The Dream of Becoming a Maid

I have been kicked out of the house by my sister.

However, I don’t feel too lost.

This kind of situation is quite normal.

A passionate young man with dreams, not wanting to inherit the family business, has a big argument with his family and finally runs away from home to strive for his dreams.

There are many examples like this.

Moreover, she is giving up her identity as a noble young master to become a servant, so it’s normal that her family wouldn’t understand.

But Aliciel doesn’t regret it.

On the contrary, without the constraints and restrictions of the family, she has more freedom to pursue her dreams.

Although she was kicked out of the house, Aliciel had already prepared to become a maid in advance.

Near Silvermoon Square, she had purchased a two-story house when she was still a man, redecorating it with reference to that maid café from back then.

Now, it’s ready to open.

The second floor is used for accommodation.

Her closet is already full of maid outfits, and she has always been looking forward to the day she could wear them.

She had never worn them before.

If she wore those maid outfits as a man, it wouldn’t count as being a real maid.

She wanted to save her first time for when she was truly ready.

And today, she can finally wear these sacred maid outfits!

Standing in front of the mirror, Aliciel excitedly held her chest, looking at the beautiful girl in the mirror.

Whether it was the waist-length silver-white hair, or the beautiful amber-like golden eyes, or that exquisite face.

Plus, the maid outfit consisting of a black and white dress, a white frilly apron, and a lace-trimmed Katyusha.

The slender, beautiful legs beneath the skirt were wrapped in tights, and delicate, petite jade feet lightly stepped into leather shoes.

Everything was so perfect.

Aliciel was very satisfied with her reflection.

“Can you see it, Senior…”

“I… will inherit your mantle.”

Aliciel gently stroked the smooth mirror surface.

In a daze, a figure appeared before her eyes, the very person who inspired Aliciel to dream of becoming a maid.

It was five years ago.

———

This shop was also a maid café five years ago.

It was highly praised for its novel decor and excellent service.

Every day, you could see pretty young ladies in maid outfits moving about the shop, behaving elegantly, speaking gently, and being kind.

Their etiquette was so refined that even the royal maids were no match for them.

At that time, the still-young Aliciel liked to visit that café.

Although she could also enjoy more attentive service and care from maids at home, the atmosphere was completely different.

The only pity was that she always went alone.

Even if she wanted to invite classmates, few were willing to accept the invitation.

Aliciel never had a close friend.

For a long time, she was alone.

She didn’t understand why no one wanted to befriend her.

She was clearly the young master of House Cosmos.

In terms of status and position, she could be called extremely noble throughout the Theia Theocracy, but she didn’t even have a friend, only some petty people who flattered her for her family’s wealth and power.

She disdained befriending those petty people, preferring to make close friends, but she made no progress.

After several setbacks, she gave up and got used to being alone, but she still felt a little lonely in her heart.

So, she often chatted with the maids at this shop to relieve her boredom.

She didn’t chat with the maids at home because she was worried that they would be gossipy and spread the word to her sister, causing her some unnecessary trouble.

“What’s wrong? Master, you look troubled.”

“Did you encounter any problems again?”

A clear, chime-like voice rang in her ears.

She tilted her head slightly, and a familiar but blurry face came into view.

She was the manager of this maid café, calling herself the Head Maid.

Her name was unknown.

Aliciel couldn’t even remember what she looked like.

That memory had become particularly vague.

She only remembered the confident yet gentle smile on her lips.

“I… got rejected again.”

The young boy habitually complained, as always, failing to make friends.

“Today, a specially invited student from a poor family came to the class.”

“I saw that he was all alone, so I wanted to befriend him.”

“I gave him 100,000 Star Coins, but he didn’t want a single one and even scolded me.”

“Why?

I don’t understand.”

The Head Maid smiled, knelt down, and maintained the posture of looking up at Aliciel.

She didn’t rush to comfort him, but just listened quietly.

“Hey, Head Maid, I wish I had mind-reading abilities.”

“That way, I could understand what others are thinking.”

“I see.

Is Master troubled by making friends and communicating?”

“Actually, Master can understand what others are thinking even without mind-reading.”

“Oh?

How?

Can you teach me?”

“Of course.”

“Actually, the method is very simple.

Just lower your stance like me.”

“Lower… my stance?”

“Rumble—!”

Before Aliciel could carefully consider the meaning of those words, a deafening roar broke the silence.

A dazzling light suddenly rose from outside the window, instantly turning into a deep, purplish-blue glow.

The shockwave from the explosion shattered all the glass on the street, and the sound of splintering glass was incessant.

Drawn by the explosion, Aliciel subconsciously turned her head and saw a dark, purplish-blue ripple rushing towards her like lightning, instantly shattering the French windows and magnifying in her vision along with shards of glass.

“It’s over!”

At that moment, Aliciel deeply felt the threat of death.

There was no room for resistance.

She could only despairingly welcome her demise.

After all, she was just a mortal.

Although she was the young master of House Cosmos, she didn’t have the aptitude for cultivation.

She couldn’t inherit the Star Dragon Secret Art passed down through the generations of her family.

Faced with this shockwave, she would definitely be torn to pieces in an instant!

“Bang—!”

However, the next second, Aliciel only felt a blur before her eyes, and a slender, graceful figure stood in front of her.

Delicate jade fingers encased in black silk gloves were slightly raised, and a paper-thin barrier condensed at the fingertips, blocking the incoming shockwave and glass shards.

“Oh dear, that won’t do.”

“If Master gets hurt, the maid will be derelict in her duty.”

Standing in front of Aliciel was none other than the Head Maid who had just been kneeling and listening.

Her silver-white hair and lace skirt fluttered in the wind, and the flames from the explosion coated her with a layer of light.

Under the light, she seemed less like a maid and more like an invincible Valkyrie.

“Please wait a moment, my master.”

“It’s time to clean up.”
