1.The Palace
Flashback 10 years ago
"Lily,lily" i looked at lady Irene who was jumping on my bed angrily.
Mother stood watching her,we all knew how she threw a tantrum when she got upset.
Irene was the lady of the house, born from a royal house hold of the Collins,she was the heiress to the empire and house of Colin's.
"Lady Irene you will hurt yourself" mother whispered lowly with a bow.
"I won't! I'm the lady of the house i can do as i please,you are all my servants" she said loudly pointing at mother.
I stood up angrily.
"Sit down stupid,its not our fault that your parents are sending you away!" I yelled as mother gasped.
Irene looked at me then smiled.
"my Lady,forgive my foolish child" mother said with a bow.
Irene moved closer and sat next to me.
It's been two years since mother moved in the royal house of the Colin's,i and lady Irene always argued,even our first encounter we almost fought,the most surprising thing was,she never told on the master or lady of the house,no matter how rude i became she always came back to my room to play.
Many servants had started hating mother because every time they disrespected lady Irene they got fired immediately.
"I don't wanna go,i'm still young" she said holding my hands.
We were not friends at all.
"You are 9 years old,to me you are a big girl Irene" i said smiling.
"Call her Lady Irene,never forget lily,she's lady Irene,work on that okay? Because soon if its approved,she will be the master of the house,until she gets married and hands over the master title to her husband that's when she will resume to the lady again" mother bored us with one of her senseless speech,again.
"What do you mean married? When i grow up,i will become master of this place and never marry" Irene said proudly.
"Why? I want to be married" i said as she sighed lowly.
"Then i will marry you,i won't marry anyone because i only love you,if you want marriage then marry me,i'm rich" she said with pride as mother lifted her up then put her down on the floor,she stood still.
"My lady,its late now,how about going to sleep? No more talking about marriage okay?" Mother asked softly.
"Okay" she quickly went to me and held my shoulders.
"You are going to be my wife" she said then kissed my lips lightly.
I was about to push her away when she pulled back and ran away,i looked at mother with forming tears,that was my first kiss.
"I know,just forgive her,she's our lady okay?" Mother said while sitting next to me.
End of flash back
The next morning our lady was gone,she was sent abroad to study,10 years went by,mother died of a heart problem,i worked hard to be one of the senior servants and i succeeded,today is the day that our master of the house will return to take over the Colin's empire and household, for some reason my heart feels restless.
