I shook my head. Wolves did not have last names, just a first we were called our first names than to which pack we were born into or entered.
"How can that be?"
She questioned more to herself than me, a puzzled look on her pretty face.
I blinked, confused for a short moment but realising a bit late that even though wolves have no last name, humans tend to have a last, even a middle or a nickname.
Still, this was best. These humans can give me a last name. There would be no problem because I wanted a comfortable life in this realm.
For the next few hours, I spoke with the maid, learning her name, merely one-word sentences.
The subject varying from her family and the mansion with the rank of the family and each long master.
Quite interesting were the first family which was overseen by the first mistress Lyra Pingui who had been bestowed the last name of the deceased previous family head.
She had two sons who are usually known as "'the first family firstborn eldest son Hyemi Pingui, the first family second-born son Hyuen Pingui"' the official greeting was extremely long but the first mistress was usually greeted "first family first mistress Pingui". Where we were announced and led by a manservant.
I'd thought that my home was extremely well made, but this was a totally different level.
"Step forward,"
I obeyed the command, trying my hardest to be as calm as possible.
"You arrival signals the beginning of the family feast, please have a seat."
"Thank you, f-first mistress."
My voice was soft, husky from disuse with the slight stuttering neither overbearing nor submissive a balance between the two to neither condemn myself foolishly.
The first mistress froze for a moment before smiling. A maid stepped for to guide me to my place.
"Our third master, before his death, had this home designed the way the third mistress wanted. The floor is made from black onyx from the maybe canyons in the far east, inlaid with abalone shells, this is throughout the house, while the clear glass you will find in the sunroom just around the corner to the right has been crafted using glass clad polycarbonate."
I nodded in understanding. In all actuality it was simply ballistic glass which was a strong type of glass. It would add a layer of protection giving them enough time to get away in case of danger.
Turning the corning, my gaze landed on the pool.
"This is the infinity pool, the length is thirty meters, but the main pool is ninety and can be used as well as you desire. It has an automatic filter system and is manually cleaned at dawn and then dusk.."
The maid explained further
Leading the way to the kitchen where I greeted a plump-looking cook, who will prepare morning, midday and evening meals or upon special request when needed.
They showed me, after that, the rooms designated for guests, baby room and the master bedroom.
"This is the master bedroom as the eldest you may sleep here and adjacent is the third young master' s room... Oh, before I forget this is your wristband..."
She went on to explain the features; heart rate monitor, alarm system alerting the owner when the body had dropped the number of nutrients needed to function properly for the day.
A call system with all emergency contacts including each master, purchases can be made via wristband your monthly allowance will be sent to your wristband in a few hours and Internet from a privately owned satellite, the screen can be pulled up to display everything in three-dimensional view once secured it can not be removed.
"...The wristband is also fire, waterproof. This band will be placed on the third young master to track his location, most features are included except for the fact it is baby proof and some features are locked due to his age preventing use until the required age...Recordings among other minor things, it was a system created for the family by the first family's master who had died a few years ago and improved by the first young master from the first family."
She continued to speak showing me while entering the toilet, passing through thick glass doors which slid back as we approached explaining things I was already aware of still having her continue to do her job. I looked around it was even more luxurious than the airport in the VIP area I had sneakily used several times.
