The Fair Maiden
In the kitchen, the chef was making steamed salmon, while lemon pudding was being poured over in the bowls. The smell of different foods filled the air and made it tempting. I was there taking out the the silverware and plates from the drawer and cabinet which Madame bought from Paris last year.
"Jun!", said someone from behind.
I turned back instantly to look who called me, and saw Mister Claude with a fiery look as always. Mister Claude was the butler of our Headmistress.
"Our guests are here, so leave the taking out of silverware to Nina and call young lady from her room. Our Headmistress wants her to attend them", said Mister Claude.
"This will be all Mister Claude?", I inquired.
"Yes!" the answer came. "Now hurry, you know our Mistress doesn't like to wait, so hurry."
With that I left the kitchen to call young lady.
My name is Jun, I am 25 years old and have been working for Bougainville family since the age of 15.
Before our kind Headmaster hired me, I would steal food and money to survive.
After being hired, due to trivial circumstance, I came here to this Rose mansion, and now serving our Headmistress who is nothing but cruel and seems as if made up of whole worlds hatred.
Upon reaching the room of our Young lady, I knocked twice on the door to get the permission to enter.
"Come in!" came the answer in a sweet, low voice from inside. I opened the door and enter, there in that room near the wide window, bright sunlight was entering, and our Young lady was standing with a sweet smile on her rosy red lips, looking at me. She had beautiful light blonde hairs, which were silky as silk, jewel eyes of the colour of sky blue and ocean green, with a fair complexion. She has pink cheeks with cute round face and an elegant height of 5.6 ft, a slim body which seems as if it would break if not handled gently. And not to mention her artistic, sensitive long hands with beautiful nails. She looks like an angle and without any doubt is worthy to be known as "The White Rose" of Rose Mansion.
"Yes Jun! How come you are here?" asked Young lady Violet.
"Ahh, Yes!", startled and embarrassed, I replied at once.
"What is wrong Jun? Why are you startled like that?" Young lady Violet asked with a slightly worried expression.
"Oh, it is nothing Lady Violet, I just cannot take my eyes of you everytime I see you and today in this blue dress you are looking as if you are an Angel.
"Haha, everytime you see me, you tell me the same thing whether I am in my sleeping dress or uniform, those are the words I hear from you", Lady Violet said with a slight giggle.
"I cannot help it my lady", I was replying while scratching my cheek with one finger due to embarrassment, "Oh! I almost forgot, I came here to pick you up, since the guests are here and waiting for you, so please let's go otherwise Headmistress will be very angry with us."
The moment I said those words, I could see that innocent smile vanishing away carried with a grave expression appearing on her face with eyes filled with sadness.
"So, the guests are here and once again mother wants me to serve them", a sad voice said.
Then by forcing a smile on her face she asked me to take her there. During our way to the room where guests were none of us talked to each other and I could feel the sadness around us, but had no words to console her or do anything for her.
