Chapter 20 - Mary's struggle 1

Mary hugged Louis tighter as she continues to cry silently

She recalled the days before she first met Louis...

"Attention everyone, here's our new maid, her name is mary, be kind to her everyone, the lord saved her"

It was her first day of work after she was saved from her old workplace that abused her

"Heh? so that's the one that lord saved?"

"She's working with us now?"

"She looks completely novice"

And it looks like that thing won't change that much in this new place

*crash!*

"S-sorry! it won't happen again!"

Mary bowed to the head maid asking for forgiveness

"Isn't that your third already this week?? the lord will scold me again!! I don't even know why were still keeping you here"

"Sorry!"

Mary once again bowed

"What's wrong?"

While the head maid is scolding Mary, the lord baron arrived at the scene

"Ah lord baron..."

The head maid looked visibly scared as she looked at the lord, after that she immediately looked down

"Lord! it's me, it's my fault! please forgive me"

Seeing the head maid turn her tail, Mary stepped up to confess

"Is that so? don't worry about it, everybody makes mistakes on their first time, that vase isn't worth much anyways, just clean it up"

After that the lord patted Mary's head and left

After the lord completely disappeared from the hallway Mary looked at the head maid

The head maid was staring at Mary with a shocked, scary look

"Y-you you whore!!"

Then the head maid walks out

The Baron's household was always strict, despite being a baron only, the lord was famous because he was one of the top contributors on the war, earning the noble title of a baron, Since the lord is a general that explains why the household was strict too, only the select best of the best was accepted for the job, many maids was fired for just making a dent on the displays that's why the head maid cannot believe the scene he saw before her, the only explanation that came to her mind was that Mary seduced the lord

"Ouch! stop it!!"

Mary was being beat up by the other maid who was jealous of the favoritism that the lord gave her

"Shut the fuck up, do you think a whore like you have the rights to speak with me?!"

The maid once again kicked Mary and left

"Ouch, that hurt"

Mary struggled to stand up and got to her bed

After resting on the bed she cried

"Ahahaha, what am I crying for, I've experienced things harsher that this hahaha"

Then she convinced herself to smile while imagining her siblings smiling face, after that she fell asleep

The bullying of the other maids continued day by day night by night for a while untill one day, she was called to the lord's office
