KNOCK! KNOCK!
"May I come in my lady?"A middle aged head servent knocked on the door of Merry's
Merry opened her eyes and got shocked how long she had slept .When she looked around Max had already left the room.
"Ah! Yes!come in please"
"Sorry to disturb you my lady,My lord told that you are having a severe head pain,so I brought you something to eat so you can take some medicines."The servent politely said and came closer to Merry's bed and arranged the table with a hot and delicious looking meal.
"Th-Thanks alot ma'am."Merry thanked her.
"Oh! Dear, you don't have to address me with such honourable word folks.I am your servent my highness." The servent got so surprised by Merry's way of addressing her.
" B-But still I... th-then what should I call you " Merry got confused how to address her .
"You can call me Eliza my lady. I am the head servent and I will be your personal servent."
Eliza informed Merry and smiled by Merry's nature.
"Oh it w-would be lovely to be in your care." Merry too said with a smile.
"Oh dear it's my honour to be by your side."Eliza felt very touched by Merry's way of speaking.
"You know what my lady,you sound like a child to me,so sweet voice.I was quite nervous that what our ladyship will be like but now I am really happy to meet." Eliza told Merry about her feelings.Merry sounded like a child which was literally pleasant to Eliza's ears
.
"I-I will try to coperate with you more."Merry got relaxed to know that Eliza is really nice person not like her old servents hired before Elle.Elle was only one who looked after Merry like a sister.
" Could I ask you something my lady?"Eliza asked.
"O-Ofcourse."Merry swallowed as she was nervous what Eliza would ask.
"What's your age my lady? You look really young." Eliza asked Merry as she looked like an innocent girl with big decent eyes,soft and elastic cheeks like a kid,a bit thick eyebrows,thin and delicate body and shiny medium sized hairs.
"I-I am 19 years old" Merry replied hesitantly.
"Oh my! you are so young.That means there is no big difference between my lady and my lord.I was surprised at first when the marriage announcement happened."Eliza was surprised to know.It was obvious as Merry and Max got married at very young age.
"Is he also the s-same age?" Merry asked.
"You don't know my lady,our lord is 20 years old.He may have achieved much more compared to his age but to be honest sometimes when you see him getting angry over little things he sounds like an immature kid to me."Merry smiled when Eliza described more about Max like a gaurdian.
"You don't have to worry our lordship won't get angry over such a lovely wife like you.He must be lucky to have you." Eliza complimented Merry with all her heart.
"I-I am really messy in reality,I fear what I-If I make mistakes.And I don't e-even know more about here." Merry tried to explain her that she is still nervous.Merry wasn't at her father's house .So she is not sure how to be more careful here.
"You don't need to worry.You are totally free to make mistakes and say whatever you want to say.This is your mansion now,so don't feel uncomfortable dear." Eliza told her to feel free.
"Th-Thank you "Merry thanked with a smile.
"If you want, I would show you the mansion properly after you get ready my lady."
"Absolutely "
"Then, let me take you to get dressed after bath,is that alright?."
"Y-Yes,Thank you. "
***********
Merry got a dress to wear which was specially prepared by Max for her.
An elegant burgundy coloured long length dress with a V-shaped neck and a laces around the linings.She wore her hair up and decorated it with black crystal hairpins.
Eliza and other servents done a light makeup as Merry didn't know how to do her makeup.
They put mascara and a berry lip colour.
"Oh!You are looking so gorgeous my lady!"
"The lord has chosen such a beautiful wife."
Everyone complimented Merry when she got ready.
"I- Isn't it too much?"Merry was a little nervous of what would Max think about her appearance.
"Not at all ,you haven't even applied any other things my lady.And this outfit suits you so well.Lord Max has good eyes for his dear wife.
The more they were exaggerating and talking about Max ,Merry was growing more and more lost in her worries.
"Now, now I will be taking our ladyship to look over the mansion, you all go and ask the butler Gaavi to look over the main rooms.
"Okay ma'am."
Eliza took Merry to all the main places and gave all description about each things present in the mansion.
They went to grand hall,garden which was having only grasses and big trees.
"Lord Max told that our ladyship likes gardening.He has ordered different varieties of flowers and plants to sow in the garden for you.They will arrive soon."
Eliza told Merry.Deep inside Merry felt really delightful after knowing that Max remembered her like which was really touching.
"It's re-really nice of him,I like it alot."Merry said and smiled while looking at the big Maple tree which looked really healthy and beautiful.
"It looks s-so beautiful and re-refreshing."Merry said it while taking a deep breath of fresh air.
"Indeed,It is here since Lord was 4 years old but some sad memories are attached to it."Eliza told.
"Wh-What is it about?"Merry asked.
"It's an emotional and personal story my lady.I think it would be more proper to know it from the Lord."Eliza replied with a low tone and smiled, which could tell that it was really a story attached with deep emotions.
"I understand "Merry smiled and got a little concerned.
'I think my pain is nothing compared to others around me ,why I feel so weird.I wanna know what is it that made Max to be called as Killer or beast,he doesn't even a bit similar to these adjectives.He is so nice and caring.There must be some reasons behind these which made his personality rough.' Merry thought to herself.
"Shall we move to the other side my dear?" Eliza asked.
"Ofcourse.."Merry confirmed.
