As her master was sleeping, After placing a spell to notify her of his orders, Bella went towards her paradise. Opening the large door in the inner side of the castle, she was welcomed by some people wearing clothes that intrigued her.
Seeing the arrival of the person they were waiting for, multiple people wearing same types of clothes which could be called uniforms , smiled.
"Welcome, lady Isabella! We've been waiting for you!"
"Please ask whatever you want to know!"
"Can you please tell us if your master needs us to serve him..?"
Each of them asked a veriety of questions. Smiling slightly, Bella responded,
"One at a time please. Also thank you for accepting my request."
Shaking her head, the head of this people said enthusiastically, "There's no need to thank us Lady Bella! After hearing your request, as someone who does the same thing passionately, I am very excited to teach you everything. Though it may take a lot of time..."
"Time is not important. As long as I can be a true MAID, I'll not hesitate!"
That's right. The reason why, Adam's servant, Isabella requested the people wearing the same types of clothes, the imperial castle maids, was to learn more about MAIDS.
This happened a little back during their talks with the emperor.
.

.
During their talks, the door to the guest room opened after a request and young ladies wearing maid clothes entered the room pushing two catrs.
The maids gracefully served the food and drinks. After doing what they needed, all of then bowed and left the room slowly. Maybe she is curious about them, Bella stood and bowed to Adam once and asked,
"Master, if I may..?"
"Hm? What's wrong, Bella..?"
"I would like to ask your permission to talk to that number of mysterious people!"
Understanding who she is talking about, Adam nodded. Taking that as his approval, Bella walked slowly towards the door and disappeared after closing it.
"Even though this is my castle, she is asking your permission over me huh.."
Ace muttered with a pitiful gaze. Adriel who was near him giggled.
.
.
.
After leaving the room, Bella appeared in front of the walking party of maids. Startled by the appearance of someone, all of the maids almost screamed. But finding the lady who sat near the young man they saw in the guest room, one of them asked,
"You are...that lady came together with the young man..?"
Nodding her head, Bella asked with blank expression, "Teach me."
Confused by the sudden request, the maids were feeling troubled. Thus they took her to the head maid and explained the situation. After understanding the gist of things, the head maid asked with a serious expression,
"Tell me lady, for what reason do you want to learn to be a maid..?"
Blinking a few times, Bella answered with a serious face of her own, "To serve my master to his satisfaction!"
As if her answer was to the satisfaction, the head maid nodded and asked, "Tell us your name lady. We can't call you lady all the time, now can we..?"
"My name is Isabella. Its a name my master gifted me."
"I see... So you want to learn how to be a proper maid and serve your master well. Am I right, lady Isabella..?"
Bella nodded.
"Hmm.. How about this, can you come here at night...? At that time, your master will most likely be sleeping, so you may not have to waste your time here now. When you arrive, we will do our best to help you be a proper MAID!"
.

Back to the present....
And that's how she is here in the kitchen along with the maids.
"Now, shall we start ..? First of all, as a maid, you should be wearing a maid clothes. Since we do not have one for your size, you will have to buy one later from the shops. Next is the manners and etiquette you need......"
She began to teach Bella about the greatness of being a Maid, and how to serve her master well. They continued till midnight. As the time for rest has come, the head maid stopped and said with a surprised face,
"Although it's been only a little long, you have already learnt almost everything I told you. Its amazing how you learn everything so easily! For now, this should be enough. We will teach you until your departure. I've heard that you will be staying for some long time. So you have enough time. You have to learn three more important points. First is to teach you how to cook. The next is to teach you how to protect your master in times of need. Lastly, one of your tasks as a servant. To serve him in bed. You will be learning all of these during your stay. For today, we need rest since it's already late."
After nodding her head and thanking the maids, Bella left to guard to her master's room.

