Bk 2: Chapter four (15)

While they talked and made plans, Lizzy walked away to their cabin to pack their belongings. As she opened the door to the cabin, she froze. Before her, was her nether head servant. The girl bowed at Lizzy and froze in place, waiting to be let back up.

“Why are you here?” Lizzy asked, forcing herself to calm down and move towards the bed. She sat and looked right at the servant who had turned following Lizzy’s movements while still in the bowing position.

“This slave is here to ask if you need anything of us, my lady. We are always around to do your bidding.” the maid said.

“Rise; what is your name?” Lizzy asked.

“Bestow this slave a name, my lady.” she said and Lizzy paused.

“Why?”

“His lordship had given us to your ladyship, so all our old identities have been left behind.”

“Us?” Lizzy asked and right at that moment, the other four appeared in the small cabin and Lizzy immediately felt suffocated.
