"My lady, I'm coming in." I heard Sally say before opening the door.

' isn't she a bit too forward and comfortable around me for a maid, I mean Estella is supposed to be her master right?'

Sally proceeded to pour the tea for me "by the way my lady, the Archduke has called a doctor for you"

"What!? Why? Didn't I say to just tell him I was just sleeping in because I was up late practicing!" I say almost screeching.

"I did say so to the Archduke, however it seems like my lady made the lie to obvious and the Archduke caught on" said Sally in a cold voice.

' what the... Why did her personality do a 180'

"What are you saying Sally I have a recital coming up next week" I state this as a fact.

When I was coming up with an exuse to tell the Archduke, the memory that there was an important Piano recital coming up was so prominent in my head. I'm sure there is an important piano recital very soon.

"The last recital my lady ever did was six months ago before you took your trip, my lady has not made any reservations or plans for a recital since" said Sally calmly

"Six months....." ' But the memory of that recital coming up is so prominent in my mind, when I was trying to come up with a believable good excuse, the thought that there was a very important Recital coming up was the only thing that came to mind '

' Wait a minute....' "Sally, did you already know that my exuse wouldn't be believed by the Archduke?" I ask skeptically

"A proper maid should always be aware of her lady's schedule at all times, what kind of maid would I be if I couldn't at least keep track of the events my lady is supposed to be at." She said, I could practically see the smirk in her tone.

"So you did this on purpose just so you  could get a doctor to look at me even though I told you I didn't want one"
' who knew a maid could be so sneaky.... 😥 '

" My our lady has quite the imagination, how could I dare to go against my lady's wishes, I mearly told the Archduke the exuse you told me to tell him" she said with a look on her face that said, *yes I specifically went behind your back and against your wishes but it's in your best inters my lady so just deal with it*

' God I feel manipulated '

I give up and quietly take a sip of my tea

"this tea is really good" I gave her a complement hopping it would calm her down, for some reason she seems mad at me. BUT I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!

"Of course my lady, after all I am simply one Hell of a maid" and seriously why did she give me that look when she said that.

This is giving me a weird sense of deja vu, not in a fun way.

' Did Estella sell her soul to a demon or something? Seriously girl, you already have so many death flags why are you adding more!!!' 

' is that why I have a whole year's worth of memories missing!!!'

' well if she really was just some demon I, I mean *Estella* contracted with then the sudden Chang in attetude might make sense, may be Estella asked that they act all cutesie and nice when others are around, and that Guard  was there when she was acting so differently'

"Ahhh~ forget it! I'm going to sleep" I said as I finished my tea and got up to go to bed.

"The doctor will be here soon my lady..."

"So? Just wake me up when he gets here"

"Is my lady not going to take the time to get reddy? Your makeup alone takes almost 2 hours to do properly" Sally states exasperated.

' That's right.... Estella might have accidentally shown her true face to her maids once or twice, but she was so terrified of how people would react to her natural face she would never be caught without it knowingly '

That's just messed up, besides the more I look at this face..... "hay Sally, isn't this face too pretty and unique to cover up?"

"My lady?" She said questioningly

"This hair and these eyes too.... Why should I hide them when they look so pretty?"

"The lady seems to have done alot if thinking during her trip..."

"Yes... Sally throw these away, I won't be having any use for them any more" I say handing her the wig and contacts

"are you sure my lady" she said giving me a blank stare

"Yes" I answer confidently. 'Weather or not this is a dream, currently I am the one in this body, I have no obligation to act like someone else'

Besides the more I look.... These features really are too pretty to cover up ' after I started my fashion brand, I asked Tia to help me come up with makeup looks that would match the company image to go along with our outfits for people with a similar condition to her so I already have a few makeup ideas t help enhance these features instead of hiding them '

"And the makeup? Will the lady be keeping it?" She said raising an eyebrow at me.

"I'll sort through it later, I won't be keeping all of it but it would be a waist to throw all of it out". I yawn while stretching my arms above me.

"Well I'm going to rest, wake me when the doctor gets here Kay?" I slipped under the covers and pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow ' this head is seriously too soft '  I think breefly before I completely block out the world.
