Mira and I walked back to my chamber. Dinner had gone well, and I had a great time talking with the staff of Clorance Manor. Initially, they were cautious with their words around me, but as we enjoyed the food together, we grew closer.
As we reached the front of my chamber, I turned to look at Mira, who had been following me from behind.
I smiled at her. "Thank you for tonight, Mira. I really enjoyed dinner."
"You don't need to thank me, my lady. It's my job and duty as your maid," Mira replied, returning the smile.
"Well, that's true." I turned away from her and opened the door. "But you know, Mira..." I looked back at her again. "Besides being my maid, you're also my friend."
I noticed that she paused at my words, unable to respond. So I smiled at her, sensing that she was still processing what I had said.
"You can go and rest now, Mira. Good night," I said before entering the room. And just as I was about to close the door, I heard Mira's soft but audible voice.
"Ah yes... Good night, my lady..."
Nginitian ko siyang muli bago tuluyang isinara na ang pinto ng silid.
Habang naglalakad ako patungo sa kama ay hindi ko mapigilan na alalahanin ang itsura ng mukha ni Mira nang sabihin ko sa kaniya na other than being my maid ay kaibigan din ang turing ko sa kaniya.
"She's so cute. The way she looked at me somehow reminds me of Belle though..." I mumbled, speaking into the air.
Pabagsak akong humiga sa kama. I had never imagined sleeping on such a luxurious mattress. It was incredibly soft and comfortable.
I've known myself as someone who's hard to fall asleep at night. I kind off have an insomnia back then. But this bed... It didn't even took me long before I found myself comfortably sleeping.

Mira walked back to her quarters, lost in her thoughts. She didn't even realize that she had reached her room's door until Silvia, her roommate, snapped her back to reality.
"Hey, Mira. Why are you just standing there? Are you okay?" Silvia asked, concerned.
Silvia, a laundry maid, was the closest in age to Mira among all the maids in Clorance Manor. They somehow managed to get along well. While Mira still had noble blood despite her family's fallen status, Silvia was a commoner. She only knew her mother and had no knowledge of her father. They struggled to have at least two meals a day, but unfortunately, Silvia's mother passed away from an illness when Silvia was just fifteen years old.
If it hadn't been for the late Countess Clorance, Silvia would probably have ended up on the streets or worse.
Mira shook her head. "It's nothing, Silvia. Sorry you had to see me lost in my thoughts."
