The Mayoubhoughergoise Family (Friesha's note 23)

Everything in the room looked so fancy and grand. From the floors to the curtains, up to the ceiling, it was like every little girl's dream room. I felt quite embarrassed to be in such a well designed place. I looked outside and saw that it was already night time. I stood up and noticed my change of clothes. I was wearing a pink girly dress designed with red ribbons and white laces. I suddenly came to shock as I noticed my ears were as exposed as can be.

"Oh, no... Where'd my clothes go?"

Just then, a few knocks was heard from that huge door along with a gentle princessy voice, "Oh dear me. Could she still be sleeping until now?" followed by a deep manly voice, "it's only been a few hours..."

Without warning my stomach gave a loud noise, "Ah, yeah. I haven't had anything to eat since this morning."

Suddenly the huge door slammed open along with, "Oh! Oh! She's awake! Sebastiaaaaaan!" There she was with her trusty Sebastian and two more gorgeous looking maids.

"Yes, milady!"

"Prepare food right now!"

"With great haste, I shall fulfill any tasks given to-"

"Yes, yes, now go on! And don't forget to have it here instead! The dining table is oh so out of class as of now. I can't believe they haven't changed the furniture this week. Oh dear heavens!"

With that, Sebastian left as fast as he could. Milla then entered the room with her maids and slammed it tight. She then patted her new looking bright yellow colored dress with golden patterns and ribbons. She spun elegantly as she pranced towards me with her usual high class demeanor as her maids trailed alongside her.

"Now then miss Fifirisha, are you enjoying your new clothes?" she then gave me the brightest smile she had ever given as if not wanting a negative response. "These are made by expert tailors designed by expert designers using the highest quality of silk and jewelry." She then took out a marvelously made fan and covered her mouth, "handpicked by yours truly, of course. Ohohoho! Ah! Bravo to I! Bravooo!!"

Immediately after, the two maids next to her applauded in grace.

"Yes miss Millavuenoghatthendillia!"

"Truly no one else in this world is more gorgeous than you!"

"So miss Fifirisha, huh, miss Fifirisha?" she then stared at me. "Why are you covering your ears?"

I can't believe she didn't know. My ears were the only distinctions I had as a mage, which is in danger of being revealed in front of two normal humans. I failed to notice my cheeks blushing at that time.

"Hmmm, Oh! Oh oh oh! Could it be your mage ears?" Milla just giggled after I nodded quietly completely defenseless. "Oh, oh! How tragic do you feel so? That is a matter less to be taken notice of."

"Heh? What do you mean?" I was quite confused by her statement. Then the two maids spoke.

"Ah that. No need to worry miss Fifirisha we won't tell anyone."

"Indeed, miss Millavuenoghatthendillia's friend is also a friend to us."

Milla then said, "Truly nothing to worry about. If by any chance these two betray me, I'll have them executed. Ohohoho!"

For some reason, I felt myself extremely light. Hearing those words were completely different. I did remember my mother told me not to judge all of humanity, in which I was slowly doing so. However, I was still not obliged to be friends with them for a human's heart was said to be made to have plenty of faces. Just then, one maid spoke.

"But miss Millavuenoghatthendillia, your siblings doesn't know about her. Especially sir Leovhanduchiarrano, he's afraid of mages, remember?"

Milla thought long for herself, "Ooooh! Oh! What conflict! Ah, what the shame for me to forget about my darling siblings. Which means we truly have a problem about your mage ears. Ah! My head, painkillers please..."

I quite liked the new dress I wore but it doesn't suit me, "Sorry but I need my old clothes back. Those were embedded with magic items to protect me in the slightest way you see."

"Oh, those are still being washed as of now. No need to worry," Milla gave me a warm smile. One which I never knew I could gain from someone else besides my mother. I felt, quite relieved and happy as I slowly let go of my reddening ears, revealing to them it's complete deer-like form.

However, I immediately sensed someone walking the hallway outside this room. Whoever this could be, he/she has quite the realea. Then, a few loud knocks sounded past the gigantic wooden door along with a voice.

