The Records Of a Peculiar Maid [2]

-------------

Yesterday, we got some guests at the mansion at midnight.. no less !

-----

I woke up to the sounds of people entering the mansion and at first thought that we were being robbed. I almost hit one of them with a bat but they introduce themselves as the young masters friends.

Their names were Eric and Angela.

The child looked so cute!

I wanted to pinch her cheeks but I have to maintain my composure. I'm a maid that works at the Creed's mansion. There's a certain standard that I have to uphold.

I bring out some biscuits for them and go back to get the milk.

As I came back with the milk, I could hear the young master's voice.

I press my ears close to the kitchen's doors and listen in on them.

...

...

....

...

....

Oh God.

Is he saying the truth ?

The angels were lying to us..... My masters weren't really my masters ?

I felt scared at the fact that I had just heard something that I wasn't supposed to hear.

What would the young master do, once he finds out that I listened in on his conversation ?

'Gulp'

I have to tell Francis and Amanda about this.... they'll know what to do.

Untangling Lies (2)

Now that I had killed Joe, Katherine would see that I've killed two people.

…

Why didn't I think of this earlier ?

It's only reasonable that she thinks that I'm the killer and it's not like I can tell her that I'm the one who killed the killer.

…

This all feels so complicated.

The atmosphere in the room wasn't that Adam- friendly right now. When she had first proclaimed that I was killer, everyone was confused.

But Katherine explains about her skill.

This was a huge step for her. Under normal circumstances , her family had instructed her to never reveal their family's hereditary skill, ' Kill count' to anyone.

The fact that she revealed the skill, even if it was only to the people she trusted the most showed her resolve.... to end me.

This doesn't happen in the novel, but that isn't something new is it ?

I let out a sigh and raise my hands in the air,

'' Let me explain mysel-'', I take a step forward but Liam aims his sword at me and says in cautious voice,

'' Stay back.''

Seriously.

Uhhgggg.. this whole ordeal just feels tedious.

Even though it was tiresome, what I say next is deteremental for my survival... so I better not mess this up.

'' I-'', Max cuts me off and says,

'' Why don't we listen to him first ?'', he uses his hand to calm Liam down.

Truly a student becomes the teacher moment.

'' I-'', I try to start again but I'm cut off yet again.

'' He's not the killer. I was with him all day yesterday.... are you calling me a killer too ?'', Eric says with voice that sounded a little angry.

Well he's at least standing up for me now.

I suppose that's a big step for him.

'' No, o-of course not.'', Katherine stutters back.

He must know that she knows about the fact that he killed someone and that's like his most deepest darkest secret. Katherine must be startled because she's probably never seen Eric be so expressive before.

'' What's his kill count ?'', Emilia who was still standing next to me asks while keeping her eyes fixed on me.

At her question, Katherine goes silent.

'' What is it ?''. Max asks her with his hand on her shoulder.

How the fuck is his shoulder so fast ?

It's this kind of behavior that make all the women love him, he's such a gentleman.

I felt like a proud papa, seeing him working his charm... but what Katherine says next... completely stop all the thoughts that were going through my mind.

'' His kill count is... more than four billion.''

Adam.exe has stopped working.

....

....

....

Everyone gasps, but not like a surprise gasp.... more like a confused gasp because what Katherine just said right now couldn't be possible. Not even the demon king's killed that many people.

Katherine's not one to lie... so why's she lying now ?

I mean... think about it, if I have the power to kill more than four billion people.. I would be an existence akin to a go-

Wait.

I think I know what's going on here.

I am similar to a god here.... aren't I ?

Is the four billion thing, because I killed off so many people in the novel and now that the novel had turned into reality.. they're deaths were in my hands.

I have to say if that's true.... that's pretty fucked up, even for me.

But isn't this the perfect opportunity for me ?

I mean... Katherine just looked stupid now.

Eric had vouched for me, also given me an alibi as well.

The four billion kill count was not just realistically possible... unless if they knew about the fact that I was their creator.

I could feel the tides of fortune wash over me.... Is this what they call plot armor ?

I don't know... but it felt good.

Heh.

But I can't have Katherine be humiliated... from what I've seen so far even the smallest changes affect the plot of the novel adversely.

