The next day
After the her reunion with the voice in her head, Lilia had at so finally cal woken, Lilia looked outside, as the bright ht streaht could very well have all been a drea to feel crestfallen once again when-
—Mornin’, Lilia
At that voice’s carefree , Lilia felt relief from the bottom of her heart
“Good otten your name yet”
—Eh? Ahh, my name, huh… Well, you can just call me Sakura
“Sakura, is it? Alright Well then Sakura, for nohat should my next actions be?”
—That’s right It’s tis! Out to the halls! The ets!
Lilia’s eyes went round in astonishment, and an unpleasant frown quickly surfaced on her face Why she should have to give greetings to the lowly servants here, was the question that both of theh Lilia’s ht and said frankly
—Lilia The proble down on everyone else Do you understand that?
“Well that…there shouldn’t be a need to even flatter the maids is there!”
Even without a temperament like Lilia’s, most nobles would still have cold attitudes towards their servants To the servants of this country, just serving a master with an indifferent attitude towards the Lilia herself was certainly aware that she possessed a severe personality, but she had no intention of refor her attitude towards her servants
But Sakura only gave an exaggerated sigh
—Lilia What would you think if a good friend of yours mistreated their servants?
“That it must suck to have useless maids?”
—I was an idiot for asking you after all!
What should I do, Sakura lamented Lilia re for Sakura’s next words Before long, Sakura, with a sht”, said this
—I give up on trying to explain it to you! Hey, Lilia I want to help you
At the sudden change of topic, Lilia tilted her head
—Do you still not trust me?
“Honestly, I’m still not completely certain of my trust in you But for now I’ve already decided to follow your words”
—Then do as I said
“Muu…”
Lilia understood, and accepted the fact in her heart That Sakura had a clear reason behind her instructions, even if she couldn’t put it into words very well Since it couldn’t be helped, she wouldn’t force herself in thinking about it Lilia gave a small nod
She opened the door At that moment, what immediately came into vieas the face of a maid
“Ah…”
It was a girl around the sae as her Lilia widened her eyes, and spoke with a voice devoid of emotion
“Whataround outside someone’s room…?”
Though it wasn’t on purpose, her voice was cold and low Consequently, the ht as her eyes darted every which way, her ered by such an response Lilia prepared to speak out again
—Wah! Hold up, hooold up! Lilia, down! Sit!
As Sakura shouted frantically, the words about to come out of Lilia’s mouth turned into air and dispersed
—Hey, you know, Lilia With the way you are usually, you’d get angry at theto your suht? That’s why the maids, they probably always keep someone posted on stand by outside your room Especially since you’ve been in an abnor quite worried about you, yeah?
Lilia’s eyes widened in disbelief While she herself felt there was no fault with the attitude she took with them, she certainly shouldn’t be someone who the maids looked fondly upon Despite that, to think that they orried about her, it was so that would have never crossed her mind
—Of course, the sa to incur your anger, soly take their posts out here, but aenuinely worried for your well being you know You’ve gotta treasure these people more
That’s why, you should treat them nicely, okay?
Sakura’s tone was overfloith earnestness Taking in those words, Lilia sorted out these feelings swirling inside of her Returning her sight to theup at her with upturned eyes
“Umm… I am terribly sorry, mistress”
Said the y The maid kept her head lowered in that state
Perhaps she aiting for ht Lilia “How dare you raise your head without er before A naturally wrathful temperament, isn’t it
“Don’t ot a little worked up Sorry about that”
The moment those words came out of Lilia’s or Her eyes opened wide as she stared at Lilia At the unexpected reaction from the maid, Lilia involuntarily took a step back
“Mistress!”
