Emeline was just giving a soft smile before she was speaking, "You are welcome. As I stated before.... please keep this a secret between us." Yet it wasn't uncommon for humans to keep secrets amongst themselves. Most of the slaves within the mansion didn't seem to have an issue with Emeline at all, she was always kind of them even when she was around her father. And she always talked him out of punishments.... or she at least thought she did. Did she realize that he would still have them punished afterwards but in the dank, dark dungeon? Not at all. So perhaps there were some that hated her because of that, despite how she didn't know.
