Why must I do this? I asked myself internally. "Well, don't you wanna go home to your boyfriend and your parent?" Scarlet asked as I smartly kept my mouth shut this time. For the chance to go back and see my parents, my fiance and my friends I will momentarily keep my mouth shut.
As I was saying before the Visocunt had given me to his daughter Lily Anne Rose. Her daughter is a little devil in the making. She was the worst. She made me move her tea sets to the dining room but then made me move them back to the tea room. She then asked me to make her more hot tea but proceeded to splash it all over me. So now I have a big fat blister on my shoulder? "Ouch!" I screamed as I lightly tapped my shoulder. There is no aloe vera here. Usually, when I have a blister I would apply aloe vera but there is none here. I would also take medicine but without it, I can only suffer in silence.
The fact that I have to go and deal with the little miss tomorrow is making me want to kill myself. Suddenly, there came a knock on the door. "Come in," I shouted as the head maid walked in. I immediately sat straight up and said "Miss Nolan, how can I help you?". "Here," she mumbled whilst placing a bottle on my bedside table. "This should help remove the swelling and blisters," she explained as I picked it up and opened the bottle to smell it.
The strong smell of herbs immediately hit my nose. Closing the bottle I thanked her. "Don't mind the young miss. She is a little bit spoiled by her father as her birth mother is dead. Although the new madam wasn't mean to her yet she didn't care for her. Master can only spoil her more so that she will never be able to feel the pain of not having a mother," Miss Nolan explained whilst sitting down on my bed.
"I'm an orphan too. But just because she doesn't have a mother it doesn't give her the right to treat me like this," I muttered unwillingly. "How can you compare to her?" Miss Nolan asked, "You are just a nobody yet she is the daughter of Viscount Rose. She's an aristocrat. You will never be able to change this fact,". She ain't wrong. For people in this era to think things like this. Perhaps I'm still using attitudes from a 21st-century woman.
Miss Nolan must have noticed my unwillingness however she didn't say anything apart from telling me to get some rest and that I was expected to wake up at 6 am. That's so bloody early. I don't think I will be able to wake up on time, after all, I'm a night owl, not a morning person. I don't think I will get used to being someone's servant after being one of the best neurologists in the country. I had just finished my PhD yet I was sent here.
"Scarlet, what's the storyline that I have to follow? " I thought addressing her. "Well, nothing for now until you're 16. You will be helping at the banquet held at the Viscount's house when you will meet your adoptive parents. You end up saving Baroness Stylevanna and she will ask for you to be her adoptive daughter as a thank you. They treat you quite well. After a few months, you will meet Damian Alexander Ellis. You must make sure he falls head over heels for you before you're allowed to go home," she explained as I patiently listened.
"How would I know when he loves me?" I asked "Well... when this love radar reaches 100% then you have succeeded and you can return home," she muttered whilst showing me an hour glass item. It wasn't unlocked as I haven't met the dude yet.
"So you mean I still have to stay here for 5 more years until I can live the life of a young miss and eventually go home?" I asked angrily. I do not want to stay here any longer than needed. "Yes," Scarlet replied. Omg. UHhh. I suppose I can only grit my teeth and deal with it. This is so not fair. I want to live an easy life but it seems I can't.
