Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 78
“Isn’t it obvious what my lady will say!”
Giada shouted, but Ariadne coldly dismissed Giada’s objection. She merely cast a sidelong glance at Giada, then looked down at her fingernails as if bored.
“Giada, I need a place to store the leftover materials from my last debutante ball. One ought to be thrifty with things. As you well know, this household has far too many surplus items. And yet, Mother bought so many new things again this month.”
“What on earth are you talking about…?”
“I also happen to know that salted fish from Taranto is due to arrive next week.”
When Lucrezia’s direct money transfers to the Rossi family were blocked, she began purchasing local specialties from Taranto as a workaround. Undoubtedly, Lucrezia was overpaying for Taranto’s specialties—salted fish included—far above market value.
“Fresh fish is always tastier than preserved, isn’t it? And His Eminence the Cardinal surely prefers live fish over salted. Wouldn’t you agree?”
It was a veiled threat: if Giada resisted, Ariadne would expose Lucrezia’s schemes. Ariadne fixed Giada with a steady gaze.
“Go ask Mother outright whether it truly is her wish not to grant me the kitchen back room.”
She silently intensified her stare, wordlessly pressuring Giada: if Lucrezia’s illicit payments to Taranto were discovered, she would blame it all on Giada—could Giada really bear that?
Since Ariadne didn’t hold Giada’s intelligence in high regard, she kindly spelled it out verbally as well.
“And if it turns out this isn’t actually Mother’s intention, I’d prefer you stop pestering me with such trivial matters. Wouldn’t it be counterproductive if, in your eagerness to prove your loyalty, you start stirring up trouble everywhere and end up causing inconvenience for the very person you serve?”
Giada, the head maid, hadn’t expected Ariadne to confront her so aggressively and took a step backward. Her eyes darted around, unsure where to look, until she finally fled in a flustered panic.
After that, whether due to Lucrezia’s orders or not, none of Lucrezia’s maids bothered Ariadne again.
Sancha marveled aloud as she installed a massive lock on the kitchen back room—one for which only they held the key.
