Chereads / Her Highness'S Remorse / Chapter 3 - The Walpurgisnacht

Chapter 3 - The Walpurgisnacht

"This is delicious!" exclaimed Auyu as if she was a certain villain from Fighter Street with vigor she munches on the delicacies that Idun made as it was a homemade Schnizel and sausages paired with potato gratin, though she always questioned why is there always apples amongst the meal. Probably her maid's personal taste perhaps?

"Your highness, please eat them in moderate fashion, i've heard rumors of a certain gluttonious royalty that ate too hastily he ended up choking on his own feast, which earned the title of deadly sin gluttony. Or in layman's term, a mockery of his achievement as a jester. Though in your cast, you're a skeleton compare to his immense height" voiced Idun in sarcasm while prop down some water for her mistress to palate all the nuitrition she have been craming down.

"Idun. Last time i checked i'm around 160 cm, that's not insignificant height at all. You're just jealous i look better than you!" pouted Auyu as she became used to arguing with her maid, compare to the first time they've met where she quietly let her maid do everything for her.

"Oh, congratulation mistress. You're at the height where you can step on your partner's feet and give them a fatal hit in the groins. Truly as expected from our princess." crudely commented Idun before gesturing with moving her fist forward in tandem.

"..." Auyu just ignore her maid and continue to munch on her food, wishing that she never heard that while eating. It does make it less appealing over all.

"Anyways, i'm about to leave now. I heard you got something going on as well, mind telling me what it is. Idun?" curiously asked Auyu as she finished the last bite on the sausage while giving an eyebrows to Idun, but it ended up looking adorable from the maid's perspective

"It's nothing much, your highness. There is currently a night of Walpurgisnatcht being held in this evening, since you're no longer a freeloader, i thought it would be a fresh change of pace to participate in this meeting. But i could also change my mind if you're staying to be pampered more." Remarked Idun but with a deadbeat expression, as if she attempting to be serious but not to worry her mistress with the same kind of retort as they both are used to.

Auyu think for a moment on what she currently desires, and an answer that came out from her mouth with renewed willpower. atonished the maid that have been with her for a decade.

"Your highness...now that i know you're willing commit to something. I will now do my best to assist you." proclaimed Idun as she thought of the Walpurgisnatcht. Her eyes brightened like in the younger days when she continued to served her mistress's grandfather.

"Take care, Idun. I will finish what i have started, that i will promise you." with a final farewell to her caretaker. Auyu begin walking toward her destiny, a journey of finding her own growth, and finding the truth behind her locked experience within the Diary.

"...Goodbye, i love you okay? Auyu-sama." Spoke Idun while hugging her mistress, closely yet carefully as if this one life would extinguish at any moment.

"Yeah, i'll be back. This is my home after all, not those Lurens or Munes. But this place. My world." affirmed Auyu with a nod while forcing herself to smile, she only hoped that this parting would end in on a good note.

With all emotions and words been said, it was time for Auyu to leave. She wondered why, but she has always followed her own whims and emotions. This won't be any different she thought, as she took her favourite dresses and a backpack with her. All organized by the maid she have been with for a long time. But, there was one thing she couldn't have imagined, this journey will forever change her, the world and what the future holds...

Thus began a foolish princess journey to find her own star in the world.

A golden gate opened to a hall of glamorious and lavish decorated place, with a large round table with seats designated to the most prestigious nobility of vampires or those that gained the recognition of feats. Regardless of their background, all who gathered in this night are those with power, status and ranking capable of causing disasters on their own accords.

A striking middle-age sanguinarian maid with yellow ribbons and dark colored hair stride in the hall. With a young homunculous guide behind her.

Her aura is cold and calculative compared to the mansion she stayed at. Because tonight, is the night of Demonic Walpurgis.

"Auyu-sama, i will now do my duty properly this time."
