Drunkard Becomes the Villain's Step Mother

Versus Pacita 2

Pacita stands near her room's veranda and watches the sun rising in the sun.

The maids come to help her dress up.
They all blushes when they see her standing near the veranda only wearing a thin sleeve nightgown.

"Madame!"
All the maids fuss.

Pacita didn't mind and just walk to their side.

"I think today I will wear black and red."

This is so villainess-y.
With her strong personality, wearing soft colored dress really making her feel like she is wronging herself.

After that she walk to the garden then feel bored.

The maids gave her a bottle of wine and a wine glass.

"Thank you." Pacita smiles.
They already know what to give her when she is bored.

Actually she is not drinking wine almost every hour of her stay here but she is drinking wine mostly when bored.

She went to see Amadeus and his new instructor in swordsmanship.

A handsome middle aged man is standing behind Amadeus giving him instruction.

Compare to the previous instructor this looks legit lesson.

She asks the servants and maid to give her a chair, table and put up a large shade.
She will watch the swords play.
This time it looks like she will see real swords play.

Of course, Amadeus and Ligar know that she is watching but they didn't bother to look at her, totally ignoring her presence.

"Madame, Baron Vincent is here."

Pacita looks up.
Her eyes are a bit misty but she is still clear headed.
Her face is red and looks more tender.

"Baron Vincent who?" She pouts.

"Instructor Zupan's sponsor."

Pacita looks at the worried butler.
"Zupan Who?"

The butler sighs.
"The one Madam kick out for his incompetence."

"......ah! The cry baby?" Pacita grins.
"Good. Let him in."

"But...."

"Don't be too hard on him. I will handle it." Pacita smiles.

The butler is confuse with her choice of words but says nothing more. He instructed the maid to send the Baron to the receiving area but Pacita refuse to move.
"Just send him here."

The butler nods.

Amadeus stops swinging his sword.
Though he looks like he is focus he is paying attention elsewhere.

"Young Master, focus your mind." Ligar said seriously

Amadeus grits his teeth and nods.
He shouldn't worry about that woman anyways.
This is the Duke's house.
Who would wronged the House Madam?

"Greetings, Duchess."

Pacita smiles at him.
"Oh. So you are Baron Vincent."

The Baron wanted to snort but hold himself back.

"Yes. I am here about what happened to the instructor I sent here."

"Yes. I know. Don't be too sad Baron. Even though you choose an incompetent person to teach my son as my husband's loyal vassal, I will not blame you."

Baron frowns.
"What?"

Pacita chuckles.
"Don't be too shock. I am really this benevolent. Hohoh." She said laughing with poise.
