Chapter 4: A New Life
Seraphina (fl)
Your kindness has touched this girls heart, but I'm afraid there isn't much I can offer you in return Your Highness
Melissa Ravenshade
We do not ask for anything in return child
Seraphina (fl)
Forgive my impudence, Duchess, but there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Seraphina (fl)
I do not wish to take advantage of kindness nor build karma for gaining something I did not earn.
Melissa Ravenshade
(eloquent, mindful, and graceful, we mustn't let this jewel escape)
Henry (Head Butler)
(A kind-hearted lady...maybe)
Henry (Head Butler)
Forgive me your highness, but I suppose the young masters and ladies could use such company?
Edward Ravenshade
(No wonder you're my faithful aide Henry!)
Melissa Ravenshade
(If she's around those brats...)
Melissa Ravenshade
*eyes sparkling* (The gods have sent me a saviour)
Edward Ravenshade
Well, seraphina, how about we take you under our employment
Melissa Ravenshade
You see, we have 6 grandchildren out of whom 5 reside in the manor. They are all younger than 15 and could use a companion
Edward Ravenshade
but I shall warn you child they are not easy to manage
Seraphina (fl)
(I was given this chance, and maybe the reason I met them and ended up in their territory is also a play of fate)
Seraphina (fl)
(I've never been one to back down from a challenge...bring it on Ravenshades)
Seraphina (fl)
It will be my honour *smile*
Melissa Ravenshade
Alright!
Melissa Ravenshade
Come now, we must get you warm and cozy. The estate is a few hours away.
Henry (Head Butler)
We shall be reaching by sun-up
Seraphina (fl)
*looks at the sky*
Seraphina (fl)
*looks at the horses*
Seraphina (fl)
forgive me, but could I ride the horses back?
Edward Ravenshade
you know how to?
Seraphina (fl)
yes *Small nod*
Edward Ravenshade
As you wish
Seraphina (fl)
I shall be fine, duchess *smile*
Melissa Ravenshade
*sigh* All right, but do not catch a cold
Seraphina (fl)
yes ma'am (It has been more than 10 years since I last felt such warmth)
Edward Ravenshade
Let us get going now dear
Seraphina (fl)
*pets the horse*
Henry (Head Butler)
Shall we miss
Seraphina (fl)
Seraphina is quite alright Mr. Henry*hoists herself up*
Seraphina (fl)
*patting horse*
Henry (Head Butler)
(A change in the winds of fate) *smile*
Seraphina (fl)
I will forever be grateful to you, Your Highnesses *near the carriage window*
Edward Ravenshade
*small smile* We shall see you at the manor...keep up
Seraphina (fl)
*laugh* yes
Seraphina (fl)
*pulls her coat hood up, shrinking into the warm fabric since her dress is still wet*
Seraphina (fl)
(A new beginning)
Seraphina (fl)
( In this life...I'll live for myself )
And as the moon sets and the sun rises, Serphina sets off in her new life
And the Ravenshades would always be grateful that she had went along
because in the darkness of their estate a light had finally appeared
