“I don’t know how long it’s been since the guest arrived.”
The clink of setting down the teacup rang pleasantly through the narrow, cozy house. Mayana watched the old woman moving about restlessly and then spoke.
“Shall I do it?”
“No, it’s alright. You are a guest, so just sit down. There’s nothing to worry about.”
The old woman was blind. Nevertheless, she managed to pour the tea into the teapot and place the teacup exactly where one could reach it, remarkably smoothly and adeptly.
The rising steam of the sweet tea relaxed Mayana’s entire body after a long day of hard work. The inside of her cheek stung where she’d been slapped by Lady Provost, but the tea was so good that she didn’t care about such things.
“By the way, a young lady with nowhere to go; are you a traveler? Or is it something else……”
Mayana sneakily looked down at her shabby appearance. Having been chased away wearing only the clothes she had worked in, she looked like a runaway or a dismissed maid to anyone who saw her. However, the old woman didn’t know this. Whether that was fortunate or unfortunate, Mayana couldn’t tell.
“Actually……”
After hesitating, Mayana answered honestly.
“I was a maid at the nearby Provost Manor. Or rather, I used to be. Actually, my lady has driven me away. So, I have nowhere to go.”
“Oh dear……”
The old woman clucked her tongue in worry and then sipped her tea. Chels lay obediently at her feet, blinking sleepily.
“I also worked in a noble family when I was young. There were good people, but there were also many who were not.”
“Really? It was my first time, but……”
The old woman’s wrinkled hand gently patted Mayana’s hand.
“But don’t worry today. The house is old but it doesn’t leak. My granddaughter’s room is empty. You can sleep there.”
Mayana held the old woman’s hand tightly, letting out a sigh of relief filled with joy.
“Thank you, grandmother. You are so kind.”
“You’re welcome. You were in trouble, and Chels brought you here. He’s a clever boy.”
Seemingly understanding that they were talking about him, Chels, who had been lying down, wagged his tail and nuzzled both women’s knees alternately. Only then did Mayana pick up Chels and hug him, letting out a comfortable laugh.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a dog.”
“Do you like them?”
“Yes! A long time ago, I used to have quite a few……”
Her voice trailing off, Mayana’s mouth drooped. She was glad she didn’t have to show her darkening expression.
In her previous life, she had raised dogs from a very young age. Each time an old pet passed away, her family couldn’t hide their sadness and emptiness.
On the day Mayana had to admit that her previous self had died, she had hidden behind the village well and cried for an hour. Not only missing her parents, but the dogs and cats she had raised, made her unbelievably sad and resentful.
The old woman reached out towards the empty air and said,
“Young lady, are you alright?”
Mayana lifted her head like a startled person and then smiled, gently taking the old woman’s hand and placing it on her knee.
“Yes, grandmother. I’m fine. Oh, I realized I’ve been indebted to you and haven’t even asked your name.”
A shy smile like a girl’s surfaced on the old woman’s face.
“It’s not much of a favor. My name is Celine. What’s your name?”
“My name is Mayana.”
“Mayana, that’s a lovely name. It has a cute and elegant charm.”
At that moment, the house was lit by lightning, and the sound of rain pounding the window followed. It was a thunderstorm.
“It’s going to rain all night.”
Celine turned her head towards the unseen window and spoke. Her unique way of speaking seemed to be a habit. Mayana kissed Chels’ round head, who was nestled in her lap, and set him down on the couch.
“I’ll take care of the teacups, grandmother.”
“Oh my, never mind. I can do it.”
“No, thank you for treating me kindly, otherwise I would have become a soaked rat in the rain. So please let me help you this much.”
“You have a kind heart. Even if I had only seen your face, I would have wanted you to be my granddaughter.”
Mayana smiled knowingly, even though she knew Celin wouldn’t see it.
Holding a tray with a teapot and cups, she went into the kitchen and was surprised once again by the shelves and sink. It was so clean that it was unbelievable that Celin was taking care of the house alone.
It was unknown when Celin became unable to see in front of her, but there was no doubt that she was an extremely neat and careful person. Still, she was not picky, and she was a very lovely person….
‘She said she had a granddaughter. Did she leave the house by getting married? Was it not possible to take her grandmother with her….’
Mayana stiffly soaked the dishcloth, cleaned the cups and teapot, and turned around. She found a place to stay tonight, but she had to think about what to do from tomorrow.
It would undoubtedly be difficult to find employment in the nearby noble houses. Because Lady Pobek is sure to spread malicious rumors. Even if not, she was sick and tired of being a maid.
