Sandrina is a maid working in Fort brova.
To tell the truth, as a squib, it is not only difficult to receive normal wizard education in the magic world, but also very difficult to find a job for survival.
Therefore, having nothing to do with the brova family, she can be taken in by some chance and work steadily here as a maid, which is undoubtedly a great kindness to her.
Perhaps it is out of this gratitude to the brova family that young Sandrina works diligently every day. She usually gets up first in the morning and often sleeps later than most maids at night.
For example, these nights, no matter how late Maka and the three of them came back, they could see her and the old housekeeper waiting silently in the corridor and the hall.
Of course it's the same tonight.
Kingsley had come back before. As he passed the only way to connect the hall and the stairs, Sandrina stood there and asked softly whether he needed supper or not. Even though they don't usually eat very much at night, Maka still asks attentively every night.
As for now... It's more than two hours since Kingsley came back, and it's late at night. To be honest, Sandrina is already very sleepy. Just standing there, her eyelids can't help falling down.
But she still hung her head slightly and stood in place, holding the position that a maid should have, almost without losing shape at all.
"Sandrina?"
It was so cold that a voice sounded not far in front of her that her whole person, who was just dozing, trembled slightly.
The next moment, I saw her quickly raise her head and look at it. Then she immediately leaned over and bowed her head and said:
"Sorry, Mr. housekeeper, I..."
"No, no, there's nothing to apologize for," the old housekeeper who came to see her gently waved his hand. "Sandrina, if you're sleepy, go to bed first! After all, even if you've been waiting here, you may not be able to see Mr. McLean when he comes back."
"How... Can it," Sandrina shook her head. "As you said, Mr. housekeeper, Mr. McLean is the most distinguished guest of our brova family - so even if he is likely to miss it, he comes back late tonight. What if he gets hungry by chance? I'd better stay here!"
"Well," the old housekeeper thought after touching the white beard on his upper lip, "then take a half day off tomorrow morning! Have a good sleep... It's not only for your health, but also for better work."
After saying this, the old housekeeper immediately turned and left.
Behind him, Sandrina looked at the housekeeper who left slowly, and couldn't help but sip her mouth a little - didn't the housekeeper stay so late himself? The old housekeeper is old now. Perhaps he needs rest most.
While Sandrina was thinking so, the old housekeeper who had just returned to the side door of the hall suddenly leaned over and saluted in a certain direction in the hall.
Then the old housekeeper said:
"Welcome back... Oh, Mr. schacker has gone back to his room to rest -"
Just after saying this, the old housekeeper suddenly seemed to think of something. He hurried back and waved to Sandrina.
At the sight of the smart Sandrina, she stepped forward quickly and stood behind the old housekeeper and looked at the hall outside. After that, I saw that she also bowed down with the old housekeeper.
"Welcome back, gentlemen - do you need supper or a bath?"
Now outside, it is Marca and Delphi who have just returned from the Royal Manor. While Sandrina was talking, the old housekeeper had quietly retreated to this side, smiled at Sandrina and politely asked Marca for help.
"Oh! I really want to take a bath, but I still have a lot of things to do. Forget it today!" Marca shrugged and looked at Sandrina. "You look much more tired than me, or you'll go to the bathroom instead of me!"
It seemed to Sandrina that Mr. McLean was really busy. After a little joke with himself, the other party took the extraordinarily beautiful "companion" and passed her and the old housekeeper by mistake and went to the other end of the corridor.
"Fortunately, Mr. McLean is not late tonight... Sandrina, go to bed! Remember to rest tomorrow morning, okay?" said the old housekeeper
"By the way, I think Mr. McLean is right - you take a bath and sleep well, which is quite helpful for sleep."
The old housekeeper nodded to Sandrina and turned back again.
Sandrina, who had just been advised to take a bath by two people in a row, hesitated for a moment, as if she really wanted to take a dip in the bathroom and relax. Hesitantly, she took a light step and walked towards the bathroom.
……
"Wait so late?"
Maka, who had just left there, suddenly nodded with emotion and muttered to herself. When Delphi heard this, she couldn't help explaining to Maka:
"She's here every night. Dad, you always walk outside the hall when you come back, so you seldom see her?"
"Every day?" Marca nodded. "It's really not easy... Well, I'm beginning to think it's really bad to come back too late."
Having said that, he just said that. Even if he doesn't want to do something, it's not easy to put it down.
"Delphi, you don't have to go with me. Go and have a rest!"
As she passed the stairs upstairs, Marca stopped a little and watched Delphi go upstairs. When I couldn't see each other's figure, I turned and continued to go to the tower where I lived.
"Ah... Let's continue to study the mirror of phagocytosis!"
The unfinished work is still as high as a mountain. No matter whether others sleep or not, Maka should work all night today.
"Oh, I seem to sleep soundly."
As she passed the second floor where Ernst was located, Maka looked at each other's room and nodded with a smile. Then he went up the stairs and went back to the room where he had been staring at the devouring mirror.
At about the same time, Sandrina had packed her clothes and walked into the bathroom dedicated to the servants. The bathtub, which is almost no smaller than the main bathroom, and a variety of complete supplies and facilities show the preferential treatment of the brova family to their servants.
