The maid bowed low in front of Amane. The maid did not want to lower her head more than she already had. But she had to do all this for the sake of her mission and future.
'Soon, I will be rid of both you and Sakura Tsurugi. Then, no one will be able to look down on me for being a maid.'
The maid thought to herself and sneered inside her mind. Meanwhile, she maintained a pitiful exterior so the other Elders would pity her and help her out.
The plan was solid in her mind and nothing could do wrong. Except, things did go wrong and the maid did not even get to step out of the corridor before she was stopped.
"Oh, and where do you think you are going? I have not dismissed you yet and you are still trying to run away? You truly have no manners."
The maid bit her lip to stop herself from speaking some truly awful words. She needed to calm herself down and think rationally about this.
