‘I’ve been here for almost two weeks, but that’s enough for me to understand the situation where I was.’ She’s looking at the sky from the window in the hallway.
‘Thank goodness, I still have the ‘sense of betrayal’ ability, but not as strong as my real body’. She thought while looking at the maid coming her way to the hallway. She continued... ‘Like this maid, I sensed her disloyalty of this estate’.
The maid just walks past by at her without any greetings. ‘How rude this sh** huh? We will see,’ she thought.
“Did you just pass by me? Huh? Like you didn’t see anyone?”, she said loudly enough that the maid will hear it.
“Excuse me?”, the maid said to her. “Did you say something to me, lady?”.
“Lady? A mere maid like you, calls me just like that?” She made sure that one of her left eyebrows was high enough to the other.
“You, I don’t like insulting someone, but it’s like you made me do it!”, she walks closer to her with the confidence of who the master was.
“Let me remind you, mere maid, I AM the daughter of a duke! The master of this house and you just insulted me!?”, her eyes were fierce looking down at the maid.

“Ma... Ma... My lady, I’m so sorry, it was my mistake! I really didn’t see you were there my lady”, she responded without batting an eye at her.
‘Hmn... It’s like this is not the first time it happens like this. The way she responded to me. Hmn... I see’. She was thinking of what she will do to her.
“I see... You’re totally freaking fuc**** rude to me, not to mention your shi*** lies”, she smiles at the maid, a kind smile she can give.
“Excuse me?” the maid didn’t understand what she said.
“Mere maid, remember this kind of smile I gave to you.” she points her index finger at the forehead of the maid, “because I will make sure this is the last kind smile, I can give you today”.
She saw the maid make a little quiver to herself.
“Ah... Remember this also, within five days starting tomorrow, I will make sure you will be the one example for all”, she gave a kind smile again to the maid. “Be sure you enjoy your days”, then she winked at the maid before she turned her back. ‘It will be painful for you, a painful memory it should be’, she thought while she whistled.
Before she turns to the left corner, she saw in the corner of her eyes the rude maid trembled to the ground. She felt relieved.
********************
On that night, she said to the duke and duchess that she wants a private talk with them. She made up her mind that she will tell them the truth because that’s how she felt it.
Within those two weeks, she observed how lovable Zenniah’s parents are. Only small parts of memories of Zenniah she remembers, it came slowly at her. Enough knowledge to know the name of the people that are close to Zenniah, including how her parents love her.
“It’s me... Fa... Father”, she still hesitates to use the word father to call the duke.
“Come in my lovely daughter”, the duchess opens the door to her with a warm smile.
When she sees the two of them waiting for her, she thought ‘these warm feelings I felt, how come I will not tell the truth to them’. She gives a gentle smile she can give to them.
