Hiring family

Abigail pov

I dragged my tired self towards my chamber. Though my body was tired due to its age, my mind was still excited.

I walked in and looked at Beth who was preparing my bed.

"Beth, tomorrow is your day off, right?" I asked as I sat down on the leather chair.

She looked at me with hesitation. 

"Yes, my lady. By any chance, do you need my services tomorrow." though she was offering, there was reluctance in her eyes.

After all, maids and servants only get one day off to spend time with their family. For the rest of the week spent her time with me 24/7. Since leaving late at night after we sleep and coming early before we wake up is not feasible, all the nobles have servants quarters but they could not bring their kids and family to live with them. They spent a large part of their life with us rather than their family.
