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.
