Prologue:
The gust of the early winter gently pressed over my delicate skin as I squat at the corner of the street full of unknown people. I glanced at every person's expression as they passed by and most of them have smile on their faces but I, myself is sobbing for I am certainly born as a poor girl with not enough food to eat, no coins to touch and keep, and no pink fluffy howalons that I dreamed to eat and melt sweetly in my mouth.
I moved my head downward and covered my face using my filthy hands cause it will be a shame to cry in front of this large crowd. Tears fall from my smooth but dirty face as I noticed that a man came to a halt just right in front of me as tears fall to his expensive leather shoes. He bent to have a good look at me but I wouldn't dare to look at him back cause I surely know that he is one of those rich people whom I envy the most. But without any hesitation, he cupped my neck with his nearly wrinkled hand and moved my head upward to face him directly. My hazel eyes can clearly see his face that made me think that he is a man between fifty to sixty years of age. He is wearing a black business suit that is perfectly washed and ironed, his hair a bit grayish but neatly combed. He puts his one hand on the side pocket of his pants and together with his hand came out a handkerchief which sides are made of fine silk and embroided on it was the initials N and H which made me think that this could be the start of his name like Nagami Haruki. Using the handkerchief, he slowly wiped the dirt and tears from my face revealing on how I really look like when my face is neatly cleaned. He was staring at me deeply, giving me a feeling that he is carefully studying my face, but after that he pleasantly commented me with a smile.
"You have such a beautiful face my darling! No one like you deserves to live a cruel life." His comment made me blush and gave me a sparkle of hope.
"Thank you master!" I stood up from my squatting position and bowed gracefully.
"The world is not always cruel you know." He replied back, handing me a shiny coin, which can buy me enough howalons for months and wrapped it using the handkerchief a while ago. This coin was my first and I decided to keep it together with the handkerchief cause I believe that this is my good luck charm.
"I am truly indebted to you sire! Is there anyway I can pay you back?" I replied with a smile on my face.
"Well, actually you can, with that lovely face and attitude I am sure that master would love you!" He puts both his hands on top of my shoulder.
"Master? But I thought you yourself is really the master." I gave a puzzled face.
"Oh! No, I am only a butler." He clarified.
"Okay! But what can I do for your master?" I nodded once as a sign of agreement.
"You can work for him as his personal maid." He said with a smile full of satisfaction.
"Well, I think I can handle that." I finally agreed and smiled back again.
"I forgot to ask you, what's your name?" He asked me politely.
"My name is Mikan Sakura, a pleasure to meet you!"
"What a nice name it fits you very well! My name is Naru Hatsumo." He replied answering my upcoming question.
"Thank you! Yours is very nice to sir!"
"Oh! I forgot, what is the name of our master?" I continued
"Let's just talk about it later. For now, come with me, we will go to your new home already." He dragged me into the limousine and sat right next to me, ordering the driver to go.
