บท 416: Little doubt

"Mistress, everything is perfectly ready," announced the Head Maid of Mariel, her voice reflecting a hint of disapproval.

"I-I see... We will be heading there shortly," Mariel replied, straightening her dress before stepping out of the room, the scent of naughty lingering behind.

"Hello, HeadMaid" Eli greeted with a wave as he followed Mariel.

"Tsk," the Head Maid clicked her tongue, her disdain palpable in her eyes as she acknowledged Eli's presence.

"Welcome... Sir," she forced out the words, her tone dripping with barely concealed animosity.

'She really can't stand me... well, can't blame her,' Eli thought to himself as he observed the middle-aged woman with red-blue hair.

"Do you have any siblings?" Eli inquired, a hint of scepticism in his voice as he considered the Head Maid's features. If she had horns, wings, and tails, she would bear a striking resemblance to Evelina, though Evelina was younger than this headmaid.
