The Demon's Personal Maid

Demoted

"Good morning Milord" Hazel said and Xavier spared her a glance
"You'll be going back to the servants quarters today and from now on, you're no longer my maid but a kitchen maid your wages will be twenty nickels and fifty shillings" he said too calmly
"What?" She shrieked
"You dare question me"
"No Milord" she recoiled back
"We don't have anything in relation again so don't speak to me like that"
"Yes Milord"
"Start packing your things. Yourself"
This was too much, demoted to one of the lowest maids, a kitchen maid who never gets rest or sleep cause they are always busy cooking. And the other maids will see this as she was being dumped after Xavier has used her. It isn't her fault, she turned out to be the girl. She slowly packed her things back to her old room, well she didn't miss this room, the small bed was a huge contrast to that at Xavier's room. She sat down thinking of how things just turned out until Collins came in
"I think I've given you enough time to settle your things, you need to be a the kitchen" Collins said
"I'll be there"
"I mean now Hazel, you got to remember your status now, you're no longer serving the Lord, you're now a kitchen maid so do as I say"
"Yes" she followed him to the kitchen where other maids were. She could hear and feel their mocking faces and voices and she knew if Collins wasn't there, they would have been bold enough to laugh at her.
Being a new kitchen maid, she did most of the dirty work, scratch that, she did all of the dirty work. Washing the plates and utensils, getting rid of the dirty water, cleaning and mopping if water was spilled anywhere. She wasn't asked to serve Xavier so she didn't get to see him throughout the day. After the day's work, she was released later in the night very tired and she slept immediately.
The next morning, Collins woke all the maids as usual with the alarm. Hazel was sent to the kitchen to clean it up before the others would start preparing breakfast and after breakfast was served, she stayed back at the kitchen to clean the mess the maids created while cooking. Finally when it was time to eat her breakfast along with the other servants, she was called by Mrs Decron to her room
"Who knew you'll be dumped so soon" Mrs Decron sneered
Hazel kept her head down to avoid answering
"Well now, Lady Dorin can take her rightful place without any distraction" Hazel just nodded her head, she was just hungry." Now I want you to weed the garden, the weeds are grown much"
"Okay ma'am, I'll do that immediately after my breakfast" Hazel reasoned
"No, you head straight there as you leave my room"
"But I haven't had my breakfast or showered ma'am"
"Who cares, nobody cares if you smell or hadn't eaten"
'Seriously' Hazel thought as she left the room to the garden. It was noon already and she still wasn't through, her hands were bruised and blisters were starting to show. This was the true life of a maid, her stomach had rumbled several times as she did the weeds
"Look who's weeding" a maid said as she passed and saw Hazel
"She thought she had gotten the Lord's attention before"
"I don't think hell mind if we call her names again"
"Nah" they said and laughed while Hazel ignored them, she didn't want their words to get to her. She continued her job when she felt a tap on her back, she turned to see who it was and it was Councilman Jordan Smith
"Ms Hazel" he called
"Sir Jordan" she bowed
"There's no need for that" he said raising her head by her chin
"I was just greeting"
He shook his head at that "Aren't you the Lord's maid,why are you at the garden"
"I was demoted"
"Oh my, if I may ask why"
"Some personal matters"
"I see, well its nice meeting you again after the last time we danced"
Hazel smiled at that " its nice seeing you too Sir"
"Its Jordan"
"Okay, Sir Jordan"
"I wasn't able to cone cause I was sent to Poetwyth for some work, I apologize for that"
"No need for that, you can't just forfeit your job for a maid"
"I'll see you around, I have a meeting now"
"Okay"
"Maybe after the meeting, if you're free, we could take a stroll around the mansion"
"That will be nice"
"I'm always nice" he winked and left. Hazel continued with her work not noticing that Xavier was watching closely as she spoke with Jordan.
'Did she come to the garden just to talk to Jordan and why was she weeding' he thought. He had to stop stalking her movement if he planned on hating her but seeing her with Jordan was enough to get his jealous knowing well that Jordan was interested in her. He moved away from the window to the courtroom where he had a meeting with the massage ministers and councilmen
Hazel on the other hand was done with the weeding  and Mrs Decron came herself to inspect it instead of sending Collins.
"Well you did good, you can have a bath cause you reek at the moment"
Hazel left the garden back to her room,she took a quick bath and ate the cold soup and bread waiting for her then hurried back to the kitchen as lunch will soon be prepared. Some minutes later, she was called to the kitchen and did the same thing she did in the morning. At some point, it felt like they were purposely messing up the kitchen. She was cleaning the floor when she felt a cold substance fall from her head to her body, she turned to see that someone has poured the water she used yo wash the plates in her head cause some particles of food were stuck in her hair. The laughs from the maids brought her back
"Ooops, I'm sorry, milady" the maid mocked
"Awwn, she looks more stunning like this" another said.
Hazel quietly left there to her room to get rid of the clothes and those food particles on her body. After that she left back to the kitchen.
