Chapter 8: I Have a Saying That’s Been Passed Down Through the Ages
Romon was in a great mood.
Today was the perfect time to be short-handed.
If he were to travel to another lord's territory, he would need a guard, but at the same time, someone would have to stay at the mine to keep watch.
This cat-eared girl had come at just the right time, like a pillow for someone who had fallen asleep.
"Lornis!"
Romon called out inside the castle and then added, "Take this one, clean her up, and get her into some decent clothes. We're leaving soon."
Nini, covered in a mix of sweat and dirt, with her hair in disarray, didn't look fit to sit in a carriage, let alone serve as a coachwoman.
Lornis knew exactly when a full wash was needed and when a quick scrub would do.
If they were in a hurry to leave, she treated her like livestock, giving her a quick clean-up.
After the wash...
Nini, the cat-eared girl, walked out of the castle in silence, wearing a maid outfit that Lornis had used years ago.
