In the servant building, there is one of the room which being lit dimly. Morning hasn't come and sun hasn't rise. And so, that place is still dark without light except what remaining of the candle on the table.

In the bed, lie Cecilia, a brown haired girl with a cute face, which is can be predicted to turn into beauty in the future. Right now, she is wearing nothing except her night gown, and on her embrace is the unopened bundle Yoro has given.

The room is full of silence, it is as expected because its still a while before dawn come. But there, Cecilia raise her body up and begin to stretch her arms to the side.

Her bio alarm has ringing, a sign for her to start her another day as a maid in training in the Ehren mansion. Another day for her to serve her beloved young master.

As she thinking of that, a smile unintentionally get into her face. After she get off the bed, she approach the wardrobe provided for her by the marquis. It's not much, but quite accomodating.

After wearing her maid uniform, she start to apply her make-up in front of the mirror. She know her face is already quite cute in naturally. But she is determied to look beautiful at all time for her young master, as she want to give her best as his vassal.

Cecilia: "Yosh, let's get on duty then"

Going out of her bedroom, she can see Bella in her maid outfit on the corridor. As Bella sees her, she give Cecilia her usual smile and comes towards her,

Giving out her best fake smile, Cecilia greet her with a bow: "good morning, Bella-san"

As she bows, she tried to be as polite and as elegance as she could, but can be seen in there some stiffness in her posture, a sign she hasn't used to doing this kind of thing for a long period of time.

Raised her head back, Cecilia look at Bella in the eyes. All while she is remembering the first time she met him, met this woman, and met the owner of this mansion.

==========================

It's raining...

In the middle of the road that filled with darkness, a girl with brown muddy hair and ragged condition can be seen trying to collect the water from the rain.

Her brown eyes is dull, and the hand she lifted up is shaking. Her body is so small, like she is suffering from some kind of malnutrition. And the clothes she wear is just barely if not outright exposing her starving state.

It's truly a pitiful sight.

But unfortunately, there is no one around that sees her right now, no one to pity her nor even care about her condition. As she is no one but just a fleeing slave.

After she waits for a while, the water is finnaly reached the top of her hands, but just as she want to drink it, her vision turns blurry. Her body feels so weak with no strength left in her legs muscle. Then without choice, she falls...hard to the ground bellow.

In her blurry vision, she strecth out her hand, try to hopelessly ask for help. "Anyone, anyone is fine...just, please... he-lp m- e.." Her voice is hoarse, and she trying her best to make her sound as hard as she could. But no one came...

One second in the reality like an eternity for her. She don't want to die, she don't ever want to die like this. But if fate has choosen, who could go against it?

Cecilia: 'ah...i am gonna die isn't it?...' She has no one to help her, not even herself could. So it is not strange for having a dark thought when she is dying.

And as she want to let it go, to end this helpless condition of her. Just when her hands is too heavy to hold, she drops it...just to be taken by someone.

Her vision is blurry, but from darkness, she can see two orb, precisely, two bright eyes that glowing like a moon in the night. That blue colour which give her a hope. A hope that make her feels some kind of sense of security. And so, she trusted her hands to this boy.

And that is when her life changed 180 degree from that point.

============================

Back to present.

Stopping in front of Cecilia, Bella's smile hasn't faded and instead, become wider as she see Cecilia bowing to her, as she can see that Cecilia start to put effort in her etiquette.

Bella: "good morning Cecilia-san. Today, our job is to tend the garden, and your part is the one facing the yard" she said in the carefree tone.

Cecilia: "what?! b-but, isn't it too big for me alone?!" Shocked, Cecilia stuttered in her word.

Even after she gives Bella her best puppy eyes, Cecilia is still outright ignored by her. And mintaining her smile, Bella said to Cecilia: "you will be gratefull to me later. Just come to there first, then complain later"

And when Bella said that, Bella chuckled to herself as she turn her body around. Cecilia seeing her mentor act so mysteriously, have no choice but to follow her.

Cecilia: "i hope you are right about this, or i will be so mad at you" grit her teeth, she snort at Bella as Bella herself just giggle seeing Cecilia antics.

Bella: "Oh i am so scared, fufufu" covering her mouth she and Cecilia walk to the place where is Yoro at.

===================

Bella: "alright, look at there" when they have arrived at the garden which Cecilia have to tend, Bella is pointing at one place in the yard.

Cecilia as she is, already looking at that spot even before Bella can point out what she mean. In where she pointed at, is standing two conspisious people.

One of them is a baldy. With shaved beard and body packed full of muscles. He is now holding a wooden sword that pointed out at the person in front of him.

But that is not what she is focussed at.

While that baldy is indeed conspisious and can attract many eyes from people passing (if there is one). She is focussed at the person in front of him.

A boy with a jet black hair and bright blue eyes. His face somehow is quite pretty for his gender, and his height is slightly too tall for his age, which is not exceed ten years old. Holding a wooden sword in his hands, he is standing in stance like that baldy in front of him.

Cecilia: "is...is that young master?..." Her voice is trailed in the end, her eyes is a bit dazed at what she seen right now.

Bella: "Yup, now, do you want-" grinning at her reaction, she want to ask her if she is bothered by this. but even before she can complete her sentence, Cecilia interrupted her in the mid-way.

Cecilia: "let me have this part!" Shouting energeticaly, she vigourously grab her tools from Bella's hand, making Bella chuckle involuntarily.

Bella: "alright, but do your job properly, okay? Make sure you cut the right stalk, watch out for any weed in the plant, and don't forget to-" but as Bella see that Cecilia is not listening, she can just sigh tiredly to herself while having a thought in her head.

Bella: 'truly a young maiden in love, even i can't do anything about this kind of thing' smiling helplessly, she turn her body away and then walking to the place where she need to tends of.

All while Cecilia is still standing there. Dazed at that bright eyes, the bright blue eyes that make her remember, and always will. Even when the sun has stopped rising, and even if the sky started falling, she will always know in her heart.

That she is nothing without him.
