Chapter 13: Picking My Servants
"Miss, wake up." Sella said while shaking Luciana gently.
"Few...more minutes." Luciana replied groggily.
"Miss, you will be picking your servants today."
"I am?" Luciana sit on the bed and stretch her body.
"Yes Miss." Sella said.
"I feel lazy doing it." Luciana said, slumping in the bed again.
"Don't worry miss, I already know that your lazy-"
"I am what?" Luciana ask angrily. 'Nobody but myself can call me lazy. Although I agree with her that I am lazy but nahh.'
"I mean, Miss is bored doing those things." She said.
'Sella is right though' Luciana thought.
"You know what, I am really lazy. Whatever." Luciana said, standing up from the bed.
"Miss, I already pick some of the best servants and you just have to check if you like it. "Sella explains.
"Sella you are awesome." Luciana compliments Sella.
"It's nothing Miss."
Luciana wears a white and blue dress. Sella then fix her hair in a braide. Luciana is wearing her key bracelet and she wears a diamond earrings. After readying herself she go straight to their halls. There she see servants lining up. She look at Sella while pointing at the servants, asking in her eyes if those are the servants Sella picked. Sella nod her head as an answer.
"How many will I pick?" Luciana ask Sella.
"4 miss. By the time you grow older,you'll have more servants." Sella explains patiently.
"Ok. Mom, Dad. Goodmorning." Luciana greet her parents when she see them. Her eyes tails to a little boy. "Goodmorning to you to Brother Xavier."
"Goodmorning sweetie." Her mother acknowledge her greeting, hugging her while she also hugs back.
"Goodmorning, I see you are picking your servants." Duke Harvort said.
"Yes I am."
"Goodmorning too, sister." Xavier said, avoiding eye contact.
"You guys can go and I'll follow you to the dining."Luciana said while observing the servants.
Luciana's P.O.V
To be honest, I don't remember what Harly looks like and I don't want to pick her. Harly is that righteous maid, she is the one who reported to Xavier about Luciana bullying Lily. I don't like a person like that. Traitor! What if I did something that needs to be keep secret and she also reported it? I can't trust a person like that!
"Sella, do you have a list of their names?" I ask Sella.
"Yes, Miss." Sella said. "Get the list of their names." She commanded to a random maid. The maid then hurriedly left.
After awhile the maid come back with a paper in her hand. She give it to Sella and Sella give it to me. I take it and read it. Yes I just read it! I forgot that I am suppose to act like an idiot 6 years old who never sees the world.
"Who is Annie?" I ask them. Annie is one of the loyal maids that Luciana have. A girl raise her hand and step forward. I study her, she looks okay. Her eyes are look smart. She looks like someone who can keep her mouth shut. "Okay. I pick you." I said after looking at her.
I stroll while I look at them. I stop in front of a girl, she looks confident and sneaky. Just by looking at her, I know that she is not just anyone. I can feel like she is like Rose and Ryan, they have the same breath rhymes. "You are?" I ask her.
"My name is Marie M'lady." She answer me.
"Ok. Go to Sella." I said.
I continue to look and I spot someone who looks so arrogant, she has this aura of righteousness. I feel like she is Harly, but I can't take things too carelessly. I approach her and ask her gently, "what is your name?"
"I am Harly M'lady." She answer confidently but for me, she looks arrogant. So she really is Harly, time for my-Luciana's revenge.
Firstly, to really humiliate her. I have to get her hope's high so she can fall from a so high tower. "You look so kind." I firstly said.
'Oh no, something is wrong with my lady.' Sella thought in her mind.
"Thank you for the compliment." She said, looking kind of proud.
"Give me a reason why should I pick you?" I said. Let's see her complimenting herself.
"I am a kind person. I stand in righteousness and I hate killing people. I will always do everything that is good."She said.
"You hate killing people?" I ask her again.
"Yes, because that is bad."
"What if I accidentally killed a person? What will you do? Will you help me hide the corpse or just run away giving me to the police?" I ask her. Every one widen their eyes from shock that I actually ask a question like that. I don't care, widen your eyes as round as a saucer and I will still not care.
'Let's see how she will answer this time. '
"I will...."she stops and hesitates. "I will do the right thing." She said. I walk away from her, what a boring answer. I didn't say anything to her.
"Sister, just because she will betray you, you will not pick her?" Ohhhh, here comes the heroine. I didn't know she is watching, I don't care.
"Nah, her answer is boring."I replied calmly. The servants then starts to whisper to each other but my ears can hear them.
"She is cruel."
"Just because her answer is boring she will not pick her?"
"I think she is hard to please and take care. I don't want to be her maid."
I point towards a girl. The girl looks really cheerful but she is not saying anything. I can also feel the same rhymes of Rose and Ryan's breath in her. They are the same. Although, I don't know how can I feel it, I just focus and I can.
Someone raise her hand. Wow, brave. I like her, sadly I already choose. I can still pick her when I grow up.
"Yes?" I ask her.
"Why didn't you pick Harly? She is a kind person."She said timidly but her voice is filled with determination. Everyone stops talking and look at her like she has grown a 3rd eye.
"What is your name?" I ask, kind of interested.
"My, my name is Dessy." She said.
" I didn't pick her because I don't want to. She also looks like someone who is a fool dog. Ooops, my bad. I mean she looks naive." I said. She looks stupid.
"By the way, Dessy right?"I ask her and she nods. "I like you, you better be loyal."I said.
"Yes I will."She nods her head again. A smart person. She can understand what I'm saying, I don't really like talking when I don't want to. I smile at her and walk towards the dining room.
