62 Rebels 2 (2/2)

”Thank you, umm I don't know your name,” I admitted while I placed the bread gently on the plate.

”My name is Jinny,” Jinny looked tired with baggy eyes while she slouched onto the table.

”You look really tired today,” I commented while wondering if she would notice if I put the bread back into her basket where other rotten bread were stored.

”I had to move carefully today because there were more knights and nobles in this particular neighborhood today to search for a spoiled runaway noble girl from the Suilett family,” Jinny complained.

”That must have been hard,” I avoided her eyes from my guilt as I remained ignorant that I was the runaway noble girl.

”It seems like that girl takes things for granted. If she knew that her family let her have great luxuries from their extravagant spending that commoners never be able to afford, she wouldn't be causing trouble for all of us,” Jinny continued as she frowned.

”Maybe it isn't as good as you may think it is to be a noble, nobles have tons of restricted freedom. Especially young noble children,” I added to unconsciously defend myself.

I recalled how Luke strict and limited my freedom in where I could go in terms of places that I could eat, shop, and spend my leisure time in. Occasionally, when Luke thought my behaviour was too 'unladylike of the Roselia family', he would lecture me for several hours.

”It's true that I have rarely seen young noble children,” Jinny agreed that young noble children had restricted freedom in where they could go.

”Since, you're look very tired, I can help with the chores since you're letting me stay here for free,” I offered Jinny as I tried to switch the topic.

”Thanks,” Jinny groaned as she went to her bedroom to relax before the meeting with the other rebels started.

'What should I do first?' I thought.

I grabbed a broomstick to start getting rid of the huge amount of dust gathered on the floor. This made me recall the days where I helped make dinner with my mom before I started high school.

'Mom,' I sadly thought as the dust was arranged into a large pile to be sweeped outside.

'I'm sorry that I couldn't live a long life that you wanted me too,' I started to do the dishes by rinsing them in a buckle full of water of the well that Jinny had brought with her.

I scrubbed the dishes with a raggy dishcloth and wiped the table with the remaining water.

I wasn't surprised that there would be a group of rebels after seeing how poorly Jinny lived compared to the luxurious environment of Belle's castle.

”Who is it?” I asked when I heard the loud knocks on the door of the house.
