So I know that I've been gone for a while but this time it was a personal business that kept me from updating this story. But in good news I took a vacation and left the city I live in for three days and felt all of the negative energy that I usually have just wash away and not gonna lie I feel good. But thank you all returners and newcomers for being so patient.

Chapter 29:

"Sebastian..."

"Yes Celesta?"

"Who is Lady Elizabeth?" I asked.

Sebastian and I were walking down the hall and a few minutes after we left the young masters office when I asked him the question. I looked up at him as he answered my question.

"Lady Elizabeth is the young master's fiance..."

I stopped and stood there in thought. How could a boy of 13 be engaged when I'm older than him and barely know a thing about even liking a person let alone a guy? It was understanable that he most likely did it for family ties but it confused me a little. If he has no parents left and not even an adult figure in his life, why would he marry someone he probably doesnt want to?

"Having to be forced into marriage and having to deal with the other person isn't ideally fun. But, are they even in love? The young master doesn't seem to be..."

"Yes, the young lady does, in fact, have strong feelings towards the young master but in this situation, it is almost unrequited. The young master does, in fact, love her but also cannot stand her for the love she gives."

"So in other words, she's clingy."

"Indeed."

"Shit," I muttered, "Being clingy in certain situations is cute, but if it gets to the point where it's annoying..."

I had met many kids with similar personalities to Lady Elizabeth and I knew what it was like having to have a child cling on to oneself because "my hair was so pretty." But it became an annoyance a few times.

I gave my goodbye to Sebastian before heading in the direction of Lady Elizabeth's intended guest room. As I cleaned up the room I noticed the girly clothing in the closet and a golden haibrush on the vanity. I assumed it to be the young lady due to arrive in a few hours. I mopped and dusted and flattened out the bed sheets while also adding a little scented candle in the room to add to the cleanliness and made my way out of the room once I finished.

I walked in a good mood, my chin up and my body feeling light as I thought of the state of the room. The bed was neatly made, no dust particles on any of the surface, the vanity was dusted and washed to perfection and the whole room was basically sparkling from the sun's rays through the window. I was proud of myself. It made me feel useful to think that I wasn't just here to fix the trio's mistakes.

I started heading down to the kitchen to get a snack seeing as how it was still around mid-morning and I haven't eaten yet. But on my way there I heard yelling... a feminine yelling. Which meant that Mey-rin had broken something... again.

"Well, she could've set the mansion on fire..." I muttered.

I spoke too soon as a big BOOM was heard coming from the lower level of the mansion's floors. Immediately I knew it was Bard. I pinched my nose, my good mood turning completely sour as I knew I was the one who was going to be fixing their mess. It was only a matter of time until Finny ruined the garden. So, I continued walking, prepared to do my duties as the head maid.

"Now what do we have here?"

Sebastian was as irritated as he could ever be and it was clear on his face. The trio, poor children, were shaking from fear from Sebastian's looming glare.

"I accidentally tripped and broke all of the glass..."

"Lunch was taking too long to cook so I wanted to use my flamethrower..."

"The herbicide spilled all over the plants..."

They looked sullenly down at the floor while I looked at them with pity. Telling from their reaction, they felt too bad to apologize the way they normally do.

"Such imbeciles..." Sebastian muttered.

"If you don't mind me saying you guys," I spoke up, sitting on a chair near the counter eating an apple I grabbed from the pantry, "just be patient with your work. You don't have to be like Sebastian. The stick he has is too far up his ass. Don't let that happen to you."

They all looked at me not sure how to handle the fact that I just insulted Sebastian.

"Just clean up your mess and go back to work."

With that they all left, leaving me and Sebastian in the kitchen with an overwhelming amount of tension to grow in the air.
