"It seems… someone's cleaning," she answered leaving Lumina in more confusion.
Lumina's head tilted slightly, her senses picking up more than just the obvious. It was too noisy and unfamiliar.
"My lady!" a familiar voice called, and Lumina turned just as Ero came rushing toward her. At once, the maids stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully.
