The day Ophelia spent with Yulia Novikov was much more peaceful than she had anticipated. 

The castle included a spa facility, and Yulia's maids, who were surprisingly warm and hospitable, were there as well. Although she didn't find them to be stiff at all, she couldn't help but wonder whether Yulia's presence might have had an impact.

The old age of the servants was advantageous for Yulia.

After the spa, The servants took care of them and dressed them for the evening.

The oldest maid present, an omega wolf in her middle years, was carefully brushing Ophelia's hair, removing any knots as she sat on the bed wearing a deep blue nightgown. 

The second maid was getting Yulia ready while she was chatting and blabbering at her. 

The maids laughed, following her every word. She was obviously accustomed to her chatter.
