Peasant (Zane X Reader) - {COMPLETED}

Chapter 3

Your P.O.V

When I got to my room, it was still a wreck, and the maid had dropped off the puppy, who was happily gnawing on the broken chair leg.

I sighed and sat down on the floor as he came up to me.

I smiled before staring at my arms and untying them.

It was a horrid sight.

There were pieces of cloth stuck to the bloody scratches which were scabbed over and some were also turning green.

This isn't good.

"Get up!" Mistress Hollins yelled from outside.

I shot up, my glasses sliding down my face a little bit.

The dog shot up as well and was immediately on alert. I pet his little head and heard a grumble.

It came from my stomach. I hadn't eaten in two days. I was dying to say the least.

With a sigh and a pair of shaky legs, I walked out into the hallway before making my way to the meeting hall.

When I got there, Miss. Hollins had a worried look on her face.

"Okay ladies! I have some important news today. The system has... changed." She yelled to the group of woman, who all gasped and whispered among themselves.

"Right. The royal family and the head mistresses, including myself, have come upon the agreement that the current system is a little... well, crowded. With so many maids doing so many different things, the halls are often crowded, certain areas blocked off for seemingly no reason, and other inconveniences for the royal family. So we came upon a solution. Each family member will have three maids and butlers assigned to them, and these servants are sworn to serve them and only them. Now, the decision is mostly up to the royal family on who serves who, and with the proper steps and decisions, we made up our minds." She paused and looked at all the faces, each looking hopeful. "We have made our decisions, and have assigned twelve maids to the royal family." She finished, and the maids started to giggle and daydream about the handsome sons.

I grew an irk mark and looked back up.

"Now, since some of our ladies have a little problem with jealousy, we have decided to alert the woman of choosing by letters, so unfortunately I cannot announce the decisions." She said, and almost 84% of the girls pouted, and one even stomped her foot.

I curled my lips into my mouth to suppress my laugh, and Mistress Hollins glared at the selfish woman.

I fixed my glasses as she announced chores, but to my surprise, my name wasn't called.

There's no way...

I shook it off and walked back to my room. Maids got free days sometimes when they weren't needed, so that had to be it.

But then again, a bunch of other maid's hadn't been called.

I shook my head and continued to walk down the hall to my room.

When I opened it and stepped inside, my foot made contact with something that made a crinkling sound.

I looked down and lifted my toes before turning my foot with my heel.
