"It's great that you're joining us, Esther."

"I'm honored to be invited to the tea party, Madam Maria"- Esther smiled

"What honor? I don't want to come here at all"- Esther thought

A few hours ago, Esther was sitting near a tree enjoying the fresh air when a poisonous arrow flew, which she quickly caught with two fingers on the arrow that was tied with a letter.

"Try again next time, young mistress!"- Esther shouted

"UGH!!!!"- An angry voice replied from afar

"Hm, what a child, need more practice, can't be rushed"- Esther took out the letter and read it

After reading for a while, her fresh face turned scary, she crumpled the letter.

"Tea party? That crazy whore wants to invite me?" - Esther burned the letter

A tea party is a small gathering where people get together to eat cake, drink tea and chat with each other but tea parties in Agriche are a bit different. Usually at the tea party, women often wear dresses and men wear luxurious clothes, for a tutor like Esther, she refuses to wear a dress because it is very entangled and colorful. So she wears a tailored uniform.

Back in the present, Esther was sipping tea to enjoy while the other women were chatting happily among themselves.

"I want to leave quickly, but I don't want to stay in this crazy place...."- Esther tried to keep her composure

Of all Lord Lant's wives, the third, Maria, was the one she wanted to stay away from the most. Esther's first impression of her was the appearance of a young and beautiful woman. The first time the two talked, Esther smelled the blood behind the perfume, her face always smiling and optimistic, she knew it was all fake. Her hobby was killing people and sewing them together into dolls she thought were beautiful, and sometimes she heard screams of horror in her basement. Not only that, she is very noisy and annoying always trying to approach Esther.

"Esther, I heard you helped my son to get first place right? As a thank you, I prepared a very special dessert just for you" - Madam Maria

"Thank you, Madam Maria, I'm just doing my duty as a tutor"- Esther smiled

"This is a cake coated with syrup mixed with fresh blood of the maid who died yesterday, she is very young without a lover, her eyes are also very beautiful so in order not to miss a special part, I cut out her eyes to make these two lovely cherries" - Maria

The plate of cake placed in front of her was round, covered with scarlet strawberry syrup, the eyes were placed side by side with two mint leaves placed on it, the eyes that hadn't removed the veins still smelled some flavor is hidden deep in the dish. She smiled faintly because she had guessed this childish trick.

"Madam Maria, do you know why I accepted to become a tutor for the Agriche family?" - Esther

"Why is that?" - Madam Maria

"To teach children how scary the world is, for example an ordinary family with husban and wife with two children. They will teach the kids about the good things about the world, but Those innocent children don't know what the outside world looks like. When they grow up and step out into the world, they realize that good things are only in story" - Esther

"What a sad story"- Another wife

"Sounds pitiful, doesn't it?" - Madam Maria

"In this world nothing is fair, the strong trample on the weak, the big fish eat the small fish, the rich live in luxury and the poor wander, the wise live stupid and die...... ..If Madam Maria is a smart and intelligent person, then you should remember that the honey in this cake that has not been pasteurized will contain grayanotoxin, a poison that causes vomiting and dizziness"- Esther began to eat the cake.

"Oh my, I forgot about that, let me change the cake" - Madam Maria surprised

"There's no need, after all, Madam Maria's kindness can't be wasted. Can't poison me, so Madam Maria feels sorry for killing the maid yesterday, right?" - Esther played with her eyes with her fork

"This is...."- Madam Maria stammered

"Don't worry, Madam Maria, I don't want that maid to be reincarnated at all, because I hate her as much as I hate you." - Esther smiled in horror.

"Is that so? I don't know that......." - Madam Maria

*Slam*

There was a knock on the table, Esther leaning her whole body on both hands towards Madam Maria, her blood red pupils looked straight into Madam Maria's purple eyes.

"It's one of the types of people that annoys me the most. Loud and annoying, every time I get upset I usually silence them, but I want to hear their screams first, imagine if I could. look, if I use this hand to gouge out your eyes, how will you scream?" Esther put her eyes on her hands and licked them with her long tongue.

The atmosphere around the tea party completely changed, no one said anything or moved at all, Madam Maria thought that someone like Esther was a very naive person but she was completely wrong. Behind that innocent appearance is a real devil. At first she didn't believe the rumors about Esther, but when she saw it, she realized how terrifying it was, those blood red pupils as if they wanted to eat her alive.

Madam Maria saw how small she was, as if she saw herself as a dish and Esther as the one to eat her.

"I wonder what Madam Maria tastes like?"- Esther

"Ah......Ah....."- Madam Maria opened her eyes wide and speechless

"Is Teacher Esther here?"- A child's voice called out

"Young master Ashil, what's the point of looking for me?" Esther smiled

The atmosphere returned to normal when a child entered, all the wives felt more comfortable, but Madam Maria was still in shock. Esther stood up after finishing her dessert.

"Thank you Madam Maria for inviting me today, please forgive me because I have a lot of work to do and can't have time to join the tea party, if you want to invite, please choose the right time" - Esther

Esther walked away from the tea party and sighed, a tug at her shirt that caught her attention.

"What's wrong, young master Ashil?" - Esther

"Teacher Esther feeling tired?" asked Ashil with a worried face

"It's okay, I have to thank you for pulling me out of that meaningless conversation. So what's the business of the young master looking for me?" - Esther

"Actually......my mother is pregnant, I don't know if it's a brother or a sister but I want to ask Teacher Esther something. Please help me become stronger" - Ashil

"Young master Ashil, I can teach you the current lessons but if you want to learn more advanced things then it's very difficult for someone like you"- Esther narrowed her eyes.

Ever since the young master Ashil was born, she felt that this child was not cruel at all, actually so pure that Esther must feel pity for this young master.

"You haven't even tried to kill me, so it's going to be difficult"- Esther put her hand on her chin

"Please, Teacher Esther, please help me"- Ashil rushed to hug Esther

Quickly she wrapped her arms around Ashil's body and lifted his right hand, gently slipping her hand into his sleeve to reveal a knife.

"Use your innocent face to fool me, young master Ashil"- Esther

"Founded~"- Ashil laughed

"So you want to catch me off guard? Smart, if you want to take advanced lessons I'll do as you please, as long as you don't whine"- Esther released Ashil

"Really?"- Ashil was surprised

Esther just smiled and walked away, glancing at the happy young master Ashil, actually she had predicted this would happen when Ashil came to find her.