"Millavuenoghatthendillia! Open the door?!" it was the sound of a teenage man. "The whole family wants to see you. Hurry!"

"Ah!! Brother Xandelphinuaronnie!! Him of all! Oh oh, what terribleness!! What bad luck!!" Milla then grabbed hold on my arms. "Hide under the bed..."

"No miss Millavuenoghatthendillia, he would still know," one of the maids said as the other randomly took out a huge wide brimmed hat from the closet and placed it on my head. The hat barely managed to hide my ears but was quite enough. Immediately a few seconds later, the door opened, revealing to me the person behind it.

"Millavuenoghatthendillia, hurry now towards the dining hall," the man stood in a noble demeanor. About twice (or more) as tall as my height, he looked to be about twenty years of age or more. Unlike Milla, he had black hair. His fierce gray eyes beyond those glasses were focused and serious as if to read anything about you. His face was quite handsome but the serious look on his face made it less charming. His physique was obviously trained behind those well designed clothing.

"I have also told Sebastian to not take food up here. So if you want your new found friend to eat, have her with us," he looked at me for a while before asking. "So your Fifirisha right? I apologize for the trouble my sister has caused. She just befriends anyone she sees but none were brave enough to step forth inside our gates."

"A-ahh! Hahaha! I see," all I could do was go with the flow as of now.

"Please do eat with us. We also want to express our gratitude for saving Millavuenoghatthendillia from those bandits," he insisted on inviting me which left me with no other choice but to do so. With that, a pouting Milla and a silent me sluggishly went to the dining room.

As I entered, there were already a total of five people on the dining table, all dressed in fine elegant clothing! There were only two females and three males, two of these had something to do with the attempted murder of their own family member.

The moment I got closer, everyone's gaze were all fixated towards me. I then remembered the courtesy gesture Milla did on our first encounter, therefore I did the same. I held my dress on both sides, crossed my legs, and bowed in respect.

"F-f-friesha... is my name. I am very happy to have met you all," annoying as it was, I endured the embarrassment.

"Uhh, just some random street girl in an exquisite dress," one lady with the curly blonde and huge jewelries. I was already pissed off more than you were.

"Let us just be grateful she didn't bring home a boy or else..." one man with blonde hair and quite the height (probably the oldest) said as calmly as ever.

"Now now, let us not put our lady guest to shame now, shall we?" Another black hair male with a goatee spoke as he stared and winked at me, giving off a creepy vibe.

The other female sibling with scarlet hair just stared at me for a long time before merely looking away.

Which meant the final person, the one at the end of the table, the huge person with blonde hair, was Milla's father and attempted murderer. Without noticing I was staring at him for a while, Milla poked me on the side awakening my senses back to reality.

"Miss Fifirisha, what is the matter?" her usual hummingbird voice was somehow soothing.

"Ah, nothing," I then went and sat next to Milla after she sat down first. With Milla on my right side and nothing on my left but the empty seat facing the Duke, I concluded it to be that the duke's wife's seat. In front of me was the handsome Xandel so it was quite the comfortable seat.

Just then, Sebastian and some servants, all in gorgeous looking outfits, came bringing the food one by one and placed them neatly on the long table. After everything was placed accordingly, the trays were opened one by one releasing a mixture of different aromas in the air as some of it wafted towards me. I looked at all the marvelous looking food and made sure not to drool or any immoral acts in front of this family.

However, surprisingly, the delicious food in front of me went flying up the air as the Duke tossed the table in great anger.

"Didn't I say no repitition of food in a week?! You insolent cooks you are!!" immediately the Duke, as well as his three children; the oldest, the curly blonde woman, and the goatee creep, stood up and left. Next to leave was the scarlet haired woman after giving a huge sigh. What's left on the table were me, Milla, and the handsome Xandel, in which he too stood up and left after reminding the servants to clean up the mess.

"This is why the dining table is so out of class..." I heard Milla whispered to herself.
