Mira is a diligent maid who works at Rainsa House. She is 49 years old and has been working here since she was 15. Her mother and grandmother also worked here, so this is a family tradition.
Mira's job involves managing all the people who work at Rainsa House, and she is also responsible for any guests who come to the house.
She is responsible for Maris, ensuring that Maris has a good stay at the house.
One morning, she headed to Maris's room to wake her up, ask if she needed anything else, and inform her about breakfast time.
When she reached the guest room, she saw that the door was half open. Mira looked inside, and her eyes widened in shock. She opened the door fully and walked in.
What she saw before her was something she would never forget in her life.
Trino, the future head of the Rainsa family, was naked, with his hands and legs positioned in a very inappropriate manner. His head and spine were bent forward, making his head just a few centimeters away from his genital area.
"Meow."
And... on the bed, there was a large stuffed cat sitting with a contented look on its face.
Mira looked outside, glancing left and right to make sure there was no one around. Once she was certain, she closed the door and turned back inside.
"Young master," she called out as she began to untie Trino. After freeing him, she looked around for his clothes, but they were all tattered and unsuitable to wear.
"Hm, now what should I do?" Mira had watched Trino grow up, and she understood him well. He would never do anything evil, but Maris was too beautiful. Mira could understand why Trino lost his reasoning and ended up in this situation.
Maris wasn't in the room, so she must have been outside all night. Besides the stuffed toy, no one else knew about this.
Mira decided to keep it a secret. She took a bedsheet and covered Trino.
"I can't take him away myself... I have to inform the head," Mira muttered, and then she went to do just that.
While Mira was away to inform the head of the house, Maris and Sarina entered the room and saw what had happened.
Soon after, the head of the house arrived and sent Trino to his room, where Trino's mother stayed with him.
Trico, the head of the house, Maris, and Sarina gathered in the main hall.
The incident was too shocking, and something Trico didn't know how to handle. His eldest son had tried to assault his stepsister on her first day, and his stepsister wasn't just a normal beautiful woman but a saint.
If this news got out, the Rainsa House would collapse. Trico knew he must not let this news leak.
"I deeply apologize for my son's outrageous actions! I am truly sorry!"
First of all, Trico needed to apologize to Maris. He needed the saint's forgiveness.
"I will impose severe punishment on my son. He can even be disinherited. So, please, could we handle this matter privately?"
"What are you saying, Father!"
It wasn't Maris but Sarina, who was present, who raised her voice.
"Maris was nearly assaulted by her brother and was terribly frightened! It is unacceptable to cover up such an incident!"
Sarina said this with a raised voice, appearing very angry. In reality, she didn't care. Although it had only been one day, Sarina understood Maris very well. She knew Maris would handle this privately, so she decided to go against her father to win some points. Moreover, she also hated her brother now. No matter what, trying to assault a woman is the worst thing a man can do.
"Ugh..."
Trico, who didn't know what Sarina was thinking, wanted to put a cloth down her throat to make her shut up.
Trico thought internally, "Just what happened in one day? Sarina had grown surprisingly attached to Maris and was now holding her tightly." Moreover, Maris had not suffered any harm. When Trino sneaked into Maris's room, she was staying in Sarina's room and spent the entire night there.
"B-but... if this continues, the Rainsa family will..."
"Father, please raise your head."
"Saint Maris?"
Maris, still in Sarina's arms, smiled softly.
"Let us keep this matter to ourselves. There is no need to make a fuss."
"I-is that really okay?"
"Saint Maris, is it really alright?"
"Yes, I don't mind."
Maris smiled warmly at everyone present, her eyes filled with compassion.
"I am already a member of the Rainsa family. I do not wish to excessively blame my family for their mistakes. As long as Brother Trino reflects on his actions, that is enough. There is no need for disinheritance. Please do not impose severe punishment."
"I-I understand... I will make sure Trino reflects on his actions."
Maris smiled. She had learned a technique that could attack any person trying to touch her with impure thoughts. Before the person could touch her, the technique would activate and attack them.
So, even if she had been in the room, Trino couldn't have done anything and might have injured himself more than what the stuffed cat toy had done.
Maris could use this incident to control the Rainsa family in the future, so it was better to keep it private.
After this matter was resolved, Maris planned to continue her journey.
