Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Meredith


    Meanwhile, Anastasia was also facing the same dire situation.


    She didn''t get dysentery, but all the servants got it, and two of them already died with their guts hanging out of their anus and mouth. It was so gruesome that she had them buried in the backyard.


    She quickly sent all of the servants with her carriage to find the doctor in the bigger city, which would take about five hours by horse carriage.


    Thus, when one of the vigers came to her door and begged her, "Baroness, please save my son! He can barely drink water right now. Please bring him to the next city with a horse carriage! I will trade my life for him!"


    Anastasia saw the weak and pale boy in the man''s arms, and her heart ached as she was powerless to do so, "I''m so sorry. But I''ve already sent the carriage to the city for the servants. There is nobody in this mansion except my daughter and I."


    A sickly olddy came forward. She was so fragile that Anastasia thought she could just drop dead anytime soon. But she still mustered her strength to ask, "H- how about my daughter, Baroness? Her name is Meredith. She''s currently living in the mansion because Lady Aria wants to be her friend!"


    "Ah, Meredith?" Anastasia tried to remember the girl Aria wanted to be friends with. It was rather strange that Aria wanted to make friends with a peasant, but Anastasia was d because she thought Aria could learn one thing or two about humility. "Thest time I saw her was two days ago, but I was so busy in the mansion that I hadn''t checked on her. Let me ask my daughter first. I''m sure your daughter is safe right now... I hope."


    As Anastasia turned around, a young redhead walked out of Aria''s room and smiled at them, "No need to search for me, Baroness. I''m here, healthy as I can be."


    Meredith stood right next to Anastasia and smiled at her mother. But her smile didn''t reach her eyes, as it seemed that Meredith was looking down on her, "And you don''t need toe here anymore, Mom. I''m doing well, and will stay in this mansion forever."


    "W-what are you saying, Meredith? Your brother is dying! He said he wants to see you and misses you so much! Juste with me, okay? We don''t know how long your brother can survive..." the olddy tried to grab Meredith''s hand, but thetter quickly brushed it off and scowled at her mother;


    "Ugh, get your filthy hands off me!" Meredith yelled, and her mother was stunned.


    "M-Meredith, w-what is wrong with you?! I''m your mother!" The old woman tried to grab her daughter''s hand again, but Meredith pushed her until her mother fell to the ground.


    "I told you, I am not going back. I don''t care about my goddamned brother. He is going to die anyway," Meredith spat. "Why should I leave this mansion? Lady Aria treats me very well, and Ick nothing."


    Meredith''s mother was lying on the ground, the push seemed to have taken almost all of her life entirely as she could only murmur her daughter''s name, "Me... re... dith..."


    Meredith rolled her eyes and turned around, leaving everyone, including Anastasia who was speechless about her sudden change. The vigers were angry at Meredith, who was once such a kind and hard-working girl. But they didn''t have time to make a scene in the Baroness'' mansion, as they continued begging her to find a way to save their children. freewebnovel


    Meredith returned to Aria''s room, and Aria chuckled as she had been witnessing everything from the window, "Good job, Meredith... or should I say, Lady Jade."


    Lady Jadeughed out loud, "You should see her mother''s expression. She looks so heartbroken, probably dying right now because her beautiful, kind and hard- working daughter suddenly turns into a mean bitch."


    Aria raised her brow when she could feel the soul of Meredith''s mother entering her floating Necronomicon. She was currently harvesting the souls of those vigers, and whenever one of them died, their souls would instantly get sucked into her Necronomicon.


    "Wow, Meredith''s mother must be in too much shock, because her soul has just entered my Necronomicon," Ariamented. "And now, her little brother has just passed away. They can finally gather together in the little hell I created inside my book."


    Jade had never felt so alive before, so herugh got even louder until the room was filled with nothing but crazedughter, "Oh, this new body is great! I feel so light, and every inch of my skin is smooth. It''s notas good as my original body at my príme, but I can''tin much. Besides, getting the body of a female wolf beastman would be difficult when most of them are in the Kingdom of Beastmen right now."


    "Meredith''s body is a good start either way," Aria said. "I made sure to stab her in


    the back and let her bleed out, so her body is still in perfect condition when I


    moved your soul to her body."


    "How long will it take for this body to rot?" Jade asked.

    "Probably two years at most. Meredith is a healthy young woman. Her body won''t rot that fast when your souris still inside her corpse," Aria replied. "Now, why don''t you leave me alone and do something more useful? Create more potions or something. I need to focus because I need to use all these souls to


    re-learn all of the witchcraft that I''ve lost."


    Jade still didn''t know what caused Aria to lose her witchcraft. Aria never wanted to


    tell her. She could only bury her curiosity and shrugged, "Just tell me if you need


    help. You know I''m the best at making poison and potions."


    Jade went to the door as she intended to leave.


    However, she soon lost her bnce when the door was mmed open until it hit her face.


    "Aria! What is happening here?!" Anastasia yelled at her daughter who was sitting on her bed leisurely. "Everyone in the vige is dying! What did you do to them?!"
