For the first time in months, Scarlet actually slept in. This could be attributed to exhaustion, wariness after absorbing the green flames into her body or the fact that she was in a bed that was so big, comfortable and under an actual roof in a house that was hers. She woke up at around nine o'clock with a smile on her face, yawning like a new born baby who had no worries.
Slowly, she took a shower, brushed her teeth and finally stepped out of the bedroom only to find seven maids as she had counted them waiting for her.

"Who is the oldest among you all?" She asked them.
They looked at each other and one red head stepped forward.
"What's your name and where are you from?" She asked.