Opening the door to his room, Adam saw Bella bowing her head gracefully just like how a professional servant does. Patting her head with a smile, Adam said,
"Good morning, Bella..."
"Good morning, Master. I have done the preparation for the bath. Let me guide you..."
Saying so, she walked in front. This surprised him however. Although he could have seen through anything that happens in the castle, he didn't had any need to do so. Thus Adam didn't know how Bella suddenly became a professional servant. Since she wants to be one, he wasn't going to deny her desires.
"Did you learn from the castle maids..?"
"Yes, Master. After knowing about their determined loyalty and servitude, I began to admire their way of doing things. So I requested their help."
He nodded. On the way, Adam had some thoughts about what she may do, but he ignored it because of her decided status.
.
.
.
.
.
As he was washing his body, the door to the large bath opened showing Bella butt naked with a towel on her hand. Although he felt aroused by her body, as she was a beauty, he didn't want to start a relationship just as they met.
Seeing her master, welcoming her without denying her, Bella smiled.
"Let me help you wash, master."
He nodded. She began washing his body with her hands. Although she could have used clothes or sponge, she wanted to feel his skin. As she was doing her job, she explained ,
"I have learned this from the maids of this castle. I don't know how my ladies feel about this, but I would like to ask for your permission to help you wash everyday, master."
He nodded. He wasn't worried about anything as including Dia and Bella, this was his second servant.
"Mmm, its okay. Also, there is another girl who I would call servant. But an indirect one actually. She serves one of my woman." He said. Hearing this Bella smiled. Although she would have been frustrated if she heard him saying she was second, after knowing she was indeed his first true servant, she was happy.
He then muttered thinking she wouldn't hear him,
"In that sense Bella is actually my first servant I accepted in true sense huh..."
That words of him shot right through her heart like an arrow, making her tremble. He didn't see such a thing as he was thinking about something else.
"I am very happy to be your servant, master!" She said excitedly. He only smiled at her. Although it's true that he accepted her as a servant, he would never use her life as it's a toy. He would treasure her as a servant.
"Master, I request you to buy me a maid clothes during our date!"
Of course she learned from the girls that date is something couples do to have fun. Although she wasn't his lover, he readily accepted her request for a date without even thinking. So how would she reject such a happiness...?
Hearing her request, Adam didn't know what to say to her determined sparkling eyes.
"..."

Now standing at the entrance of the castle, Adam wearing a white casual shirt and blue tight pants was waiting for someone to come. Appearing next to him like a shadow, Beta wearing black full piece midi-length dress smiled and asked,
"Did I keep you waiting, Master..?"
"No. I just got here. By the way, you don't have to call me that. Just call me Adam from now on."
She nodded and they started their date.
.
.
.
.
As they were walking side by side, Beta asked,
"Hey.. as you told me, I asked them about this 'date'. It really intrigues me. Although I did ask, I still don't know a lot about it. So, will you lead me..?"
He smiled and said, "Of course. I know you don't know about it. So I will explain as we talk. Let's see... As you already heard from the girls, date is something you do with the person you love usually. It is also used to promote ones feelings and closeness. But sometimes you do it to see what kind of feelings for you have for your partner."
"Hmm.. We are not currently in a relationship, so, this can be used to see what we feel for each other..?"
He nodded. "That's right. We can have fun while talking, eating, and doing other activities. During these time, we can evaluate our feelings. Although, the results varies by people. For example, if I were to go on a date with Adriel, there is a chance she learns of her feelings. There is also a chance for her to be confused by the unknown new feelings as well. In our case, you are my servant. But you are serving me for the future of this world. In the case for Bella, there is a chance she may request to be a mistress. That's why I said everything changes according to the person you are going out with."
"Aren't you evaluating me a little harshly..? Its true that I decided to serve you for the sake of this world. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate you, you know..?"
He nodded and continued, "I know. If anything, I would say, you are not familiar with how relationships work. Thus, you are curious and wants to see if it's something even you can take part in."
She was surprised. She smiled and said, "That's right. I was very curious about it. Emotions, feelings... those that are pushing the humans even during despair, I wanted to experience it myself. Although I do have emotions, I do not have any knowledge or experience in love or relationship."
"I know. That's why, we are going to ease your curiosities. Look, we are here... For now, how about we walk around and see if there's something that intrigues you..?" She nodded and followed his lead.
They walked side by side, attracting attention of almost everyone. Adam being a handsome young man obviously charmed some young girls and ladies. Although she is emotionless on the surface, Beta was a beauty as well. Thus, some young man and uncles were looking at her with interest while some of the others looked at Adam with jealousy.
Ignoring the eyes preying on them, the duo walked while talking and sometimes smiling. On the way, Beta saw a shop selling accessories. Sensing her gaze, the shopkeeper waved his hands at her with a smile. Seeing her walking towards a shop, Adam smiled and followed.
"Welcome dear customers! Young Lady, we have a lot of accessories with different designs and materials! Please take a look!"
He said as he pointed towards one part of the shop. What she saw was some hair accessories. They were designed beautifully even from Adam's eyes. One of them was designed like a golden bug, but with green colored transparent wings. The next was designed like tree leaf. Its size was small, however, it was something that suits hair with color black, brown etc.
"Mmm... They are indeed amazing. So, what material did you use to make it..?"
The shopkeeper looked surprised. He never expected a girl to ask for what materials was used instead of asking for a cute and beautiful accessory.
"This one is made from the skin of golden glatch. This leaf is from red druke tree. This one..."
.
.
.
.
After buying a beautiful flower like accessory with ocean blue colour they left the shop.
"Hmm.. It is costly. Are you fine with buying me something so expensive...?"
He smiled and didn't say anything. She sighed and put it inside her pocket. They continued the date.....
