Chapter 3 - Maid
Marcelle (the maid) POV
I sighed in boredom as I prepared sweets for young master Bruno. I've been working here for 3 years, but I still can't think of anything I want to do with my life. I still have no thoughts of finding a partner or having a family, I still want to explore. I want to find a job that gives me passion and that inspires me every day to do my best.
But no, I still can't find one. Sometimes I wish I was one of those prodigies who go to that fancy school called Tai Brixten Academy. To have a certain dream or a path to strive for, I want that. But I, still haven't found a path that gives me passion.
But no, I still can't find one. Sometimes I wish I was one of those prodigies who go to that fancy school called Tai Brixten Academy. To have a certain dream or a path to strive for, I want that. But I, still haven't found a path that gives me passion.
That Rayleigh kid is pitiful indeed, he tries so hard at that school just to gain extraordinary talent or become a prodigy just to be officially enrolled at that school. Obviously, no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't magically become a prodigy by snapping his fingers. Whoever was born a prodigy remains a prodigy. For those who aren't, they're just normies, just extras at that gym.
Unfortunately for this boy, he was born to be such a slow learner, he's weak and doesn't have good skills. Even a single normal talent he doesn't have one. He is not good at swordsmanship like his older brother, Young Master Kevin. He is not good at studying like his other older brother Joseph. He's not even good at arts or instruments like the fifth son in the family, a year younger than young master Rayleigh, young master Bruno. He is also not good at shooting arrows like his older sister Marie.
Even if even most nobles don't have prodigy-like intelligence, they should at least have some good qualities and abilities. Young Master Rayleigh isn't good at anything, being the slow learner that he is, other people have started to think he must be a retard.
Because of this, he was an embarrassment to the family and his family turned their backs on him, giving him the cold shoulder.
I heard that the young master is a cruel child, he treats people like garbage as if he doesn't even see them as a person. I've only seen the young master once, but my mind was full of thoughts this time, so I couldn't pay much attention to his appearance. As I recall my memory, he has pink hair.
Well, whatever. Most importantly, I must keep in mind that I must not approach him or even make eye contact.
I gave a yawn, pushing those thoughts aside, I need to think more about the important things I need to do. I bring the tray full of pastries with me and leave the kitchen. Then, suddenly, I heard a voice call out to me.
"Wait!"
I saw a pink haired boy running towards me with an excited expression on his face. I immediately recognize that hair, there's no mistaking it, it's young master Rayleigh.
I just noticed that, I didn't know young master Rayleigh could be so handsome. In fact, her face is quite attractive to the eyes. What a waste, if he didn't have a cruel personality, a lot of people would look up to him.
"Those deserts can I get them!? Please?" the boy looks at me with those beautiful blue or gray eyes of his, which is very hard to tell.
I looked at the young master in shock, I couldn't believe he was actually talking to me. I hear from the rumors that he is cold and becomes very aggressive with anyone who talks to him, which is why the workers here don't last long. But the rumors about him sound different from what they described. The cruel boy they were talking about is standing right in front of me, smiling with a bright expression on his face.
Suddenly the boy flinched and looked at me. His bright expression quickly changes to a stoic face that has replaced the bright aura with a cold one, which is now exactly what the rumors have described. I started to get nervous.
'I think the rumors were true...' I thought.
He then coughed, trying to clear his throat, and said, "I want these desserts. Just three are enough."
The voice sounded so monotonous, there are no emotions in it unlike what he did earlier to get my attention.
I looked at the young master in confusion. Earlier I saw him smile like a happy child, but then he suddenly changed his expression to a stoic one. Completely erasing the glowing aura he had previously emitted. Strange.
I hesitated for a while, but still I spoke.
"Young master, I heard that you hate sweets. How co-" Before I could finish my sentence, we both heard a loud growl coming from a certain stomach.
"Goooool."
We both stood there in silence. I saw young master Rayleigh flush with embarrassment.
That's when I realized that it was the young master's stomach that rumbled.
'Oh my... how cute!"
I cover my mouth to hide the smile on my lips as I look at the young master in awe. He is already 15 years old, but he is so cute. I bet he would be cuter if he was a little boy.
"Forget everything that just happened and give me those deserts."
He tries to tell me in a demanding tone, but I could see that he is now blushing wildly. I could clearly see a crimson red blush on her cheeks. I see now, he is a tsundere. He's trying his best not to let anyone show that cute, childish side of him. Now I understand why the rumors portrayed how cold his expression was. But it seems that not all the rumors are true. I think that no matter how cold and intimidating he may seem, deep down, there's a cute and childlike personality hidden under that mask.
I started to shiver, trying to contain the urge to pinch her cheeks. No Marcelle, you must control yourself, don't pinch his cheeks. Just no.
"As you wish, young master. I think three is not enough, so I'll pack all these deserts to satisfy your appetite." I bowed to him as I finally regained my composure.
The young master looks at me with bright eyes, which makes me think how cute he is as a puppy.
Young master, are you 15 years old?! Act like you're old!!! I'm fighting the urge to pinch both her cheeks.
I immediately ran back to the kitchen and packed all the desserts, then went back and gave them to him.
He immediately accepts the food with his usual stoic expression and hurries out of the mansion.
That's weird, his personality wasn't exactly like the rumors said. Weren't those rumors actually true?...
