Lilith stared at the girl's slightly swollen cheek as she dabbed at it with a wet cloth.

She didn't really know what she was doing, but as she saw the swollen cheek, she started working unknowingly and soon was dabbing the sniffling girls' cheek.

The girl sniffled with her heag hung so her tears were falling on her clenched fist.

"Thank you for the help Lilith, but.....I'm........ I'm scared."
She shivered unconsciously.

"Scared?...."
Lilith didn't understand.
"....what is scared?!."

The girl stopped crying for a moment, and just stared at Lilith.

What is wrong with her today?..
She thought.

Lilith seemed to see her closely now and began to lean in closer.
The girl's eyes began to dilate and she could hear her heart pounding and threaten to burst through her chest.

Was Lilith always this pretty?....
She unconscious clutched her heart and turned her head away, then she remembered...

"Lilith?, did you just ask me what scared is?.."
She furrowed her brows.
What kind of question was that?.

"Uhmmm yes?, Why?."
Lilith asked.

"How do you not know?......"
She raised up a brow suspiciously.
"You have been acting quite unusual today."
The girl stood up in caution.
"Are you really Lilith?!."

"Am - I - really - Lilith?..... I don't know."

"What?,"
The girl's voice turned softer.

"I don't remember anything.."
Lilith dropped her dabbing hand.

".....anything?."

"No, nothing..."

"Even....even...me and your family?."
The girl was stunned.
How could this be?.

Lilith shook her head.
".....not even my name.. I only took up my name from what I heard from Mrs Benith and you today. "

".......well that's.......very unexpected. That's why you been acting so strange today isn't it?."

"I....I don't even know what I feel.
It's like different things trying to come up to me, I don't know what to do."

Lilith crouched down to the floor as she felt another peculiar feeling, like her whole body was cold and her heart tugging at various points, somehow making her eyes itchy.

"....well," the girl began.
" I'm Vivian florigde and you are..."

"Lilith vnighertuor, the second daughter of this place. I....noticed. "

Lilith stood up as the red feeling came back.
Some how, she was able to differ them by the unexpected and unseen colors she saw with them. 

"Why do they treat me differently from the other Highers in the place?...."

Vivian scratched her head awkwardly as she tried to answer as best and less hurtful as she could.
"That....why don't you sit for a this, hmm?, it would take quite sometime."

"Okay. "
Lilith plopped her butt onto the floor.
"Now, please tell me....Vivian."

"Ah?.....Ahhh, yes!.
You-You see, we live in a kingdom, called Rismeira. A kingdom is a compression of various states and towns, villages and cities, as well as landscapes and other occupying masses of the world.
Rismeira is a big kingdom, allied with so many, numerous to count. The ruling body is majorly the King, but his arms and tiers are divided into quite a lot. Arch dukedoms, Dukedoms, Marquettes, countys, viscountys, and then Baron houses. All in accordance to their level of power, with the Arch Dukedom, the top tier of them all.
We have, two Arch Dukedom, three Dukedoms in each, eight Marquettes in each Dukedom, four countys in each Marquette, three viscounts in each county, and twelve Baron houses in each Viscounty. This however, is a Dukedom, your father is the Duke and the Duchess is your half mother. Your father had fruited your mother under uncivilized circumstances and you were born. You were introduced, into the Duchy when she got very sick and you were twelve.
She died of lungs blowout and the Duke took you in as according to custom.
The Duchess has three children.
A girl, Miss Marietta and twin boys, Misters' Vandal and Vander. The Duchess in pretty nice and doesn't really accept you working, but Miss Marietta, forced you to become her lady in waiting, and soon, her personal maid, living in the maid quarters, under the guise of the Duke orders. And no one would dare go against his orders. He's far too cruel, even more than Miss. "

All the while Lilith had been quiet and was pondering.
"So there a chance, he doesn't know about this and she lied right?."
Lilith held her chin and thought hard.
She needed to turn her life around for the while and figure out things.

She stood up with clenched fists and was very sure of her actions.
"Vivian?."
She called.

"Yes?." Vivian looked up to meet Lilith's face.

"Stay here, I'm going to confront the Duke.
Also, could you help me with a book that explains all these....feelings?"

"What?!"

But Lilith was already gone.
With a damned thought in mind.
She didn't want this horrible life, one more minute.
