Bab 159: Sumaru

Haah...

Even though the sun was shining high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the wintery landscape outside the windows, Lina couldn't help but sigh to herself as she began her daily duties as a maid.

The day was picture-perfect, yet the atmosphere within the room felt heavy, weighed down by an unseen burden.

Her routine had always been simple: cleaning, meticulously assisting her young lady, and tending to her appointed master.

Usually, by this time, her young lady would be either engrossed in a book or enjoying the morning coffee Lina prepared.

But now, everything was different. Her young lady, Seo, wasn't herself.

"Lady Seo, good morning!" Lina greeted, her voice lively and cheerful as she gently pulled back the blanket covering her young lady.

With a graceful and energetic smile, she tried to infuse some warmth and light into the room, hoping to lift Seo's spirits.
