I Quit Being a Noble and Became a Commoner

I certainly wanted to avoid using a second hand lingerie shop. I usually received high quality fabric lingerie at the estate, so I bought some simple cotton ones. It was difficult to care for such luxurious and fluttery lingerie.

Next was the bag shop.

I chose 2 cheap and big bags. The big bags only came in black. It was a bit rugged for me to have, but there was nothing I could do about it. These were for both my hands, now I needed to pick a shoulder bag. I bought a light brown one with lots of pockets so that it could also be used for shopping.

I packed up the bags I bought and went home.

I went to the kitchen and helped the chefs for as long as I could.

This was the only thing I could do to repay all the people at the kitchen.

I cleaned up the gardener’s cabin. My heart squeezed at the thought of not being able to come here anymore.

There weren’t many things here, but my mother’s memento, her shawl was here. I asked the elder gardener couple to get rid of all the other household items in here. It would probably turn into money somehow. It was a shame that this was the only way I could repay them.

Lastly, I went to the gardener cabin shed. I moved the water jug that had accumulated a lot of water and removed a board from the floor.

There was a small flower vase under the board. Inside was some cash. It was the money that mother and I had done our best to save. I’m glad, no one has stolen it. I transferred it into my wallet. I’ll make good use of it at my new place.

The days passed by in the blink of an eye.

I woke up in a good mood. Today is my birthday. It is the day when I’m no longer a noble.

Yesterday I cleaned every nook and cranny of the room I’ve been using for so many years. I wiped the floors and washed the faded curtains. Let’s overlook washing the sheets I used last night.

I look around the room again. I brush my hands gently across the desk, chair and window frames.

I change into a maid-like outfit.

Then I take a big deep breath and head to help with breakfast.
