Chapter 2: Beautiful Figure
“Miss . ”
At the gentle call, I raised my head and looked at the other person . It was a man named Kelson . There was nothing to tell if he was in charge of me or what I would be doing in the future . I had very, very little information about this world .
“What’s your name?”
He said again when I looked at him blankly without understanding what I was saying .
“Don’t you have any name? What did your mother call you?”
Oh, that means a name .
Kelson used too many words I didn’t know .
The language here is natural, but it was a language that was not found anywhere else in my previous life . Languages are not just learned . Normally, mothers repeat same words in front of their children that they can understand and learn the word . But of course I couldn’t expect such care from my biological mother . I’ll still speak up to here .
Still, it was difficult to learn a language by self-study .
And it’s a very obvious story . Mothers and their colleagues, the languages they heard around them, were all lower-class languages . Therefore, it was hard to understand the language of the upper class that Kelson used because there were many expressions that I heard for the first time, even though Kelson is giving enough consideration .
“Pink eyes . ”
In my words, Kelson’s face stiffened for a moment and then gently spread out again .
I’ll have to get a new name from the duke .
-Over there……………… .
“What happens to me now?”
“First of all, you’re going to go with a car . We’ll be there soon . Then the Duke will decide your job . ”
“Ok . ”
I answered and nodded . I don’t know how much 20,000 gold coin is, but I could guess that it will be a big money .
Is it not a big deal for me?
‘You may want to use it as a maid . ’
It might be better to be the maid . At least you’ll be free to go out, and you’ll get three meals a day .
‘I’m sick and tired of oats . ’
The food, which looked just like dog food, was prickly and tasteless . There were so many stones and shells that I had to eat carefully to eat .
So while her mother was asleep, she picked up the leftovers she had with the guest . It was difficult to drink fresh water, so I used to touch the leftovers, but once I vomited because I drank too much alcohol . Since then, I have refrained from drinking as much as I could .
‘The more I think about it, the better it is to survive . ’
Feeling proud of myself, I imagined the life of a duchess’ maid .
‘Any situation would be better than it is now . ’
It seemed much better to work and get a fair pay than to live like this .
‘Of course it’s a story when you pay for it . ’
After a while the car stopped . Kelson get off the car and helping me to get off .
“I thought about it earlier, but you’re like a straw doll . ”
I felt my cheeks turn red at those words . I know myself well that I’m not good at scams . My mother had never done anything like brushing my hair .
I even brushed my own hair with a hand brush, but my hair was like a broom because of lack of nutrition . It got tangled and clung together, and it snapped .
If I hadn’t washed it a few days before I went to see the Duke, it would have smelled pretty good .
Kelson added that he might have noticed that I was ashamed . I glanced at my finger . I could see the joints of my fingers intact .
‘It’s like a skinny skewer . ’
“Well, welcome to the Duke of Castielo . ”
Kelson gently touched my shoulder and said: “You should take off your eyes from your fingers and look straight . ”
“Wow!”
Unconsciously, there was a burst of exclamation . A huge building made of pure white stone was showing her beautiful appearance . Reflected by sunlight, the building shone smoothly and white . A corridor with endless arches, high ceilings, and marbled floors .
Gently pushing my standing shoulder, Kelson began to move his steps by saying: “Come this way . ”
I followed him with quick steps . Just looking at the beautiful paintings and wallpaper in the hallway made me feel happy . Climbing the high stairs, Kelson explained the structure and I tried to remember them .
