A Friendship

Selma Payne's POV:

Julie was asked to work as a servant in a manor outside the city and obediently listen to the Evaria Family's orders.

The only reward was that the Evaria Family would allow them to reunite with their mother and son when she returned from the manor.

Even though she knew it was just a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, Julie still believed the possibility was one in ten thousand. She obediently returned to her hometown and entered a manor under the arrangements of the Evaria Family to begin her career as a servant.

During this time, she kept her mouth shut about everything she had experienced over the years because she knew that leaking any information would take away her last hope.
