Bonnie woke up early and excited, as she always do. She quickly put on her uniform, put her hair on a bun and procided to wake up all the other maids on the dormitory by clapping, marching and singing what they called "the wake up song", while dogding the pillow Ann threw at her.
- You should give up on singing! You sound like a dying fox giving birth! -
Ann said. Bonnie ignored her comment and even helped her with her hair.
Bonnie went out of the dormitory fast and already got her beloved bucket and broom, but right before she tried to use magic to sumon the water inside the bucket, Yana (another maid) used her own broom to push Bonnie to the kitchen.
- Breakfast first, cleaning later. -
Yana said.
- You clean freak! -
Ollie (another maid) said.
In the kitchen, there was a pile of bread, made by Vymiru, the assistant cook.
- SHE made the food? Why are we always with the trash? -
Ollie complained.
- Maybe because we are PAID to deal with trash? -
Ninarose (another maid) said.
- But guys, look! Out of the 30 breads, only 12 of them became coal! That's a massive evolution! -
Bonnie pointed out with a smile on her face, after separating the edible bread from the carbonized ones.
- 13 to 12 isn't exactly what I would call a massive evolution but fine I guess? -
Ollie said.
- It looks like a dragon made them. -
Ann said, while grabbing one of them.
- Dragon? No! What dragon? There is no dragon here! -
Vymiru answered.
The maids fought to see who would eat the edible bread, while Ann ate her carbonized bread until the Angelo, the cook gave them all edible bread.
- WHY ARE YOU STILL EATING? WE HAVE TO CLEAN AND VINCENT HAS SOMETHING TO TELL US! -
Tina, one of the babysitters, entered screaming at the staff. The maids went running at the same time and 4 of them got stuck in the door, so Vymiru pushed them out by kicking Ann's butt and throwing her to the middle of the dining room with the impact.
- Never do that again, you're lucky there was nobody in the dining room. -
Angel said, in a very tired voice, while opening the stock door, entering and closing the door, Vymiru tried to follow him but when she opened the door, it just had kitchen utensils. So she flied to Vicent's office, she dashed to the office where Angel, the maids and babysitters were already there, with Vincent Van Blue and his wife, Elizabeth Van Blue.
- I believe that you know that we are going to the capital tomorrow.. -
Vincent said with a smile on his face.
- We are going to be out for two weeks. Since Margareth, Meredith and Marcus are coming with us, the babysitters will also come. -
He completed.
- But you are not getting out of this place until we come back! And this place better be shining, the meal need to be perfect and already served when we get back here! Do you understand? -
Elizabeth said, in a mean way and almost screaming. All of the servants answered with a "Yes Madam!" like they were her soldiers or something like that. After that, Elizabeth chose 2 maids to pack their bags, being Ann and Ninarose, while her children's bags would be packed by their sitters.
Ann initially got excited, until she realized she had to pack Vincent's bags, instead of Elizabeth. Then she got depressed and packed the bags looking and acting dead inside. Ninarose was the one to pack Elizabeth's. The noblewoman went to her closet and threw her clothes at Ninarose, who gave up on trying to pack her clothes until Elizabeth was over and picked all the clothes and shoes she wanted.
- Call the water maid, there is no way that I will be going without a shower. -
Elizabeth said in a condescending way, while Ninarose was lost in the middle of a pile of clothes. She went to the door and asked Ollie, who was cleaning the windows in the corridor in front of Elizabeth's closet, to call Bonnie.
Every noble has the so-called water maids or water butlers, those are the servants that have water magic. They are way more efficient than a well and are the main responsibles for the water in the kitchen, bathrooms, gardens and cleaning. They also can be recognized easily by having a water drop shaped button on their chest. Bonnie is the only water maid at the Van Blue mansion.
Bonnie rapidly went to the bathroom and used her magic to fill the bathtub in seconds.
- Would you like me to properly prepare the bath, madam? -
Bonnie asked, after raising her hand.
- Go ahead. The other one is packing my bags. Roses, as usual. -
Elizabeth answered. Bonnie lit a candle and put it on the bottom of the bathtub before going to the garden and meeting the gardener.
- Hi Walter! Do you have any roses? -
Bonnie asked.
- Sure! Lady Elizabeth and her randomly timed baths, am I right? -
The gardener answered with a creepy smile. He stood up from the floor and went to grab a bucket with the rose petals he had picked when he woke up.
- Thank you Walter! -
Bonnie grabbed the bucket and went straight to the bathroom where Elizabeth was, finished preparing her bath and helped Ninarose while the noblewoman was in the bathroom.
After the Van Blue family finally got out of the property. Ann was angrily staring at Bonnie, who was mopping the floor.
- …Ann? -
She asked, concerned.
- How. Could. You? -
Ann asked, with her face red and tears in her eyes.
- What have I done? -
Bonnie asked.Â
- DO NOT PLAY DUMB WITH ME!! YOU TOOK A BATH WITH MY MADAM ELIZABETH! -
Ann screamed dramatically, while Ninarose and Ollie were watching.
- Well, I am the water maid. I'm responsible for everyone's baths here. -
Bonnie answered.
- YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST CALLED ME! WHAT KIND OF FRIEND ARE YOU? I just hope she hasn't slapped you! -
Ann screamed dramatically, with her face red and tears in her eyes, and stormed out of there.
- I hope those two weeks are filled with drama. -
Ollie said.
- I think it is gonna be just louder than it usually is. -
Ninarose said.
