"Ah…." I took a sip of the tea sitting in front of me, hoping the princess wouldn't notice me. I put the tray down on the table before Natalia and bowed.

"Hehehe I saw that, it's alright this time Lyla. Come have tea with me, I can't stand always being alone!" I joined princess Natalia and we got to talk. I had only been in Baticul or Kimlasca for long, so getting a job as being a maid was my only option. I didn't like it one bit but I was COMPLETELY alone I had to fend for myself, and thanks to this job I could stay at the castle as well. But it wasn't that bad after I made friends with the woman I was supposed serve. Princess Natalia was in charge of public works she did so much for the people of her country I couldn't single her out as just another arrogant noble. Though sometimes she was a bit…er…demanding she was truly a great girl. I remember all the times she would let me sit out from work so I could keep her company, I was grateful for that. She also complained allot about her fiancé Luke and I didn't blame her bit, in fact I wondered why she still had hope in the boy he was quite rude though he had a soft side as well. Another we always talked about were my dreams of becoming a doctor.

"I'm a trained healer and back home—I mean, well...um...my father is a doctor and he's taught me many things but to be a official doctor I still need to school which means I need this money."

"Hmm being a doctor is truly a great job, saving lives, curing an illness that is what a true hero would do. Well what had your father taught you at this point?" She asked me as we sipped tea out in the garden.

"More things to do with the mind rather than taking care of the ill. Trauma, fears the counselling kind of thing!" I saw a smirk play upon the princess's face as I said the word fear.

"I don't believe that a maid's salary is enough for medical school…" She said very mischievously.

"Well yeah but I have to try hard!" I smiled and decided it'd be time to go back to work.

"Could I interest you in a bonus?" She asked as soon as I got back on my feet. "A 300,000 gald bonus that is!" I gasped and almost tripped over the chair.

"W-what…?"

"Oh come, it's not as much as you are making it sound in fact it's the least I can do for a friend. But of course there is a condition…"

"Well it couldn't hurt to hear it…." I said, asking for the details.

"There's a servant that works with Luke, when we get married he'll be my servant as well however…"

"However…?"

"He's afraid of women! He can speak to me and he bears no hatred but he can't even come close to me!"

"You want me to …cure him?"

"Yes, please if you can of course it sounds like it may be tough."

"No way it sounds like a perfect way to perfect my skills!"

"Also I want your help to improve my skills as a healer! My birthday score said there would be a great journey coming my way; I feel that improving me would be a good idea."

"Hmm…maybe I could just be your personal assistant, bodyguard and doctor!"

"That's what its staring to sound like, ha-ha" She giggled. I could feel like after this we became more than just servant and master. And so I went to the manor and decided to take a good look at this victim of gynophobia.
