"Miss, Miss Zola has come to visit."
The dignified maid stood on the second-floor corridor, her hands resting on her lower abdomen, her head bowed respectfully, and a gentle smile on her face.
She stood at the doorway of the room, her smiling face masking a clear sense of worry in her eyes.
Inside the room, Miss Lia was sitting on the large, soft bed.
She slightly bent one leg to support herself, while the other leg lay flat on the bed.
Leaning slightly forward, she wrapped her arms around the raised leg, her forehead resting against her knee.
Lia was wearing only a thin shirt, the collar of which was slightly open and completely disheveled.
Large swathes of her fair skin were exposed to the air, but she seemed completely unconcerned about her appearance.
His eyes were even vacant, staring blankly at the bed sheet.
He was completely listless and lacked any vitality.
Upon hearing the maid's message, Lia simply nodded slightly, but the movement was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.
The maid looked at Lia's listless appearance and felt worried.
Since the head of the Victor family disappeared, Lia has been like a different person for a whole week.
Aside from necessary meals and washing, she spent almost all her time in bed or sitting blankly.
None of the maids in the house could understand.
I don't know what happened in the past six months that made Miss Lia's attitude towards the Victor family head change so quickly.
Miss Lia used to hate the head of the Victor family so much, and even wished she could replace him.
However, after Victor disappeared, Lydia became the one most affected.
For the first few days after I got back, I didn't even eat or drink.
If it weren't for the maids' united persuasion, emphasizing that they needed to conserve their strength to find the head of the Victor family, Lia might have actually planned to starve herself to death.
The maids, who had always stayed at home, didn't feel much about Victor's disappearance.
After all, Victor doesn't usually stay in the Braxton territory; he spends most of his time in the capital.
Leah handles almost all the family affairs; strictly speaking, Leah is more like the head of the Clavner family than Victor.
But now Leah is depressed, and many guests who come to discuss business are turned away.
Every time she asked, Leah would always respond with two words:
"not see."
As expected, this time was no exception.
Hearing Lia's extremely indifferent response, the maid couldn't help but sigh softly.
Normally, when Lia says she can't see someone, the maid will leave her room.
Tell the guests that their young lady is unwell and unable to see anyone.
But this time, the maid came prepared.
She stood at the doorway, cleared her throat, and said with a serious expression:
“Miss Zola returned with Miss Leon.”
Upon hearing this, Lia, who had been lost in thought, paused, her eyes gradually focusing as she glanced at the maid.
Seeing that her mistress had finally responded, the maid smiled, clapped her hands lightly, and revealed a playful smile;
"Do you need me to help you with your clothes?"
...
Having changed into her gorgeous attire, Lia strode quickly across the wooden corridor, causing the branches and leaves of the bonsai trees she passed to sway slightly in the breeze she created.
A maid followed behind her, jogging to catch up.
"Miss Leah! Miss Zola and Miss Leon are waiting for you in the lobby!"
Upon hearing this, Lia gently turned to the side and gracefully walked down the tall staircase.
Soon, her slightly tilted gaze caught sight of a peculiar figure.
It was an elf with two long, pointed ears.
She wore a dark, black mask that covered half of her face and stood quietly in a corner of the hall.
Although the mask covered half of her face, the familiar clothing and unique aura made Lia recognize her immediately.
That was Leon, who had left for the Kingdom of Kant a month ago.
Upon seeing the elven girl before her, Lia felt a slight itch in her eyes.
She finally reunited with a relative she could confide in.
But Leah didn't cry. She just pursed her lips and softly called out:
"Leon".
The soft sound reached the elf's ears.
Leon turned around following the sound and met Lia's gaze.
Her emerald-like eyes sparkled with surprise in Leah's gaze.
Seeing her familiar master filled Leon with joy.
However, her voice was very calm, with the same respect as always.
"Miss Liya."
Lia hurried down the stairs, quickly approached Leon, grasped her hands tightly, and looked her up and down carefully.
Lia asked uncertainly:
"You...how did you get back?"
Leon was sent by her to the Kingdom of Kant to manage Shulbon on behalf of Clavenna.
That territory that Victor was forced to accept the title of lord upon his return from the Kingdom of Kant.
There also lived a goddaughter of Victor, whom Lia had never met.
At this moment, the thought of Victor caused Lia's expression to darken further.
“Miss Leon returned in my carriage.”
Just then, a soft and delicate voice suddenly rang out beside them.
Leah turned towards the source of the sound and saw a woman sitting on a sofa in the corner of the hall, who was nodding gracefully to Leah.
Lia narrowed her eyes, sizing the other person up and down.
In particular, the woman's long, slender, snow-white legs, crossed over each other, caught Liya's attention.
Zola slowly stood up and bowed to Lia:
