[ 3 days before marriage ]

"I told you, I want it like that, not like this."

"But lord, your hairs look so much better longer!" Said George, brother of one of the maids Yuna. George was a praiseworthy barber. I was not supposed to get a haircut by the hand of a peasant.

"Will you listen to me please?" I was getting irritated while also liking the banter.

"But wh-"

"Call Yuna!" I ordered May. The five of them were laughing at our interaction.

"No! Not her!" He pleaded.

"Oh Yuna!" May headed out to bring Yuna.

"Lord, you are so evil"

"Who was the one not listening to me, huh?

*smack*

Yuna Smacked George's back. "Do as he says now!"

"Ouch! Okay Okay!" The haircut begun.

I chose the hairstyle that I had in my past life. My friends asked me to get it because it would suit my face and it did. My dad liked it too. He complimented me even if he wasn't the type to.

"I- It looks good" I swear I saw George blush.

"W- Woah!" Yuna stuttered.

"It's perfect!" Tress jumped to see me from upclose.

"It fits you."

"Yeah, it does! I hope no one cast an evil eye"

"Yeah"

I looked at myself in the mirror finally. It was a left side parted layer cut, no fade, a bit longer from back, upto my neck and the layered hair covered some of my right side of forehead, giving it bang like feeling. It suited this face more. My reddish brown hair really complimented my caramel eyes and fair skin. I am..... attractive? So my hairs were butchering up my looks, and my body posture and dressing sense. Now I wore tucked in, half buttoned down white shirts, that I didn't before.

Agnes's pov

Lord has certainly changed. We all felt so. He started opening up since last six month. Before he woke up, sat in his room all day and occasionally came out. His room was always very cold and dark. But now, its always open, filled with sunlight and he started reading, exercising and having fun with us. He also started joining us for the picnic ritual. Talked to us and treated us equally, easily gave us holidays to meet our family and started standing up to Catherine! I hope we all stay happy like this forever.

"Well, see you guys have such a handsome lord!" I turned around and grinned. I was joking around.

"Seems like it!"

"We have to brag about it now"

"Yeah! To people in the village!"

"A LOT of maids will come to work for free!"

"Profit!"

I love this ridiculous talk with them.

"Now, what do we do?"

"George, leave." Yuna took his hand and left the room with him.

"Uh, why?" I wonder what they have planned.

"You HAVE to be the most attractive"

Nabi came in with the rolling serving cart with a bowl, face mask, stone roller and other things. We have invented face mask? It was a napkin like thing with structure of face that was wet with weird, sticky looking fluids. It ws kept on a plate.

"The bowl is just mixture of honey, gram flour, turmeric, coffee powder and curd."

"Other option is gram flour, milk, honey and turmeric"

"And this one just has mixture of coconut oil and honey"

"Do we really have to do all this?"

"Just trust us Lord."
