Seeing Lea with a crying face as she went out of the dining hall, Lilith followed her in her room. Worried about what happened to the madame she was serving.
Knock knock knock
“Madame? It is me, Lilith”
But no one answered her. She know that it would be rude for her to enter without having the permission to do so but she can’t help but feel like staying there. She doesn’t want to leave. Knowing that Lea is crying inside. Probably hurt.
“May I… come inside? Madame?”
Thinking that she just wants to be alone. Lilith stay standing still in front of the door. Not wanting to leave.
‘I will stay here, so that if she need something, I can help her immediately’
As a girl who have no person to talk too, always secluded in one corner, she have no friends at all. Thinking of how nice it was to have the madame to support her, to treat her like a real friend, to see her for her worth, she knew full well that if it is her whom Lea saw crying, she would also stay and wait. Since she is a person like that. Kind to people even if she doesn’t get any benefits from them. She care for them as if… she was an angel sent from the heaven.
‘Just what is that thing that keeps hurting you? Madame? May I do something to help you? If you just tell me, I will do it in my utmost ability’
She wants to tell her that but she knew she can’t. specially when the one she wants to talk to was inside. Probably crying her heart out.
‘I just hope that everything will be good to you, madame. I hope you can smile again… just like the smile you had back then…
Remembering those times, she can’t help but smile a bit.
“Your smile that can make anyone who see you smile too…”
“Woof woof!”
The puff ball before is not a bit bigger than what he was when Lea left. But after waking up and following that familiar scent, it leads him to Lea’s room.
“Woof, woof!”
He continued barking. As if that little fur ball was talking to the door. Ordering it to open since he wants to go inside.
“Woof!”
Bending to meet the puppy, Lilith was surprised when the door opened.
“Puff?”
That familiar voice calling his name, running around Lea the fur ball can’t help but wag his tail as he keeps on jumping from left to right.
Such excitement he had as he jumps around. but more than anything else, it was Lilith who was filled with happiness.
Mr. Augustus keeps on telling her to confirm a thing or two. It was her who was the closest with Lea. Maybe there is something she can tell to guarantee that he is indeed Lea and not her twin. Because the butler knew that it isn’t that long until Aiden was filled with his conscience on how greedy he had become.
“Madame?”
Giggling with the dog as she ruffles its hair, Lea’s attention turned to Lilith as she called for her.
Lilith was silent. That made her be worried somehow
“Are you alright?”
Eyes a bit red, one call tell how she just cried. But for her to ask her if she is alright,
‘Aren’t I should be the one to ask you that? Madame? Just… why are you so kind to me?’
There she saw a tears forming on Lilith’s eyes. Kneeling in front of her, Lea panicked to see her sob.
“Wait what- what happened?”
Puff remain to be a good dog and just keep him bark to himself while watching Lea console Lilith.
"Madame, I knew it... you are indeed madame… it is you… I knew it”
Suddenly giving her a hug, even Lea was surprised by her action. But the moment Lilith gain back her senses, she deeply apologize for what she did. Hugging her like that and crying in front of her, she knew that she did something so horrible.
“I told you it is fine. I understand… you don’t need to apologize”
“I am really sorry madame-“
Giggling, Lea can’t believe of how hard headed Lilith can be. But she see her as a composed maid. Even when attending to her needs and preparing her with the beautiful dress she was wearing today, she isn’t someone who looks like… someone who would cry just like that.
“But may I ask you a thing or two?”
Smiling at her, they are sitting with their back on the wall. Lea insist in doing so since Lilith wont sit on her bed.
‘Madame, I am not worthy to sat there. I would be good in the floor’
“Yes madame, anything you wish to know”
“What kind of person is Aiden’s wife”
Confused by her words, Lilith can’t tell why she suddenly feel curious about herself.
“What kind of person you are? Madame?”
Waving her hands she shook her head.
“No, no, I am not his wife. I told you already that I have a fiance. And he told me that my twin is the wife of Aiden”
Smiling at Lilith, for some reason, Lilith know that she really believes that man. Her fiance…
“Madame…”
‘But if I told her that, she would be mad if I speak ill of her fiance… but… I can see no reason why he would lie to madame… I mean… no one knows puff’s name other than those people in this mansion and Madame… since she was the one who named him after all’
Not knowing what to say, she know that it would be bad if she anger her. All she can do was to tell her what really happened. What kind of person she really was.
‘Maybe if I did so, she can recall it… and she would know who she really is…’
“Madame…. Young Master’s wife is full of wonders. She is kind… really kind. She is funny sometimes but she is diligent in her work as the madame of this house. She would even transform a dead garden to a beautiful one. She would make the two masters of this house do something they never did before”
Smiling as she speaks about what she thinks of, Lea can’t help but wonder how amazing her twin was.
“She would also do task of maid like me just to avoid someone, pfft, and she would make that funny face that I can easily read. A day with her is never boring…”
Letting Lilith continue her words, she can’t help but feel happy hearing those words. There is even a spark on Liliths eyes. As if she was speaking things she really admires.
“She is also the first friend I had. The first person to reach me out with no ulterior motives of using me… she is an angel…”
“She sounds like a wonderful person”
Lea mumbled as she smile.
‘Will I be able to be like that?’
“She is indeed wonderful”
As Lilith look at her eyes, it was the first time Lea see her smile,
“And I wish and hope nothing but happiness for her”
Can’t help but me mesmerized by Lilith’s smile, Lea did not hesitate and speak her mind.
“Lilith… you should smile more often”
And Lilith can’t help but laugh.
“Really madame… There is no day boring with her…”
