Lida nodded and stood. "As you wish, My Lady," she said so softly that only the woman across from her could here. Then she left and went to the kitchens to continue her work until the right times. The other servants asked her what the mistress wanted but she said nothing and refused to say anything about it, even to her best friends. A few others were called out and they, too, refused to speak on it. She wasn't sure if any of them would leave and she could vouch for all of them, should it be necessary.<br/><br/>When the time came that she had to go see the mistress she went to where she had been directed and knocked, waiting for an answer. She, idly, wondered why she had been called here. More than likely, it was to discuss whether or not she would be kept. She sincerely hoped that she would remain, if only to see the mistress she had come to be rather fond of. She was too scared to mention anything to anyone, lest she get a beating from the Lord or the mistress. She constantly worried about it and usually kept herself out of trouble in order to prevent her from being beaten.
