Aether looked at the boy, who had light brown hair and striking purple eyes. His expression was flat as he tried to hide Snowflake, his pet.
"Empress's Maid," Aether said, voice flat and accusatory.
The boy flinched and stammered, "W-What are you talking about? Empress's Maid? Who? Me? Of course not, I am not that revered, famous Marisandra Naiadia's Maid."
Aether wore an expression of 'You cannot be more obvious than this.'
The boy's face flushed even more as he continued, "B-Believe me... I am not—"
"Yeah, yeah... I believe you, Mr. Empress's Maid, so no need to worry," Aether replied nonchalantly.
"Sigh, I guess the cat's out of the bag," the boy said. In an instant, he transformed into a woman. Aether watched, slightly impressed at how quickly the disguise was shed and a maid's uniform appeared in place of the boy's attire.
