The rainy season was over and summer had finally arrived. Sleeping was uncomfortable due to the high humidity, the half-awake birds immediately snapped out of their state as dawn approached.

Hearing a stiff yet light knocks on the door, she twitched her ears.

*Knock*Knock*

“Sheila, its morning already!”

“…….ugh, five more minutes, no please let this one sleep until the end of the day”

‘Ugh, what a headache’ Sheila huddled her body as she covered her head with the blanket.

"I can’t … Young master asked me to make sure you will eat breakfast. H e also ordered me not to let you sleep all day" The voice behind the door said.

*Knock*Knock*Knock*

The overcautious knocking was tormenting her and there were lonely sounds that echoed within her consciousness.

Even if it was like this, the act of wanting to sleep again won her over.

The overcautious knocking still continued to resound.

*Knock*Knock*Knock*Knock*

Every knock was subsequently louder. As if someone was using a siege type weapon to forcefully open the door.

“Ah, muu! Fine! Alright, I'm coming!”

Because she can’t endure the loud banging anymore, she reluctantly stood up and opened the door.

As soon as she opened it, what greeted her was Sasha who was wearing her usual maid uniform while pushing a trolley containing the breakfast she had already prepared into the room.

“Good morning, Sheila!”

“Ah, Good morning!”

“Sheila, Young master asked me to teach you some things regarding human society so you better do what I say today, okay!”

“Hm? You must mean to teach this one to become a good wife, right? Then there is no need, this one knows full well on how to become a good wife, so there’s no need!” She said while puffing her chest.

Seeing this, Sasha let out a dejected sigh.

She already gave up correcting and retorting that ‘wife’ idea as to avoid some troubles. She already had a slight understanding on Sheila’s train of thoughts and behavior.

“Yes, yes becoming a good wife, right? Then you must also know how to act like one.”

“Of course, what dost think of this one?”

“Fine, then you’ll help me clean the whole house and do chores right?”

“Huh? What doth art thee talking about?” As if wondering about Sasha’s sudden

proposal, she tilted her head cutely while eating.

“Hm? Of course, if you want to become a good wife then you must also help clean the house and do household chores, right?”

“Huh? Art doth crazy?”

“Eh? Why? Is there something wrong?” Now this time, it was Sasha’s turn to become bewildered as she continuously blink her beautiful big and round eyes.

Obviously she didn’t get what Sheila is implying to.

“Haa~ This one gave up!” Sheila let out a long, long sigh and then she look at Sasha with pitying eyes.

*Pikon*

A large vein popped in Sasha’s forehead as soon as she noticed the way Sheila used while looking at her.

‘Being looked down by this birdbrain, arrrgh! I can’t accept it! Just what did she mean by that!? Did she want to do all the chores alone, thinking it is how a good and wonderful wife is? Arrgh, I won’t let you look good by yourself when Prince Lyle return. Hmph!’

Dark thoughts was budding inside Sasha’s brain as she continue to wonder as to why Sheila is feeling high and mighty.

“J-just what do you mean by that?” Sasha asks her.

“Haa~, you really don’t know? That’s why youngsters this day…” Sheila said while snorting. Seeing this, another vein popped out on her forehead.

“T-Then what?”

“Fine I’ll tell you…” She stopped eating and puffed her chest out “Its common sense that a wife will not do any hard labor and let others do things for them, you know! Cleaning? Hahaha only servants do those things, wife should only eat, sleep, mate, then mate, and mate that’s all! How’s that, amazing right!?”

Sasha fell down on her seat as soon as she heard what Sheila said.

JUST WHERE THE HELL DID YOU CULTIVATE YOUR SO-CALLED COMMON SENSE, YOU BIRDBRAIN IDIOT! --- Sasha retorted on her mind.

She was now regretting taking her seriously. She overestimated the girl in front of her, or maybe the right term would be she underestimated her stupidity too much!

“You know what …” Sasha finally spoke as soon as she finally came back to her senses.

“What do you mean by common sense? A good wife must be good at doing household chores like; cleaning the house, watering the plants and others. So throw that so-called common sense of yours and help me work today!”

“What!? What doth thou mean help you with work? I’m the wife you know!”

“Yes yes, you’re the ‘wife’ wannabe, right?”

“Did thou say something?”

“Nothing! The point is you should learn how to take care of the house if you want to become a good wife!”

“Hmph! How can someone like thee who don’t have common sense understand this one?”

*Pikon*

It seems another vein burst out on Sasha’s forehead.

This birdbrain!

“Come on; don’t be like that, help me with the chores will you!”

“It’s not this one problem that this house is too big. Just why thou humans need big houses to live anyway? This one can’t understand!”

“Of course!” Sasha suddenly stood up “I can’t let the young master live in a dorm and live with some stranger as a roommate, and especially I can’t live with him if he stayed in that kind of place…”

“This one can’t hear it clearly, can thou speak louder!” Sheila urged.

“N-Nothing, ehem, most of all, I can’t let my prince live in a small and shabby house isn’t it! That is why I bought a big house befitting of my prince status!” She smiled with proud and joy.

“Then isn’t thou doth lies the fault”

“I-I don’t care, hmph, if you don’t want then I’ll do it alone! I bet the young master will praised me as soon as he return, ehehehehe”

Sasha bouncing while walking happily towards the door and the corner of her lips curved up a little. When she was about to leave suddenly,

“Wait!” A voice resounded in the room.

“Hm? What is it? Do you need anything?” Sasha asked Sheila who stood up while fidgeting.

“I-If thou really insist, then this one will help thou clean the house!”

Sasha was bewildered by her sudden change.

“Not really! I think I can do it alone though!”

‘Most importantly, this is my time to shine!’ She thought.

“W-well, if thou really insist. And this one don't want to do it because of praise okay, th-this one only do this be-because thou really look like dost needest help.

That’s right, haha this one really is a benevolent being!”

Not listening to her, Sheila insisted that Sasha insist on asking for help.

‘This idiot …’

“No, it's okay, I can manage it! This is just small compared to the palace after all; you can just sleep there if you like.”

“NO! this one will help thee, don’t worry as long as this one is here, this house will be clean in an instant.”

“Fine, if you really want to help then please do so!”

Giving up, Sasha finally said so as she left her room.

“Yosh! This one will clean anything so that this one will be praised by Lyle! Ehehehe this one really is a good wife!”

Sheila muttered.

Unbeknownst to Sasha, what awaits her is nothing but trouble.

Instead of helping her clean all Sheila did was break things and mess around making

Sasha’s work even harder.

But that’s for another story.

It’s really a long, long, long day for the two girls inside Lyle’s mansion.
