"MY LADY, Sir Kiho has returned."
Tilly literally dropped what she was doing (stitching a white handkerchief) when she heard the news from Leni, and then stood up. She was shocked because when they were talking via their communication device last night, Kiho told her that he'd be home the day after tomorrow. "He's already here?"
"Yes, my lady," Leni confirmed. "The other servants have assembled in the main entrance to greet the master."
She immediately bolted out of the room.
If her father saw her running down the grand staircase, she would definitely get scolded. After all, running when your life wasn't in danger was considered "unladylike." She was trying her best to fit in this world again but her second life as a modern woman had changed a lot of things about her personality and beliefs.
And most of all, she just really couldn't wait to see Kiho again after twelve lonely days of being apart.
