1. Chapter 1

Hey guys! Um, the co owner of this account and I used to go by the pen name "Bluefirescales". Now, we are LiveLaughLoveFangirl. Now, um, this is a new story that is going to be published. However, it may not be updated until the 19th which is when exams end for us. So, here you go!

Hi! My name is Ayumi Waterbird. I am 15 years old and I currently work at the Trancy manor as a maid. I have long brown hair which people often say made me look like my father and my mother's dark blue eyes. Once upon a time, I belonged to a prestigious family with the title "The Queen's Birds". We often went here and there, never staying in one spot too long except when we stayed in our manor.

My mother was elegant and poised and always shined with colors. My father and I would always joke about how she was like that peacock that we had seen one time while visiting another country. My father was simple with only one color, white. He would always search for peace whether or not it was even possible.

It was from them that I learned to always be cheerful, no matter what life throws at me.

One day, when I was 14, my manor was burned to the ground with my father and mother trapped inside. It was no ordinary fire and it sent me over the edge, giving me breakdowns and horrible flashbacks. I was alone and abandoned, laughed at but never taken in because no one wanted the Queens bird.

When I was hired by the Trancys, specifically Alois Trancy, I gained some stability in my life. Thought I had the life of a princess, I was content with the life of a maid to the boy who had given me a life to work for.

I wasn't happy for too long though. But why that was will be revealed in due time.

At the manor, I was trained in the art of weaponry. I learned to master guns, especially handguns, and daggers. I become trained so that I could give my life up in order to protect my young master. My life was miserable and I hated it, but I stayed cheerful despite of that.

One day, my master decided to throw a ball and invite nobles and earls alike, and that's when everything changed.
