Blissful Oblivion
Test Chapter
"Ah, you must be Lyadora", cooed the highly ornamented noble, as she inspected her nails carefully. The girl in the doorway winced. The conceited fool of a lady had mispronounced her name, saying "Lee-ah-doo- ra". She looked over at the lady, managed to fake a smile, and replied, "If it pleases my lady, it is pronounced 'Lie-ah-dora.'" "I see", mumbled the lady, obviously unhappy with being corrected. She sat up straight and beckoned for the girl to come in. "My name is lady Armelia of Illyria. As you know, your parents have bonded you to my service."
At this statement, Ly shot her a dirty glare, but Armelia chose to ignore it, and continued. ".You will be my maid, and your monthly earnings will be sent directly to your family. I will feed you, clothe you, and give you a place to sleep, but these are privileges, and I expect you to follow orders directly and without complaint." Ly smirked. What the lady was telling her was that if she were a good little girl, she may get food and sleep. She was feeling more and more at home by the minute.
"Do we have an agreement?" asked Lady Armelia, frowning at Ly's smirk. Ly felt like asking "Do I have a choice?" but instead, thinking that she would appreciate food tonight, dropped into a deep curtsy and said in a sickeningly sweet voice "Of course. You are most gracious, my lady." "Good", answered the lady, with her usual fake smile plastered back on her face. "Blaire will show you to your chambers".
