❘❘❘❘❘❘ ❛ Working for a publishing company and being involved in a scandal of using her position to bully the weak, Lilian was ordered by...
━─── Abigail, who is the maid, walked out of the room, meeting the curious gaze of the knights guarding the door. She contemplated for a while, and remembered her young lady's word which is "It's not like having a nightmare is a big deal" which, to her, is a bit baffling.
Why?
Because Abigail is also one of the people who often tend to the daughter, or should she say, 'young girl' that the Duke and Duchess thought was their daughter.
The young girl, named 'Ella', is known to be headstrong and stubborn. She hates letting people assume she's weak, and always warns the maids to never say anything to anyone whenever she suffers from nightmares, gotten hurt or anything similar, thinking it's a big deal if people get to know that.
'She's completely different from young lady Ella.' Abigail thought, glancing at the close doors before looking at the knights. 'But it's not like it's a bad thing.'
Abigail sighed, "The young lady just had a nightmare and..."
"And what? Is she alright now?"
"Kids who suffer from nightmares often can't go back to sleep. Are you sure it's alright to leave her?"
"Just by the sound of her scream, it must've been a very terrifying nightmare. I'm good at comforting children, I can help."
The set of questions of the three knights made Abigail stunned. She didn't expect these three goons wearing heavy armors to show a bit of panic and extreme concern. To be honest, the discovery that young lady Ella brought upon chaos and split the household into an invisible faction of two.
One believes that young lady Ella shouldn't be discarded because her education and experience made her a better noble.
The other side believes that young lady Eleanor, no matter the education or experience, is better because she has the blood of Wrights flowing in her.
To see that the ones assigned to young lady Eleanor care, Abigail was relieved. Seems like she won't be alone in helping the young girl.
She sighed and explained softly, "The young lady said she feels sorry to bother us."
'What?!' the three thoughts in unison. It was the first time for them to hear a noble apologize to them.
The three knights raised an eyebrow and glanced at each other. They aren't that high-ranking knights but they are employed under the name of the Wright's family. They rarely encounter situations that feel like they're directly aiding their superiors.
