Chapter 16 - WIERDO

"Nothing much just a very beautiful face" she replied with a shrugged shoulders, looking at Elisa in sudden realization.

"Wait don't tell me you didn't meet the Lord requirement too" Ema said in shock, "how is that even possible, you are even more beautiful than the Lord's favorite concubine herself" Ema continued her voice still filled with absolutely disbelief.

Elisa blushed in embarrassment hearing her words, and she said it so loudly what if others heard her, Elisa thought feeling even more embarrassed.

"Or did something happen" the girl said her hands on her chin stroking them like she was thinking about something.

"What happened in the hall tell me everything" she asked genuinely curious, cause no slave is sent to become the Lord's personal maid immediately, she is first placed as his slave first then later after evaluations before deciding to keep her as his maid cause he maids had higher access to him and could hurt him earsier than anyone else.

Elisa thought deep trying to recall exactly what happened, she could remember from her memory that, she was originally placed in the Lord's group something she got to know from the man's words, but then later taken to another group the tall lady, but the man came and they both got into an argument before the last matured looking woman came and told her to join the greys, recalling all that had happened, she told Ema everything that had happened leaving her in shock.

"What you mean! you mean Lady Isabella and Viceroy Lucas got into a fight!" she said in shock.

Elisa looked at her with a questioning gaze, "how did you.." she tried asking but was interrupted by ema.

"Ohh I knew them from your description and why did Lady Isabella change your group anyway she must have been jealous of your outstanding looks and saw you as a threat hahaha" Ema said laughing hysterically.

Elisa subconsciously started laughing with her, the air in the room were filled with joy, after a round of laugher they stopped laughing, as Ema resumed stroking her jaw lost in thought.

"But if they had such a big confrontation because of you I'm sure lady Isabella would hate you a lot for it, you have to be very careful around her" Ema said her voice filled with worry for Elisa.

Seeing the worry on her face for her, she suddenly felt very warm and cozy inside, back at her home town she barely had friends as everyone called her a wierdo for having silver hair, so finding friends had been almost impossible she only had a few acquaintances but not really friends.

No one except her mother had showed so much care or worry for her before but this girl she had just met did, feeling really touched she looked at ema with a gentle smile finally taking a good looking at Ema she realized how pretty she was.

She has soft and gentle features, bold sparking eyes, petite and delicate looking nose and a gentle curves, and a small plump lips, her wavy hair cascaded down her shoulder in loose bouncy curls, she simply had a subtle attention grabbing type of beauty.

"I will" Elisa said gently her voice really low making Ema turn to look at her.

"What happened" she asked concerned seeing her low her voice was.

"It's nothing, just that no one.. except my mother have ever showed so much care and worry for me before so seeing how worried you were for me, I just suddenly felt a bit emotional" Elisa said sincerely sniffing a bit.

Hearing those words Ema suddenly felt a pang in her chest, 'no one ever' Ema thought a bit surprised not knowing how to feel, although she hadn't been treated well by her step mother, she had friends and neighbors who cared about her and life wasn't that bad for her but looking at the girl in front of her she didn't even know what to say.

"Why.." a gasp left her lips.

"They all called me wierd for having silver hair, so I never really had any friends" Elisa said looking down at her hand, bitting on her lips.

"What! your hair, you have the prettiest hair ever, how can they mock you for it, infact initially I even felt envious of your hair" Ema said surprised by the reason, 'were they okay' she thought.

"Something must have been wrong with them" Ema continued.

"You think so" Elisa asked back.

"I know so" she said smiling at her, "now let's forget about that"she said when a knock on the door interrupted her, standing up she walked to the door, returning with clothes in her hand, "take them, there are for you" she said handing them over to Elisa and she took it from her.

"Thank you" Elisa said taking the clothes from her.

"You are welcome" she said with a smile walking back to her bed.

"After now we will go for dinner and they would share your work to you so let me give you a quick advise, if you are ever told to serve the Lord or you ever get into an encounter with him, try your very best to be as subtle as you can not to attract his attention" she said looking grave.

"Why.." Elisa asked confused and curious, 'was he really that bad' she thought remembering her encounter with him.
