"Maria~ Maria~." The sound of Seraphina's voice came from behind.
Maria, who had initially been walking down the hallway, turned to look at her.
Upon veering around, she was shocked to see how brightly Seraphina was beaming. Her smile stretched from ear to ear, and even more shocking, she was skipping like a child.
"Well, you seem rather happy this morning, did you sleep in the mansion? I thought you headed home last night."
Seraphina finally stopped right in front of Maria, her arms cupping her cheeks as she blushed even more.
"Eh? You think so? Hm~ I guess it will be obvious, heheh~ hehe~"
Maria stared at her for a while, wondering what could have gotten into her.
But knowing Seraphina, she figured it was something that had to do with money, so she didn't bother asking.
Yet, just as she was about to turn around, Seraphina uttered,
"Are you going to wake Lord Dorian up?"
Maria paused. "Yes, the soldiers are gathered at the training ground; he is supposed to be there."
