I am nervous. I was told by my Master to help Lord Fallacy's servants set up the ball. But...how do I socialize?! I never made friends outside of the castle before and let alone monsters! I know it's selfish of me to stay in my room but now I have an excuse because I need to put my belongings away. Hopefully most of the decorations and food would be done by then. I did run into a nice maid who belongs to Fallacy. Her name is Inked. I will need to get more information on her if I would like to get to know her. I hope tonight goes well.
I closed my journal and put it under my pillow. Now I unpack everything, putting them in closets and my dresser leaving my makeup on a table; picking up my instruments from the door and putting them in a corner then finally cleaning up everything else. Afterward I began to wonder about Alexander as I see it's a quarter to 6.
It's almost time....but Alexander..was he taken by the Serpent? Did he fall over..?
There was a knock on my door then someone speaks
"Excuse me Miss....err....well Lord Fallacy would like you to help in the ballroom as it's almost time for introductions and the ball itself."
A butler judging from his voice
"Alright! I'll be down soon!"
I hear the footsteps of the butler fade away; I look in the mirror and adjust the rim of my maid dress before opening my door to head to the ballroom. I quickly find it as soon as I head down the stairs and turn right down the hall to these humongous grand doors. The handles are made of gold while the doors are beautifully engraved with designs on the edges of the dark polished wooden frames; it's a magnificent sight to see. I slowly open the doors to see the ballroom mostly set up except for butlers rushing to put silverware on the tables near the edges so there would be enough room to dance and the maids dusting, mopping— pretty much cleaning everything to a glossy shine.
With all the hustle and bustle I was pushed to the floor while, in the process, tripping a butler who had an open wine bottle; it shattered and spilled all over my maid uniform making everyone stopped to look at what happened.
"Owww...ça fait mal..." some blood was starting to spill out from some big and small cuts making everyone panic.
"Hurry! Clean it up!"
"Get the mop!"
Everyone was in such a hurry making me confused for a bit and the butler I tripped by accident quickly scurried to help clean up the glass. It finally sunk into my head why everyone was panicking.
Blood...a human's blood...in a Vampire's castle....Fallacy will smell it...
I quickly got up and rushed out to my room. I had brought a medical kit with me just in case, now I'm so glad I did. Running into my guest room I looked for the medical kit, finding it in the bathroom I quickly opened it and started cleaning the cuts hissing in pain when the alcohol hit my torn skin. Then after wrapping it in bandages I put everything away and opened my closet; I then looked at the clock to see it's 6 pm before grabbing the dress that the Mantua Maker made just for me. Remembering the door was left open I closed it and locked it before undressing to put on the hand made dress. After doing my makeup and fixing my hair I went down the hall to get the Princess, The Mistress, and M'Lord.
Proper. Polite. Kind. Caring. Respectful. Beauty.
I am....just a servant....nothing more....nothing less...
