Cai nodded and talked with the blushing attendant. This saddens Cassey, who was obviously recognized and ignored by the worker.
‘She does not talk to me nor ask for my opinions because she is hostile to a former detainee.’
What she had thought was indeed true. As the attendant returned to the pantry to fill the goblets with lukewarm water, the other attendants went near her.

“Navis?”The child who was just grumpily stomping her feet earlier suddenly turned into a happy lamb.“Mom?”Cassey was flustered being called ‘mom’ in front of everyone, especially when all her pupils looked at her with such sparkling eyes and wagged their tails like cute doggies.“Ah, uhm, she calls me ‘mom’ because I fed her.”“You fed her, mom?”Now how should Cassey explain to these poor young children that she was called ‘mom’ for a really trivial thing?“Yes, she called me ‘mom’ for feeding them.”“So you were the woman who gave her the seeds?”“The angel who bought us meat!”“The hero who named Navis!”“A dragon tamer!”“Wait that’s a bit... if the clergy heard that I might be punished to death.”“She is our

Those eyes are not as brilliant as Ashanti’s but they shine on their own.“You have been staring for a while.”Cassey flinched. His voice was deeper than anyone else, but she felt it was really familiar. It must be because she met him already before.“I am sorry. This humble servant could not help but stare at your eyes.”He lifted the end of his lips.“I know who you are, and that you are not a humble servant just like what you claim to be. So, be at ease, Lady. We are here for a cooperation.”“It seems that you have known each other already.”“We haven’t, Headmistress.”“The lady was right. It was

However, to be sure, I’ll just enter using the back door. “Miss Cassey, your things have been unloaded. I will now bring them inside.” “Thank you Fred. Please use the back door just as I have said.” He bowed and started moving. I fixed my hair and bit my lips to gather some blood and hide my paleness. I must look presentable, at least to Ashanti. She must have been very happy to be proclaimed as the esteemed daughter. Thinking about it makes me smile. I should greet her later. “Lady Cassey...” I stared at the woman in front of me.
