8.

I took a step backward at his growling, he was like a wild animal finding his prey.

"I'm sorry your majesty", I gathered my confidence again I'm not coward I can speak myself out,"your maid couldn't hold the tray cause it was too heavy for her", I was satisfied by these words as an explanation,

He let out a sigh, I assumed that he remembered that she was pregnant.
"And where's the other maids? Mrs.Lee?",

"I was the one who volunteered to hold the tray your majesty, and I did that after I took Mrs.Lee's approval",

He nodded taking back his chair that was already on the ground and sat down,"you can leave",

I bowed and left the room, I filled his maid with what happened along with Mrs.Lee and the other maids.

"I think I should talk to him",Mrs. Lee,

10 minutes later I went back to the dining room with Mrs.Lee, she entered the room before me it seemed like the Gretch was still inside ,after a while she stood out of the room,"you can get in and pick up the dishes",

I entered the room,bowed at the Gretch and started picking up the dishes,"I still don't believe you",

I was about to speak when he suddenly stood up and placed his hands on the table,"I'll watch you, if you'd do anything wrong, I'll execute you,I don't care if you really have saved me,but if I figure out that you're lying I'll excute you too, don't try me",

I gupled at his words, he sounded very serious, I mean he's the Gretch, ofcourse he won't be messing around.

I went back to the kitchen when Mrs.Lee spotted me,"he threatened you didn't he?",

I nodded,

"Don't think about it, he's just overprotective about his Gretchia, so he could sound abit scary, but deep down, he's very kind hearted,Taehyung has been like this since the death of the Gretch",she placed a hand on my shoulder,

"May I ask a question?",

"Go ahead",

"Why do you call him along with the Manstler by their first name?",

She pinched my cheek,"When his mom died, I was the one who raised him and took care of him, he's like my son, and he doesn't allow me to call him your Majesty or Gretch, and Jimin too, they were bestfriends and I took care of both of them, even though Jimin's mom is still alive", she took her hand away from my back,"Okay, we've got a work to do, you should start the real learning cause you'll be his maid soon",

My eyes widened in shock ,"Me?",

"Yes you",

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

"No , No you should place it over the pillow folding the excess over it",the Gretch's maid instructed who's name was Soomi.

"Like this?", I stepped away from the bed to show her my work.

"Perfect! You're a fast learner girl",

"You're too patient Soomi", I replied with a smile, I have been in the castle for the last week, I still don't know the hepta's rooms well, but I can go to the Gretch's office, bedroom, dining room,kitchen and yards bymyself technically cause these were the only places I could go to.

And in this whole week, I haven't seen the Gretch, I would put the food in the dining room before he comes, and take them back after he leaves,he has been busy with his work, he's either in a meeting with the kellans council or with the ministers council, especially that he doesn't have a crown to give him a hand, he's in charge of everything. Neither I have seen the Manstler.(you can see the rules)

"Okay now you should wipe the floor, even though the floor won't be that dirty, you should wipe it everyday, understood?", she sat on the chair having some rest after all the teaching thing,

"Yes, you don't have to tell me about it every time ", I tried to relax her,

"And that closet", she pointed at a small closet that was placed in the corner , it was about the height of my hips with two shutters ,

"Never touch it,come near it or even glance at it", we both said this statement, she has been repeating it non stoppingly.

"I promise I won't, for the hundredth time",

"I just like to keep re-ouch !", she shouted with all her strength which caused me to flinch,

"The baby again?",

She teared up,"I should get out of here, I dont feel good, keep on your work Taely",

I was left alone in the Gretch's room, it had a huge bed, with silk sheets, sliding over it to the ground, doubt that it is only for two people, actually 5 people can sleep there! I'm not kidding. On the both sides of the bed were the empty side tables , his closet? It was huge, it was extended from a corner to the other, he had inside bathroom. Beside the closet, was that window that the man flew from.

I finished my last touches and made sure everything looked perfect , I just had my second chance and I can't blow it away. I held the door knob and it was opened, but I wasnt the one who opened it, there stood the Gretch he was shocked by me. I decided to clear the misunderstanding.

"I was just cle-",

"I know ", he cut me with his calm deep voice as he walked past me entering the room,

"If you excuse me", I bowed as he was giving me his back,

"Wait", he stopped me, I turned back he was still giving me his back,

"Yes your majesty?",I asked politely,

"Yes, what a question?", he chuckled,"don't you know your duties?",his smile turned into a frown

I was lost, I did everything Soomi asked me to do, sweeping, moping, cleaning... "I'm sorry your majesty, but I did everything I was taught to do.",

"It doesn't seem so", he forrowed his eyebrows,I was looking at the ground the whole time, he sighed ,"my clothes you should take them for cleaning",

Oh yes! Even though I did mostly everything infront of Soomi, this was the only thing she won't let me do,take his laundry  , and then clean them, maybe because she didn't want me to ruin them instead of cleaning them? Okay, it might make sense.

I came near him as he was taking off his cloak, he handed it to me I directly folded it and placed it on the bed, then he started to loosen his tailcoat then his standing collar .

Well this is not going be good!
