Mother: “It’s your daughter I want child support”

“Father”: “Why should I believe the words of a witch.”

Mother: “What did you say?!”

“Father”: “I refuse. Instead I will buy this one.”

Mother: “What are you trying to say?!”

“Father”: “I’ll up the interest.”

Mother: *smiles evilly. You have to give me 20,000 gold

“Father”: “Kelson, *yes sir. 20,000 gold. Bring a piece of paper I’ll finish this contract”

Kelson: “Mrs. Kazan, what is your name?”

What does Kazan mean?

Kelson: “Kazan means having no name what did your mother call you?”

My mother was a difficult woman to fix. She would dress in gorgeous clothes and did business with men. When the guests came over, she would always lock me in a wooden box. *cries

Mother: Stop crying and get inside if you don’t want to get hurt again!!

Those whole days I would spend listening to the sound of my mother inside of a tight box. I was about three or four years old when I started to remember my past life. I saw bright streetlights, clear skies, and glittering windows. Cute puppies, delicious desserts, and loved ones.The memories of a 23 year old college student, Seo Young, made my life bearable. But the knowledge from Seo young did not help me understand the language here.

So ‘Kazan’ amplifies the name.

Me: “My mother used to call me ‘pink eyes’”

Kazan: “! The duke will definetly give you a better name.”

Me: “There what will I do when we get there?”

Kazan: “First we need to go to the mansion, then the duke will decide.”

Am I going to be working in the palace as a maid? It might be better to be a maid, at least I won’t have to worry about being hungry. I’m like a Dry-legged skewer.

Kazan: “Now, welcome to the Duke’s mansion.

Me: “Wow, it’s so pretty!”

Kazan: “Please come this way, this will be you room from now on.”

Me: “This is my room?”

Kazan: “You don’t like it?”

Me: “No I really like it, John, it’s amazing.”

Kazan: “Yes?”

Me: “John, John! It’s so great.

My mother always used to say ‘Regal sasser’ (John, Good!) when something was awesome.

Kazan: “Ahem, you better not use the word ‘regal’ from now on.

Me: “Um, is it a bad word?”

Kazan: “ It is better to use the word ‘Dylan’ instead.

*! I turned around. There was a comforting looking middle aged woman standing near me. She almost reminded me of grandma.

Annie: “My name is Annie and I will be taking care of you starting today.”

Me: “Oh hello, nice to meet you, My name is ‘pink eye’

Annie: “Oh my, the duke will give you a nicer and prettier name, now would you like to take a bath?” You have a lot of split ends in you hair, I’ll cut them off.

Me: “Umm....”

Annie: “ Please call me Annie.”

Me: “Annie what am I going to do now?”

Annie: “Well, when the duke comes back he’ll take care of it. For now, all you have to do is play and eat well.”

It’s like a dream, it’s like I became Cinderella over night. I was Seo Young, and I was also ‘pink eye’, but now I’m Estelle(means star).

Hi everyone thanks for reading this, if you like it make sure to leave a heart or a thumbs up, thanks!. This is my own take on one of my favorite manga and I really wanted to share it with you guys. Hope you like it!

Estelle, it means ‘Star.’ Why did they name me star? Well I guess I’ll use it and give it a go. After that day that he bought me for 20,000 gold, I’ve never seen my father again. If I saw the duke again, I’ll say that I can be a maid. What if I get kicked out of the house? I just though that being a maid would be good enough, but I became afraid after a few days of luxury.

Annie: “Oh my goodness, my lady, what are you doing here.”

Me: “I was watching the sunrise.”

Annie: “ You’re only wearing pajamas. It’s chilly here, you might catch a cold! Now warm up with some hot chocolate.

Since I came here, I think my stomach has doubled. She feeds me every chance she gets. I was getting used to living here too. After eating snacks, next is breakfast, then free time. I spend most of my time here to explore the mansion.

Me: “Wow! Oh wow! *looks at a golden chicken. Ah what is this?”

The rooms in the mansion have no end, and every room is all full and colorful and strange things that never fail to amuse.

Me: “I wonder what kind of room this is. Excuse me is anyone here?” *looks into the room. Is that the duke?

