Chapter 37: Sophia's Memories

I'm Sophia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Once upon a time, I had a long list of last names, but that was just that. Now, there is no point left.

Those old people still insist on calling me princess when they are alive, maybe they don't want to admit that everything is gone.

The kingdom that had existed for nearly two hundred years, and the family that lasted for far more than two hundred years.

Time is the fairest, and the people around me are gone one by one.

Which deity I went to, I don't know. It could be the gods of light, it could be the dragon gods, or it could be the gods of the north.

My father died in a duel with someone very early for a **. He was stabbed in the heart and bled all the time, and his face was pale and trembling. I think he is like this, not because he is a woman, but because he does not want his own honor to be challenged. Maybe he felt that restoring everything was too heavy for him.

The mother was a sentimental person, a child of the old age of the kingdom, and she had the same blood in her veins. After his father died, he has been wearing black clothes and hiding in his room to be a female celebrity. He became thinner and thinner, and then a year later, he followed his father as well. Whether the two will meet or not, I don't know. I asked them to bury my mother's corpse and my father's body together.

At this time, I realized that there was only one home left in this home. Then, this home, without my father and mother, will no longer be a home.

So, I had nothing left.

I need to support myself.

The days of innocence are over. I need to worry about tomorrow's bread, about the clothes on my body.

At that time, I was 12 years old. I was kicked out of the house, and they said they were all creditors, and it was a shame not to sell me.

All I carried with me was a small box containing last year's clothes.

First of all, the former head maid of the family took me in. She has an alcoholic husband who comes home drunk every day and starts beating his wife. But the head maid would also beat him, so they beat each other and yelled at each other. But I get the idea. During the years she served at home, she didn't actually get much salary, especially in the last few years, she worked for my family in vain, so she took me in, and her drunkard husband was not happy.

She really doesn't have much money, and when she pays the rent this month, she counts the copper plates and gives them to her landlord one by one. Then her drunkard husband asked her for the daily drink money. So she went to wash other people's clothes to make money, and washed her hands red every day and went home.

I packed my bags and left, it was a night with a lot of stars. On my feet, it was a pair of cloth shoes that she had just sewn for me the day before. It was warm and I wanted to thank her.

After walking a long way, I found an abandoned hut and spent the first night.

The next day, I started my part-time job.

Once, I had washed a bowl and broken a few pottery, and the boss settled my salary and let me go, saying that he didn't want me to harm these precious utensils again.

There are also people who wash clothes, but they have little strength and can't wash much every day. I thought the force was uneven, and I broke a few clothes.

There are also stalls in the vegetable market, but they always don't see it well and are stolen.

There was also an apprenticeship in a cake shop, but he accidentally broke the birthday cake prepared for Archduke Frankendo, so he didn't make it for long.

I've always been clumsy, but everyone took good care of me, so I'm alive until now.

Then I reached the age of 14 and Mr. Mouth found me.

He is the old son of the kingdom, but he got the title here because he donated a lot of things to the Duchy of Frankendo and made good connections.

I think he's a flexible guy.

He asked me to be a maid for him, 1 gold coin a month. I've never been paid that high! I think my wide-eyed look of surprise must have been funny, and he must have been secretly laughing at me.

He used to be a servant of my family, but now I am a maid of his.

I put on a delicate maid's outfit, put on brand new leather shoes, and stepped on the paraffin floor. The heel hits the floor with a pleasant sound.

Ah, that's a voice that hasn't been heard in a long time.

I noticed his burning eyes, but I didn't understand why.

"Miss Sophia, you are so beautiful, will you be my personal maid?"

"What is a valet maid?"

"A personal maid is, a maid who takes care of me. You can do all the other work. ”

"Is that okay?" How can you get paid and not work?

"I have no objection, and you see, I'm still single, and no one is going to interfere in this."

He asked me to go to his room at night.

In the evening, I went to his room to take care of his daily life, and he hugged me as he changed his pajamas. The eyes of those beasts, as if they were trying to eat people.

