The next morning, as expected, Mineah was fast asleep well past her usual schedule. If not for her three Shadow Maidens who barged in when they called for her and heard no response, she would probably still be getting her beauty sleep.
"Milady, you scared us," Zaila murmured. "How come you still woke up late when we clearly left you early last night?"
Instead of replying, Mineah just yawned as she lazily got up from bed. Eventually, her three Shadow Maidens simply shrugged before preparing for her usual routine.
"Is Nikolai back?" she asked.
"Not yet, milady," Krisha replied.
"How about his Shadow Knights?" she further asked. "Has any of you talked to them yet?"
"No one, milady," Dani regretfully replied. "We were unable to find nor call for them, unfortunately."
Mineah frowned at the news. Still, she knew that those knights should be around her somewhere.
