In Addin's office.
Sitted on his chair with his hands covering his face. "Got out." He said in a low but commanding voice. The servants, previously present, rushed out.
Addin's POV
How could this have happened? We were so close once, when did everything change? Amanda. My sweat baby sister. Doesn't she know that due to her needless medalling my plans were almost ruined.
Yes I understand where she is coming from, and yes I also hate Hilda but it is not yet time to do anything. She has too much power right know. We can't afford to offend her. At least not yet.
"Master." A sound come from outside the door. A maid's voice non the less. Sara's voice.
Looking at the door I said," Come in."
"Amanda is currently in her room. It seems as though she is crying" Sara said, the latter part lossing her normal stone faced expression and instead adopting a sorrowful one. We both care for Amanda deeply so I had asked her to give me daily reports of how Amanda was doing.
"Thank you,for the good job." I said but know there was a hint of regret in my tone. How am I to protect Amanda? I sighed. "Sara, what would you do if someone very close to you was in danger?" I looked at Sara hopping to find answers. Nothing.
"You may ..."
"I would stop at nothing to protect them, even if it may cost my life, every if it may earn their hatred it won't matter." She declared before respectfully bowing then turning towards the door to leave.
For a moment I was shocked. Starned even. I truly did not expect her to give an answer,even though I was the one asking. I had made up my mind.
"Sara wait," she stopped at her tracks and turned towards me.
"Take this to Amanda." I said while handing her a letter. "You my go."
Amanda the only way I can protect you is by sending you away. I hope you can understand me. From today on word you will no longer be a member of the Heathers family but a commoner, at least until Hilda is no longer a threat.

Third person POV
Amanda had already parked her stuff it wasn't much as when Hilda found out that she was being expelled from the family she was over joyed and quickly parked same clothes and arranged for Amanda's departure.
Through a window in his office, Addin could clearly see as Amanda was being assured out of the mansion.It made his blood boil. Alas he could not do anything.
Sara was with Amanda.She had also packed her bags after being asked to follow Amanda. In truth she would have followed her even if she wasn't asked to.
As soon as Sara heard that Amanda was leaving, she rushed to Addin's office. Her composure completely lost by then. "What is the meaning of this!" She shouted, throwing away all the etiquette lessons on how to conduct herself in front of a noble, she had learnt through out her thirteen years of work for the Heathers family.
"Please go with her, keep her safe and take her some were safe. I am bagging you." Addin said in a pleading voice, gone was his pride as a noble. He seemed desperate. It wasn't far fetched to say that he could have even gone on his knees if she had refused. An act only done for someone above his noble stutes, and in his case the king.
Amanda and Sara took a final look at the mansion and went on their way. Through out all this Amanda had not once come in contact with her brother. This fact alone had greatly lowered her confidence on the journey ahead. She knew not on what is to come but the one thing she did know was that from that moment on her life would be much more difficult.
