Akiara after finishing up doing laundry she went to kitchen to cook something for Teivel. She walked to her room with tray. She noticed Teivel was holding and staring at her school uniform.

Teivel dropped it on her bed looking flustered, "I'm sorry! This isn't what you think! I was just staring at it that's all!"

She spoke coldly, "It's alright M'lady. You don't need to worry about it." she placed the tray on the bed.

"Rice porridge?"

Akiara bowed avoiding her look, "I apologize M'lady to cook the same dish again."

She bit her lower lip, "Will she shout at me for cooking the same dish again?"

"It's fine. You don't need to worry about it. I was gonna ask you to cook rice porridge again."

Her eyes slightly grew wide, "Y-you do?"

She smiled, "Yeah."

"I should get going M'lady. I have other works to finish." She turned around walking away.

She grabbed her wrist, "Wait! Did you eat for lunch?"

"Don't worry about it M'lady. I will after I finish my work."

"You are lying. You even skipped your breakfast. You must take care of yourself."

She saw a splitting image of her manager, "She's speaking just like manager."

"How about sharing the porridge with me?"

"Sharing?"

"Yes. C'mon sit here." She pulled her closer and made her sit on the bed.

She noticed Akiara's hands were trembling. She touched her hand reassuring her.

"Is it really... alright M'lady?" She asked nervously.

"Her expression seems like she was raised in harsh environment."

She came closer to her face and smiled at her with flirtatious look, "No one's gonna hurt you. Only you and me are staying in this mansion. So no one will notice us what we are doing."

"Pardon?"

She came back to her position, "Nothing. Let's eat before it gets cold."

After sharing a meal with her she went back to her work. She worked hard for past few days without any rest. Teivel slowly got her strength to move on her own. She noticed Akiara was planting seeds on an empty patch of land. She walked there to see them.

"What are you planting Akiara?"

She bowed, "M'lady I am planting vegetables. I found it in garden shed."

She noticed dark circles under her eyes, "Akiara, did you get enough sleep?"

"Yes M'lady-" she collapsed.

Teivel caught her in time. Akiara was shivering and her face was all red. She touched her forehead with her forehead. Her eyes grew wide. She carried her on her back and walked to Akiara's room. She laid her on the bed and puts on the blanket.

"Looking at her face seems like she is exhausted from fatigue. Maybe high fever is caused from lack of sleep."

She walked out and came back with a small tub of cold water and a strap of cloth. She placed it on the nightstand. She wet the cloth and squeezed out excessive water. She placed it on her forehead. She took care of her whole night.

Akiara opened her eyes. She was lying on the pool of red water. She sat and looked around. She saw her parents and sister standing faraway.

"Mom Dad! Mitsuko!" She stood up.

They were walking away. She ran towards them about she tripped and fell. She showed her hand crying.

"Mom Dad Mitsuko! Don't go! I'm sorry! DON'T GO!"

"DON'T GO!" Akiara sat with tears streaming down her eyes. Teivel opened her eyes and sat.

"Akiara you woke up. Phew... but why are you crying?"

She noticed and wiped it off, "I-it's nothing."

"Let me check your temperature." She came closer and touched her forehead with her hand.

"Good... fever's down. Why you don't sleep?"

"I... it's something personal."

She gently caressed her cheek, "You don't need to carry all your pain inside you. I will share half of your pain."

"Oh no! I must water the plants!" She got off the bed and ran towards the garden.

"Oh my, she deliberately changed the subject." Teivel smirked.

Akiara filled the watering can with water. Teivel arrived there.

"I can do something to make them grow quickly."

"Huh? You do?"

"Yes. You seedlings have the blessings of Goddess Aquene. Grow my little ones." She showed her hand.

Suddenly sparkles of gold glitter appeared in thin air. They fell in the ground. Plants started to grow quickly and soon they bore vegetables. Akiara stared at her in awe and confusion.

"Who... are you?"

"I'm Teivel. Daughter of Ziv Verlice."

"But how do you...?"

"Truth to be told I am blessed with holy powers."

"But... people call you sick lady."

She leaned behind the tree trunk, "Fuu... I don't know. I think its a test from the God. Please don't tell anyone about my powers."

Akiara placed her hand on her chest, "I, Akiara Nakamura swears that I will never tell anyone about your powers."

"C'mon you don't need to act like this."

"M'lady if you tell about your powers to his Grace he will accept you as his daughter."

"Nah, I have no interest in telling him about my powers. Even if I do, he will sell me off to some priests. And I don't want my freedom to be taken away. Because I got a friend by my side. And I will also help you with chores."

"Pardon?"

"I said I will also help you with chores."

"No no M'lady I cannot allow this. You are the lord of this house. How can a noble lady work with a lowly servant like me?"

"I didn't tell you another thing. I actually don't have nobility's title. I was demoted to a commoner the moment I was born."

"What? But how did you know?"

"Well my nanny visited me once and told me everything what that man said."

"That man?"

Teivel walked towards her and came closer to her which made her to take a step back.

"From now on you are also going to teach me how to cook as well."

"But-"

"No buts. This is an order from your master."

"But M'lady you just recovered from illness-"

"This is nothing. I was always sick but in order to survive I had to eat grass hoping that someone would come to rescue me. Thank you for your delicious food and a good medicine that cured it."

"I apologize M'lady that I didn't know you had a tough childhood."

"Forget it. So... will you let me help you?"

"How can I refuse as it is the order from the master?"

"Good then. Let's drop our formalities. You can call me Teivel."

"How dare I M'lady?! I cannot call my master by name."

She lifted her chin up, "It's an order."

She hesitated, "Yes M'lady I mean T-Teivel."

"Good. So tell me what are you going to do the empty garden?"

Both of them walked towards the garden shed to discuss what flowers to plant.
