The next morning got off to a quiet start. The new mage girls worked silently as they prepared breakfast and helped Beth with lunch.
The Chef appeared to be quite pleased with this arrangement, as she had managed to get her morning workload down to just baking the day's bread, while the girls did the rest of the prep work.
The boys left with the architects right after eating, and that left Dominic to go talk to the Techno Wizards while Alexis waited for her maids to finish their morning tasks so she could start their combat training session.
