After dismissing everyone, the prince instructed the head servant to stay behind. He then, instructed this latter to monitor the girl's action. He continued : "After a month period of observation, if nothing is amiss with her behaviour, she will be assigned a teacher to teach her how read and write while remaining as a low ranking servant."
The head servant had no idea on what exactly was the prince's purpose but he complied to the order without any ado. As he was not so sure of the exact status of the foreigner girl, he inquired the prince for further details on how the girl should be treated. To this, the prince responded "treat her as any workforce laborer. No preferential treatment". He then went away.
The head servant was left behind and got more and more confused. "Wasn't the girl an envoy from Alesia? How come does she have to be treated as one of the lowest ranking servant now? Or is it the price of offending the prince? Even an envoy is not spared now? And what's with the monitoring part? Is he suspecting that Alesia people were up to no good by sending this girl here? No, it can't be! Alesia's stance was always neutral during these last centuries. Or are the rumor on their internal strife founded?"
The head servant's thought was all messed up. " In any case, I must be vigilant. If things turn sour under my supervision, I will be held responsible and doomed. Better be safe than sorry", he thought.
Afterward, the prince went to his sister's quater and spent some time with her before departing for the barracks.
Lyria, on the other hand was sent to the workforce labor quarter. She was led to her dormitory. The quater was located at the backyard of the estate. There were several lined buildings. Each building was composed of ten rooms. And each room accommodated two people. A set of uniform was given to her. Her roommate was called back to the dormitory and instructed to teach her the rules and the functioning of their job.
As it was already late in the afternoon, Lyria was excused from starting her work. She was instructed to begin from tomorrow onwards. Her roommate, as well, was excused from the rest of her task, she was instructed to familiarize Lyria with the layout of the estate. Her roommate was a very charming short girl, she was the cute type, easy to approach and helpful. She wholeheartedly show her around, explaining everything important without leaving anything out. She told her the people that often visit the estate, who should she bé aware of. She insisted on telling her to not offend the princess Mirabelle and the prince.
With their conversation, Lyria grasped more or less the situation of estate. Being assigned in the lowest workforce was not really a big deal for her since she had to do some work when she was in the orphanage. Also, she had to work many part time jobs during her college day to support her living cost and provide some donation to her orphanage. She was rather thankful because she now has somewhere to live in this foreign country and time.
They worked 8 hours a day, with one day per weak break. They also have one month per year vacation. The lowest ranking workforce was divided in 10 groups of 10 people. 5 groups worked in daytime while the rest in night time. Each month, the working time of the group is switched. Among the 5 groups working in daytime, the first group start s at 5 a.m, the second at 7, the third at 9 ... Each group can take an hour lunch break after 4 hours from their starting time. The starting time is also rotated within the group of 5.
