Before the young woman could lay her hand on that little girl cheeks, the girl answered with slow voice but still can be heard.

"I'm sorry mom, I'm too focus doing a laundry that you told me to do." Said Luna,trying to make her words convince.

A young woman looked at Luna with fierce face before reply it with thorn words.

"That's your job as a slave here,don't ever think that the food and water,also the comfortable room I gave you are for free.Remember that!" Said young woman who have been called as a mother with arrogant and hateful face.
