After Isa and Erlos left the garden, Clio and Reya were visibly happy as they flocked around their master.
“Miss, you were really good.”
“Pardon my words, but that was so satisfying to watch!”
Ember didn’t get to comment as her attention was caught by something else. There was a large group composed of males and females who were being led around by Yula. The sight was so eye-catching because the blue-haired female elf was the shortest among them all despite being at the front of the group.
“What’s that?” Ember asked. “Are those guests?”
Clio and Reya looked at where Ember was looking.
“Oh, those people? They’re also servants like us, Miss,” Reya replied, “just that you might be unfamiliar with their faces since you can consider them as temporary hired help.”
Clio then further added, “They have just arrived to replace some of the servants from the beast clans for a few days.”
“Why?” Ember was curious as she stared intently at the group. By now, she could identify they were all elves.
“Miss, last time, didn’t we tell you that it will soon be the night of the full moon?” Clio replied. “That night is important for all the beastmen. For those servants, they are granted leave, so that those with mates can spend the next few days with their partners, while the others get to return home. This scene in the palace repeats every time the night of the full moon is about to occur so it’s not a special case for us. You will get used to this once-a-month situation too.”
The words ‘night of the full moon’ was enough to freeze Ember in her place. She had almost forgotten about it, and now her servants reminded her, she realized she was yet to answer the King. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“Miss, we are told to give you ‘that’ tea,” Reya said as if she remembered it suddenly. “I will go and bring it for you. For now, please wait and relax inside the gazebo.”
Reya left while Clio guided Ember’s way towards the gazebo. The human girl blindly followed behind her servant, immersed in her own thoughts.
“Miss, please sit here,” Clio said as she pulled out the chair for Ember, but then, she noticed her master seemed to be in a daze. “Miss, are you alright?”
