Chapter 46:Being Ordinary-I
Vella saw Nancy storming off and turned her face to Elise. Elise looked up at her staring and asked, "What is it, Vella?"
"I've never seen soone so brave to go against a mythical being in a state of aggression." She spoke with her stale tone that it almost sounded as though she was being sarcastic but perhaps she was really being sarcastic to Elise at the mont. Vella paused and added with a sigh. "Next ti, you shouldn't go against them. That one just now you were lucky but I doubt you would be next ti."
"I would stand down if it isn't my matter, however, you're my friend now, Vella. It's a problem to if I back down to see you hard." Elise replied with a smile. Though it was true that so of mythical beings are frightening like the ones who attacked her town, she knew far better than there are mythical being who still could be reasoned with. But next ti, she sure have to rethink her move or else she wouldn't leave unscathed.
Vella stood there watching her for a mont. Sure enough Elise was a smart girl and after hearing "ex-convict" she doubted the girl would still want to befriend her but she didn't place her focus there. She was just a girl with a warm soul. Vella chuckled faintly, her usual face that was coated with coldness and cynical gaze now turned to a heartfelt smile. "I never thought I will get to hear that again." She whispered and walked away from the hallway.
"In any case, I didn't know that you rember the laws of the Church." Vella spoke.
"Yes, it's a dream for to work in the Church." Being a studious girl with a dream achieving to pass the test to work in the Church, for her rembering the rules of the Church is sothing that she have to rember by heart. Thus she didn't think it was much of a praiseworthy act but Vella had a disbelief expression.
"If I'm not wrong, the laws of the Church is about two thousand, right? You rembered all of them?"
"Yes." Elise nodded in confirmation.
"Haha," Vella suddenly burst to a chuckle, she patted Elise's shoulder and shook her head. "But thanks to that we could see Nancy's irritated face. Thank you, Elise for helping . But next ti you don't have to, as you know Nancy isn't the only mythical beast here. I am too a mythical being." Vella spoke. Her cynical and cold expression seed to ease after the scene.
"That-" Elise paused thinking whether it would sound rude and asked. "May I ask what kind of mythical beings are you?" Carn is a vampire and there are less mythical beings that could take human's appearance. For tis, she saw Vella a little different than any mythical beings she knows.
"You'll know soon enough." Vella replied ambiguously.
"Elise, bow." Vella quickly bowed after whispering to Elise and imdiately Elise did what her friend pointed.
Maroon seed to make a judgent with his eyes. "Don't speak in the hall." He warned coldly and disappeared back to his job. That being said, Elise took a note at the end after a while of watching Maroon, the White's mansion's butler. He was strict, cold, standoffish, but perhaps still not that much of a bad man.
On one evening, outside the back yard of the White's Mansion, Elise began on pulling the white bed covers from the wooden bucket and gave it a good whip to drain out the excess water before hanging it to the long thread. Seeing her works finally ended for the noon, Elise wiped her sweats with her forearm. Aryl her little friend who always seed to be complaining of her friend's invitation nevertheless leave so tis to check her fellow faeries, she usually did it in either early in the morning or late at night. But today, Aryl told her that she had sothing important to discuss with her friends and left for a whole day.
"It's ti for your break, right? You can go now, Elise." Said the maid nad Erline, still holding her bucket that had lessened from the mountain of white clothe.
"I'll be going then." Elise replied and left. Today for sure at her break ti, Elise had planned to t her little friend Curly at the shed. She had been missing tis too much and the maids' break each have tis in the day schedule by the butler due to the large amount of servants inside the house.
When she get by the shed, Elise turned around watching the shed to find out where Curly. "Curly?" She spontaneously called the Cerberus's na hoping that the dog would rember his nickna that she gave.
"Hm?" A sound of a questioning him ca behind her, Elise turned to look in surprise, finding a young man of her age standing with a rather tattered clothing. "Missy, are you possibly calling the na of the Lord's dog?" The young man asked.
"Yes, are you the one assigned for the shed?" She asked as she saw him holding a rounded brush that was used to brush the horses' mane.
"You're correct." The young man smiled, pulling his lips wide. "Are you a new maid?" He asked again and saw Elise nodding.
"Hm, I think soone must've told you this but the dog isn't friendly so I recomnd to not get close to him or just don't greet the dog." The young man stated calmly.
"No, it isn't a problem." Though Curly was not friendly to the new people he just t, she rembered well of how ta Curly was. "Can you show the way?" she asked politely.
The young man though for a long mont, mulling over whether he should've show her the way because to his eyes the girl is too fragile and he certainly doesn't want to witness a young girl wounded after being fiercely bitten by the dog. "Don't tell I haven't warned you, alright." The young man spoke again.
