บท 389: Ice Cold Maiden

(Kiyomi POV)

I watched Marie clean up our room with the practiced grace of someone having done it a million times. Every single bedsheet was folded and changed within seconds, all of them done quickly and perfectly.

"I assume you are married?" I asked her, having been watching her from the doorway without her knowledge.

She jumped a little at my voice, most likely surprised by my presence since I did not announce myself.

"Oh! Mistress Kiyomi! Apologies, I did not notice you! Umm… I'm afraid I am still single, Mistress. Is there a problem?"

I frowned internally at her answer.

I was hoping she might have been taken since that would mean one less possible interference for us. It seems like all these Sects were hoping to use these girls to gain Master's favour by seducing Him, not that we would allow that to happen of course.
