Mina's POV
When my new stepmother, and my new sisters came into my life. I didn't know I was in for.. a couple of years of neverchanging. For starters, Utau got my bedroom, then Amu took one of the nearby guest rooms into her own room. I ended up living in the basement, ya know.. Under the house. I admit, It was pretty dirty at first, but slowly I made it into a small homely place with a warm fire fire, and a small bed with old books that would be thrown away if it wasn't for the fact I went into the trash and saved whatever I can. At least, its nearby the door, where I can sneak out whenever stepmother is away from home, and my sisters are busy to notice me slip away.
Did I mention I was apart of the maid- I meant Servants? Yes, Indeed I am. Sadly, my father is gone now. Last I heard, he died while traveling to somewhere for work, a crashed happened during a thunderstorm... When he used to be around, he would defend me from my stepmother's wrath, and take me out to go somewhere.
Since my father is gone, my stepmother ended up dismissing all the servants but, me. Yukari would bark endless orders towards me as if, I was her maid 24/7, then throw parties like nothing happened.
"Mina, pick up this when you go to town."
"Mina, I see a speck of dirt. Re-mop this again! I suspected better!"
"Mina, you can take leftovers. Leave the full meals to your sisters."
"Mina, Bring this to our guests!"
It just became apart of my life. An never-ending cycle of orders, and me obeying them. It didn't put a cloud over my hopeful mood. Sometimes, I would overhear my stepsisters talking. Utau would roll her eyes, while Amu would give me looks of pity, then tried to help. Only to be stopped by Utau. I wonder why Amu was like that...
Well, today was more orders.
I woke up before the sun came up. After all, I had to get up much earlier due to me being a maid in everyone's eyes. "Good morning world. Time for another day of shine." I spoke to myself to prep myself for the today's ordeals. I sorted my my covers on my bed, made my way into a drawer with a bowl on it and seeing a mirror, with towels before grabbing a pitcher to pour water. I splashed some water on my face, before wiping it off with a fresh towel. Quickly, I changed into a suitable servant outside. I wore a light blue long sleeve, with a gray apron with a pocket in front, and brown skirt with brown shoes. With a small tinderbox, I light up a portable candle to carry.
I walked up the stairs into the kitchen. "Alright, lets see.." My dual color eyes glanced around the clean kitchen, before placing down the candle on a table, free of anything that would be burnt. "Ah right! Stepmother likes her breakfast meals this during morning.." My hands open up the storage's small wooden doors to pull out a silver tray, then a china bowl, then a teacup with a small plate. I grabbed a kettle pot to pour in some water from the sink, then placed it on the gas stove to heat up the water. While the water is getting heated, I use this free time to chop up some veggies and ginger to make soup. I placed the pot on the stove before everything is ready.
When the kettle whistles, and the soup is heated up at the right temp. I poured the hot water into the teacup that contained youthberry, then poured in the soup to the bowl. I placed the bowl of soup in the center of the tray, then youthberry-contained tea upper left corner. Spoons with provided by the side of the bowl. My hands grab both sides of the tray, then walked to upstairs.
On floor 1,
My two stepsisters were still sleeping. Lucky them. I thought before slowly entering my stepmother's grand room. Unlike my basement room where I only had such a small space, my stepmother's bedroom had large space, with a grand king bedroom in the center, and if I had to explain the master bedroom, it would be...
like, just take out of the colors, replace it just purple and black.
Thats my stepmother's room. I saw my stepmother who was sitting up, and petting our dear pet cat.
"Good morning." My voice was monotone, before placing the tray on her lap, "Today's breakfast is youth berry tea with ginger vegetables soup."
Yukari took the soup and slowly ate before she speaks,
"The soup is well done. Needs a little more vegetables." I nod in reply before she starts to give me a list of orders,
"Mina, Today I will be expecting you to go to a nearby market to get some things." She grabs her glasses to put them on, before opening an nearby nightstand's drawer, to hand over a small pouch with gold coins and a list. "I suspect you already prepared breakfast for my daughters, hm?"
Ah well, I made the soup but, I just prepare them in case. I thought to myself before answering, "Yes I did."
"Good, you are dismissed."
Before I go, I decided to prepare the meals by putting the soup in the dining table before leaving to the village..
Nags: Nice! You made it into the end! I am sorry that chapter 1 is super slow, considering how Cinderella is. I will be working on chapter 2 soon! Thank you for reading!
Utau: there he is!
Nags: gottarunbye!
