Normal POV(3rd Person PoV)

After her punishment Akane went to the inn's lobby, the receptionist called her out.

"Akane can you please give this to Yuni-Chan, the Garrison Commander left it for her."

The receptionist smiled and handed Akane a letter, she thanked the receptionist and went back to their room.

"Yuni you have a letter from Chiharu."

The two read the letter and stared at each other. With a worried look on her face Akane asked.

"Do you really want to work for Chiharu as a maid? She seems really interested on hiring you."

Yuni smiled and vigorously nodded.

"Yes, I would want to work as Chiharu's maid, if it means that I could be by your side whereever you go."

The two wore their finest dress and west to the east side of Dalen, the district of nobles and rich merchants.

"This is the address on the letter right? The one that Chiharu left."

Yuni nodded as the two stared at the mansion, Akane reached for the doorbell, a maid opened the gates, she bowed and told the two.

"Our lady is expecting you, please make yourself at home.

The two were escorted by the maid to Chiharu's office.

"Welcome to my humble home Akane and Yuni."

Wearing a simple, yet elegant light blue gown Chiharu greeted the two with a smile on her face.

The maid whom escorted the two brought some tea and asked the girls to sit down.

"Have you made up your mind Yuni?"

Yuni clenched her fist, she nodded, face filled with determination. Chiharu placed an application form on the desk and asked.

"Do you know how to read and write?"

Yuni nodded, Akane had a boastful smile as she muttered to herself.

"Of course she does, we spent most of our free time reading books."

Afterwards Yuni returned the form back to Chiharu whilst smiling, Chiharu clapped her hands, without delay two maids entered.

"How may we be of service milady?"

Chiharu smiled and told the two maids.

"She's new here, I want you to teach her proper manners and etiquette."

The two maids smiled and replied.

"As you wish milady, mind telling us your name young miss?"

The older maid asked, looking downwards Yuni answered shyly.

"Yu-Yuni."

"Such a cute name, my name is Elise and this young maid behind me is Aoi."

"I know right, anyways it's nice to meet you Yuni."

"L-Likewise."

Elise giggled and patted Yuni.

"First let's take your measurements for your uniform. We would like you to come with us Yuni."

"Wh-What do you mean?"

The two maids smiled and held Yuni on one hand each and dragged her out of the room.

"Cam I ask you a question Chiharu?"

"Hmm, what is it Akane?"

Akane whom had a serious look on her face asked.

"How did you manage to give me a high ranking position in the army?"

Chiharu went silent, her smile disappeared and all that remained is a serious glare.

"What are you implying Akane?"

"You used the influence of my mother didn't you, she told me that she once served in the army and attained a great amount of influence."

Chiharu sighed.

"You're right, she did attain great renown. Not only in our country but throughout the continent."

"Can you tell me more about her exploits."

A smile could be seen on Chiharu's face as she shook her head and told Akane.

"I swore to your mother that I would never reveal her secret to anyone, especially her daugther."

"Tch!"

Akane clicked her tongue and took another sip of tea.

There was silence between the two until someone began knocking on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, Yuni and the maids entered the room. With an embarrassed look on her face Yuni asked.

"Well... does it suit me?"

She asked Akane as she twirls around wearing her maid uniform, Akane had a beet red face as she replied.

"Ye-Yeah, it looks really good on you Yuni."

For three days Yuni began to receive training on etiquette and manners from the maids named Elise and Aoi.
