Smiling, she began stroking Kiki's black hair, mesmerized by its softness. This was her first time noticing her hair, and it was due to her current situation. Kiki would make an excellent princess if she were one, she had lovely features but chose to hide them due to her maid status.

"I am here," she whispered, stroking her hair, not wanting the sensation to end. Speaking of soft, Elias' black hair looked soft as well, would it be comfortable to stroke? Wait, why was she thinking about that man so early in the morning?

"My lady!" Tessa, who was lost in thought, did not notice the now wide-open eyes staring at her with happiness in them.
