"Lady Lena," the old housekeeper of the Mowish family looked at the elf before him, his brow deeply furrowed not because she was shirking her duties, but because she was... too industrious.
Ever since Lady Anna arrived two days ago, her exclusive maid appeared within the Golden Palace, acting like the pickiest of guests, yet also like the strictest of maestresses. She cleaned one room after another, attending to every corner that the regular maids couldn't possibly have time for, even repurposing the trophy room of previous kings and dukes—polishing those trophies and sweeping every nook, like a tireless machine.
Upon hearing his call, the elf turned around. Though she wore a beautiful gown, an apron for cleaning was draped over it. A discordant combination but unexpectedly charming, even her headband seemed like an ornamental addition.
The old housekeeper had heard his own master mention this outfit more than once, expressing a desire to have their maids dressed similarly.
