《Kindred》Chapter 36 – Reading Miss’s Mind…
Advertisement
"Listen well, Latifa. As a personal maid of a noble miss, you always need to know what your master wants. Even before she says it."
I'm currently receiving a lesson on maid duties from Teddy.
I shall not be distracted by Teddy's shining bald head.
Therefore, I nod at him seriously.
"That's why I'm giving you a lesson right now." He says slowly
Hmm? What does he mean by that?
I tilt my head.
"Recall what Prince Si said earlier."
Just as Teddy said, I recall Prince Si's words.
Mei Mei, how about a dinner? Just the two of us?
"Did you recall?" Teddy asks.
"Awu." Yes. I answer him.
"No matter what, your Miss can't go on her own without her personal maid, right?"
Eh? Eeehhhh? Is that so???
Doesn't that mean I failed as a maid?!
"A personal servant must always be by his master's side. He can leave only if master gives the order. But Miss Meira would never give you the order to leave her side. That's what I figured after seeing the interaction between the two of you. Therefore, I, as Prince Si's personal servant, suggested something that would make you want to leave Miss's side." He says slowly.
Huh? What is he talking about?
Why would Miss want to give me what I want?
"You don't seem to understand."
"Didn't Miss Meira present you today with many items that she wanted you to have?" He asks me.
Yes, that's right.
Clothes, jewels, food.
Miss wanted to buy something for me the whole day.
"However, you refused each and every one of them. That's when she saw your face full of expectations when I suggested that I will teach you, she had to allow you to go. She wanted you to have something, but you didn't want anything. Therefore, she decided to let you go with me. Because you wanted to."

Hm? I don't understand...
"I determined that your miss won't order you to leave. Unless you want to leave her side on your own. Therefore, I suggested something that would tickle your interest and make you want to leave Miss Meira's side, leaving Prince Si and Miss Meira alone." Teddy explains.
"All in order to please my master. That is the duty of the personal servant." He adds.
I see!
Because of my interest in being a great maid like Sophia, Prince Si got what he wanted!
What a blunder!
I left Miss with that stealing, annoying, smug lord!
"If you want to be a great servant, you will need to learn everything about your miss first." Teddy says.
"Awuu?" Learn everything?
Teddy nods.
"Everything. Her likes and dislikes, her habits, her favourite color, her favorite smell, the length of her steps when she's in a bad mood."
Eh? What?
Putting her likes and dislikes aside.
The length of her steps when she's in a bad mood?
Wouldn't it better to just read her-
"Right. You basically need to read her mind. That's how you become a great maid." He says slowly.
But, that's not possible!
Reading Miss's mind... Becoming a Martial Saint would be easier!
"Although there are techniques which allow you to read minds of other people, these are very rare. The people in the whole world who have this technique can be counted on your fingers."
Then, it's impossible after all!
"However, by cultivating, one can perceive the changes in the aura around people more precisely." Teddy explains.
"Awuu?!" Really?!
"Latifa, you want to become a great maid like Lady Sophia, right?"
"Awu! Awu!" I answer while nodding.
"Do you know Lady Sophia's cultivation level?" Teddy asks me.
I shake my head.
I don't know Sophia's cultivation level.
She never talks about cultivation.
"Lady Sophia is Mid Martial Sage cultivator!" Teddy says with admiration.
Mid Martial Sage?!
How- No it's Sophia after all...
Huh? But...
Isn't the Quas Emperor the only cultivator in the entire Empire with Mid or higher Martial Sage cultivation?
... How cool!
As expected of Sophia!

Blaze
The story of a fire elemental's life in a world dominated by mages. He will have to learn how to manage betrayals, treachery, and maybe even love as he goes on adventures to find a meaning to it all. From dark, humble beginnings he will rise... or fall, devastating amounts in his journey across the world. Hello, Author here! I am, unfortunately, rather terrible at coming up with descriptions that seem to have the right amount of decorum and yet actually serve their function of adequately describing the story, so here's the coursenotes. - The story follows a fire elemental. (As you can tell from that, it is heavily besed on fantasy with mages and the like. Technology will not feature prominently) -As mentioned in the tags, this will have game-like aspects. (E.G. levels, stats. I will be trying to put my own twist on this notion however, so bear with me if the premise intrests you but you despise LitRpg) -It'll get rather dark, but not devastatingly so. (I'm trying to write a more complex story so it will have its dark moments, the prologue being one of them. Rest assured the whole story will not be this dark, though I'll make sure that no-one is a saint either) -The protagonist/protagonists will not be a Mary-Sue. (The plural will be understood when I'm further into the story. They also won't be impossiby unlikeable such as those in many Light novels.) -There is no prophecy (Anyone who says there is, is lying, trust me.)
