It has been one week after the whole Gio and Gai incident. And to say I am alright is a ridiculous farce.
I have been sick since then. I feel drained all of a sudden just after one hour of training. But before, I am able to last at least three hours straight of training.
And that is the reason why everyone I keep staring at me like I have grown another face at the back of my head.
" I wonder why you people keep on staring at me?" turning my head startling the housemaids and military guards.
" There is nothing that matters miss. It is just that you have been pretty tired all the time and not to be rude.... hmmm"
"No need to delay the hard truth, just tell me what it is then I will just take it into account that I need to improve"
I cannot take drama from my platoon. I have still so much on my plate and I cannot take it all in at the same time.
" Well.... ok, for the whole time we have known you. You were fearless and strong and flightless. Not to mention how you train like a demon. It is just too unusual for you to.. uhmm....to look frail and w...we..we...WEAK"
That took so much effort to pull off since they had always been careful around me when they say weak. But today is safe for I am tired and hungry.
" I know. I have an Idea, will you guys be alright if I take a personal holiday? it might take a month or so"
"Miss why do you ask our permission, you are our miss and we are just a mere worker beneath you why must you ask us?"
" who the hell told you, you are beneath me?!" anger suddenly just flared inside me
"because you are higher than us?" this is getting nowhere.
" I am just going to say this once so better remember this. You are not beneath me nor anywhere lower than me. But rather equal to me, you are not my slave but my friends do you understand me?"
after what I said I opened my eyes startled by their expressions.
even males are sniffling upon hearing me, their eyes filled with love and adoration.
"So are you gonna let me leave?"
"If that is what you want to, miss very well we will let you," they said in unison
" But I will not let you go all alone I will be your personal bodyguard on rest."
"But what will be my reason to leave if there is someone with me I am making you free of your duty for a month or so... just to rest!"
then one of the maids held my hand tightly and then she spoke with conviction.
" Not one-word miss, we will not be at peace of mind if we know you are alone with no protection you are our precious jewel. We will not take chances that you will get in trouble" these people are so loving maybe It will not hurt having someone accompany me.
"fine. let us just hope Grammy will let me leave"
this conversation will surely take me days before I can go.
