CHAPTER 1
Elizabeth used to be a noble until her father,baron Eleanor went bankrupt due to certain circumstances. Now she works at a mansion as a maid. It's the house of Vailos. One of the strongest family.
-Lizzy? Here you are. You are reading again? The head maid was looking for you everywhere. You must be the only maid who read all of the books in the library.
-That can't be true,can it?
-Anyway go and see why she was calling for you.
-Ok.
-Goodness Lizzy where were you? Were you reading again?
-Ahhaha....
-Gosh what am i supposed to do with you. Go and clean the master's room. He is coming back from the expedition.
-Oh yes Ms.Mortan. Hm...why is the room so dusty.....cough...cough.
-Lizzy? Lzzy?
-Yes,coming.
-The master has come back. Did you finish cleaning up?
-Yes.
-Then go and attend to the master.
-Ah....yes.
-Lizzy!!!
-Yes?
-Can you bring these to the master. I have to go and fetch something.
-Sure. Master can i come in?
-Come in.
-Um...here is your lunch. If you need anything else,please call us.
-Hm.
-Oh Lizzy. What does the master look like?
-He is average.
-Really. Everyone is average in your eyes. That must be why you need glasses.
Flora laughed like an idiot saying that. But i didn't mind. It's true i wear glasses. But it's beacause i can't see well without them. I wonder why does she always pick on me.
-Gosh you are so rude Flora.
-Mary?
-Also Lizzy,you should stand up for yourself. What will happen when i am not here...tch.
And here is Mary. She is one of the old maid working here.
-What are you all doing here chit-chatting? Go and finish your work.
-Don't you think the head maid is scary Lizzy?
-Ah...but she does care about us.
-Sigh...who knows.
-By the way how long have you been working here Mildred?
-Hm...probably six months. What about you?
-Two months.
-Wow. You does everything so neatly,no one would know you are a new maid.
-Is that so.
-Oh you are here Lizzy.
-What are you doing?
-As you can see,i am cleaning the room and i found something in the drawer. Is that yours?
-Ah...
-Lizzy i am not educated but this looks like a certificate.
-(I guess there is no point in hiding.) Yeah,this is a certificate. I got it when i graduated from the academy with the top number.
-Wow i never knew you were such an excellent person.
-You flatter me. But now it is of no use.
-That's not true Lizzy. I heard from the maids that you used to be a governess.
-Yeah.
-Why did you quit?
-I can't get along with the children that well so i failed to teach them.
-Lizzy unlike us,you used to be a noble. I think you shouldn't work as a maid.
-I can't do anything about that now.
-Are you going to give up on your dream?
-My dream?
-Yes your dream. The dream that you always wanted.
-(Right. I forgot what i wanted to do beacause i was so busy with my current life. My dream was to become a writer. A writer who can write any kind of story. I wanted to write to my heart content. But i forgot about that or rather i forced myself to forget about it.)
-Don't give up on your dream Lizzy.
-Mary.....thanks.
As i hugged Mary,i realised i was trying to bury my dream like a fool.
-Oh Mary you are here. Where is that bookworm. Is she reading again? She must really have a lot if time in her hand.
Looking at Flora with angry eyes Mary said,Oh my you must be jealous of her because she is better than you.
-What!!!!
-Don't be angry. Try to do better instead of bullying someone.
-Enough both of you. Mary go and check if master's lunch is ready or not. And you Flora go and clean the hallway.
-Ugh....
-Gosh that child. She is too sensitive.
When everyone is busy with their work. Elizabeth is reading in the corner of the library.
-Oh Elizabeth?
-Ma-ster!!!
-You don't have to yell like that.
-I am sorry.
-Were you reading?
-Ah...yes.
-It's look like you are quite interested in that book.
-Yes,it's a nice story.
-Who is your favourite writer?
-Oh it's probably Charles Dickens.
-Oh did you read David Cooperfield then?
-Yes,it's one of my favourite book. What about you master?
-Ah...it's Charlotte Brońte.
-Oh i have also read her novels.
-You should probably go back to work.
-Ahh...right well then excuse me master.
