Soon the next day arrived as the sun light illuminated the beautiful girl with silver hair as she elegantly flicked her wrist trying to smack the fly that got in through her window only to be outsmarted somehow and fell head first on her buttocks and ended up in a questionable position, she felt a throb down there as if her whole body was saying 'Should've been careful' .
" Ahh,that really hurts". She stuttered , while Marie opened the door to see her in that position while she quickly tried to stand up but was in to much pain to do so.
"My lady, excuse me asking but what are you doing ?". Marie asked with a confused expression.
" Nothing". She tried to play it cool as she stood up but was too weak and fell down.
" My lady, are you okay?". Marie inquired as she ran to her lady's side in panic.
While that was going on a maid entered the room rudely without knocking and had a disgusted expression on her face as she towered over them.
" His excellency requires your presence, so hurry up and don't do useless things".
" You can't talk to my lady like that". Marie tried to defend her lady without noticing her lady getting angrier.
"Huh, just because I've been letting their behavior slide then they think I'm stupid" . She thought, as she smirked.
" Get out , knock the door, come in then bow and proceed with formalities then repeat what you just said".
" What did you just say to me"the maid asked with a puzzled look on her face.
" Oh you didn't hear well, okay maybe this time you're ears will open up".
" I said go outside knock the door and come in repeat what you said but this time lose the disgusting attitude".
"It's seems like you're starting to grow wings". The maid spoke with a incredulous look as she surveyed her lady.
" She seems different somehow but I can't be my finger on it". The maid thought as she stared down her lady.
" I thought you were smart, but it seems like you don't know your place". She said, as she understood the what she was thinking, then proceeded to sit on her bed while marie stood on the side.
" I'm a descendant of the marboul family and the crown prince's fian-".
" Pft ha ha ha,you think that's worth anything the crown prince hates you and so does the duke and his heir unless you get them to pay attention to you, you're nothing, nothing at all.
The maid mocked while she laughed like a maniac as she looked up to see no trace of anger like before just nothing.
" Only a fool wouldn't know that". She replied.
"But even then nobles like to keep their reputation clean so I can get rid of you as long as it keeps the family image and the only thing the duke will say is 'Don't do useless things'.
" You know it well don't you as you've been there everytime".
She said nonchalantly as twirled her hair as the maid realize the gravity of the situation and started to panic.
" Y-you c-can't the prince will just hate you more". She said as she tried to milk her last hope while pleading at the same time.
" I really don't care plus the prince doesn't like a stain on his image and will you this further prove I'm evil and try to dissolve the engagement-". She said happily as she thought of the day.
" So thank you". She spoke with a brilliant smile
" But y-you m-must, t-the p-prince don't you care what he thinks about you".
" No really in fact I would like it to get worse". She said contemplating as she stood up and step forward towards the maid.
" Marie, call the guards".
" Please don't ,I won't do it again".
" Honestly, how stupid are you?".
" From all you've done do you how hard it be to get a job at another mansion,since no one will hire someone who spreads their masters secret". She denoted as she stared at the maid coldly as she threw evidence at her.
" I didn't,I promise it wasn't me". She refuted profusely as she shakes her head while avoiding eye contact.
" But my investigation says otherwise though maybe I wrong, am i".she spoke while the maid nodded as hard her head as hard as she could.
" Hah, it seems like you don't understand sarcasm". She said as she circled and noticed the guards come in and said with a bright face.
" Oh, you're here please throw her out of the estate I'll handle the rest". She spoke while the guards whisked her away.
" My lady, please no, I beg you, I have siblings to take care".
" Oh you finally called me my lady, to bad though, should've done that when I told you to".
" Goodbye have a nice life".
"It wasn't supposed to be like this". The maid mumbled as she almost ripped her hair out
" Marie, help me get ready".
" Understood , my lady".
As soon as she was dressed, they made their way to the dining table were the duke had already sat.
" Greetings, your grace".
She declared to make her presence known as she bowed with marie behind her.
" Sit". The duke said with no expression on his face like he was speaking to stranger.
" Yes, your grace". She uttered as she took a sit at a distance from the duke as she was uncomfortable in his presence.
" I heard you caused a ruckus earlier". He voiced expecting an explanation just as he elegantly displayed his table etiquette.
" I just got rid of an unruly maid who overstepped her boundaries after all we can always get a new one".
She spoke eloquently without missing a beat with a straight face as she expected his next words while she ate her food.
" Don't do anything useless". They both said simultaneously as the duke stared at her stunned with a loss of words.
" Anyway, your brother will be arriving a month from now with the crown prin-".
" I'd like to be excused". She uttered while the duke sat there frozen in shock for her cutting him off.
" You may".
" Thank you, my grace". She bowed as walked past without looking back at the duke.
" Alfred, does she seem different". He asked his long time butler who as been there for him since he was a teenage.
" It's seems like so, like nothing's holding her back anymore".
" She becoming a phoenix rising from the ashes showing her true potential". He voiced respectful as he bowed.
" Is that so". The duke responded.
While Elizabeth arrived at her room without Marie who was called be the head maid, she heard a voice calling her name.
" bedelia".
" Must be hearing things".
" Bedelia" .
" Yup, must be".
" BEDELIA".
The mysterious voice called getting louder and louder as she felt a magnetic pole towards the source only to be lead to under her bed.
Then she proceed to find a hidden compartment that she pried open with her bare hands to find an old book made with ice crystals each representing magic powers in their world.
" What is this ".
She said as she proceeded to open the book only for a blinding light to appear and to get sucked into a fantasy like forest.
" Ahhh-h, am I going to die seriously though who do I keep offending". She shouted falling at a rapid pace from the sky, only to appear safely on the ground.
"Where am I wonderland or something like that".
" Welcome back, Bedelia".
Ah yes, just another day in the marboul household.
