The Pawns

"Ma'am Heventue we're here" Said one of the service maids

I open my eyes pulling the blanket off my body "Oh I guess we are su" I let out a yawn and straightened my posture "What's gonna be waiting for me Karen su?" Among the ten servants I find myself closest with Karen, once I were close with all of them but that felt different after a few years.

"A change of clothes, lunch with your usual favorite, household lessons, a meeting regarding the wedding and a talk with your dad" Karen said in a chronological order, though when it came to the later parts of the list she frowns.

This schedule again, it just never changes "Okay then su" I reacted to it in a monotonous tone.

The carriage arrives to the mansion and guards pulled the gates opened for it to enter.

The maids pull open the door and escorted me to the house, we arrived to my bedroom where all the maids but Karen wait outside, Karen comes with me to change my clothes.

She lets out a sigh "Cherry dear, you've got to let them do this, you know its part of their jobs" She said as she puts the dress on me

"I know but its just, they're not like you it just feels different, like they don't like me su" I do travel away from home a lot and give them a lot of burdens.

Karen shook her head, though she may have expected this as well, regardless she refuses to agree with her and give the rest a chance "Of course thats not true we all adore you and we know that we'll turn you to a great wife"

In this day and age, women were nothing more than pushovers and helpers in their houses and to make their husbands not feel lonely or for the higher classes they may be used to preserve their power, which is why at such a young age even noble children with this response. .

I smile at her thankful for always being there to comfort me and to make me happy "I see, well thank you su"

. . Is very normal, to become good at the only few things given to you, to live with a thought the child Cherry Heventue is mentally trained at the earliest possible times to benefit her family.

"Hey Karen can I ask a question su?" The house is uncomfortable to be in again.

Karen smiles and lightly chuckles "You're gonna ask when you'll be able to visit you're Aunt Kara again aren't you?" She said as she combed my hair spanning from my head to my shoulders

I'd lightly laugh, "Yes that was what I was gonna ask, you know me well su" The enclave is always a fun place, minus the grumpy people.

"After this day, another carriage will wait for you" Karen pulls back a strand of hair behind my ear and ties up the stand with a bunny hairpin "You're all set" She said as she stood up smiling

I look at myself at the mirror, breathing in as much as I can because the dress were tight "Thanks Karen su" I sigh holding my hand up "Please take me to lunch su"

She took my hand "Of course Ma'am" She opened the door and walked me to the tables.

As we arrived a figure smaller than me ran up to me for a hug "Big sis!"

I hugged back and smiled "Hello Blueberry, how are you doing su?" These times were probably the only ones I appreciated here at home, and well another but not as much
