Valaye never thought she would agree to Aunt Zen's offer. She was nervous when her sheets came together on the selection paper. If she was found out then it was certain that her and Aunt Zen's fate would be sealed.
Her face was deathly pale, she was trembling. She walked through the hallway to the cafeteria. Her oversized uniform was full of patches. She entered with a smile on her face, but no one paid her any mind.
She realized that, she understood how people ostracized her. Some of the people in the orphanage didn't like her. They always prioritized pity because she had been living alone, which fueled the hatred towards her who still had a family.
"Look, she deliberately came to the cafeteria in her shabby clothes." Said the boy who had bullied her. He's the same kid who treated her like a puppet. They were actors putting on a show.
"Hay Valeye." Shouted the boy who used to bully her, cryon, with a few other kids.
Valeye heard that, but he ignored it. He knew it would end badly just not in a crowded place it would be very embarrassing.
"He deliberately ignored your call, is he going to fight back again." a group of boys spoke to Cryon. The boy was provoking emotions. That sentence stirred up emotions towards Valaye.
"You are so arrogant, is it because he feels different from us." The voice sounded mocking. A kid threw sauce at him.
"Hey, cryon, if you hate Valeye so much why don't you just move out of this orphanage." a familiar voice, she was Isabel, Valeye's friend.
The sauce that Isabel threw, hit her face, even her eyes stung with it, she still tried to walk out of the cafeteria, crashing several times, with her eyes closed.
She hoped to leave this place as soon as possible. Even if it meant leaving some of her best friends behind. She had endured her torment for several years, even thinking about Aunt Zen's offer, long enough to turn 11 and feel confident in her decision.
Ever since the doll incident, Valeye had never retaliated against what was done to her, she was silent about the pain. Even if Aunt Zen asked her, she would just say that she fell because she was careless.
Time passed, she had prepared some of her belongings to take with her, her small mini bag, she thought of saying goodbye to the animals at Dessie lake, it was behind the old church, a few kilometers away from the orphanage.
She smiled at the sky from the bed through the gap in the wall. Stars accompanied the moon in the sky. Once again she prayed to the gods. Not forgetting to pray for Auntie Zen and her friends.
Everything will pass, I just need to try to calm down, god is with me. Mom and Dad will be sad if I cry, I will be a grown-up girl who makes her brother Morgan proud. All her hopes are neatly recorded every night with beautiful prayers in the sacred mind of the little valeye girl.

"Why would an idiot like you dare to touch my things." His eyes stared intently at the servant who had lost his things.
He said asking for forgiveness, as low as possible with a frightened voice, so far, the duke was known for his cold and ignorant temperament, but his stern and handsome face could adjust the situation.
"Sorry, duke, I was really negligent in this matter." She said with great regret. She was even close to shedding her tears.
That cold face seemed to darken. Ortiz saw it, he knew how upset Revar was at the moment. He looked calm but the look in his eyes was that of a demon.
"How long have you been serving this mansion." The Duke said indifferently, but not in his tone. He silently let the servant speak.
Hearing that, she felt that the duke was giving her mercy. Well she was sure of it. She felt that there was hope there, behind the duke's question to her. "Seven years." Even though she was shaking, she still spoke and the duke listened until she finished.
"HM." Rever turned around, he stepped near the window, looking at the bridge that connected the duke to the big city. His eyes savored "It's gone." Her voice sounding relaxed, she murmured. Her hands held the pretty fabric, until the sunlight hit her beautiful face. His central heterocrimia eyes, seemed to glance with a tail. Well he knew what he should do to keep her satisfied.
Rever stepped over, he sat back in the chair, his legs resting on the table interlocked.
"I think you're working too hard at the mission, you'll be transferred to the facility." He said as he opened the book. She was calm now. But the servant was not, he was shocked and did not accept the pity of a duke rever.
"No duke, I'm better off here, I won't lose your things again, I promise." She shouted, her body trembling. Unacceptable, all the servants and even the people knew that festipe punishment was the lowest. Even pulling out fingernails while she was conscious was the lightest.
"It would be better for you to accept it." Ortiz immediately took the servant away, even though he had a few brains. Rever was silent for a moment. Was there regret on his face. The answer was no, he was even more curious about how the old servant would serve his time with an animal that wasn't even naturally formed.
He smiled with pride.
"Ah, she seems to be in the mood to play. No problem. It's just that why in my territory, it's certain that I won. That chessboard, yeah." She said, continuing to read the book intently.
Rever tilted his face, his hand propped up with an idah. Well he remembered the painting on the river dessie. "Isn't she perfect with that sculpture." He said again.
