"Young Miss, it's time for breakfast."
Hearing a knock on her bedroom door, the Young Miss yawned as she woke up from her sleep, "Come in."
A young lady, wearing a maid outfit along with her long blonde hair neatly tied up in a high ponytail, entered the room. It's the Young Miss's maid, Amy.
Amy has been working for the Young Miss for quite some time now and though it may seem like a surprise, Amy is only three years older than the Young Miss she is serving.
The Young Miss sees Amy as family, like an older sister rather than someone who is in an employer-and-employee relationship.
.
Amy entered the bedroom, pushing in a trolley filled with breakfast delights for the Young Miss.
"Young Miss-"
"Amy, how many times should I tell you? You don't have to be so formal with me in private, we're close, aren't we? Just call me by my given name." The Young Miss smiled as she raised her hands to prevent Amy from completing her sentence.
Amy flushed in embarrassment and replied, "B-But Young Miss- alright, Lady Roselia..."
However, given the Young Miss's personality, Amy gave up as she knew that Roselia will jokingly tease her about it all the time.
.
Lady Roselia, also known by her full name, Roselia Light Hogan, is the only child of the tenth generation Head Duke of the Hogan family. With her beauty, elegance, and grace, she is also quite well-known around the Elftarise Empire.
Being raised in the loving home of the Hogan Family, who have served the Imperial Family even before the start of the Elftarise Kingdom. Roselia has a caring mother and a doting father who supports her in any way possible and gives her the freedom to do what she wants. However, with all the freedom she has, Roselia knows not to overstep her boundaries.
Roselia is also named to be the next Head of the Hogan Family. She was the first, and with all the achievements that she has made, she was a perfect fit for the role. Her father has already prepared to entrust her as the next Head after he retires, as the very first female Head of the Household at that, throughout the Empire.
Having to live up to her family name, She has been learning how to become the perfect Family Head and also has responsibilities to take upon.
.
Roselia finished washing up and went up to Amy for breakfast, "Mhm, today's breakfast smells good Amy, what's being served?"
Amy replied as she starts to set up the mini dining table in the room, "Lady Roselia, the Head Chef made your favorite."
"Really?!", Roselia exclaimed with excitement on her face as she sat down at the table.
Strawberry and blueberry pancakes are neatly stacked on top of each other with hot butterfly pea flower tea served on the side. It was a simple and light breakfast yet served with elegance.
Roselia normally does not eat much for breakfast in the morning but with her favorite type of breakfast being served, freshly made by the family's Head Chef, how can she resist?
"Amy, have you eaten breakfast? Why don't you sit down and eat with me?" She asked Amy kindly.
"L-lady Roselia! I can't sit down and have breakfast with you, the Head Chef made this breakfast exclusively for you," Amy shook her head vigorously.
"You sure? Oh okay then..."
Roselia picked up the fork and knife and starts to dig in for breakfast, "Mhm, this is so good!" The pancake slowly melts in her mouth as she took a bite. They taste even sweeter as she dipped them in whip cream on the side.
As she continues eating, she remembered something, "Is Leo not at Guards Training Centre today?"
"Sir Leo? He should be here at the Manor today," Amy replied unconfidently.
"Could you go and tell him to meet me here if he's around? I've got something to discuss with him."
"Yes, Lady Roselia, I'd be glad to," Amy replied as she bowed and soon left the room to find the person named 'Leo'.
.
After some time, Roselia heard a knock on her door, "My Lady, it's me."
It was a male voice behind the door, it must be the person she called for.
Roselia place her teacup down as she invited him in, "Come in."
A tall, handsome, tanned-skin man entered the room. His long slashed scar can be seen, highly visible on his neck as he was wearing a simple, long-sleeved, white button-down with long black pants. A long sheathed sword can also be seen hanging around his waist.
"My Lady, you asked for me?" He questioned as he entered the room.
"Oh my, Sir Leo, did you just finish your training? How was it?" Roselia jokingly said as she look up and down at Leo.
He was covered in sweat, his hazel brown hair messily sticking onto his chiseled face, covering his right eye. His shirt was slightly unbuttoned and half untucked. It appears to be that he had just finished training.
Leo was confused by Roselia's words until he saw himself reflected in the huge mirror across her room and his face turned bright red as he began to fix himself right, "M-my lady! I sincerely apologize!"
"Haha Leo, don't need to be so shy, it's not the first time you've clumsily walked into my room looking like that." Roselia laughed.
"Stop teasing me My Lady, didn't you call me here for something?" Leo replied as he fixed himself up.
Roselia stopped laughing and composed herself, "Right. Leo, today I have a meeting with His Majesty at the Imperial Palace. Care to escort me?"
"Yes My Lady but if I may be forward, why is His Majesty looking for you?" Leo questioned.
"I'm not too sure but it may be important, please do make yourself look presentable," Roselia replied with uncertainty as she finished the last bit of her tea.
"Of course, My Lady," Leo replied before exiting the room.
