Mendacity || KTH

7.

We were walking through the hepta, it was quite classy, I saw alot of sculptures and drawings I was wondering what each drawing ment, cause each Gretchia had its own civilization and believes.

We took alot of turns and stairs till we arrived to a huge kitchen,it was full of countertops along with some gold on the ceiling and a crystaled chandelier hung from the center of the ceiling. There were about 5 women in there.

"Mrs.Lee",the Manstler yelled as an old looking woman came towards us, she was in her 40s I could tell, she was short and abit fat, she was wearing glasses and an apron, she looked so friendly.

"What is it Jimin?", she was drying her wet hands with the sides of her dress.

Wah! She didn't say sir? What's wrong?

"I brought you a gift", he stepped to the right to let her see me,"She's Taely",

I smiled shyly at her and bowed my head as he introduced me, I was looking at her expression cause the person's expression shows the real side of the person.

"Welcome honey,or shall I say hero",she smiled as I mirrored her smile, she reached my side and put a hand on my right hip and the other on my left hand and guided me through the kitchen,"welcome to your new house", then she looked back at the Manstler,"don't worry I'll teach her everything",

"I can't doubt your abilities",he smiled at her,"but she can cause some problems",

She turned and looked at me,"no she won't, we'll be good friends right?",

I nodded,giving her a small smile,then the manstler left the kitchen.

"Okay we need to prepare breakfast for the Gretch, let's start the course from there",

"And what is my job?", I asked ready for anything she could assign,

"We'll figure this out later when I see what you're good at",she gave me that assuring smile, I don't know why I felt satisfied as I was talking to her, she was like a mother talking to her kid, she was so sweet and smiled whenever she answered me.

We were entering the kitchen gaining some whispers from the maids. I ignored them cause I really didn't want any problems , then we went down stairs to a room full of beds.

"Where are we?", I said as she opened one of the drawers taking out a grey and white dress, the same dress as mine.

"Your new place",she smiled as she put the dress over me trying to see if it could fit .

"You sleep here?", it wasn't that pleasent compared to the hepta,

"You should be thankful that the Gretch is good enough to give us a room we could sleep in, now change, I'll be waiting for you in the kitchen", and with that she left I changed quickly and headed upstairs, actually there was a door in the kitchen that led to a stair which led to that room, or shall I say rooms cause there was many.

I spoted Mrs.Lee along with three maids along the counters cooking and the other two were cleaning the kitchen.

"What can I do?", the three women were startled by my voice.

"You can come and watch us", Mrs.Lee said as she moved abit making for me space to watch the whole work.

"Where are you from?", one of the maids suddenly asked.

I was about to reply but Mrs.Lee was quicker,"it is non of your business Hana",

The girl pouted,"I'm trying to make a friend Mrs.Lee come on",

"Can you focus on your work instead?",

I was suddened by Mrs. Lee , she was just kind two minutes ago what happened?

They started to gather the cooked food and Mrs.Lee taught me the name of each one,
"And this is his majesty's favourite dish rice", she sounded happy talking about him.

Rice? The Gretch's best dish is rice? What kind of Gretch he is? I honestly expected somethinglike chicken or steak.

"Rice?", I questioned looking abit shocked.

"Yes", she smiled,"our Gretch is so humble, he likes such dishes",

Then a women wearing a dress like us, but our apron was white, hers was black, and she was pregnant.

"Are you done with his majesty's food Mrs.Lee?", she sat down on one of the chairs catching her breath.

"Yes we're done", her smile faded when she saw the maid like that,"that kid isn't giving you peace right?",

The maid placed her hand on her swallowed belly and started circling her hand,"Yes, my baby looks naughty already", she smiled faintly as she noticed me,"oh hi, I didn't see you standing here I'm sorry",

"It's okay",

"Who are you by the way?",

"She's the one who saved the Gretch, the Manstler brought her in the morning", Mrs.Lee interrupted,what an honor to be defined as that, i kind of liked it.

"Welcome here hero", she winked at me then tryied to get up from the chair and hold the tray, she was suffering cause the tray was so heavy.

"I can hold it", everyone looked at me shocked from my sudden offer,

"You can't ,she's the Gretch's maid and she is the only one who could serve him his food", one of the maids spoke up,I think her name was Hana?

"But she can't hold the tray", I objected," she'll fall if she'd step holding the tray",

"But the Gretch w-",

"The Gretch isn't that arrogant to let a pregnant women suffer serving him", I cut Mrs.Lee,

"Okay",Mrs.Lee sighed,"You can go",

Mrs.Lee gave in and with that I held the tray and the Gretch's maid directed me, I heard that maid who asked me where am I from ,complaining but Mrs.Lee cut her this time too.

We took another turns and walked abit till we arrived to the dining room. I entered the room alone , it seemed like not so many people are allowed to enter here.

I entered the room, there was a huge table in the middle of the room along with chairs around it, the Gretch's back was seen from my perspective, and there were 3 guards standing beside the wall, they eyed me as I entered and watched each step I took, which made me abit nervous.

I walked towards the table and bowed as I placed the tray on it,

"Why are you here?", the Gretch stood up quickly causing the chair to fall down and gave me a glare that could pierce through my head causing a hole, I was speechless.
