After they bow towards Lord Nicolas,he left the gallery room.
The senior maid says ,"I'll take my leave as well, farewell ladies."
But then Sofia says ,"Wait! ,I want to ask you a question?
The senior maid answers, "You may, what is it do you like to ask? "
Sofia asks,"Why were you with Lord Nicolas just now?"
The senior maid answers ,"Actually i was on my way to cleaning the bathroom, which is passthrough the gallery room ,i don't expect that Lord Nicolas was on the gallery room and he suddenly stopped me from going and asked me about my opinion about the same painting he asked to you.
And then, you both came ,thats all."
Sofia says ,"Oh alright, i thought it was because of something else."
Then that senior maid replies ,"Don't think too far ,he will never do anything with people like us ,he is a lord duke ,he has no business with the maids ,all we have to do is to follow the rules and orders ,respect our masters and do your part as a human being. Remember ,all we do is not only for our masters ,but it is also for ourselves ,our family and for God."
Maria replies ,"Okay."
Maria thinks that this senior maid is a very wise person and she is really a saint ,just like her looks. She is a very religious person. Everything she said is always related to God.
She also sees that the senior maid wears a silver cross of Christ necklace at her neck.
Then Maria asks,"Are you came from a church?"
The senior maid replies ,"Yes ,I am ,you noticed ,because you seen my necklace ,isn't it?"
Maria says ,"Yeah."
The senior maid says ,"That's correct ,I'm from a church ,actually before i'm working here as maid, i worked as a nun.
I dedicated my life for God and then ,I heard that Sir.Igor offers the pastor of my church i worked in to summoned one of the nuns to work as a maid.
As an exchange ,the lord duke and the Grosvenor family will help the church when theres a problem and they will give a big offering to your church ,so the church would never lack of facility and your church could helped all people in need at Russia with their offering. The pastor rejected the offer ,because he thought that church is fine and doesn't need help from the nobles. But when I heard about it ,I volunteered myself to work at the WoodHound mansion as a maid ,because I believed that that offer could gives our church a very huge benefit.
I see this as a chance, because if we did this, all the nobles noticed of our church and go to our church. They all will repent from their sins. This is also gives our church safety ,because the Grosvenor family supports us and we could helped people more than ever before.
That's why I accept that offer and serve this family as a maid since Lady Natasha Grosvenor still alive until now."
Maria nods and says ,"I truly understand."
Then that senior maid says ,"Alright ,I'll take my leave now ,may God be with you and God bless you always."
Sofia asks ,"By the way ,what's your name."
That senior maid replies ,
"My name is Natalya."
Sofia also introduced herself, "My name is Sofia."
Maria says ,"My name is Maria."
Natalya replies ,"What a blissful name ,I'll remember you both ,its nice and a pleasure to meet you both good people."
Then ,Sofia and Maria say ,"It's nice to meet to you too."
Natalya waves her hand and says ,"Farewell ,Sofia and Maria."
Sofia and Maria says ,"Farewell ,Natalya."
Then, Natalya leaves the gallery room.
Maria likes Natalya ,she glads that this maid is kind ,humble ,honest and nice.
She makes a another new friend.
Sofia also respects her ,because she sees that this person is just want to do anything for God ,she has no bad intention.
But, Sofia still cautious with her.
And now ,Sofia gains Lord Nicolas's interest towards her.
Its all already a part of her scheming plan.
The plan is progressing and she will keep proceeding it.
She is on her way to the top.
For one purpose ,she always wanted.
Which is.
To win.
