It's been a year since brother left and a year and 8 months since father has left. I feel lonely but now I can talk and read simple sentences. My brother Kanai sent letters every day and Rowelly read them out for me.
One day, I was walking in the garden alone when heard a rustle sound from a near by bush. I got scared. Then a little puppy jumped out of the bush. It was hurt on his leg. He looked scared. I tried to approach him as gently as I could. I rubbed his head gently. I carried him and went inside. I kept him on my bed and searched for the first aid kit. I treated his leg and let him rest on the bed. "I will name you Dingo". I called for Rowelly and asked to bring a little bed for Dingo. The bed came the next day.
I was on my way to the kitchen to get some snacks for Dingo when I heard the maids who were not fond of me gossiping.
"Oh my, look at this devil! She dared to bring a mere dog in the duke's beautiful castle."
"I know right!"
"I don't even know why the duke kept her. He should have killed this devil."
"She even took our duchess's life, what a monster!"
"Shut it!" Rowelly interrupted their gossips "The young lady is a part this family, if you talk more and this word goes to the duke you know your tongues will be cut off from your mouth."
The maids had a displeased expression when they went back to their work.
I went to kitchen and got Dingo some snacks. As soon as I reached my room where Dingo was resting, my eyes started tearing up, I could not even control them. Dingo came to me and cuddle me to console me. "You are the only one in this house right now whom I can trust, thank you Dingo." I said
I have now made myself not to trust anyone except father, brother and Dingo.
