Chapter is currently not edited.

Chapter 3: First time (Part II)

Ferris felt exhausted after experiencing this new feeling of her but she did not think it was unpleasant. She felt that her spirit was recovering. Her whole body felt warm and her cheek was flushed hot.

[You see… just look. So pretty right?]

Both Alicia and Ferris stood in front of a mirror. Alicia place her hand over Ferris shoulder and asked her this question.

The mirror reflected a child which is unknown to Ferris.

White and smooth skin.

s.h.i.+ny glossy hair that is still dripping water.

Deep red lip and rosy pink cheek.

[…Who?]

Ferris tilted her head which makes Alicia laugh.

[That's you, Ferris. The real you are such a cute girl. Hence, you must bath everyday]

[This is…me…right…?]

The more she looks, the more unbelievable she felt.

And while Ferris is in this state, a growling sound is heard from her stomach.

[Well well, you must be hungry. The preparation should almost be done, so let's go have a meal]

Ferris jumped hearing the word meal.

[Meal!? Is it meal!? Can I also eat a meal!?]

[Maa, you suddenly have such a big reaction]

[Ah, S, sorry! I unconsciously…]

Ferris hanged her head dejectedly. She thought that if she acts like a beast, she would not be allowed to stay any longer.

[It's alright. Well then, let’s head to the dining room]

Alicia smiled gently towards Ferris and held her hand.

———————————————————————————————————————

The room Alicia called a dining room was a big room with an extremely long table.

The surface of the table is covered with a white cloth and many metal lid lined up along the table. The food was nowhere in sight.

Noticing that Ferris suddenly felt dejected, Alicia started to explain.

[You don’t have to worry as the food are all underneath the lid]

[Ah, I, see…]

As a ten-year-old girl sitting on one of the huge chair, it makes Ferris look even smaller.

The head maid than entered the room and speak to Alicia.

[Ojou-sama. The leader of the guard came over. Regarding the attempted a.s.sault this time, he would like to speak with danna-sama, ojou-sama… and the guest over there] (T.L Danna-sama is Alicia's father)

Alicia shake her head.

[Leave this matter to later. The most important thing now is to fill Ferris's stomach]

Saying that, Alicia directed her smile towards Ferris.

[However, ojou-sama, the guard leader seems extremely busy…]

[Later, later. Which is more important, accommodating to the schedule of guard leader or repaying my important benefactor]

A statement which indicate there is no room for negotiation.

[There is no helping it… I will convey it properly to danna-sama]

The head maid smiled bitterly while leaving the room.

[Well then, please eat to your heart content!]

Alicia took the sit beside Ferris and gave a nod to the maids.

Hence, the maid came close to the table and remove all the lids covering the food.

And on that table, Ferris saw many cuisines that she never saw in her life.

There are many type of simmered and roasted meat that are overflowing with delicious smell.

Salad made up of a combination of red, green and yellow vegetables.

A huge basket filled to the brim with fruits.

A variety of ingredient that is cooked by frying.

A cake that is covered in white cream.

Ferris does not even know the name of any of the dish, yet the alone the way to eat it.

No matter which one she looks, all of the dish seem delicious.

[I, itadakimasu!]

Unable to resist the temptation any longer, Ferris leaped at the food.

She does not know the purpose of the small knife or fork placed on the table and just grab a hand full of the cake. She then pushed all food into her mouth and swallow it without even chewing.

[Maa!] [What is with your way of eating!?] [Please at least use a fork!]

The maid started making a commotion.

[It's alright]

With a single word from Alicia, all the maid quiet down.

Ferris is self-indulging in eating the cake.

Stuffing her face full of cream, biting strawberry, eating huge bites of the sponge portion of the cake and a loud swallowing sound could be heard from her throat.

Such a delicious food, Ferris has never eaten in her whole life.

Sweetness, freshness, and fluffiness… food which tasted like it came out from her dream, a portion dropped from her face. The food melted in her tongue. Her stomach is still growling, more, screaming to eat more food.

[How is it…? Is it delicious?]

Alicia enquired.

At long last, Ferris realised that she is greedily devouring the food and stop her action out of guilt.

[Not…delicious]

[Eh…]

Alicia eyes opened wide in surprise.

[I…realised it… Delicious food… never eaten… I always, thought the delicious bread… but, its not delicious…]

Comparing it to the cake, the bread also tasted like garbage.

Ferris did not receive anything else besides the mouldy breads so she thought all along that it tasted good. However, that is because she did not taste other flavours.

After realising it, she knew how stupid she was before.

Her word that her masters said to her, [Leftover garbage woman].

At the street, she saw many people wearing beautiful dresses.

Various things are surfacing into Ferris mind and her body started trembling.

Don’t know why, tears are flowing. Cannot stop.

[This cake is… very, very delicious…]

Ferris tried to smile with a (ehehe) coming out her throat. (T.L Crying and smiling at same time)

Looking at such a Ferris, Alicia bit her lips.

[… As long as you like, it's okay to eat more]

[Yes…]

[… Until you get bored, it’s okay to keep on staying in this house]

[Thank… you very much….]

Ferris felt warmth after Alicia hugged her from behind.

Alicia voice, felt warm.

Ferris kept on chewing the cake that already tasted salty.

Her chest felt painful, aching but it is a comfortable feeling.

Ferris wished this moment would stay on longer while being hugged by Alicia.
