The Royale Maid

#

we're soo twinning rn like i also wanna see the downfall of this shi rn and while at it- manifesting that it is fucking burning at a nearby dumpster fire.

"Miko...Miko. Come on please wake up". 

"Sheon?...", I groaned, he finally looked back at me, "You're finally awake!".

 As I finally opened my eyes, and the blur goes away, I realized I was on a bed. Sheon's bed. 

"What happened?", I asked. But Sheon gave me a confused look. "Last night", I finished my sentence. That made his mind clicked. 

"Oh, last night...Well....", he trailed off. "You...uh", "Uh-what? Just tell me Sheon", I said annoyed. 

"You...fainted'', he calmly said. Fainted! 

"Ooh, well, thank...you for helping...me", I stuttered for no reason. 

Maybe because my dorm helped me when I was unconscious and led me to his bed, kinda awkward. (edit: i'll prolly do a bunch of these but i have no idea of the thought process from lil me that included this sooo ur pretty much as lost as i am lmaooo)

  He nodded. "Well, I got to go to my shifts now", he said. I looked at the clock across the room, 2 pm! 

He left took his whole morning just to help me!

As I finally looked away at the clock, I saw Sheon by the door. He looked as if he was trying to tell me for a long time. 

"Hey Miko, I just wanted to say, good luck on the new outside world''. 

It took me time to adjust, but as I looked at him again, he was giving me a shy, sad smile. I nodded, "Thank you", I finally said fluently. But instead of words, he gave me a tilted nod and the hazy darkness glittered his hazel brown eyes. He gently closed the door behind him. 

I finally came back to my senses. Oh Jeez, now I have to get changed. For the rest of two hours, I forcely cleaned my side of the room, even though it's already clean. For some reason, I didn't want to go to the window anymore. It is because of what happened yesterday? No, It can't be- 

"Maids, It's the time! Get your coats or whatever you need to get warm! I'm not responsible if you lose your fancy scarfs or so. That problem is dealt with by the HEADMASTER. Now, GET DOWN HERE IN THE NEXT TWO MINUTES!!! And I'll explain the rest of the shift!", yelled Mrs. Clous giving a Big speech.

I look at my rusty bag if I had at the warm stuff I need for my first outside adventure. As I finally left the room, I saw maids scurrying down their dorms and going to where whatever Mrs. Clous is. Maybe, the all excitement of finally being free, I ran down the stairs just like all the other maids and scurrying to where Miss. Clous is. 

As I finally found Mrs. Clous with her old wrinkled face staring at on old book, when she looked at me she was shocked. Shocked, how is she shocked?! I never have seen her shock, well at least me. But when I looked around, I saw nobody, except me and Mrs. Clous in the suffocating basement. Oh, that makes sense, in some way. I looked at her again, and this time she was staring at me shocked, again. Should I be scared now? But I traced her old wrinkly finger pointing at the front door. 

"Wow", She whispered. Then she gave me a smile, but a different, an comfortable smile. "Congrats, Miko dear, I'm impressed by your agility, surprisingly,", Mrs. Clous said like I've done something amazing. 

"Good, now be a dear, and get out", Mrs. Clous chirped. 

I can't believe it. She's finally letting me out! Just like that! The new world is called Royale SnowHill. I'm close to the knob waiting to be unturned- 

"Stop", I turned around and saw Mrs. Clous giving me a humorous look. "I need to give the details remember?", Mrs. Clous laughing. 

Am I her favorite student now?

 And if so, that's not gonna happened. But I finally, knew what she meant, I have to be patient for those slow maids. Yay, my least favorite thing in life.

But luckily, those slow maids manage to get here as fast. As we all grouped up waiting for what Mrs. Clous is to explain. Or maybe it's a big threat not to go too far. 

"Ahem, maids, I came here to tell you today the day". She cleared her throat. " The reason, for today, a normal decent day is that day. Because you are old enough to explore at your own". 

For talking to 17-18 years old, yeah that's sure 'old enough'. 

Mrs. Clous gave one last breath, "Your, quest is to hunt the Morron berries, from the front yard as I said before. But your new berry baskets are worth 30-40 berries, so I suggest pick that enough of berries. Oh, and you'll get your baskets before you get going", she. smiled.

Not even a minute she turns into an aggressive look. I knew it. 

"If...if you ever go far beneath your limit, mistaken or purpose, it's going to leave you a big punishment. The Headmaster and I, not hesitated to tell him!". That made me and the rest of the maids shiver. I looked at the rest of the maids to see how they react as well as I do. I looked and saw another maid, Anne, looking like she's about to faint. 

After a moment Mrs. Clous slowly spoked. "Do you understand?". 

Like all the maids they rapidly nodded, dared not to say yes. But for me, I was kinda shocked, but another feeling entered inside me. What is it though? 

"Now, Maids please go to get your baskets", Mrs. Clous asked sweetly. Of course, she wanted us to forget why she just said, but deep down, she'll always remember. 

 'Please' Oh please no.

I followed the other maids picking a basket from the countered. When I picked mine, the basket was strong but burned for some reason. And for the next step, the one I was waiting my whole life, out the castle doors. 

Before putting the last step off to the big wide world, I saw the nearest clock, 5 pm. 

Wow, time does fly fast.

 And then, Mrs. Clous, somehow again smiling me as her new favorite student. But I can feel it, it's different. It's not like it's the last time I'm going to see her again. But still, I smiled back at her in case I noticed, and she does. As I walked into the territory world as called Royale SnowHill.
