Teachings of the castle- Part 3

One minute after Lucy's mother left the room, an elderly woman who was in her early fifties arrived at the door. It was Ruby, whom she called as Nana, the maid who had looked after Lucy since her mother had given birth to her. 

The maid was fairly plump in appearance and an inch shorter than Lucy in height, and the young vampiress didn't cross more than five feet three inches. 

"Milady," Ruby bowed her head. When her eyes fell on Lucy's cheek, she quickly came to the vampiress' side. "Are you alright?" the woman noticed the four lines that had been imprinted on Lucy's cheek. 

Lucy's eyes softened considerably on meeting Ruby's eyes. Ruby looked after Lucy as her own daughter and maybe more than her mother ever paid attention to her. "I am okay. It's just a simple slap," replied Lucy, not taking her grandmother's action nor her mother's words to her heart.
