Chapter 1 - My Maid in the Morning

It was exactly 6:30 am when I knocked on the double door of the young master. Without waiting for an answer I swung the right side of the door open and entered the room while pushing the trolley in. The first thing I recognized was the darkness which filled the room, the only light source came from the opened door, so I put the trolley next to a small table in the middle of the room and made my way to the window, then slowly pushed the curtains aside. The morning sunshine came into the room and soon started to tickle the sleeping face of a brunette. It didn't take long and he opened his eyes, but closed it immediately since they weren't adjusted to the light.

"I wish you a good morning young master, Shindou-sama."

After hearing my greetings he rose from the bed and sat straight up. He let out a small yawn and started to stretch a bit.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that? Ki-ri-no." He gave me a warm smile and I returned it with a the same gesture. "Young master, I appreciate the kindness, however it would be rude for a simple maid like me to use such an impolite speech."

I made a small bow, turned around and went to the trolley. Using both of my hands I easily lifted up the tablet with the breakfast and placed it on the small table. While pouring the lemon honey tea in a Worcester cup, Shindou crowed out of his king sized bed, wearing his white pajama, he putted on some house shoes and came to my direction.

"Smells good! What did my dearly maid cooked this time for breakfast?" He moved the chair back and sat down on it.
Watching me how I added a spoon of crystallized sugar into the teacup.
"Packed with much love, I made a combination of the British and French breakfast. Hopefully you would enjoy it, Shindou-sama."

With this words I excused myself and planned to go out to let him have his privacy.
Plan failed. He grabbed my arm to hinder me from leavingt. His cheeks a bit red and eyes fixed somewhere on the opposite side from me, he shuttered some unclear words out.

"Shindou-sama, did you catch a cold?" I was actually a bit worried about him, but telling him that would only proves that I do care for him and that would be a loss of my pride when Shindou would have a satisfied grin over his face. Putting my own feelings and thoughts over the situation I put my hand on his forehead. The temperature seemed normal, but I clearly could see that his face turned even more red than it was before.

"K- Kirino!" A gasp and a movement back caused the young master to lose his balance on the chair. Since he still has the grip on my arm I got pulled down and when he felt, I directly landed on him. My position simple said, was that my upper body was resting on his chest.

Thump. I heard it, his heartbeat was the only thought I had. Thump-Thump-Thump, oh damn, is that my heartbeat?

I literally jumped up. "My apologize! Shindou." It was more of a shout than and apologizing voice, but at this time I don't care, my mind isn't working right.
Hiding my face was no use, I felt the heat coming up, so I ran out of the room.

" Ah! Kirino!"

The only answer he got was the sound of a slammed door. Rubbing his back of his head he mumbled to himself. "Thanks for waking me up and the breakfast."
Now curse me who is standing on the other side of the door and just resemble a tomato.

No no no no-

Don't take it wrong, it is nice that he treats me so well, but the problem lies by me - I don't deserve it. While he is the prince of the castle, I am the a simple maid, there is no way that I can fit his standards.

Oh, I haven't introduced myself, Kirino Ranmaru. 15 years old, one younger sister, single and most important would be that I am a male. Having rose hair bounded to twin pigtail and a face of a girl made it possible for me to work as a maid.
The good thing about working as a maid is that I finally can earn enough for our living, but it the prize I have to pay is to hide my gender. Which results that the young master thinks that I'm a girl.