"Next, serve me well."

"W-What?"

"The valet is like that, don't be surprised." It seemed to be comforting, but the heavy panting, which squirted straight to the face, carried the smell of the evening wine, made people dizzy.

He reached out and pulled the bow behind me, and his apron fell to the floor, then the blouse......

By the time I reacted, I had only underwear left on my body.

Education at a young age played a role at this time.

"Nope." This thought flashed through his mind, and he already had ** in his mouth, hugged his lower body and squatted down.

I can't ask for that maid outfit anymore!

I turned and left his room, and quickly ran back to my room, putting on the clothes I had worn when I came, and tears flowed uncontrollably as I wore them.

I don't know, I don't know if it's a tear of humiliation, or if it's just scared.

He burst into my room with a stick, and I jumped out of the window with my luggage in my arms. I didn't feel it when I ran, and when I finally got to rest, I realized that I didn't have shoes on my feet, and I probably lost it when I ran away.

It's raining outside, so hard.

I quit my longest temporary job for this maid job. For a while, in this pouring rain, I didn't know where I was going.

I went to the mountain, which is called "The Prince's Guardian", and I heard that it was in honor of a prince at the end of Fernando's Holy Empire. I went to the mountains, made a basket with thin rattan, picked flowers in the suburbs, and went back to the city to sell them.

There was no breakfast, and there was not a single copper plate on the body.

And then, of course, there was no lunch either.

Will anyone really come and buy flowers? Even I don't believe it. People are passing by in a hurry, maybe they will have time to buy flowers on a sunny day.

The rain was still falling, and it was cold for my feet to soak in the water, and I was hungry.

A boy came up to me and looked to be about my age.

"Well, sir, do you buy flowers?"

He looked me up and down as if he had seen something strange.

It took so long for someone to stop in front of me, really hoping that he would buy this basket of flowers, but I knew that this basket might be a bit ......

"Mr. ......"

"Ahem," he pretended to be an adult, "how do you sell this flower?" ”

"This basket, 30 copper coins."

"Ahem."

This time he really coughed, is it too expensive? It's a bit shabby.

"Very, expensive? If you think it's expensive, I can make it cheaper, 25 copper coins. ”

"The ......"

He was still surprised, was it really expensive?

"Still think it's expensive? I'll be cheaper, 20 copper coins, okay...... It took me a lot of time to weave this basket......"

He looked at the basket and sighed.

You won't just walk away...... I'm so worried, I'm really hungry, and if he's still too expensive, I'll sell him 15 copper coins.

"The ......"

"Uh-huh, I see." And he agreed.

"So, sir, are you going to buy it?"

"Ahem, uh-huh, yes."

He pulled out his money bag, which was a mess, and counted 20 copper coins to me.

"What will the money be used for?"

It's weird, of course, to go shopping and eat first.

"I'll go buy brown bread." Brown bread was cheap, and he was going to buy bread crumbs, but he generously gave 20 copper coins. So happy, I handed him the basket.

"Why don't you buy a pair of shoes first?"

"Shoes...... It's still early in winter, and it's ...... And ...... "I'm so hungry, I'm starting to remember the burnt smell of the brown bread."

"Haven't you eaten in a long time?"

"Hmmm......"

"You've always been selling flowers here, right?"

Sometimes I can't find a job, so I come to sell flowers.

"Sometimes I go somewhere else."

He counted the copper coins in his purse, kept some for himself, and put the rest in my hand.

"It's money paid to talk to you."

"Ah, first, sir, but ......" I panicked, and my mind began to remember what had just passed.

He took out two more silver coins from his underwear, "I don't know if I can buy a pair of shoes for these, but at least, running barefoot on the street and letting Sister Lucy see it, she will be unhappy." ”

"No, don't!"

I only took the money I was supposed to take and fled.

Because, I don't want to trust other people's good intentions anymore!
