“This is Master Bradons’ idea and order,” Jenna said with a smile.

“Thank you very much, My Lady!” Bella exclaimed excitedly.

I had no idea why she looked so happy but I was glad for her. Having an enthusiastic and friendly maid could go a long way in helping out with my life. I also didn’t want to dampen her spirits with any cruel or suspicious remarks about the work that she had been assigned.
