The mixed-blood witch is surely a harbinger of misfortune. Shes barely betrothed to Mr. Pierce, and already shes brought calamity upon the manor!
Absolutely! Mr. Pierces faith in this curse baffles me.
I halted, my countenance darkening at their words.
While I had anticipated murmurs about Debras mixed-blood witch heritage after Keenans demise, hearing it vocalized ignited an uncontrollable anger within me.
Drawing in a deep breath, I made my way towards the source of the conversation.
Their discussion grew clearer with each step.
How could Mr. Pierce tolerate the sight of this woman cavorting with another man at their engagement party? The mixed-blood witch is a true scandal. Shes driven Mr. Pierce to madness!
Indeed! Shes a force to be reckoned with. If Mr. Pierce proceeds with the marriage, shell undoubtedly lead many members of our witch clan to their doom!

Startled by my sudden intrusion, the servants paused their activities, their eyes widening.
Mr. Pierce You one of the servants stuttered, unable to articulate her thoughts coherently.
My fists clenched tightly, a surge of anger coursing through me, urging me to mete out punishment and expel them all from the witch clan.
Yet, a glimmer of rationality prevailed.
I needed to maintain composure. Only by unraveling the mystery behind Keenans murder could I truly absolve Debra of all suspicion.
If I were to punish these servants now, it would only add fuel to the gossip about Debra.
Suppressing my anger, I addressed them sternly. Seems like you dont have enough work if youve got time to gossip about me!
The three servants trembled, dropping to their knees in fear.
We wont dare again, Mr. Pierce!
We know were wrong. Its just that everyones talking, and we.
With a stern expression, I locked eyes with them. Remember, no matter whats being said outside, now that Debra and I are engaged, shes the future mistress of this manor. As my people, you should stand by us, not talk behind her back!
Yes! Yes! Were sorry, Mr. Pierce. It wont happen again!
Their terrified faces left me feeling both frustrated and angry.
I couldnt silence every prejudiced voice against Debra. All I could do was prove her innocence as soon as possible.
Turning away, I left them behind.
