Kali was excited.
Not long ago, she received a call from Sol to talk about her punishment and the possibility of ending it.
Because of how stupid and hurried she had been, she joined the wings and helped them in their terrorist attack on Lustburg.
Kali knew that she had fucked up back then and the fact that her family didn't hate her for this was honestly more than she could have ever hoped.
The same went for Sol.
While he had every right to hold a grudge, he simply accepted her as she was after giving her the punishment of becoming a maid.
Truly a small punishment for the crime she committed.
Thinking of this, she twirled a little and looked at her maid uniform with a forlorn smile.
As weird as it was, she had strangely gotten used to her work and was in fact kind of liking it.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Even now, she smiled as she waved her hands at a few servants coming and going.
They were 'friends' if she could call them that and companions that helped her and taught her the ropes of the jobs.
They may not be close but they shared discussion and she had come to like the atmosphere in the tower which was unlike the competitive atmosphere in Salem.
Then again, it wasn't as if the tower was devoid of competition. All the maids dreamed of being embraced by Sol even once.
They knew that they would not be able to give birth to the royal child but simply having Sol have their lover meant that their life would be assured and they would never lack anything.
If Kali had still been as she was all those centuries ago when she first opened her eyes in this world, she would have found this way of thinking to be demeaning and stupid.
She would have also seen Sol as some sort of tyrant or nothing but a perverted pig.
Now though, she only saw him as a prince with a libido that was a little too high.
'I am going to miss this.'
She laughed a little as she remembered all the little tricks the women would use to be noticed by Sol.
They would also complain how Sol was becoming too tame lately and reduced his lustful actions.
'Hehe.'
Her laugh continued for a while before she stopped short and her gaze landed on a corner of the hallway.
'Who the …?'
She felt her hand itch at the sight of dust in the corner of the hallway. How could a maid leave such obvious trails?
Where are the newcomers?
'Nope. Forget it.'
At first, she walked past it.
It wasn't her problem anymore after all. She soon would be a maid no more.
Why did she have to care about how clean the Tower was?
'Well…'
In the end, though, she sighed as she walked back and started to search for cleaning tools.
"It will only take a minute."
She was sure that Sol wouldn't mind waiting a few minutes more and technically she was still a maid, right?
So there was nothing wrong nor special about her simply deciding to do her job.
At least this was what she continuously told herself.
.
.
.
One hour and cleaning a few more corners later,
"Phew! Sparkling clean!"
She grinned as she watched the now spotless place. With not even a hint of dust remaining.
The feeling of discomfort at the sight of the dust had been sweeping away alongside the dust and pride swelled in her chest for an instant before her mind snapped back to reality. Feeling a presence behind. She lowered her head with resignation.
"How long have you been here?"
She muttered, not looking behind her and hoping that she was somehow hallucinating.
Sadly for her…
"Since the moment you came back and said it would only take a minute."
"That literally since the beginning!?"
"Heh. I didn't know you could play the straight man."
Kali could only facepalm before crouching in embarrassment.
How could she let the others know that the Witches of Destruction, the terror of kingdoms, the woman who transcended elemental magic, was happy to play the maid?
'Ruined.'
She half sobbed while crouching down in a fetal position.
"Haha. Don't worry, I do not plan to say anything to anyone about what I saw."
"You … You promise?"
Kali looked up in hope as if Sol was a savior giving her a second chance.
"Don't worry. I promise."
"Great."
A few minutes later, after Kali finally calmed down, she cleared her throat, feeling embarrassed about the ugly and shameful way she acted earlier.
"So, Sol, why did you call for me?"
Sol laughed at the way she tried to change the topic of discussion but did not call her out.
"If I say Mecha, what do you say?"
Kali immediately stood up straight and even saluted.
"Ready to march, my captain!'
The way Kali's eyes twinkled as she looked at him made him feel like she had found the greatest treasure in the world.
'Well. Now I am curious about what she is going to do when she sees them.'
In a way, this was going to be very entertaining.
He could already imagine the incoming Manheim.
But his day was not finished for he had another lunatic genius to visit and ask for her assistance.
It was time to talk with the Duchess Arachne Milaris once again.
The last time such a meeting happened was when he went for the Duke's Visit.
Though one could also count the fact that he visited her about the presence of Pandora in her house.
As arrogant as it may sound, Milaris was perhaps one of the few women in the world he met who didn't have clear positive emotions towards him.
If he had to be honest. He didn't care one bit about this.
But he needed to make sure that her emotions would not be a problem despite her clear and absolute loyalty to Lustburg.
'Let's go.'
Hopefully, this was going to end well.
