Becoming The Villainess

4..

As Lilith trotted down the stairs from which she came, she heard running from downstairs.

Getting closer to the floor, all other maids and workers were moving here and there, to and fro, from the kitchen, visit rooms, guest rooms.
Like they were preparing for a spontaneous visit. 

Is this about the visitor, pillar girl was talking about?.

She turned around and bumped into the pillar girl.
The girl held a high stack of plates that wobbled every step she took.

"I'm sorry, please excuse-Lilith?."

The girl finally stared sideways from the high plates in her hands and stared quizzically at Lilith.

"...."

"Lilith what are you doing here?. Aren't you ought to be with Miss Marietta now?, help her get ready?
She'll be really cross if she finds you slacking off you know."

The girl stumbled as she walked and the plates swerved right, almost about to fall before Lilith caught the upper stack.

"Ahh thank you so much Lilith, That would have validated me some strokes for sure....if not worse."

Lilith nodded.

"So.....you have to get going Lilith, You don't want to be punished when you're not very well."

"No, I'm not going back there."
Lilith said with a frown growing on her face.

A sudden unpleasant feeling was climbing up her body and it didn't feel good at all.
She felt this strange feeling expand as she thought about the possibility of going back to that room.
That Miss was surely not very good with people and Lilith didn't like it at all

Lilith stopped walking, causing the girl behind her to bump into her back.

"No?...Lilith, I know it's exhausting to work with her, but it's better than death right?.
Even if you're her sister, she really is that sinister. "

Lilith felt puzzled?....
She didn't understand anything this girl was saying.
This Lilith was the sister of the Miss Marietta?.

Was that how relationship worked?
or
is it all just a relapse of what she felt was the right way to be together as one?.

Lilith didn't really know what a relationship was anyway.
Had she had any before?.
But still, it should be better than this kind right?....

Suddenly, Lilith arms seemed free and she looked down at her arms to see the stack of plates gone.
All around her, the servants were aligned in straight rows on each side of the room.

"Lilith!."

She turned towards where she'd heard her name come from and saw the pillar girl in the row at the right side, with an empty space beside her.

The girl waved her over, and Lilith slowly walked towards the line, just in time before, Miss Marietta, came out to the room atop the stairs and faced the huge doors.

As the door open wide, from the light came a male figure, walking softly and carefully, towards the stairs.
He was very eye catching and captured Lilith's interest in an instant

Miss Marietta's lips curled up and she slid down the stairs with her sudden reddened cheeks.
Lilith felt a bubbly feeling In her chest.
Her mouth, formerly pursed closed, opened wide and a soft loud sound came out.

She didn't know why she did it, or even how it happened, she just knew that this feeling was still rolling and the sound coming out of her mouth was becoming louder and more uncouth, as she struggled to close it up.

Miss Marietta, who'd finally reached the end of the stairs and was about to put her white slender fingers in the young man's for a courtesy, was suddenly distracted by an unrefined laughter that was filling the silent room.

Lilith!...
