"My Lady, My Lady." I could hear Belle searching for me. "I am in the library, Belle." I said.
She then entered the library, panting. "What is the matter? Your look tells me that it is serious." I said.
"Nothing much. The workers have left. The work of your private study room is ready." She said with some uncertainty.
"But?" I asked. "It is the workers." Belle said. "What is the matter with the workers?" I asked.
"They think that the design is too... " She didn't complete. "Too what?" I asked.
"Weird?" She said.
I then scoffed and returned to my reading. "Weird?" I asked. "Yes, My Lady." She said, bowing.
"Belle, do you know the only thing that is constant in our life?" I asked. "Uh... nothing?" She said, in a doubtful manner.
I chuckled. "It is change." I said. "Wait. Then My Lady, in one way, I am right." She said.
"There was a reason why I didn't object." I said and there was quietness.
"The only thing that is constant in our life is change. And this is something we humans have to accept. Because if not for us, who have the ability of adaptation." I said.
"So...?" Belle asked.
"They, as architects, should have shown their ability to welcome and showcase talents and new changes, not criticizing them." I said.
"Yes, My Lady." Belle said.
"Whatever. They finished the work that had been given to them?" I asked.
"Yes, My Lady." She said.
"Good." I said and started copying down the notes.
"My Lady!" Belle wailed.
"What is the matter?" I asked, taking a look at her.
"The work is finished. Your private Study Room is ready." She said.
I chuckled. "It is my study room which is ready. Why are you so interested in it?" I asked.
"I want to go see it, My Lady. You didn't allow me to look at the designs and nor did you give me the permission to take a look once the job was done." Belle said.
"Alright. Your statement is unarguable." I said and got up from my seat.
"Belle." I called. "Behind you, My Lady." She said.
Once we reached the entrance of my study room, Belle asked. "Can I open the door, My Lady?" She asked.
"Goodness, Belle. How many times should I tell you to use the word may not can. It is alright because it is me. But others wont show the same leniency." I said.
"But I don't get the difference between them." She said.
"Silly, can is ability while may is eloquence." I said.
"In reality My Lady, you have succeeded in making me more confused." Belle said and I shook my head.
"Can I take that bag? If you have the strength, you may take it. May I take that bag? Since you asked so, fine." I said and looked at Belle.
"Understood?" I asked.
For a moment, her face was blank. I was about to hit myself when her face shined like a sky that just got illuminated with the moon.
"Ah! What you mean is, Can depends on whether you can do it or not. But May is respect." She said.
"Exactly, My Belle. Thank Goodness, you didn't disappoint me." I said.
"Now, May I open the door?" Belle asked and I smiled.
"Yes, you may." I said and she smiled and opened the door.
"GODDESS!!" Her face was filled with shock. And I knew it would. And I wanted to see it with my own face. That was why I didn't allow her to look without me.
The sight in front of her eyes, made her eyes want to jump off those sockets.
A classic ancient style study room.
On the table there were, a pen stand, ink plate, ink grinder, fountain pens, brushes, globe and many papyrus.
Pen stand ad brushes. ^^
Fountain Pens ^^
Ink Grinder ^^
Globe ^^
The flooring was the entire map of the world.
And the most important part was the walls, which were not walls at all.
It was stacks for keeping books. All around me, north east west and south were books. Heaven!
"This is heaven, My Lady. Complete Heaven." She said.
"I know." I said and moved to the books.
"On the right side, it is filled with herbal books and the right side is filled with government studies. The north and south is filled with mathematics and science." I said.
"Obviously. Only My Lady will come up with this much of a genius plan." Belle said.
"And Belle. Here me properly. Except you and My Father, no one can get in this library on their own." She said.
"I am very grateful for this reward, My lady." She sad and bowed on her knees.
"Come on, Belle. What are you doing? You are like a sister to me. And sisters don't have this formality." I said and helped her up.
"Thank You, My Lady. I will dedicate my whole life to you. If you encounter any danger in the future, I will make sure that even if I die, you wont, My Lady." She said.
"Hush, Belle. We will go and try some teas. What do you say?" I asked and she nodded, gleefully.
