EP 17 - House of 20 Bodies(7)
After wiping Sieri's face, I reluctantly let her go. There were many things I wanted to try, but it was only the first night. Just as wine becomes better with age, savoring a person slowly was fun in its own way.
And so, the night passed. I spent some time thinking about what kind of fun things I could do with Sieri in the future.
From the morning, Aira was cleaning the mansion’s corridors. Since the March of Atonement, Aira was so scared that she trembles at the thought of stepping outside the mansion grounds. So, I assigned her to clean the first floor of the mansion. Aira cleaned as if it was her life's work, and at night, she served me as if being a prostitute was her calling.
The other servants in the manor didn't seem to mind that someone else was doing their work for them. Since Aira had originally come in as a 'maid,' they find it natural to see her cleaning. Cleaning was a very suitable job as punishment.
Seeing Aira adapt to life in the mansion so well was giving me a sense of satisfaction as a religious person. Wasn’t it remarkable how this former swindler had transformed into such an honest and respectable person? Today, Aira was planning to ‘serve’ me under the desk in the office after cleaning.
“My Lord.”
While I was standing in the corridor, admiring her from behind as she cleaned, Robin addressed me. I quickly adjusted my expression and turned to face him.
