The Veil of Darkness

Chapter 163: The One Downstairs



Annalise let out a deep sigh as the welcome feast finally came to an end and all the guests retired to their bed-chambers for the night.

She was too tired just from the feast that she couldn’t even find enough strength to help Aunt Claire and Sera in the kitchen but thankfully, the new addition of the servants proved really helpful.

"My Lady, you don’t have to stay here. We all will take care of the work here as soon as..." The rest of Aunt Claire’s words didn’t get to make their way out of her mouth as she was left completely stunned along with every other person present there in the kitchen.

Valerius finished the spell that he just cast and turned to face Annalise and Aunt Claire as he spoke, "Just for tonight."

"What kind of spell was that? Can you teach it to me, My Lord?" Garron asked as he looked around in awe while his gaze took in the performance of Valerius’ spell that had finished all of the kitchen’s pending work.

Before Valerius could have answered, Sera spoke up first as she clearly couldn’t give up on the golden chance to reprimand him. "You aren’t even in your twenties and have already started looking for ways to be lazy. Don’t you have any shame?"

"You...!"

"Alright, alright. Let’s stop here, shall we? Lord Valerius used the spell to help us all after the tiring day. Let’s appreciate his effort and get as much sleep as we all can because the coming day is also filled with a lot of work." Aunt Claire announced and everyone nodded their heads at her words.

All the servants took their leave and headed toward the back door of the kitchen which led them to the backyard where the servant quarters were built.
