Living in a Shield World
Moving House

MOVE HOUSE

First day of service, success. Andy didn't talk to me. He was just focused on his job

At four in the afternoon, I said goodbye. All guests have gone home.

In the employee locker room, I was alone. There's no one.

On the little tablet, the father's gift that put me here, there's no telling what else I should do. How'this? Can I go home now?

I went around this place this morning they were gathered. There's no one.

On the wall of the room were pictures of servants in the king's room. The leader was the tall mother, her name was Nyang i, and the gleaming man was Vajt.

"What is alone here?!", Nyang I asked me

"I'm done serving in the king's room" I hope this lady understands what I mean, wants to go home soon.

" You....., the king and master Sam, command no more?", he asked with a frown

"No mistress, sir Sam has no orders", why does Nyang i seem to hesitate

"Hello, Mr. Sam", he immediately contacted Sam

"What about the new servant, is there any other order?", he doesn't believe me

"Oh, all right, I understand, thank you"

He pressed the coin, then looked at me, "Abraham is always great at recommending someone, you can go home"

******

"Edward! Rossy!, why are you outside, who opened the door?"

"Edward!", show Rossy

"No!, Rossy! who opened the door!"

They hit each other, with a lot of ground in his hands. This garden of flavorings is similar in the Edges forest, they destroy the garden.

"Who fights, shall not sleep in bed!"

They panted heavily, stopping the fight. But just a few minutes they got along again. That's my son, never long a feud.

Coming home from work can not be relaxed, many true my life. Entering the house, which was once a warehouse, now really looks like a warehouse. Left for work, and my house was in disarray, apparently my kids were just partying.

While drinking tea, I rested on the patio chair. Watching Edward and Rossy running around, digging up the ground and throwing flowers at each other. A moment of crying, a moment of laughing. Their lives are perfect, happy, fatherless.

*****

Tonight, Edward and Rossy sleep fast, exhausted playing. When they're going to school, I really don't have time.

"Night of Abraham"

"Hi Hannah, how are you doing, is everything ok?"

" I have no problem Abraham, everything is good, thank you!"

"Abraham, can you help Edward and Rossy find a school, I really don't have time during the day"

"Ask anything from me Hannah, for them, anything....! Tomorrow I'll come, before they wake up

"Where do you live now?"

"After the kitchen building, you can't pick them up, there has to be access to the kitchen building"

"So....."

"Let's see Abraham, can you be here in the morning at six? I can take them out looking for school with you"

"Ok, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and I'm going to meet them!"

"Ooowh, you got your own plan?!"

"I miss them, Hannah"

"Thank you Abraham, it's been a hassle"

*****

This morning, I will cut the fish first before burning, so that the house is not like a cat attack, bones and fish heads scattered everywhere

Imagine how happy they were yesterday, without me, without schoolwork. Just playing all day

Eight more flower gardens have not been cleared, I don't have time like the girls used to

Enter the main hall building, the middle floor, into the king's room.

Before entering the king's chamber, I must report first to the king's special servant's chamber

This time I came with them. There were fifty servants, in the king's special servant room. They are divided into three shifts. I'm special in the office, so I'm always on the morning shift and alone.

" Ahem ahem", Nyang i ber dehem, so that the attention of the people in front focused only on him

"I'm sorry, I gathered all the shifts today, I counted 50 of you, I've collected all"

Why are we all together?

"I'll introduce you first, the new employee of Edges, he's half shield, his name is Merryl"

I nodded my head, saluting the others

"He was placed in the king's chamber yesterday"

"And no complaints, all NO COMPLAINts", Nyangi stressed the word 'no complaints'

"After so many years of despair to find a special servant of the king who accompanied in the office, there was finally a suitable one" murmured Nyang i

For some reason, many of them shed tears. It's suspicious

I'm hugged by a lot of people, what is this, why is everyone like this. Wasn't Andy a very caring and kind person, why they hugged me like Andy, a difficult person to communicate with

Nobody told me why, just hugging and crying.

What's the matter? My bewildered face was covered in half shield.

******

After a day yesterday, who had been indifferent, did not even ask my name, now they all want to get to know me

"Merryl, we all thank you" said Vajt, dancing his wrist

"Otherwise, all of Nyang i's leaders, all of the servants here will now be fired"

"you mean? I'm not too clear"

"Our new king has high standards of service, you know his guests from everywhere, in contrast to My King, his father"

Vajt, take a breath, regulate his emotions.

"Our king was more quickly angry and fired, even Nyang I who had worked for decades with My King was threatened as well"

"Hmmm so yeah"

"My King used to be not based here, but in Administration!"

I know, I have served him, I answered in my heart

"Our present king, all day long, just wants to take office here, imagine we waiters have to understand all the languages of those guests! Absolutely hell!"

Andy was too imposing on the servants

"There is no translator?"

"Although there can't be one person for many such languages. The old man, he didn't like the interpreter's company"

My King used to love being alone and receiving guests without servants. Andy was different he wanted someone to accompany him, even Sam was taken to take care of him

"Is it because of the tragedy that befell My King?", I said softly

Vajt nodded doubtfully, "The official news is My King is sick, but everyone in the main room knows, My King was attacked by his own friend, who was controlled by an inner strong person"

I'm silent, Andy's life here must be gripping, terrorized and watched. He needs a lot of friends.

"Because My King rarely asked for company, so when he was attacked and passed out no one knew"

Vajt didn't go on with the story, it was time for us to be in each other's rooms

I hope Andy, will defend me, my voice is now raucous, thanks to the leaves of the yellow flavoring flower.

I'll drop off some snacks for Andy, a new food train arrives from the kitchen

"Sorry kitchen", I stopped the kitchen staff who delivered it

"It's what juice yes, I'm new"

"White mushroom and orange juice, without flavor flowers, is not too deadly, but can make us itch"

"Not toxic, white mold, why is it given?"

"For us to be toxic, make the royal family's energy"

He left after saying that, I thought like My King who should eat and drink flavored flowers and white mushrooms, due to poisoning. Andy is healthy just need extra energy

In the king's office there were already many people, Sam, Brian's doctor, Macbirth and a few others I didn't know.

No wonder, always this much food.

It was morning and they were gathered.

Finished putting the food away, but Sam held me back.

"Merryl, here.... The king wants to talk to you"

What I'm afraid happened

"Yes, Your Majesty"

I stood before them all as in the court. Only Andy sat in his chair, the others standing around him

"You, do you speak Edges?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am from Edges"

"Yesterday, they were all representatives of the filler tribe from the east of Edges, and you seemed to know all their languages"

"I often work odd jobs throughout His Majesty's Edges, the language is almost similar, just certain words. To talk I can't"

I can't be caught

"Unfortunately, I need a good waiter in many languages like.", Sam patted Andy on the back.

I know, like me, you need people who know as many languages as I do. But I'm not Hannah Jacklyn now, I'm Merryl, Hannah Jacklyn is dead
