Also, I know it's a late reply, but It was also mentioned that she tried to convince Master to make friends or get married.@Ironclad how many years do you think it took for collete to gain the lady's trust after she gave up on trusting people. how many years of being by her side without giving up. i would think at the very least 12 years. remember she let go of all the servants except collete and i am willing to bet that is because collete chose to stay. she probably didn't care about being payed her main focus was most likely to regain the lady's trust, to be there and take care of her. do you think she could help the lady without the lady's trust? its not as simple as you make it out to be. she has probably been working on helping the lady for all these years and only now has it gotten to the point where she can actually do something
