Ivita stepped into the mirror space, while the Old Witch instructed four maids in the castle and their assistant, Alysia, to prepare the blood of a pure white medium-sized dog and the blood of five non-pregnant hens.
Alysia had now risen to become the head maid in the castle.
Because she had outstanding abilities and a clean background.
Alysia, dressed in a maid's outfit, bowed her head and led the four maids out of Ivita's study.
Alysia understood that the opportunity she was given was not an easy one; to seize it, she needed to avoid mistakes and gain experience from handling the multitude of small tasks within the castle.
Stepping out of the study, Alysia lifted her head and seriously instructed the four maids, "Do you understand? Do as His Lordship requested, use the best silver goblets in the castle to collect the chicken and dog blood."
The four maids were somewhat scared.
