new personel

Saya glimpsed upon Speranza, but her eyes never met Speranza's gaze.

Lowering her head as she spoke shyly and quietly, Saya disclosed her skills.

"I am to help mistress dress up, comb mistress' hair, as well as, supervising mistress' meal times.

I am also to aid mistress in the bath— washing up mistress' hair and skin."

Speranza wanted to facepalm, that man truly— either he was too doting, or he took her for an idiot.

Sadly, she believed the latter was the reason. She felt like she had become an idiot that couldn't do anything by herself.

But for the sake of her dignity, she could not voice it out loud.

Thinking about her newly-acquired maids, she can only let them do their duties. If she showed displeasure, he would likely get rid of those girls or any other servant as well.

But this girl who was the youngest, she was likely only a year or two younger than her, she did not wish for her to become discarded, such things, it weighed down her heart.

Slavery was a bane in existence, but she could not help everyone— much to her sadness.

Ah! Seriously, that man could be so infuriating at times!

Especially like right now, where she felt like she could not voice her thoughts freely!

She directed a gaze to the next girl, her red hair recalled her hair colour, but it seemed more like a carrot orange hue than fiery red.

She had freckles on her cheeks, brown amber eyes with a pale peach skin tone as well as a skinny body type.

Her items of clothing composed of linen wrapped around her breast. Her privies covered by a little square pang that split at the sides like little flaps.

The square barely covered the girl buttocks and her most private space.

She thought to herself; Those two, both needed more decent clothes.

"Tell me what your name and job is."

The girl nodded and spoke slightly more with confidence, but the nervousness she likely felt still was portrayed in her voice.

"Yuya is my name mistress. My job is to keep mistress safe from any attackers, and furthermore, I am to do anything mistress deems necessary and answer to any given commands and demands. I did not get assigned to a specific job other than ensuring mistress' safety."

Her silver bell voice was quite pleasant to hear. Thinking for a moment, Speranza asked.

"Do you know how to play any musical instruments?"

She had been quite bored. Furthermore, she enjoyed music.

If this girl could play some music, how lovely would it be?

The girl smiled with confidence and nodded. She then said firmly with that quiet voice of hers.

"Mistress, this servant knows how to play the flute, the tambourines, as well as, the grand harp."

Speranza was elated in happiness! Finally a musician!

She even clapped her hands a few fast times in extremely excited joy!

She asked full of hope for the next answer.

"Do you know how to sing as well?"

The cute puppy look Speranza held in her eyes, brimmed with stars of hope toward the good news.

The young girl smiled and spoke happily.

"This slave knows how to sing and dance, as well as, performing martial skills."

Very pleased, Speranza smiled and nodded her approval.

Once again, her eyes travelled in the direction of the next girl. Looking like she would be around eighteen.

Speaking to the new girl, in the same fashion than the others.

"And you, what is your name?"

This girl looked to be a far easterner with her tan skin, black almond shaped eyes, and black jet hair cut short under the earlobes in a straight clean cut.

Seeing her clothes, she thought, what's up with this? Can they not dress?

Each was more miserable in clothing than the last.

Her linen cloth was just a strip of about two inches thick, that passed over her breast from her neck then around her torso with an X form at the back.

Her private hid only by a tattered linen skirt. But it was so tattered, that everything that should be concealed from view could be gazed upon freely.

She held a wilder and untamed aura, but it remarkably was restrained by the time she had spent in slavery.

The girl's voice was soft and slightly higher in pitch.

"This slave greets mistress. This slave's name is Sakura. This slave's only skills are toward medicines and poisons."

Her broken speech betrayed the fact that she had not learned the language of the region entirely.

"This slave is to taste any meal and drink the mistress will take once on the new continent, in case someone would wish to poison the mistress."

''Before that, this slave is to teach the mistress with the proper care of her newly pregnant body."

Her resolute crystal burning gaze that seemed untamable, while she still feared her masters, she showed that she would not disobey them.

Because the masters could kill her at any given time would they ever feel that was their next whim?

Speranza looked at her. "Well I appreciate it, but instead of you, how about we get a testing bird for poison or use any other small animal?"

She stared at the girl that did not seem to fear death!
