"Your tea, my lady."
Gilda brought her the tea shortly after Benjamin left to see over the land. He wanted to see the situation of the nearby villages and towns after the thought of winter and the mild spring that had passed. There was no inspection last autumn nor last summer as he was busy trying to get her hand in marriage. Even now he didn't intend to spend too much time away for which Iris was grateful.
"Thank you, Gilda. How lucky I am to have someone like you take care of me," Iris smiled gently at her maid. "How are the girls doing?"
"We found good places for them to work and they're doing fine. Eira is always happy after serving your ladyship."
"That's good to know. I am also content with her. She is such a sweet child."
Iris paused to think about her little maid who would always greet her with a large smile on her face and hurry to complete her assigned tasks.
"If there is nothing else, you may continue with their supervision."
"As you wish, my lady."
