MINA He wants me to become his maid? I tossed and turned in bed, my hair sprawled messily across the pillow, before finally landing on my back. Staring up at the ceiling, I let out a deep sigh. I realized it was already dawn as I glanced at the clock on the bedside table. The lantern festival had probably flickered out a few hours earlier. I didn’t know if Rowena had checked the basement yet; she hadn't come to see me in the past two days since she left me there. Her objective was to kill me, so perhaps she intended to let me rot in that dark space. In a way, that worked to my advantage, I guess. However, if I were to stay here and work for someone, concealing my identity was still the best course of action. Unless I moved to a different place entirely. Somewhere like… Fenra.