I need some kind of lie that feels convincing...

Yes, that's perfect.

I clear my throat and the eyes of everyone in the room falls on me,

'' I think there's been a mistake... and I think I know why.''

Once I was sure that I had attention of everyone in the room, I continue,

'' Firstly, I'm not a killer. Secondly the reason why her skill is saying that I killed more than four billion people, which isn't even realistically possible must be probably because of one of my skills. It's called 'Impostor' and I'm not comfortable with sharing more about my skills.''

With that I finished speaking and observed their reactions.

I know the whole, ' Impostor' thing was a little shaky.. but that's all I could come up with on such short notice.

Let's hope that they believe me.

~~~~

They did believe me.

But Katherine still didn't seem to be fully convinced.

Still, she still apologizes to me and all of us go with our day.

Class ends for that day and I'm currently in my personal training room. Eric seems hell bent on ignoring my very existence. He must still be shaken with the fact that Katherine probably knew that he had killed a person.

He must be worried about her spreading rumors or something. They should probably have a talk or something. Considering their respective personalities it was likely that a conversation would happen.

I'm practicing with my spear right now.

The only thing I regret about adding into the novel was how hard it was to learn techniques. I've been struggling with the training manual for the spear for more than two months now, but my job's level was still not increasing.

Jobs in this world had 5 basic levels.

The Rookie level also known as level one.

The Veteran Rookie level also known as level two.

The Master level also know as level three.

The Veteran Master level also known as level four.

The Diamond Master level also known as level five.

I was currently a level o, spearman. Yes I'm in a level that's not officially recognized by the world. It's probably because of my job change.

Before mastering a weapon, there's a set of basic that have to be ingrained into a person's body. Only after mastering the basics can people really get into the complexities of the weapon. Usually a person is designated a job at birth and the basics of that particular job is automatically ingrained into their bodies.

Since I had changed the job that was given to me at birth, I had to learn the basics of how to use a spear.

During each level up, our job also evolves . Like my spearman could change into something like lancer. They could also evolve into unique jobs.

Two months ago, I had gotten this manual which contained the basic techniques of the spear and I've been at it for two months now.

...

...

Two months with no visible progress will drain you.

But I could feel that I was nearing a breakthrough.

Just as this thought passes through my mind a notification appears before me.

[ Job has levelled up !]

[Your job is now: Spear Warrior]

Finally.

I let out a sigh and fall down on the ground exhausted. I can taste the ground. That's a whole new level of low.

Now that this was done. There was only one thing in my to do list that I had to complete.

Save the demonic princess.

I was extremely nervous because I have no idea what to expect since the princess was a character that I didn't really know that much about. The only role she had was to die by Max's hand.

But I was going to change that. This change could change the whole course of the plot. I know it but as I always say,

Fuck the plot.

I press my ears against the ground of the training room and try to listen carefully, maybe I can hear the demon princess.

....

....

That's right.

The prison inside the Unity was not above the ground. It was below, an underground prison.

Author's Note,

That's a wrap on Volume 2 !!

I can't believe that I've written over 50 chapters even though some of them are very short.

Writing on this platform has been amazing so far. All your comments and reviews really encourage me to write more. The critisism I have recieved so far has also helped me improve myself a lot. So thank you for that as well.

Currently I'm planning on writing close to 10 volumes. The number of chapters in each volume will differ according to my preferences. Now that Vol.2 is finished, I have decided to take a month long break to stack up on chapters.

Releasing a chapter a day isn't that hard but the problem is the quality will drop if I'm forcing myself to write the chapter. I love writing but I have to be in a certain mood to write good stuff. So that's why after careful consideration I've decided to take this small break. I'll probably mass release the chapters I've written after a month.

Now, I know that some of you may not like this and may want to remove the book from your library. To all those people I say, Go for it.

I know how tiring it can be not read something for a month and then suddenly start reading again. You may feel disconnected from the plot, may forget the characters etc..

But I hope you all stay for the whole ride. ( considering that I don't drop it midway.. which I probably won't )

There's also going to be an epilogue for volume 2 that's going to set up more lovely misunderstandings.

I'll publish it after checking for any grammatical errors.

From,

A very lazy carrot
