The empress is mine

Odessa- new world pt.2

"Wait what do you mean for now?!" I screamed.

Why must people be so transparent when talking? Just say what you mean don't make it a damn guessing game or mystery!

I'm bad at being a detective!

"You will see Odessa. Be patient." I heard him say as I felt like I was passing out.

I opened my mouth to say: Like hell I will. Just tell me, please.

But suddenly I couldn't talk anymore. Mystery guy, answer me!

I was suddenly pulled back and felt very cold.

"Ahh!" I screamed as I woke up.

I was soaked all over. Did someone just spill water on me?

Mystery guy sent me back, I realized when I looked around. And the miss from before was screaming at the top of her lungs.

As well as carrying a pot.

"Wake up now Odessa! Our lord is coming and I shan't be whipped for your insolence! You have a lot of bravo to go back on your cot and sleep again!" She screamed at me.

Why is she speaking like that?

"Odessa! you shall be brought outside to stroll with our lord! Tidy up, child!" She said waving her hands and arms all over the place.

'Better get up' I thought to myself. Regardless if I know where I am or not I will probably be the first one whipped, whatever that means, if I don't.

"If you even call that a cot. Our lord is most certainly no lord if he allows his maids to sleep on it..." someone else whispered from behind me.

I craned my neck to try and see who it was yet everyone just kept their eyes on me and lips closed, so it was hard to see who said it.

"I shall have you whipped Miya for speaking so boldly about our lord." The Miss said.

I had suddenly felt like someone was behind me.

"Don't mind miss Delilah"

Oh the girl that spoke before.

is she speaking to me?

"She always says that yet no whips ever touch any of us. She is a good head maid."

I guess she is talking to me. Wait a second.. Head maid?

And suddenly I can understand their old English.

Delilah is really short  for a head maid but I guess her strictness and age has a lot to do with her being a head maid. 

She also has a lot of gray hair. My guess on her age would be like fifty-four. And she even has gray eyes. Is that even possible?

I squinted at her trying to actually see if that's her real eye color.

Snort. "Why lie to her ma'am? Just tell her she's getting sold! Going on a walk with the lord? Don't make me laugh! Hahaha"

This maid has light brown hair.

What the fuck. Did I really travel to the past or something? Gossiping, sneering, and belittling of others is the new fun in times like these and if I'm wrong then why the hell did they say maids and lord?

"I guess you are one of the new maids. And have not learned her place-"

"oh" she covered her lips feigning innocence. "But think about it ma'am even his mistresses hope for him to go on a stroll with them why is he going with a lowly servant? She's not even-!"
