His Personal Maid

Desire stared at the mirror in front of her, observing her curves and how long her legs had grown since she clocked 18, two years back.

How time flies!

She smiled at the memory of her eighteenth birthday that also happened to be her first day out of the mansion ever since she was brought by the master of the house.

Every year, a new girl is brought to the mansion as a slave and gradually ranks up to a servant till she becomes a house maiden which is the highest rank ever held by a slave girl.

The slave is the lowest rank in the mansion and it's usually held by a set of girls who were brought from the southern part of their region that is plagued by poverty, diseases, and hunger.

The servant rank is usually for girls who had served the house for more than four years, they're believed to have more experience and insight on how to please the master.

While the house-maiden rank, also called the House maids is held by girls who have spent more than 7 years in the house.

Even though none of the girls living in the mansion has seen Mr Ho up close, the only thing they're familiar with is his voice, side views and really loud intimate sessions his friends have with girls brought from the Harem.

Desire picked up the love letter in front of the mirror stand and smiled at the memory of Chang, the guy who had been secretly sending her love letters after they had met on her first day out of the mansion. She'll be thrilled to see him again.

It has been six years and eleven months since Desire was brought into the house and a month to her becoming a house maiden. She longed for the outside world and would love to fulfill her dream of becoming a nurse rather than stay in the mansion and become a house Maiden.

She had always wanted to learn under the great physician and become a helper or a nurse under his service.

'From Slavery to slavery' her subconscious self reminded her.

She hissed at the sudden thought that came to her head. At least, one had a length of freedom more than the other.

She quickly put on her dress and went out of the room before the court lady came barging in and cursing at her for being too late to the kitchen.

Once when she was only five minutes late to the kitchen, she had been punished for three days by not giving her food nor water.

"Good morning, Lady Nor" she greeted the court lady's assistant who was in every way nicer than the court lady.

"My dear child, Bless you. Hope you slept well?"

"Yes, I did, and thank you for the green tea you gave me, it aided my peaceful sleep"

"No need child, I do what is expected of me as a mother to you girls" Desire smiles at her as memories of her mother come back to her.

They stopped talking immediately when the court lady entered the room and they resumed their daily chores almost immediately, out of fear for the woman.

With Desire cleaning around the kitchen and Lady Nor getting the utensils ready to serve the table while the others in the kitchen cooked the master's breakfast.

"Master has requested for his breakfast in his private suite, is it ready?" The court lady asked in a stern voice.

"f-f-few minutes is required to get everything ready, my lady" the cook answered with fear lacing her words.

"Do you mind explaining what you have been doing all day!?" She barked at the young girl.

"We were looking for the spices to add to his breakfast and it took a while before we found it, my lady"

Desire froze at that moment, she had been in charge of getting the spices at the market yesterday and she had forgotten to put it at its normal position.

The court lady turned to Desire and she knew she was going to die at that moment. Smirking wickedly, she called her name, "Desire darling, how long is it till you become a house-maiden?"
