Chapter 101: Chapter 101 – Settling down

Feng poked her head out of her door, glancing at lady Perlin and Hiliana chatting seriously. ‘I guess their plan to win over the twin did not work. Maybe I should go talk to Ethan and Aiden once.’

But before that, she needed to change out of her winter wear badly. The inside of the house was warm and all those layers added weight and was heating up her body too much.

She pealed layers after layers and ran to the bed.

The side of the room was bigger than the private condo she owned. Thankfully, this place had an attached bathroom. She cheerfully ran in.

The inside of the bathroom was much more splendid. The walls were covered in what looked like opal.... every brick was covered in it.

‘Darn this place is not home rather a treasure house....’ she mumbled, fearing to touch the sparking stones. She moved to the sink and glanced up.

She was barely tall enough to look at the top of her head. And the sink.... it was out of reach. ‘Darn it, why am I so short. I need to train a lot more and become taller,’ she thought as she struggled to wash her face.

.....

Unlike the ship, this place had an operational tap. But.... the tap was not connected by any kind of pipe.

It was connected to nothing!

It was just levitating with a weird sign glowing in it.

‘Goodness’ power of magic is really great. I wish I was a spell master... but... time mage is not a bad thing either..’ she thought with a soft smile.

With difficulty, she cleaned her face and hands...

“Now where are my clothes...” she ran to the nearby door inside the bathroom. It opened to a wider room with tons of clothes...

“umm.... these are not mine,” she took one of them off the rack. It was definitely her sized clothes. “Okay, I think they might be intended to be mine.” She twirled around with it.

The dress fluttered softly with each of her turn.

“It’s cool. I guess..” she picked this one white dress that was shaped like a flower. The skirt flared out and moved in a beautiful manner. She carefully held it and ran to the bath.

It had the same levitating tap. She opened it and warm water flowed out of it magically.

She striped off all her clothes and jumped in.

Right then, there was a soft knock on her door. “Lady Rofles... can I come in?”

“Come in!!” she shouted. “Wait, don’t come in. I am taking a bath,”

The maid hesitantly stood by the bathroom door. “Lady, I was asked to assist you with your bath and dressing,”

“You can help me with my clothes but not my bath.” She shouted so that she can hear.

“Yes young lady,”

Feng Mei sighed loudly, leaning against the head of the tub. It was big for her, but she was thoroughly enjoying the hot water washing the grime and salt build-up off her skin.

“It would be better with some rose oil though,” she muttered softly, sloshing the water around.

But the maid heard her whisper so easily. “I’ll get you some miss,”

Feng sat up. ‘How did she hear my words so easily? I guess she must have some kind of super hearing powers,’ she thought, leaning back against the tub.

Soon, the new maid came back and knocked on her bathroom door. “May I come in?”

Feng pulled a towel over her and called her in.

A young girl about eighteen walked in. Her hair was tied in a neat bun behind her with not a stray hair in sight. Her maid outfit, which came down to her ankles, did not even have a small wrinkle.

‘Gosh, she is perfect...’ she sat up.

The maid moved close with her eyes lowered. “This is the oil, young lady,”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Thanks~” Feng happily took it from her.

The maid looked up in surprise.

“Is there a problem?” Feng Mei looked at her with her brow raised.

“N-no, I was just surprised that you thanked me...” she mumbled, but all of a sudden she knelt down. “Sorry young lady, I was wrong. Please don’t complain to our head maid. If I get fired, I wouldn’t be able to feed my little sisters,”

“Whoa. Get up, I won’t tell anyone. Beside you did not do anything wrong. Why would I complain about you,” Feng tugged at her puffed sleeve.

The young gal stood up, dazed. “But.... but I doubted my master’s magnanimous character,”

Feng Mei frowned. “I am not magnanimous. I said thank you because I was really thankful for your help and the help I am going to get from you in the future,”

The girl blushed red. “It’s an honor, young lady. Shall I help wash your back?”

“Nope, but you can help me dry my hair,” she mumbled with a small smile. Her hair had grown a bit. It came down to her waist.

It was still thin and mousy but at least it was healthy and shiny now from all the care she put into her food intake.

The little maid sat down by the head of the tub and started to dry her hair.

“What is your name?” fen glanced back.

“My name is Lana, young lady,”

“Lana... sound cute. I’m Feng Mei. It’s nice to meet you,”

The young maid smiled widely. “It really is good to meet your young lady,”

“You can call me Feng, just like the others.”

The maid’s hands paused. “I can’t, young lady. You see, I am just a rank F mage and a lower level maid of this mansion. I don’t have the right to call a young lady’s distinguished name,”

Feng sat up, covering his flat boobs with a towel. “You can call my name when it’s just us. I promise not to tell it’s our secret,” she held out her pinkie.

Lana thought for a while and connected her pinkie with hers awkwardly. “P-promise..”

“Great, now let’s get dressed for the lady. I need to have a talk with two little brats,”

‘I also have to warn them..... their new father might not be a good guy...’
