In a vast meadow full of Charm Blossoms fluttering through the evening breeze, enveloping a sweet scent throughout the field.

Eyes that caught a figure that can be seen from afar, gets closer as the moon shone bright like the shining sun.

An arm stretched forward, gently pulling the bewildered maiden into its tender arms from behind.

   "You won't forget me, wont you?" the younger maiden exclaimed with fright in her voice.

   "Of course I won't." the older male sadly smiled.

   "It's a promise?" holding her hand to a pinky swear while slowly turning to face him.

   "I promise." swearing intently to the other.

   "Till we meet again… Luna." Letting the young maiden go but as the figure vanished through the deep meadow, her name echoed through her ears.

"…NA! LUNA!!!" I immediately jump off my bed.

"Oh my…" while panicking on what to do.

"LUNA! Where's my breakfast? Come here this instant!" A voice exclaimed. "Coming, My Lady!" runs toward the kitchen.

Oh yeah, I haven't introduced myself yet haven't I? I'm Luna, and as you can see, I'm currently making breakfast for My Lady. Actually, she's my aunt. She's been the boss in the house ever since my Mother and Father died… I'm currently living with her and her two daughters. Yeah... I know it's hard but there's nothing else I can do? Or do I?

"Uhh… I have to be fast, or else…" I scowled at that thought while running all over the place.

"LUNA! Help me find my earrings!" another voice exclaimed from the other side of the house. Uhh… here comes the other one… "I'm coming, My Lady!"

I'm saying that while running towards the room of my Aunt Axinite for her breakfast in bed. I just hope the othe…

"LUNA! Come here for a moment!" and there it is… sigh. "I'll be right there My Lady!" while opening the door towards my Aunt Axinite's room.

"Good Morning My Lady, here's your breakfast." bowing towards her. "Hn…" was all she said while looking at me. I laid the tray of food beside her then immediately moved towards the door still bowing forward but before I was able to turn the knob…

"Overslept again huh?" I stopped. "You can just tell me if you want to get out of this mansion." she chuckled. "I can kick you out whenever I want you know?" she added. I got out of the room clenching my fists.

Someday, I'll be the one to do that to you. I mentally cursed while running towards the other side of the house to help look for my cousins' earrings.

"Luna, what took you so long?" she complained. "I want to wear those pair of earrings today, find it. NOW!" my cousin Diaspore impatiently demanded. I sighed then tried to look for it under the bed sheets.

"Diaspore, here it is." showing off the pair of earrings she was looking for. She beamed but then it turned into a glare. "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me Diaspore but My Lady?" she angrily corrected. "M-Y L-A-D-Y. Got it?" she repeated.

"Oh, I'm so sorry about that Dia-I mean My Lady." I apologized.

"Well then, now will you excuse me My Lady, your sister is calling for me." I ran outside and towards my cousin Boehmite.

"What is it you want me to do My Lady?" I wondered but still panting from all that running.

Why am I starting to think that this mansion is getting bigger and wider? I let out another sigh.

"Get your dog to stop barking towards my cat." She pointed towards her cat and seemed to be annoyed. "Huh?" I looked at my dog. "Melanie, stop that." I calmly ordered her. She stopped and backed off a little.

"Good. Now Luna, I think you might want to go back to work. Mother isn't happy about you oversleeping again." Boehmite straightly explained. "Y-Yes, My Lady." bows respectively while trying to hide a smile.

At least there's someone in the family that's not grumpy all the time…

I immediately go back to doing my daily chores but… while I was cleaning and making sure the floor is spotless, I heard a knock from the door… I fixed my clothes a little to look a bit presentable.

Well that's odd. Who could it be? My Lady said there are no expected visitors today.

I slowly opened the door and look whos out there… "Um, may I ask who might you be?" a question to the unknown person that's currently in front of me.

"I sorry for the sudden intrusion. I'm…"

Stay tuned for the next chapter… ~♥
