"Aaaa- wuuu~" I yawn while rubbing my eye.
Mmmm? Did I fell asleep?...
I haven't slept this good in yea-
Nevermind.
I get up from the comfortable pillow and look around the room.
... This is Miss's room.
Ah! Right... we were cultivating...?
Were we really cultivating?
Boom!
Boom!
Booom!
Loud chirping of birds can be heard from outside.
Good. It doesn't look like I overslept.
Boom!
Boooom!
...?
I don't remember any bird to chirp so loudly?
"Come, Sophia!"
"Pardon me for being rude!"
Boom!
Boooom!
Eh?! What is happening?
Are Miss and Sophia fighting?!
I hurriedly try to stand up from the bed, but I slip on my own clothes "Awuu!" and,
Bam.
I face planted the ground.
"A, awuuu..." That hurt... I rub my nose...
"Awu..." Ah... there's blood...
Bam, the door suddenly opens and Miss runs in worriedly.
"Latifa, what happened? Are you okay?" She takes my head into her hands and worriedly scans my head.
"B, blood! W, who did that? Where is he, I will chop him into pieces!" She starts shouting.
"Awu! Awu! Awuu...!" I try to convey that no one hurt me, that I just fell down from the bed.
"I see! So it was you!!" Miss stands up and starts destroying the bed.
"A, awu...?" M, Miss...?
"Fuu..." Miss sighs.
She turns at me and says with a gentle smile.
"See? There's nothing to worry about? I have properly punished the culprit." She says as if she just beat up a criminal.
"A, Awuu...?"
T, thank you...?
What's wrong with Miss?
She's acting weird.
No she's always acting weird, but...
This is weirder than usually?
Miss comes back to me and lifts me up.
Then she carries me outside.
"Sophia! We are taking a break, Latifa is awake!" Miss says to Sophia.
"Yes, Miss!" Sophia answers.
"Senu? Where is Senu? Why is she not by her Master's side?" Miss starts frantically looking for my mai- Princess Senu.
"I'm here, Miss!" My- Princess Senu quickly approaches Miss.
"Good, have you prepared breakfast for Latifa?"
"Yes, Miss!"
My Princess Senu runs to the kitchen to get the food.
In the meantime, Miss puts me on a chair and sits next to me.
Soon, my maid- What did I just say?!
Princess Senu! Princess Senu returned with a plate full of food!
Princess Senu, not my maid! Hm!
"Awu!" Thanks!
Manners are important.
"Awu!" I'm digging in!
I lift a bread with some funny looking paste on top and bite into it.
No taste...
... What did I honestly expect?
A nice fruity taste?
Sweetness?
Bitterness?
Sourness?
A taste of freedom?
How could I even think of tasting something with my empty mouth?
How could such delicious looking food prepared by Her Highness herself taste so emptily?
Why can't I enjoy the taste of bread?
Why... Why am I not allowed to taste my own tears?!
