Chapter 3
Azure slowly blinked open her eyes, feeling her neck cramping from being in such an uncomfortable position in front of the door.
She had fallen asleep while crying, and brought her hands to her face to rub the tiredness from her puffy, red eyes.
She didn't like sleeping in clothes because they made her feel icky and uncomfortable. She preferred sleeping in her underwear instead.
She felt disgusting and itchy and immediately stripped and went to take a shower before getting ready to find the dining hall.
She wore a simple top with embroidered lace and tied her hair up with a black bow
Azure Grey
Just in time. It's almost 8 35. I should hurry and find the dining room.
Azure Grey
*walking out of the room and into the hall*
Azure Grey
(Why would Zen be so mean to me after being so nice?)
Azure Grey
(Did I do something wrong, or was he playing with my emotions. I had to have messed up, like I always do.)
Azure Grey
(I just have to make sure he won't whip me as badly. I should stay on everyone's good side here, if I want to survive.)
Azure Grey
(I hate being so weak, but I have no real power to exert myself. After all, the weak are always oppressed.... but now is not the time to go down that line of thinking.)
Azure Grey
(I must persevere through challenges! I will survive whatever is coming, and I will do everything within my power to get out of this situation!)
Azure was so lost in her determined thoughts that she didn't see the individual in front of her.
She bumped into the man, hard.
She fell down to the ground, and for a second, she had thought she hit a wall.
She slowly raised her eyes to the person standing in front of her.
Azure Grey
Oh! I- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you...
Azure Grey
I should get going now...
Azure Grey
*she went to walk past him, but stopped*
Azure Grey
Um... sorry to be a bother, but do you know where the dining room is?
Rem Alexander
*Grabs her hand*
Azure Grey
sir? (his hand is so cold...)
Rem Alexander
*mumbles* Your name....
Rem Alexander
What's your name?
Azure Grey
(why is he asking. I mean, it is a perfectly normal question but...)
Azure Grey
( what if hes asking to complain about me for bumping into him. I would be punished for making such a stupid mistake.)
Azure Grey
(It wouldn't hurt to lie to him about my name...would it?)
Azure Grey
(its around 8 45, I think. The people I'm supposed to meet are probably already in the dining room already... right?)
Rem Alexander
Your name, my lady.
Azure Grey
(best to lie. Just to be safe. even if he is important, I can just say it was a nickname.)
Azure Grey
Can you let my hand go now, sir?
Rem Alexander
Are you sure?
Rem Alexander
Are you absolutely certain that your name is Rae?
Azure Grey
(did I do something ro tip him off?)
Azure Grey
That's my name.
Rem Alexander
*chuckles* Alright then.
Rem Alexander
You said you were looking for the dining hall, right?
Rem Alexander
Turn right in the next corridor. Two lefts down, take the second right. Then turn right from there again.
Rem Alexander
*turns away* Good luck~
Azure Grey
*going to dining hall* Why would I need luck? He wouldn't know who I am. This place is so big, so he could just be part of staff or something.
Azure Grey
no, he couldn't be too important, could he?
Azure Grey
(It's so large)
Before Azure could push the doors to the dining room, they opened on their own.
startled, Azure took as step back.
She steeled herself, gathering her courage to go inside. She couldn't afford to upset her owner, or it may not end well for her.
The dining hall looked grand, and more like a sitting room than anything.
But that isn't what she wondered about.
instead, she was horrified by the sight in front of her.
Azure Grey
What did you do!?
He let the girl he was drinking from drop to the floor.
Azure Grey
*stepping back*
Zenith Alexander
You're late, little bird.
Rem Alexander
ahh... you're here...
Rem Alexander
Hello, little liar~
Rem Alexander
Welcome to the party
Rem Alexander
Sorry for the late introduction, I'm Rem Alexander.
Rem Alexander
Nice to officially meet you, little liar ♡
