Tired from the journey, Adam wearily entered the mansion. At the entrance, he was greeted by a corridor lined with maids who curtsied as he crossed the threshold. Their gazes were filled with adoration and a love that bordered on fanatical obsession. Their attachment to him made him feel good.
"Welcome home, master!" they exclaimed in unison, bowing.
Their movements were synchronized and extremely graceful.

These were maids who had been trained to perfection, shining brighter than any heavenly star.
