Chapter 14: The Warden Was Replaced!
Maria glared at the kitchen maid, who was sitting on the carpet with her eyes closed. Frustration rose within her, and he couldn't help but voice her dissatisfaction.
"We have to call the guards to get the galley slave out," she exclaimed, anger evident on her face.
"Here, she's just an eyesore!"
Kea nodded in agreement. "Exactly! We have to get rid of her immediately. She's just causing trouble," said Kea.
"What's wrong? It's already noisy this morning!" Sandra just woke up,
What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?" asked Sandra confused.
"We will have the guards move the galley slaves to another cell!" Maria explained.
"Which cell?" Sandra was confused, she thought this cell was the most habitable.
"It's up to the warden to go to another cell!" Kea answered.
"Oh yes... yes... I agree! I was horrified by her skin disease. It was so disgusting. Her whole body was black as if it had been roasted by fire. It was like being cursed!" Said Sandara.
"That's right. It's definitely a curse disease!" Kea chimed in.
"Yeah. She just ruined my appetite!" Sandra said.
"Hey, look! Whose clothes is that slave wearing?" shouted Sandra. They all gasped, turning to Bella.
Bella had just woken up and didn't understand her friends' conversation. But she was also surprised to see the kitchen slaves.
"Why is she wearing my old clothes! As far as I remember, I never gave her my old clothes!"_ Bella massaged her throbbing forehead. Sudden headache. This was strange, he never had headaches so he was forgetting something. "I...don't remember anything!"_ she complained to herself.
"Very good, you blessed your used clothes to that slave," quipped Maria with an annoyed face.
Bella was silent when she heard Maria's cynical words. Bella's mind was in chaos. "What happened? Did I really give those clothes to the kitchen slave? But..."__ Bella only remembered dousing the kitchen slave with cold water, but forgot to give Clara Diana a change of clothes.
Maria, Bella, Kea and Sandra just remembered that yesterday afternoon Bella gave a set of used clothes to the kitchen maid.
Apart from that, they forgot that last night they made a fuss about Clara Diana's silver hair. They went to bed early, forgetting the important thing that was the main problem, the hair dye in the glass bottle.
The three women looked at Bella with judgmental eyes. Bella gave her used clothes to the kitchen slaves, as a result the kitchen slaves did not behave respectfully towards them. But strangely, they also didn't disturb the kitchen slave who seemed to be meditating. Suddenly they felt afraid and strange towards the kitchen slave.
"Does she practice magic!"_ The timid Sandra shuddered.
On the other hand, Bella doesn't like the cynical looks from her friends. "What's wrong with you guys? Are you throwing your used trash in the trash instead of doing a little good?"
Even though she forgot, Bella didn't like their disgusted looks. Embarrassing!
"HAH!" The three women laughed in unison.
"Does he want to be a saint?" Kea said sarcastically accompanied by another cynical laugh. Even the timid Sandra laughed too. Even though she was reluctant and respected Bella. Bella is brave, she is willing to be punished by the prison guards to defend her friends.
"What do you want? Do you want to look better than us!" Maria sneered
"Don't you understand the rule of law, giving clothes to a slave is the same as freeing them from slavery!"
"Freeing the slaves! Tsk tsk tsk. Very good!" Kea quipped.
Sandra was frightened, she whispered to Kea, "Does Bella want to fight Mr. Gilbert?"
"Humph!" Kea brushed her hand away.
"Just try it!"
Bella shook her head. Her friends' expectations were too high.
Bella vaguely remembered giving her used clothes to the galley slave. Bella's head was throbbing, why had she forgotten what happened yesterday.
"What's wrong with that!"_ Bella didn't know the old rules.
Bella was just making up for her regret for dousing the kitchen slave with dirty water.
Providing clothing to a galley slave was an ordinary act that had nothing to do with the slave's manumission.
Bella laughed, "You guys think too highly!"
"Do you remember our status?" Bella quipped back. Do they consider themselves very noble?
Aren't those here also slaves? Only their status was higher, potential concubines. But is it true that they will be made concubines? It's just a plan.
Of course, it will later be resold or given as a gift to royal officials or nobles, or royal guests. If they were lucky, they would be taken as concubines, but if not, they would just be broken shoes that had to be thrown away.
"Actually, who is the noblest here?" Bella quipped again.
The women's faces turned sour. Bella's sarcasm offended their deepest feelings.
Clara Diana overheard the women's conversation, secretly regretting having hypnotized them. Throwing away memories of yesterday's events to avoid problems, instead creates new problems.
Clara Diana felt sorry for Bella. Secretly Clara Diana releases her hypnosis, returning Bella's memory.

Maria looked back at the kitchen slave sitting on the red carpet.
"It looks like the kitchen slave is deaf, or pretended not to hear our conversation! Because of her we got into a fight!"_ Maria was furious. In the past, they never had a disagreement. They get along and defend each other. But now there is a split between them.
"This kitchen slave is the incarnation of the devil. She spreads the disintegrating poison of that cursed disease!"_
Maria was angry, she didn't understand why Bella was so careless and acted carelessly.
Maria did not accept it, giving clothes to an inferior slave was not a virtue. But he didn't want to make a fuss with Bella. Fussing with Bella will only add to the problem.
"We have to talk to the guards, they have to immediately move the kitchen slaves from here," said Maria, diverting the problem. Used clothes are not the main problem. She just wanted the galley slave out of the way. She really didn't like having kitchen slaves around them.
Moreover, the kitchen slaves started to be rude to them. It's because of those used clothes.
"Oh!!" Maria hated remembering that.
****
Bella didn't care about their plans. She was hurt by his friends. As the woman walked to the cell door, she saw the guards talking in very low voices. Bella can read lips. She was surprised by the guards' conversation.
Kea lifted her breakfast plate to her bed, she ate there. Sandra followed Kea's steps, these two people were like twins, even though they had only known each other since living in this cell.
Bella frowned, Kea and Sandra broke the rules. The rule in this prison is that it is forbidden to eat in bed.
"Why are you there, do you know, this new warden is very disciplined!" Bella's words shocked them.
"What! The warden was replaced!"
"Why?"
"Why was the warden suddenly replaced? What's the problem?!" They ask each other questions.
"Why? Do you all have sympathy for that annoying prison guard?" Bella had a moment to reply.
Maria, Kea and Sandra's faces turned red. Who likes the warden? the female warden often tortured them!
Four tall and big men suddenly came rushing over. They were Mr. Gilbert's bodyguards. "Where's the galley slave!" said one of them.
Bella backed away from the cell door. Maria smiled sarcastically. Without being asked, Mr. Gilbert's bodyguard came to pick up the slave.
Kea and Sandra were pale. They looked at Clara Diana with blaming faces. Clara Diana stood up and walked towards the cell door without hesitation. the four women were flabbergasted. That kitchen slave...she...did he want to commit suicide. how dare she challenge those elite guards!
A guard opened the cell door. The sound of a large rusty chain on the cell door made the women shiver.
Surprisingly, Clara Diana didn't look afraid. She looked calm, very calm. Maria hated to see the calm on the galley slave's face.
Bella felt sorry. Meanwhile Kea and Sandra were shaking pale, they were very scared. Afraid they will be dragged too.
Two bodyguards entered, dragging Clara Diana's tiny body. The cell room became silent, they didn't dare to move until the guards' footsteps disappeared in the distance
