After what felt like an eternity, the two ladies were finally in the Carlile household. Well, who wouldn't think that when Maria had just persuaded someone to guide her down the secret path to this place
"Like I told you, Illiana, there were some advantages to having this servant of mine always come to your household with me, so never say I'll never need anyone, okay?"
"Well, if you think so, then I don't have a choice, do I?"
The two ladies talked while holding on to their lower garments to avoid touching the grasses. Maria's servant was young, he was adopted by her household only to be the lady's servant. Growing up, the two bonded well and Maria could use someone like him
In the past she considered him her only servant, but over time she can no longer define what she wanted to do with the servant next to her. As she grew up, she found that the small child who was the same as she was in the past had now grown into a full adult.
