waists, since we knew them too well and understood that they would be looking at the two mountains that jiggled as Bessie turned away, her cheeks a seductive red.

We also knew that they were only just looking, but even that felt like a crime against us, so we pinched them again and made the two Demoness' hiss in pain as we glared up at them, before we looked towards the Cowkin, our unappreciative stares making her unclasp her arms and stand ramrod straight, like she was facing a drill sergeant.

The Countess just snorted as she witnessed what Mother and I did at the same time, the Elven woman smirking at her wife and daughter before turning to stare at the Cowkin, saying "We do still need to figure out what to do with you, no? Iron out the specifics of your contract and make sure you understand just where you stand now..."

Bessie shuddered as the Elf stared her down, with the Countess chuckling and saying "Ah, there's no need to be afraid, dear. We can be quite fair and accepting, so long as you don't try and seduce someone; that won't end well for you... but, I trust that you aren't that much of an idiot~?"

The Cooking nodded rapidly, stuttering "Y-Y-You d-don't n-need to worry about me, Ma'am! U-Um, my Lady!"

"Hmm~? There's no need to be nervous, dear. Relax... Now, Chordeva, what exactly was the salary of our recent hires again? I only memorized what we give out to our long term servants..."

She moved back to sit on one of the couches, gesturing for us all to join her - even Bessie, who continued to try and stand before reluctantly taking a seat on a chair nearby - as we began to discuss the fate of the Cowkin woman... right in front of her.

"Base salary... was roughly 15 Gold a month, or 50 Silvers a day. That is in pure profits since room and board is included inside of their contract with our House, and they don't technically pay for it, so all 15 Gold is theirs to do with as they please."

The Countess nodded, before smiling at me as she asked "Katherine, could you brew up a pot of tea for us, dear?"

I got up without question, frowning slightly as I walked away since I was unaccustomed to how leisurely the Countess was now acting, though she cut away that confusion as she said "Don't act too surprised now, Katherine. You're no longer a servant of House Asmodia, but instead a subsidiary Family that has marital ties to us. Of course things have changed~!"

For a moment I froze again at hearing her say that, before smiling and nodding as I made my way over to the kitchenette, where I began to brew a large pot of tea for us all, whilst still listening to the conversation.

"Anyways, Bessie, correct? You won't be getting the same salary off the start, but instead 10 Gold a month, which is around 30 Silvers a day. Half of that is being deposited into an account under your name, so only 5 Gold coins will find their way into your hands every month. If you want to bank them as well, you can do so yourself inside of Phobos City, where most of the servants go on their off days. However, you cannot withdraw anything from the account until the five years is up, so spend your money wisely. Now, as for what you are going to do..."

The Countess trailed off when Mother tapped her arm, allowing Mother to speak as she suggested "Why don't we place her under the 'Zara Family' instead? Leave her to me and Katherine to train as we see fit for the next five years, though still paid by you..."

I looked back to see the Countess frowning softly at Mother's suggestion, though the Marquess was nodding as she said "Not a bad idea; technically, amongst all of the servants inside of House Asmodia, none who are amongst the best have much free time to train or guide a new servant, and she could instead be your handmaiden? Someone to help do all of the menial tasks for you whilst receiving guidance from someone who was an excellent maid as well, sort of like an apprenticeship? Albeit a forced one, but..."

The Demoness grinned as she stared at the Cowkin, who shuddered again as the Marquess finished with a growl "Not like you have much of a choice in the matter."

"Ahem... Anyways, Bessie, besides signing a myriad of contracts with both myself and Chordeva, you would be bound via mana to not harm myself or anyone else on our estate unless they themselves are attempting to hurt you or express interest in hurting anyone else. This can all be further ironed out when we get back to March Asmodia, but this is just a preview of what is to come for you. Any questions?"

Gulping, Bessie remained quiet for a moment before hesitantly asking "N-None of the other servants would try to... bully me or shun me, right..?"

The Marquess snorted as she replied "No, unless you act like an idiot and mess up their work. I weed out those vain enough to have a false sense of seniority amongst my guards, servants, and others due to how unreliable they tend to be, and I'm not alone in that regard. Many of the senior members of my staff refuse to let such vanity go unpunished, so don't worry. But, if you make too many mistakes or simply act like a fool, I cannot promise that they won't look down on you. They take pride in their work, so stamping on that pride is foolish. As long as you show a desire to improve and show any actual effort, everyone should treat you well enough."

That made the Cowkin breathe out a sigh of relief, and it marked the end of that part of the conversation.

Quick question/survey :

IF you ARE a premium reader, have you considered not renewing your premium with this novel and why?

IF you WERE a premium reader and no longer are, why did you stop? Was it a loss of interest, lack of $, of something else?

IF you AREN'T a premium reader, is it because you are a free reader with fast passes, or is it just because you are alright with waiting to read all the chapters?

These apply to today (When this released) and the future, mainly because I am curious, but also because I am wondering about the dip in premium readers (from roughly ~125 2-3 months ago to barely 50 this month)
