Luke-Warm Welcome

The interior of the main mansion was glorious.

A line-up of maids could be said standing from the doorway as they all bowed at the entrance.

"Welcome back," they all said in unison. In light of Setkh's presence, it seemed like they expressed this welcome as vaguely as possible in order to not offend everyone or openly express their disapproval.

This was the Head Maid's idea.

She stood between the two rows of maids and bowed as well, her hearty smile and attitude as she welcomed Stylla who was in the lead, depicting how much she cared for this lady.

The fiery haired woman patted the maid's shoulder with a cheery smile.

"It hasn't been that long Arisa," Stylla said with muffled laugh.

Setkh would have loved to scoff at this too, but that wouldn't do him any good.
