"Young miss," the butler saw her first. "You have returned." He said with a smile. 

Christmas music was still playing loudly in the house and the smells of different foods were wafting all around. She could not help herself; she sniffed the air twice like a dog.

Blackguard knew this and he took advantage of it daily wholeheartedly.

"Has anything happened while I was gone?" she asked the butler.
