Chapter 6: sparrow

Nightfall Aira has been invited to have a dinner with the Duke. "Sit here besides me Aira." Harlen said. Aira sat at the furthest seats Harlen and his father just look at her after she sat the duchess entered at the room. "Woah!! WHO'S THIS NEW FACE!!!" as seh said with an excitement tone.

"It's my guest my dear mother." as Harlen said, the duchess run towards Aira and hug her the duke and Harlen look troubled. "Honey! can we adopt her!?." as the duchess said to the duke.

[W-wait! I will not be recruited as a combat maid but I will be adopted instead?!!....This doesn;t make sense at all!.]

"Dear Mother my guest seems to be troubled!, and about adopting her? it doesn't make sense at all!!" as Harlen said.

[Y-yeah!! it's doesn't make sense!! although I will die by suffocating from these 2 mountain size chest!!..]

"D-Dear mother let her go or she will die!! " Harlen said after slamming the table, " P-Penlope I know that you're excited but it would be rude for our guest." as the duke said,

Harlen stood up and ran towards her mother she's trying to separate Aira from her Mother's hug Aira looks about to die from suffocation. The duke also help her daughter for releasing her wife to Aira but they can't shake Penlope.

"I-I C-A-N-'T B-R-E-A-T-H-!-!" as she said, After the duchess heard what Aira said the duchess released her from death...She also noticed that the dress Aira's wearing is one of Harlen's.

"Oh my! I'm sorry about that! I just get excited whenever I saw a cute girl and I start to think she is my daughter...But why are you wearing my daughter's dress?" as the duchess said.

[Please think about it, you may accuse for being a kidnapper!]

"Ah yes! Harlen gave it to me since I don't have any clothes" as she said. [ although they force me to wear this...It's so humiliating!]

"Ahem!...can we eat now?" as the duke said, " Oh! right I totally forgot about the dinner since a cute little angel in front of me..." as the duchess said.

the duchess clapped her hands and the Head maid entered while the other maids following her with a plates full of variety foods they put the foods at the tables one by one and leave after they do their work.

[as expected to the duke's house...more like castle...After this I need to escape or I can't adventure or worse case scenario I'll adopted!.]

after the maids serve their foods the food taster entered and test the food, Aira looked at the food taster with curious eyes. The duchess looked at her with admiration.

[SO CUTE!!!] "Don't worry about it, they're just tasting our food before we eat it, it may be a poisoned after all." as the duchess said with smile.

Aira shocked by duchess words. [Oh so that's what they are doing...Come to think of it from my previous life we don't something like that.]

after the food taster do their work they bow and left Aira and the duke's family began to eat.

"Say, Father where will Aira slept?" Harlen asked, "Ahh! Oh right she can use the guest room." as the duke said.

"Can't she just slept with me?" Harlen said, after Harlen said Aira remember what happened to the bath and it make her nervous to what will the duke's answer.

"Yes that would be grea-" as duke said. "Wait! I'll be ok with the guest room!" as Aira interrupted the duke's word.

"Well if you are okay with it then it's fine." as the duke said.

Aira click her tongue and the duke's surprised. "Did you just click your tongue?" as the duke said with despair.

"May be it's just your imagination?" as Harlen said and smiled. "How about you join me? your name is Aira?, Yes?." as the duchess said.

[this conversation is dangerous!! I need to change the topic quickly!! or my virginity will lose!!.]

"H-how about the food? does it good?" as Aira said with nervous smile. "Yes! it's always good..Why'd you asked?" as the duchess said.

"a-ahhh, It's nothing really..." as Aira said with nervous voice. After they done eating Aira grab the head maid and ran.

"Oh my! I wonder why she's such in a hurry." as the duchess asked herself. "Oh well! I will just sneak and go to her bed.." as the duchess said with dark grin.

for somehow the head maid doesn't know the reason why she's being dragged away...

[Should I sneaked to her bed?... it should be alright right?... I will just tease her a little...] *Harlen thoughts*

[Just a little hug wont hurt right?...It's that bad right?] "Duchess thoughts"

For some reason the duke felt a cold chill from his body. "I think something might bad happen..." as the duke said with uncomfortable voice.

While Aira grabbing the head maids arm she stopped running and asked her to lead the way to the guest room, Aira felt an uncomfortable feeling and sneeze for no reason. "Did I catch a cold?" as she asked to herself.

The head maid show the way to the guest room and left her after that. "Oh so this is the guest room, look like the size is the same as my previous apartment." as she said.

after a while Aira open the window and tried to escape. "W-What? this height!?..Where am I? 5th floor?...if I Evaluate it from feet it'll be....60ft?!!?!? how the faq tall is this house! I mean castle!??" as she blurted.

"Oh!..may be it'll work!" as she said. She knotted the bed sheet edge at her both feet and she also knotted it to her both arms, she stood up at the windows balcony and as if she's ready to jump.

[This is only the solution! I can't go to the front gate or climb the fence there's so many servants who's patrolling outisde!... this is only matter of life and death! no matter how skilled I was I can't pass them all!.]

before she jumps the door opened and Aira turned around she saw Harlen and the duchess.

"Good news! You've been adopted Aira!" as the duchess said...
