Chapter 6: HistoryWhile I am still waiting for the maiden who will help me in something I don't know, I just roam around to see how beautiful the interior of this room is. Unlike the interior of the mansion, this room is a combination of beige colors and wooden things that complement every corner of the room.I sigh and sit at the end of my bed, I pass my hands through the soft bed and I feel how soft and fluffy it was. I am thinking about what is happening to my life. Not a little while, the day before this day, I was running from the people who gave me nightmares. I felt like dying, I met a vampire and a werewolf that ruled the entire Cromoria and now, here I am.I am contemplating the things I have learn inside that room, the room that filled with higher peoples who place at the top of the caste system, I won't be surprised if there is a board member of the council among those people particularly those five people, six including Aziel Craven, I'll be more afraid if Aziel Craven
Chapter 7: LostI rubbed my eyes after waking up from the alarm clock I had set for my training. I am lazy sitting down on my bed and I am starting to stare into a void. I looked at the alarm clock that keeps on ringing. It is exactly 2:00 am in the morning.This is the first time in my entire life that I will be waking up before the chickens, besides having a nightmare. Usually in the sir mansion, where I serve for almost two years, I am waking at exactly four o'clock in the morning. It is to prepare myself and after an hour I will start my day by cleaning. Actually, except me, all the maids in the mansion have an specific task but for me? I am an all around maid. Slave.I stretch my arms and yawn after I stop the ringing of the alarm clock. I went to the closet where Miss Penelope instructed, she said that she prepared some clothes for me. I was amazed when I looked inside the closet. Different types of dress and shirts were hanged properly by color coding. I don't know and I am hig
Chapter 8: WeaponWhat Aziel said to me keeps lingering on my mind. I want to settle my mind so I walk near to the knights who are training. I watch them move in awe, they are all amazing particularly in swinging those swords. I looked carefully at what they were holding and I found out that the swords they were using were not all the same. I'm not really familiar with swords but I know that some of them are bokkens and gladius? I didn't know that there were still gladius in the 20th century. Based on my basic knowledge, gladius is a dual edge sword with a wooden hilt. It is a weapon common in northern europe as it was an early ancient thrusting shortsword for legionaries in the 3rd century BC. Trivia eh?I heard a swishing sound of an arrow and there I found Levi practicing his skills. He possesses prowess and adroitness. I clapped when I saw that someone was waving the red flag, it was a bullseye! Seems like he was 35 meters away from his target but he still managed to ace it in th
Chapter 9: EscapeTwo weeks have passed since I moved here in the Cravens manor and in those days nothing really happened. There is no anomaly as the days pass smoothly. My training with Master Aeneas continues and I am so glad with the result of it. I am learning but it is not really easy. There are posture and stance that I am having hard on learning, thankfully Master Aeneas is a good instructor. Sometimes he is being a pedagogue but I haven't felt trepidation. It's just inevitable to have some bruises all over my body and I know that it is a part of my training.Everytime I finish training with Master Aeneas I usually talk to Elons as we become closer together. He loves chit-chatting as well as the other knights like Levi. All of us became comfortable with each other and even though they are all guys I haven't felt awkward around them. I think there is no problem befriending a guy when you are a girl and vice versa. Except for the people who give meaning behind those things.As lo
Chapter 10: HeroI jump outside from the wagon when it stops. I am fixing my wardrobe as I go to the coachman.“Thank you,sir!”I said as I handed him the silver coins I got from my room. Miss Penelope gave it to me saying that I can use it in anything I want to buy or barter. And since I am staying inside the manor and I don't have a chance of going out I decided to keep it inside my drawer.The coachman looked at me with his eyes wide open. I laugh because of how he reacts. I forgot to change my voice and I don't think he noticed it since his attention is all over the silver.“No, sir. I cannot accept such precious things. Your thank you is enough '', he smiled at me declining the silver I am giving to him. I know how hard it is to live in the present and I know how much the people needed the money, especially the villagers far from the City.I hold his hand as I put the silver coins in his hand, “This may not be too much sir but this is my way of saying thank you. If you don't min
Chapter 11: CatalystI quickly stood when I heard a knock on my door. I am still sleepy but I got to my senses when I saw what I was wearing. I haven't changed my clothes! I am still wearing the clothes I got from Elons room. Because of so much happening and I was so exhausted last night I forgot to change into my sleepy clothes. I looked at the clock and it was 7:30 am in the morning, it was Miss Penelope for sure.I went to the closeth room when she started knocking again.“Wa–Wait!”I shouted while wearing my pants and I didnt know if she heard it. I just dropped Elons clothes anywhere and before Miss Penelope opens the door I jump into bed pretending that I am still sleeping.“Calliope? It is time to eat your breakfast”, she said tapping me a little to wake me up. I opened my eyes, acting like a stupid. I stretched my arms and yawned.“What time did you sleep? You look so tired”, she asked as she sit down on my bed“It is just that– I cannot sleep”, I just said not knowing what to
Chapter 12: Heart AttackToday is monday so basically, it is back to normal. My training is canceled because until now, Master Aeneas is still in the Hadrach Village. Being a Commander seems to be hard since it is one of the official positions in command. It is 6:30 am in the morning and I'm all dressed. I am planning to go to the training area to practice by myself. I have thought that even Master Aenenas is not here,I need to continue practicing my defense and offense. And if there is a position that I need to learn or if I am having a hard time executing the stance I can go ask Elon and the other knights to help me.Last day, before this day, Elon and Levi were so surprised when I said that I am mated to Gideon Morris, the future Alpha. They ask me if I know Gideon and what is my relationship to him since he called me My Calliope.I remember Levis face when he heard that, he was acting like he was so heart broken as he started crying without tears. Elon also acted so weird since h
Chapter 13: ThornI feel like a zombie while eating my breakfast. I didn't sleep even a blink last time and second ago, Miss Penelope kept on talking to me but I was not in my right mind as I kept on sighing and nodding to every question she was asking. I sigh one last time before going out of my room as I looked into the mirror and there I saw how ugly I am. Dark circles around my eyes, messy hair and pale color, yeah a true zombie. I am going to the training field because I was told by one of the knights last night that he was instructed by Master Aeneas to tell me that he will make an announcement.So he already came back huh, I am just thinking why we didn't continue our training for today but it seems like he will say something important for me today and it was making me nervous. As I walked throughout my way, everyone kept on looking at me like there is something wrong with my face. But there is really something wrong with my face.They keep on murmuring but still they are smi
