The maid, who had brought her lunch, came again. This time, she brought afternoon tea and said with a smile, "Oh, you're awake now?"
Sophie stared suspiciously at the maid, feeling that she somehow looked familiar.
The maid's eyes darted away. She placed the afternoon tea on the bedside table and, wanting to slip away, said, "This is your afternoon tea. I have other things to do, so I'll go first."
Afternoon tea?When did she, a maid, start to enjoy such good benefits?
"Wait."
The little maid turned her head. "Is there anything else?"
"Have I seen you before?"
The maid was taken aback and immediately denied it. "How could it be..."
"Come here, let me have a good look at you."
The maid shook her head. "I really do have things to do; I can't waste time."
"You're a servant, aren't you?" Sophie remembered that she seemed to have seen her inside the castle.
She wasn't a maid at all.
