mistakes of a servant

Hua watched the mother and daughter leave the pavilion, the first mistress manipulated the water that they glided to the shore easily with minimal effort. This was a rare thing to see her young miss so weak. Hua could not help but feel remorse for her young mistress. 

If her young mistress had died, she would have gladly followed, accepting the punishment for failing to return on time. It is just... How can she a mere servant ignore the next first mistress' orders? 

As a servant, she must adhere to the hierarchy in the family. 

"You have failed in being a head servant to the only daughter of the Pingui clan,"

A gasp left the lips of Hua at the words of her mother, watery eyes gazed back at the woman who is a mature version of herself and the aunts who stood behind her, with a shimmer her grandsire the grand servant Dyra appeared bringing with it fear.
