The clock is ticking at exactly twelve at midnight.

“As long as I am in this body, I am no longer Hennah who’s a leader, but a daughter of royalty, a noble blood huh...”, she plopped on the bed.

“Now, I am really Zenniah. Our conversation has ended quietly long, look at the time now is totally late. And now I felt really tired”, she added.

“Tomorrow will be another day and the beginning for myself being Zenniah DeLa Wharlton”, she keeps talking to herself until she fell asleep without her noticing.

********************

One of her closest attendants knock three times in her room to prepare her morning routines.

“My lady, this is Geny. I will come inside to prepare your breakfast and bath.”

“Yes, please come in.”

When Geny heard her permission to come in, she came inside with a tray full of light breakfast.

“Good morning my lady, did you sleep well last night?”, Geny asks.

“This one is loyal to me; I mean as Zenniah”, she thought. “They’re three loyal to her, they’re cousins. As far as I had a glimpse of her memories, I believed these three are really loyal attendants to her. To be precise I didn’t smell any betrayal to them”, she added.

“My lady?”, Geny was confused when she was only looking at her without answering.

“My lady are you okay?”, she called out again to her.

“Yes, I am alright, and I did really sleep well last night. Thank you for asking of that”, she smiles at her.

“I see... That’s really great to hear my lady”, she replied.

“Geny, your name, right?” she asks.

“Yes?” Geny was confused that her lady asking her name.

“You already knew about my condition, because I hit my head that hard. I forgot some people's names; I mean I just want to make sure about it. I hope you’re not offended by that,” she said.

“Oh no! My lady. How come a lowly maid like me gets offended by that,” she replied.

“Don’t say it like that Geny. You, Gaile, and Girly were very helpful to me when I was sick. To be honest, I’m so grateful for that,” she said to her.

She saw in Geny's face like she was about to cry, and she interrupted it.

“Geny, if you are done preparing my breakfast, can you please prepare my bath now,” she gave her a warm smile.

“Oh yes, my lady. I’m so sorry about that I almost forgot.”

Then she bows her head to go.

When Geny was preparing her bath, she pulls the ring to call another maid. When the maid came inside, she said.

“Call Gaile and Girly for me,” she said.

“I can’t, my lady, the head maid just gave them work this morning,” the maid replied. “They need to do their work first of what the head maid was given them,” she added.

“How rude this sh** to defy my order so early morning,” she thought.

“I ask you, is the head maid a higher status than mine? Answer me,” she said.

“Of course not, my lady. Your status is higher than the head maid my lady,” she replied.

“Well, at least you know that fact,” she said while giving her a fierce look.

She saw the maid flinch a little when she saw her looking fiercely at her.

“I don’t want to say it twice,” Zenniah added.

Before the maid could reply, Geny came back from the bathroom.

“My lady, your bath is already ready,” Geny said, and she saw the other maid in the room. “Oh, you are here Reen, what are you doing here?” she added.

“My lady calls me,” she replied.

“And defies my order,” Zenniah continued.

“Reen, how could you do that to our lady?” Geny faces her.

“But Geny, she wants Gaile and Girly to come here, you know also that they have work to do this morning,” she replied.

“She wants? Did you just say ‘she’ to our lady in this house?” Geny starts to get mad at Reen. “Did you know you're being disrespectful to our lady? And you also defy our lady’s command!” Geny continues scolding her. “How could you do that?! You should know your pla--”.

Zenniah interrupted her.

“Enough that one Geny.”

“But, but, my lady.”

“I have plans of what to do today, and I don’t want that plans to get ruined just because of this,” she said. “Don’t worry Geny I will make sure to remember this rudeness,” she looks at Reen directly in the eyes, “Reen is your name, right?”, she added.

“...” Reen couldn’t reply to her and started to realize what she did.

Zenniah stands up and she walks to get closer to Reen. She stops when only six steps away from her.
