Not a Substitute

H2 Feel Cheated

A servant came to tell Ariel what to do. “All items must be put in place. Cannot be changed. Prepare clothes for the Lord. Starting from her work clothes and sleepwear.”

“Do you understand?”

Ariel nodded even though she felt the servant's explanation was too quick for her.

“I sleep where?” Ariel knew he would be an assistant staying over.

“Next to Mr.”

“What?” Ariel did see there was one separate bed next to the big bed just different sizes.

“You're surprised?”

“But I am a woman and a male master.”

“Take it easy. Master will not take you. It's your policy so that his assistant can come quickly. If your room is separate, it's difficult. Master does not like to spend his time with free.”

Ariel almost fainted. Sleeping in one room? Although Mr. Vincent cannot see, Vincent is still a man and a woman. 

“You can stop now if you don't want to,” Vincent said.

“No Sir. I want to work.” Ariel is in need of money right now. He also felt bad because he had bought expensive shoes.

“It's space to put your stuff.” The waiter showed a space for Ariel. 

The other waiter came. “Master, it's lunch time.”

Vincent took his wand and started walking. Since his eyes could not see he learned to memorize the path leading to the dining room from his room. Straight forward ten steps then turn right twenty steps.

They arrived at the dining table. 

Vincent sits. “Sit.”

Ariel, who was standing next to Vincent, sat down next to Vincent. 

Can I eat here? Talk to Mr. Vincent. But the other waiter ate in the kitchen. Ariel feels bad because she is new to work and eating with Mr. Vincent.

But Ariel remembered the butler's message. “Never feel bad with us. Assistant position Master it's a very important position.”

Ariel ate the same food as Vincent. Ariel's face looked so happy. He just ate the world's best food. 

“The food is good?”

“Very good. Just this time I ate this meal.” Ariel was happy.

After eating, they returned to their room. 

Vincent picks up a book and asks Ariel to read the book he chose. Ariel was shocked when she saw the front cover of the book.

Especially when you look at the title of the book. The book is titled “Various positions for married couples.” With illustrations of women and men with their innocent bodies.

Can I read this book? But this is Mr. Vincent's order. Ariel opened the first page. He began to read. “In ancient times a princess was born with pure white skin and red lips.”

What book is this? Ariel sees the cover and title of the book that does not match the content of the story. Why is the book a story of snow princess.

“Continue,” said Vincent while holding amused. He wants to laugh. Ariel's expression must be confused.

Ariel read the next paragraph. “King and Queen invite the fairies. They held an event for the birth of the princess.” This is a story about a snow princess.

“Ha ... Ha ... Ha ...” Vincent could not help his laughter.

Why is Mr. Vincent laughing so hard. Did I speak wrong?

“Already. Don't continue. I'm gonna take a break. You should sleep too. Later tonight we'll be staying up.”

Stay up? Wh-wh-what for?
