ANNOYING HER

Astrid walked out of her room, looking exhausted, only to be greeted by the hustle and bustle of her living room. 

Maids were scurrying around the kitchen, cooking up a storm. Astrid's eyes widened in shock as she took in the scene.

"What in the name of heck is happening here?" Astrid asked, her voice laced with confusion.

"You are awake!" Maren's voice echoed from the kitchen. She sprinted out of the kitchen, a warm smile on her face. "I was starting to get worried."

Astrid's eyes narrowed, still trying to process the scene before her. "Mar... are you also like him, who can just find my house with a snap of his finger?" Astrid asked, her brow furrowed in confusion.

Maren chuckled, letting out her apron with a flourish. "Nope, he told me the direction to your home. Now, come taste my cooking!" She held out a spoon, gesturing for Astrid to take a bite.
