Somewhere in the frontier town inside the mansion lord, where many servants were busy preparing dinner for the house head, The Head Maid Irena walked toward the kitchen, her eyes swept over the bustling place.
"Nina, come here. I have something to tell you".
"Head Maid?". Nina adorably tilted her head and glanced at the other staff, curiously watching her.
"Um, excuse me".
The girl bowed her head and followed the Head Maid, while the other servants' gaze didn't leave the little girl for a second.
With a gentle creak, the door closed, and Nina was facing Irena, who waited for her in the empty hall.
"Head Maid, is there anything I could help". Nina curled the finger on her skirt, gulping the tension that built up in her chest, 'Did I make a mistake?'.
The stretched silence seemed like a rope coiled around her neck, choking her slowly.
"Nina?".
Irena's voice broke the little girl in a daze as she jolted with lowered gaze.
