The Lady is strange.

It's been a month since I came under the care of the Tran estate and all I can observe is that the Lady is abnormal. Don't get me wrong. She is not disabled or mentally illed. She is just... too rebellious for a standard noble woman.

Even the village girls I used to played with are not this rebellious. Maybe she is a spoiled brat, but she doesn't seem swayed by the dresses and jewelleries that the Lord drowned her with. Well, she even nagged him further for buying her those things. The Lady love to nag the Lord. That's one thing I know for sure.

Her name is Dung, meaning a forever beautiful face. The name suits her. With those lovely big black eyes, those curled lashed, a small red lip, high nose. Is there anything on her face that is not perfect?

The Lady sure is strange but it doesn't mean that she is not kind. She usually gives me some sweet treats after my sword training class. The Lady doesn't talk much to me but she likes to give me stuff. Sometimes clothes, sometimes biscuits, sometimes books. The only time she talks to me first is the time she heard me whining about I don't have many books with other servants.

She told me that I can come into the family's study room to read since now I'm part of the family. It took me quite a time to actually get into there but when I was building up my courage. She just came and gave me the military books anyway (even though she kept nagging me for being too shy).

I was a commoner so studied how to act like a noble challenged me. When I was with the servant, I still acted like a commoner I was. It felt freer than stiffed into the framework of a noble.

One time, she caught me swore in front of the servant. If this is the estate that I used to serve before. I would be beaten and banned from dinner, but she doesn't care. The Lady chuckled at my stunned expression and warned me don't say it in front of the Lord. I promised her not to say any of that filth again and she simply said.

"Just swear. It makes you feel calm right? Just do what you want, I don't mind."

I guess I can take it as one more strange thing of her.

The other day, I finally gather up the last bit of courage in me to ask her. We were standing in the garden when I asked.

"Hey, can we be friend?"

The Lady looked stunned. Her eyes blinked in confusion. Shit. I knew it's a bad idea.

"Are we not friends?"

"We are?"

Since when?

Now I really don't know what on the scale of insane is this happening. She looked truly confused and she blushed.

"Did I misunderstand? I mean I didn't have many friends to begin with."

Looking at her flustered made me thought for the first time that the Lady is cute. Not strange. Not beautiful. Cute.

I think I'm ill. Because my heart is beating faster than it should be.
