"Kairan: Surviving in the Modern World" CHAPTER 11
"My lady it's me Malou"
I heard a voice after knocking on the door. I am currently lying on my bed reading this interesting picture book on the book shelves near the window.
"Come in"
I said and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for her to enter the room. When she was finally in the room she stopped near the door staring at me like before.
"Come near to me—Malou"
I said at first she's hesitating to obey what I say but in the end she did it, Malou is standing five steps away in front of me. I stood up and walked closer to her, as I walked she took one step behind.
"Malou—tell me, why do you want me to die?"
I can clearly see her regretful eyes and pale face as she didn't attempt to speak or to defend herself.
"Tell me why you hate me that much"
But again I didn't receive a reply from her. I walked towards the table and grabbed the letter opener. It was a knife that was designed to cut envelopes and papers but it can be harmful because of the pointed tip that it has. I was able to see this while wandering in the room. The same goes to the picture book that I was reading earlier. Malou sees what I got on my right hand and makes her more terrified. I walked where she was and stood before her. It seemed like she couldn't move so I stared straight into her eyes and said.
"Tell me now, I really want to know"
Now she nodded and I stepped backwards to sit on the bed.
"I— My lady caused me a lot of trouble before you lost your memories. You didn't stand out and you don't want too, you don't like active things and just stay to your room all day, but when you want something and you cannot get it right away you cause a mess within the household, maids like me find you a troublemaker and brat, that's why most of the maids hates you except to your personal maids."
He paused and now looked into my eyes.
"We hate you because you gave us triple work as master and mistress but what we hate the most is when you hurt us physically just because you can't get the attention of master and mistress."
"Did I really do that? Hitting the maids and getting attention from others?"
"Yes! But when you got engage to Sir Ash you leave the household and leave by your own, we also heard that you always do stupid just to get your fiancée's attention, we feel relief at least you're not in the household anymore."
She said, confessing all of her hatred to me and stopped when she realized that I was listening to her.
"Hah—to think that I was that stupid to begged for attention? That makes me want to yell my old self"
I said speaking to myself and let out a sigh and opened the letter. I don't think that Kairen is the kind of girl who will do that kind of thing without any reason or just for the attention that she wants, something might happen to her that's why she acts that way.
It makes me frustrated and I keep thinking when will Silvestre come back, I really need the memories of Kairen to understand these things.
Now that I am thinking of it I am sort of a villain in this world.
"Do I look and act like a villain?"
I said to her that it makes her slightly calm.
"Why are you suddenly asking me that kind of question? Isn't it obvious? Your eyes that will stare to death and your voice that is colder than the winter—isn't it obvious?"
"Ohh—I see, so you can speak without trembling"
I said and chuckled, she suddenly covered her mouth and bowed to me.
"Please have mercy on me my lady"
She said while still bowing at me.
"It's fine as if I'm going to fired you"
I said with a sarcastic tone.
"You won't do that?"
"Why did I do that before too?"
"Yes you've done that so many times—"
Malou is now making faces while talking to me.
"So you're not afraid of me now?"
I said and walked toward the door and opened it.
"My lady, you don't have to open the door for a mere maids like us" – Chiki
"Shut up I've already done and don't complain"
I said and let Chiki and Sarah enter the room.
"W—what is this? I—my lady are you going to kill me here? Right now? PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME!" – Malou
I laughed and both three of them stared at me as if this was the first time they saw me laughing. I looked at them with confusion, what did I do?
"What?! Why the hell are you guys staring at me like that!"
I said with some embarrassment.
---
Early this morning I received a reply from Silver that he will start preparing for what I ask him to do, as well as Chiki, Sarah, and Malou.
That night I've form a contract to Malou unlike Chiki and Sarah, Malou has one condition for her to become one of my people and that's
Flashback
"But before I sign the contract I like to give my condition and request, first if ever I die—my lady I want you to support my younger siblings on their daily life until they can work on their own, second don't ever doubt what I say or what I will not betray you since I gave and trust you the first condition, and this"
She handed me an emblem.
"That emblem symbolizes my loyalty to you no matter what happens, my lady, do you accept my conditions?"
I didn't answer her right away and stayed staring at the emblem that I was holding. I've seen this emblem before.
"Yes, I shall accept it"
I said and then she suddenly knelt down on one knee and placed her right hand on her left chest and stared at me.
"I—Malou Wednesday y Russo, giving my life and I promise that I will never betray Lady Kairen Sai"
I know this! This is an oath, in my previous life I wasn't able to receive this kind of oath but I read why people do this and what they do if someone gives them their oath of loyalty. If it happens outside of the palace or you don't have a sword you can use your hand.
I place my hands in front of Malou and act like I was holding a sword placing it on her left shoulder then to right after that she stands up and kisses the back of my right hand.
Flashback ends
"My lady I heard that Sir Ash is having a meeting with master and madam" – Sarah
"That bastard is here?"
I 'tsk' because of annoyance. I don't want to see or talk to him.
"If possible gather some information regarding on the meeting and tell me about it right away"
