"Eh? it's true?" Rin asked confused at this statement.
"Yes, it's true, now follow me, let me guide you to your new room, to introduce you."
The head servant said dryly and then leave the room unceremoniously, following her as she passed, poor Rin who still had some doubts for herself, which she expressed while they were walking.
"Why did I get promoted?"
"I don't know, and it's not my business," the head servant answered honestly, appeasing young Rin's curiosity a bit, bringing with this a bit of silence.
But this silence did not last that long, since the head servant while walking, as if releasing a bit of a regret that she was keeping, sighed, and commented to Rin.
"I don't like you, but like others like you who have been promoted, I can't help but tell you this: the back section, although it gives you more prestige and opportunities, is more dangerous." And without waiting for an answer from Rin, the head servant continued walking, remembering the different responses that the innocent young lady gave them when they heard her words.
Although most of all, she remembered the cruel fate suffered by some servants, who wanted to reach the stars.
And on the part of Rin, upon hearing this, to the consolation of the head servant, she could take into account her warning, it hurts that he could not thank her, for fear of a reply, she could only answer her with a submissive silence.

But this silence did not last forever, as they soon arrived at their destination, a bedroom just like the one that was before, but with the slight difference is that now, the servant, their new companions were dressed in blue.
"She is your new partner, it goes without saying that they treat her fairly and teach her how the customs are here, anyway, for now, she will work sweeping the backyard, that's all."
And having said those words just like the previous time, the head servant left the place just like that, leaving the young Rin once again at the mercy of her new companions.
Like in her previous status, her companions, none gave her more difficulties, than her rejection due to the rules, but, this time, Rin felt that this time, she felt a greater hatred from them.
But even with this, her life continued, which did not change greatly, it was just another courtyard to sweep with a different uniform.
If you can name a few changes, it's the most common presence of the masters, the master's eldest son being the first to appear in front of her while she was working.
"Hello, how are you?" Said the young master appearing out of nowhere, surprising the young Rin.
"I'm fine, thanks for your concern, this servant doesn't deserve it," Rin thanked him taking the etiquette a bit into account.
"I'm glad, by the way, that you think the fair treatment I have achieved with you and with that servant I expelled."
Hearing this, Rin in her mind began to connect everything that happened, with what she said reaching a surprising conclusion, so much that it left her dry for a few moments, but then confirmed this with the young master.
"Young Master, you ..."
"Yes it was me, I fixed everything, take it as you want, but here everyone receives the same treatment, and it seemed fair, to get rid of a plague and promote a great worker like you."
"I ... Thank you very much, this humble servant does not deserve such favor."
"Quiet, as I told you I only apply justice, well I have to go, I have lessons."
And with that farewell, the young master once again planted the young Rin lost in her thoughts, as well as, without Rin being aware of this, it was that the young master had cultivated in her heart a dangerous and bittersweet seed.
