Zixin woke up and sat in his bed. He looked around his room and saw Marshall in his bed. Zixin yawned and stood up, going to the desk near him and taking the metal comb. He sat back in his bed and started to comb his hair. He was precise and focused, this is his daily routine.
Not long after, Marshall also woke up. Nothing much happened, and they went and headed to take their breakfast.
After breakfast, Zixin went to the Library where Aiko was, reading her book and learning the language from her. This became their routine for a few days until they finally needed to go back.
Aiko decided to go with Zixin, and Marshall prepared the carriage they used to travel here. After a few more minutes, Zixin and Aiko sat inside the carriage and Marshall made the carriage move.
Inside the carriage and on the journey to go back, Zixin was still being thoroughly taught by Aiko the language.
…
Inside a dimly lit room, there lay a young beauty on her couch. Her long red hair was messy, making her look unkept and improper. She wore a red robe that flowed down to her feet and a golden ring on her ring finger. She was awoken by a sound and her eyes slowly opened themselves. Her black gem-like eyes moved according to her will and scanned her messy surroundings.
The floor was littered with tissue papers, and the bed sheet on the bed, which she didn't lay herself in, was messy. The room was filled with the smell of sweat and…
She soon stood up and left her messy bedroom. Outside her bedroom was a small room, no, a small interior. Her house was rather small; it was not even her's; it was a rented house. She lazily walked forward to her kitchen and found a container that had a small letter sitting on top of it.
She then took the letter and read its contents, her voice was truly beautiful, "Dear Father, I hope you will wake up to see and read this letter. Please, get a hold of yourself and take good care of our home. Mother has already left this morning for the company. She has been taking good care of it, her diligence is slowly paying off. Please, be there to see her, please, be there to support her. Setting this aside for now, the food was made by me, I hope you will like it. As for our dear maid, she has yet to wake up. Please, when she wakes up, tell her to clean your bedroom. The smell of your… has already invaded my room next to yours.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Sincerely, Alice of Existence."
The young lady sighs, seeming to be rather annoyed. She then opened the container and saw the meal left for her by her daughter. It was a rather appetizing meal, it was fried rice. The rice was cooked with meat, carrots, and several other vegetables. She wasn't very picky and started digging into her meal. The first bite made her smile; the food was delicious, but that wasn't what made her smile. It made her happy that her daughter's cooking skills have become better over the past few years.
While eating, a maid entered the kitchen. The young lady glanced at her and chuckled. The maid wore her maid uniform made out of fine silk. Her hair was perfectly combed and with fine ornaments holding them together to not bother her work. Her hair was colored black just like her black eyes, which made her look rather cold and uncaring. Her skin was snow-white, making her look like a beauty standing above men. Her looks alone make looking at her hard to resist, but her cold personality shuts all possibility of romance. But compared to the young lady, her looks are non-existent.
The maid then entered the young lady's bedroom with little care for the young lady herself. The young lady simply continued to eat, her smile seemingly eternal in nature. After a good while, the meal was finally completely eaten by her, not a single piece of rice was left in the container.
And just as the young lady finished her meal, the maid finally left her bedroom. The young lady stole a glance at her bedroom and saw a completely clean room, the smell eradicated, no longer invading the air. The maid carried the pieces of trash with her and slowly left the room. The young lady, meanwhile, stood up and washed the dishes; after she was done, the maid entered the room once more
"Master, Lady Alice has told me to tell you to not go out for the day. She said that you will likely do something that will be harmful for all of us." The maid spoke, her tone cold.
The young lady replied in annoyance, her words sounding playful, "Come on now, how many times have I even caused trouble? Two? Three? Maybe even five?"
Hearing her try to make herself look innocent, the maid replied with a response that made the young lady even more annoyed, "Exactly, twenty-eight times."
The young lady simply sighed, knowing she had been defeated; her playful tricks never once worked on her maid, yet she kept trying, lessening her sanity.
She stretched her body for a few minutes and stopped. She looked at her maid and spoke in annoyance, her voice playful, "Oh how annoying. Alice, at least, has some reactions. Are you a cold, calculating demon disguised with the flesh of a human?"
The maid simply stared at her, not speaking because the answer was obvious enough.
The young lady sighs, "Ok, got it. By the way, did Alice cook the meal? Wait, she said you were asleep by then, so I can't ask you huh? Annoying. Hmm… oh, a good idea came to mind; I suppose there is no need to ask her, huh?"
She grins and runs to her balcony like a madman. She stared down at the beautiful scenery before her eyes. The sky was colored azure, with the clouds colored white dancing in the air. The streets below her were bustling with people, carriages one after the other could be heard. Kids playing in the streets, and a bell?
The sound of a bell could be heard. The sound was divine, almost otherworldly. The people then look in a certain direction after they hear of it. Some smiled, some were amazed, and some were cheering. The people on the streets started talking about the bell, congratulating the lucky one.
But the young lady couldn't be bothered about this any longer, no, she had another plan in mind. She sighs deeply, her mind going blank as she jumps off her balcony, falling her way down.
