Arius gave me a tour of the castle. Of course not all of it, the place was too big for a one day tour. Just the places I needed to memorize.
I learned that it was a home to many people, not just the people from the town but from all over the country.
All the people who worked there were overly joyed to serve Arius. I saw a variety of maids and butlers. From different ethnics, different cultures and different races. Plus I saw someone I knew. Someone I rarely saw in the past but I was happy to see her.
The moment my eyes landed on her I recognized her.
"Ms Lebberly!" I waved at the maid who was walking in the corridor. She looked back at me, a bit confused but as she recognized me, rather than being happy she was taken aback.
"Azalea?" She was asking for my confirmation.
"Yes. It's me. It's been six years now."
"Oh! You've changed so much." Her tone changed, "Look at you, you're a fine lady now." She hugged me. "Did you meet Matthew?".
