Naturally, besides Laisha and Lasha, Shien had stories with many, many other people as well.
And those returning to House Poztut included not only Lasha, but also someone else whom Shien had been looking forward to seeing for a long time.
Just as Shien was about to enter the dining room, he stopped, thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lasha.
Seeing this, Lasha immediately spoke.
"I shall wake Miss Lilith, then inform Miss Vivian, Miss Tier, Miss Lumya, and the others that breakfast is ready. Please arrive at the dining room in thirty minutes, Master."
With that, Lasha decisively withdrew and vanished without a trace before long.
Shien stared after her, dumbfounded.
".I haven't even said anything yet."
His feelings were extremely complicated.
The head maid at home was simply too capable. She could even see through her master's thoughts. What was he supposed to do about that?
Should he be happy that someone understood him, or saddened that he was so easy to read?
But thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be... probably, perhaps, quite a few people who could understand what was in his heart?
Remembering a certain Goddess who had once again disappeared without a word and the most beautiful Demon who was trapped in the Demon Realm, Shien's eye twitched, and he decisively skipped over the subject.
"Thirty minutes?" Shien murmured. "That's enough."
With that, Shien changed direction and headed toward the garden.
House Poztut's rear garden.
This was a garden that few people usually entered or left. Only people of relatively high standing within the household, such as Shien, came here.
Meticulously tended by Lasha, the garden was no worse than the palace's rear garden. Exquisite flowerbeds and vegetation resembling works of art filled the area, creating a truly pleasing sight.
