The Ark of Life

Treated Differently

"Hmm??" I tilted my head as I approached Devan who was still silent yet to speak.

"First of all, how interested are you in the earth?" sahut Devan asked back looking frowned.

"Umm. until I want to stay there and bring my parents."

For some reason Devan smiled as if laughing at me in the heart, after I said about my attachment to the earth. A dream place I want to visit someday.

"I'm sorry, I can't explain the details about the earth. Didn't our leader ever make a rule, a ban on knowledge of the earth?!" devan said with serious eyes.

"Either. I don't know. Why is knowledge of the earth forbidden?" tanyaku firmly emphasized the word while glaring. I know my behavior is too bold, but as long as I'm next to Devan I don't have to worry, because he's always patient and kind to me.

"Ehh?"

He even stroked the tip of my head with an anxious expression as usual, this he often did when I asked him something possible, Devan did not want to tell me.

"You're always like this, asking more questions than explaining something important with me!" said Devan who kept stroking my head with a sweet smile. Frankly, that smile sometimes makes me lulled.

Given my position under him I can only surrender to the things he did to me.

And in the end I had to figure out for myself the prohibition on earth knowledge that was forbidden by the leader, which was rarely known by most people.

A few days passed until Sunday came. I intend to go home while doing holiday activities later, this vacation time is given by the mistress of the Li family on a rotating basis to each aide.

At five in the morning, I was busy checking the luggage I had packed, there was a gift I wanted to give to my father and mother.

After checking and everything was ready I rushed to leave the room. Don't forget I locked the door just in case.

As I passed through the hallway of the maids I was shocked by Devan's arrival.

She was dressed differently than usual, but kept tidy. A type of clothing that can absorb sweat. He wears white glasses that match his personality.

"De... young master..is looking for someone?" ask me with steps that have stopped.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then who are you looking for? Let me help you!"

"You!"

"Yes, I'll help you find, eh!? Me?"

"Hmm, I want to take you somewhere. It just so happens that the place is in line with you who are about to return home!"

"I see, I can't resist.."

"really?" devan asked as he approached me.

"You know how else, I'm just a subordinate, but that doesn't mean I really want to come with you.. I want to spend time with my family there and..."

"What?" devan asked who was getting closer to me so I could see her smooth face and her blue eyes clearly.

"It's just the same family!" as long as I turned my face away, honestly, I couldn't see it up close. I might faint from embarrassment.

"Hmm, yeah. We'll leave right after breakfast, here, let me get that suitcase!"

"Yeah." Yeah."

At the dining table.

I had to obey orders that were contrary to my current status, as a maid. Because Devan ordered me to have breakfast with him, in a place I shouldn't have.

A dining table that contains delicious and appetizing dishes at this breakfast time.

Fortunately, the big master and the madam were not at home, so there was no need to worry about that.

But because of this opportunity I will definitely be ostracized by a few more helpers, and that is only a small part of what they did to me. Because they hate me and don't like me.

Whether out of jealousy or displeasure I was treated differently by Devan than most of the maids at Li's residence, they hated me so much.

All I know is there are four maids who hate me.

One of them is named Vera who now looks at me on the side unknown to Devan with eyes of hatred.

And in addition to human labor, Li's residence also uses robots as their helpers.

Actually the Li family is one of the large families that still use human workers to facilitate daily affairs.

Usut has a mouth he said the big master had experienced bad things while the robot waiter served him. Which was also experienced by the great madam.

That's why the Li family prefers human labor as a worker at home, rather than robotic power. But it does not rule out the possibility of robots removed from this residence.

"Xia.. are you daydreaming?" devan asked me to break my daydream.

"Ah. yep, sorry."

After breakfast, Devan and I rushed to the place of decline using private vehicles, I called it so because by going down using stairs, elevators, and such far down, my caste seemed to go down.

"Damn.."

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing is."

"Hey.don't lie, you're a kid so..."

"Yes, I confess!" devan's wild behavior I often find, just now he was about to flick my forehead. Fortunately, because I am used to being able to do self-protection. By covering my forehead with both palms.

"Emm."

"Hehe.."

I was wrong, but protecting my forehead was not effective. Devan instead touched both of my cheeks like pinching with his anxiety, he dared so because the vehicle he was driving was currently in a state of auto drive. It's not wrong anymore.

Honestly, Devan's treatment made me think that he might like me, but as a little brother. Surely.

Had I been given a wish that would have materialized I might have hoped that Devan would become my husband in the future. Or both my parents were given a complete cure for their illness.

[The percentage of the population that rejects the decisions of leaders is increasing, this is due to social inequalities that occur at all levels]

[Related to the new rules the leader is said to need to overhaul again so as not to harm some parties who are not benefited]

"The beginning of kehan.." Devan's words hanging no longer continued.

Makes me wonder what exactly he would comment on from the news just now.

Not wanting to be dizzy, I also chose to listen to the news again on the car radio.

Suddenly I felt the car I was riding stopped, when I was carried away and closed my eyes.

"Emm? Have we arrived..?" my many.

"No, I just want you to sit in front!"

"Why?"

"No excuses, quick."

"Yes, wait a minute."

During the trip I pretended to sleep leaning back because I realized Devan was stealing my eyes.

I just want to know, his behavior when conditions allow someone to do free.

Will he act beyond limits to me?