Is he perhaps not the duke? He looks exactly like the duke. *Touches his forehead. It’s hot! Is he sick what should I do. Should I ask the servants for help? What if they don’t help? But, I can’t leave a sick person alone. Does it hurt a lot?

Brother: “Uh...”

I stayed next to him until lunchtime. For the first time in this unfamiliar mansion. I felt like I was useful for once.

Etiquette lesson:

Annie: “Fork and knife from the outside, hold your fork with your left hand, you’re doing so well!

Well I mean I was Seo Young after all.

Me: “Miss Annie, are there any medications you take when you have a fever?”

Annie: “Medicine? Why are you not feeling well?”

Me: “No I’m just curious.”

Anne: *Looks in cupboard “This is for fever. If you’re a girl, you’ll have half of a teaspoon, and if you are a boy you will need one tablespoon.

One tablespoon for a boy.

Annie: “Then see you later at snack time.”

Me: “Yes. Hmph! Just a little bit more!” *grabs medicine. “One tablespoon for a boy. One tablespoon for a boy.”

Should I dissolve it in water so he can drink it? Uhm.. somehow.. It seems as though the medicine would taste horrible. *pours medicine in his mouth. Drink this and get better fast.

Brother: *coughing “?”

He has crimson eyes. Unforgettable beautiful ruby eyes. The duke has the same eyes as him.

Brother: *grabs my arm. “Who are you and what are you doing here. I have told everyone not to disturb me!”

Brother:

My father bought her?

Thank you everyone for reading this. I hope you liked it, I will try to update more but it is really hard updating all of my novels so I’ll try my best!

Annie: “Come to think of it, did I tell you? In this mansion my lady’s bother is also here. The duke will come back and give you a formal introduction.”

Me: “Oh, my. My brother?”

Does she mean the boy I saw yesterday?

Me: “Then is the duchess going to be there?”

Annie: “No, the duchess died when the young master was still very young.”

Me: “I see.”

What should I do, he seemed angry when I left his room. If the duke comes back and I become a maid. The young master’s harassment may begin. Then! Let’s go apologize honestly! Since it’s almost night will he be asleep?

Brother: “What are you doing in my room.”

Me: “Eeek?!”

Brother: “You want to wake everyone up? Be quiet.”

Me: “Oh I’m not...”

Brother: “Why do you keep hanging around my room? *!”

Me: “I cam to apologize for entering into your room without your permission.”

Brother: “In the future, don’t do useless things like this.”

Me: “Yes, but is your health doing better?”

Brother: “I’m fine now...”

Me: “Thank goodness.”

Brother: ... *recahes out pinches me on the cheek

Me: ?!????

Brother: “Does it hurt?”

Me: “N-no.”

Is this the start of the harassment already?

Brother: “So, my father bought you?”

Me: “Oh, yes...”

Brother: “Hmmm...” *touches my hair “Honey blond, pink eyes. Do you know what the characteristics of the Castillo family are?”

Me: ?

Brother: “Black hair and red eyes. In our heraldry, Asmodian blood is flowing. So when the blood of the Castillo is mixed, you’ll have red eyes that you usually can’t have. The core of the Asmodians are their eyes.”

Me: !!!

Then am I not a child of this house?

Brother: “Carles..”

Me: “Huh?”

Brother: “My name is Carles.”

Me: “Ah I’m Estelle.”

Brother: “What does your mother do? Let’s talk about you now.”

Me: “I prefer not to talk about it. My mother was a **********. I lived in a small room, I hardly ever left the room.”

Brother: “How small is the room?”

Me: “It was about the size of those two beds.”

Brother: “What? Could you even sleep in that house?”

Me: “I slept on the floor.”

Brother: “So what did you do while she worked?”

Me: “During that time, my mother opened a small box, she shoved me in there and I waited until she let me go. My mother locked the box from the outside so there was no way that I could get out.

Brother: “I see. Were there any other people there?”

Me: “Yes, there were! There were Matt, Allen, and Grandma...

Brother: “It’s time for you to go now. Is there anything that you like? For example...

Me: “Food, I like to eat pudding!”

Brother: “Pudding? Alright you can go now, you can comeback tomorrow.”

Me: “Yes!”

I have a secret too, secret friends, It’s a very sweet feeling to have.
