The next morning at 05:00 hrs, Belfast arrived at Shikikan's home. She parks her car and takes a bag full of food supplies out of her car trunk.

Shikikan: Good morning Belfast.

Belfast let out a yelp as she was caught off guard by Shikikan, she wasn't expecting him to be out so early in the morning.

Belfast: My lord!... *cough*

She clears her throat and adjusted her mob hat.

Belfast: Good morning commander.

Shikikan: Did my ugly face scare you?

Belfast: No, not at all my lord......

Shikikan: So I do have an ugly face.

Belfast: No! my lord that's not what I meant. I was not expecting you to be up so early.

Shikikan: I was just returning from a morning jog.

Shikikan takes the huge bag of supplies from Belfast's hand and they start walking towards the house.

Belfast: My lord there is no need for that......

Shikikan: Please let me help you. Anyway what are you doing here so early.

Belfast: As your maid I am bound to wake up before my master and prepare breakfast for them.

Shikikan: Well I must tell you Belfast I will be leaving for headquarters at sharp at 06:00 hrs, think you can prepare the Breakfast before that?

Belfast: But my lord isn't that too early?

Shikikan: Not for me Belfast, not for me.

Shikikan keeps the bag on the dinning table.

Shikikan: How long do you need for preparing the breakfast Belfast?

Belfast: Thirty minutes.

Shikikan: Great.

As Shikikan leaves, Belfast assemble all the items she would require to prepare an English breakfast. She heats milk, makes a half fried egg and beacon, fills a glass with juice made with fresh oranges. As she comes out of the kitchen for setting up the breakfast, she sees Shikikan waiting on the table fully dressed in his bright white uniform reading a book. Belfast sets up the breakfast on the table.

Belfast: My lord, your breakfast.

Shikikan: Thank you Belfast and what about you? I hope you've had yours.

Belfast: I intend to have my breakfast later.

Shikikan: As you wish Belfast.

Belfast returns to the kitchen for cleaning the utensils.

Shikikan: Belfast, can I ask you something?

Belfast: Sure my lord.

Shikikan: You are a warship right?

Belfast: Yes, my lord.

Shikikan: Then why are you a maid?

Belfast: Well I was born to serve the royal palace.

Shikikan: But is that what you wanted?

Belfast: Yes, my lord.

Shikikan: I don't get it, you were the royal head maid, why would you leave your position and volunteer to serve me?
