ALIZA 05

The maids squealed as they whisper unto each other.

"Did you see him?!" one of the maids excitedly said.

"Yes! Gosh Sir Dionne looks so hot and handsome!" one maid said and squealed.

"For me it's Sir Tyronne! Just look at his poker face and tanned skin, he looks so much hotter!"

"But doesn't Sir Yvo, looks sooo cute?!"

"I know! One time he asked for a cookie! He's so cute! Especially his dimples! I can't...!!"

"Sir Yvo is not my type, I prefer Sir Hyronn. He just looks so manly and looks like a guy that could take care of y---"

The maids immediately went back to their tasks as soon as the door opened, revealing Miss Flora, the maid incharge or the head maid.

Aliza shook her head while slightly chuckling as she watch them trying to busy themselves. Miss Flora stood just near the door way and observed the room as her eyes roamed. Her gaze went upon mine and I slightly smiled and nod my head. She nod her head in return and went to inspect the other room, which is connected at the current room they're in.

Aliza continued wiping the newly washed dishes and her mind wandered to the things the other maids talked about. The maids looked upon the Knights with heart eyes and Aliza can't help but chuckle at them. It was like what she read in the fictional story books, they often make the Knights a main character and maybe that resulted for them to fantasize or admire them. Well, excluding the fact that being a Knight is a very famous and prestige role.

However, her mother used to tell her a very cliché line 'Find true love and you'll find true happiness' it was a common saying but it is meaningful and a fact.

Aliza began to wonder, she knows one day, her identity will be revealed. When that time comes, will she still be able to marry? Won't people dislike her? Aliza began thinking deeply.

Should she earn to support herself from now on?

Aliza shook her head, 'let's focus first at the present situation' she thought and continued wiping the dishes with more enthusiasm.

Few hours later....

"Aliza come here!" the group of maids called her while giggling. She looked at them in confusion but she did as told.

"Is something wrong?" she asked as they looked at her with eagerness and a smile with somewhat an underlying meaning.

The maids looked at each other and looked at Aliza. Aliza on the other hand was confused and don't have any idea what they're plotting.

"It's your turn!" they squealed.

"My turn...?"

"Yes! Every maid take turns in serving the snacks for the knights in the training ground and now it's your turn!" one of the maid, Kara explained.

"You must also experience the moment of bliss..." Mia, one the maids said as she imagined the glistening manly bodies of the knights in her head.

"Okay...?" Aliza said confused at their unusual recations.

The maids looked at each other.

"Aren't you excited?" they simultaneously said.

"Excited for?" Aliza asked, she really does not understand what they are trying to say.

"Gosh, I did not know you are too normal, it makes us look so rotten." Mia said as she palmed her forehead. Aliza looked at her in awe, Mia is the cutest girl she ever met and she can't help chuckling at her expressions.

"Anyways, you'll be delivering the snacks along with Kara, Mia and Millene. Also, the other servers."

Aliza nodded.

......................

Aliza held the tray full of snacks, along with the three other maids and the five servers. It was Aliza's first time going to the training ground and she felt a bit excited seeing another area of the castle.

It took them few minutes before reaching the training grounds. As they entered, Aliza was greeted with the sound of swords clashing and a very spacious ground. There was mannequins, different kind of weapons everywhere, horses being ridden, and on the other side lies their barracks which was a large three story building, and around the ground were training buildings. It was an amazing sight for Aliza.

Mia nudged Aliza "Amazing right?" she whispered and Aliza nodded.

"I was too when I first came here, anyways we have to keep going."

They went towards the men practicing and the men immediately stopped as soon as they saw the snacks. Aliza and the maids entered the Barracks and placed the snacks on the table. The first floor is where they eat, hang out, mostly drink and where they gather during announcement. While the second and third floor is where their rooms lies.

As if on cue, the men practicing before came rushing in and as if hungry animals, they rushed upon the food. Aliza was a bit startled so she backed away from the crowd.

"Sorry Miss, quite messy right?" a man said and laughed. Aliza turned to the person, she was able to glance at man's clothes. He wore a Knight outfit, so Aliza concluded that the guys must be one of the Knights, so she put her head in a bow in a split second.

"Not at all Sir." Aliza addressed leaving out his name.

"It's Sir Dionne, you must be a new maid." he said with a smile.

"Indeed this servant is." Aliza politely said.

"I see, please take care of us."

Aliza didn't respond and continued lowering her head. Her mother said it wasn't polite to look at people with higher ranks, especially that Aliza is now playing her role as a maid. However, her encounter with the King is different, it was an act of bravery, not impoliteness. Futhermore, she is a princess when she is in his presence.

"Woi! Dionne! What are you doing with the Miss?!" A voice erupted and Aliza slightly looked up to look at the person, she saw he was wearing the same outfit, which means he is also a knight.

"I'm sorry Miss, did this dumb lemon upset you?" Hyronn one of the Knights asked and Aliza was a bit surprised at how he addressed his own co Knight.

Hyronn grabbed Dionne's ear and twisted it making Dionne scream in pain.

"Ah! Ouch!! Commander!! I didn't! Just what do you think of me?!" Dionne resisted.

"No Sir! I..I meant to say...Sir Dione did not do anything to upset me." Aliza immediately explained in panic.

"Is that so..." he let go of Dionne's ear and inspected Aliza "A new maid perhaps?" he asked.

"Indeed this servant is Sir."

"Miss, you'll end up having a stiff neck, you shouldn't bow too much really. I mean, you really don't even need to bow anyways, we don't really care about that here." Dionne said as he rubbed his red ears.

Aliza blinked and slowly raised her head.

Dionne was caught up, he unconsciously stared at Aliza's appearance. He had never seen such a beautiful face before, his blue eyes widened.

"You dumb lemon!! Stop staring!!" Hyronn slapped his head snapping Dionne from his day dreaming. Dionne let out a pained expression and rubbed his head, ruffling his blonde hair in the process.

Aliza can't help but chuckle at how casual they act towards each other. Although she never expected that Knights acted like these in real life, she didn't feel as if they're being impolite to each other.

Once again Dionne couldn't help but gulped at the stunning appearance of Aliza chuckling. On the other hand, Hyronn cleared his throat to snap Dionne from his thoughts.

"Thank you Miss for delivering our snacks for today, we appreciate it." Hyronn sincerely thanked.

"Not at all Sir, it is our duty." Aliza answered.

"It is Sir Hyronn by the way, it is nice meeting you. Then..." Aliza bowed and Hyronn grabbed Dionne away as he left Aliza.

"I didn't even get to ask her name!" Aliza heard Dionne whined making her shook her head with a smile.

They were so free and it looked like they're having fun.

"Aliza? We should go now" Aliza turned to Mia and she nodded. They exited the Barracks and left the training grounds.
