Mya was astonished once again. She expected that L would have a very modest home since she said she was only living alone. But when she said that her house was too big for her to live alone, she literally meant it.


    ''That is huge,'' she kept staring at the house starting down to up. ''I can''t help thinking how much money she made being amoner.''


    Mya stood gawking at a mansion-like house. Though it was not that big as the Marina mansion it was still considerably big.


    "This is your house?" Mya asked as she looked back at L who was now opening the gate.


    "Yes, who else could it belong other than me?" L said,pletely proud when Mya was looking in amazement at her.


    "And you said you are amoner," Mya added. ''Though she didn''t mean any harm with what she said, in this world filled with monarchy and nobility, for amoner to have this kind of house would be just a pipe dream to have.


    L seemed didn''t mind it either. "I get that a lot."


    ''Eh, having a house like this as amoner is really strange. I thought this is just aplete norm here.'' Mya thought.


    "Originally an old noble who fell out of grace and only had this mansion in his name and his only property passed away. I''m the only servant who worked for him for a year and when he died, he gave me his mansion. That''s why I have this now. Well, I know it sounds impossible or what but that is truly what happened to me."


    ''A noble, give her this mansion? Then she said that this city was just recently built. Wait, just how long has this city been since it was established then?''


    "It seems you are still confused, please enter now and after a proper meal and hot bath, let''s talk more about it. Don''t worry I try my best to lessen your confusion but first, you guys need to rest first, Is that okay with you?"


    "Yes! Of course. Hot meal! And a hot bath!" Mya excitedly said.


    "Yes, yes!" L said with enthusiasm too. ''I wonder how long these two have been suffering, just for the mere mention of bath and food got them excited. Ah, I mean for Mya to be this excited. Well if she is a scout, then her life was not really great before then. Being a scout girl will never be easy.'' She then led Mya and Kayden who still remained quiet inside her house. They walked in a long garden, with beautiful glowing flowers before they finally reached the main house.


    ---???---


    For the next few hours, L served the two to the best of her capabilities. Since it was rare for someone like her to have visitors due to her scary appearance and really have a few friends. It was really fun for her to meet these people who were not scared of her.


    She led them first to a long dining table and let them sit to feelfortable..


    "Please, allow me to prepare your food," L said. "Could you wait for about twenty minutes?"


    Kayden seemed not to show any intention of speaking or answering. So Mya just answered for both of them.


    "Yes, we could," Mya said with a smile. Then L left for the other room of the mansion.


    While waiting, Mya remembered the Squish that L was eating earlier. ''Wait what kind of food will she serve us? Ipletely forgot about this! How I wish this will not be another scary scenario meal like what happened before with the prince.'' Mya started to sweat bullets remembering what happened before. ''Maybe I should check on her, and tell her that I''ll just help prepare the meal.`


    But as Mya was going to stand up, L already appeared with a pulling tray with her. There were three dishes that were covered.


    "I''m back!" L said with enthusiasm. "Did I let you wait for long?!"


    ''That was not even twenty minutes! Just like three minutes!'' Mya screamed inside her mind. But not to show any form of rudeness to L, she just gave a casual smile. "It''s not that long. Oh," then she stood up. "Let me help you arrange the dishes on the table."


    "No, please just stay seated. You guys are my guess just let me handle the rest. Besides, it was once in a lifetime having a guest in my house after all." L said stop Mya.


    Mya gulped trying to hide her nervousness when L, one by one, put the covered dishes on the table. Then next were the tes and the utensils. When the preparation was almost done, L took a seat at the right side of Mya.


    "Please have a nice meal, even though I don''t look like it, but I''m a good cook," L said with confidence. And when she opened the dishes one by one, to Mya''s surprise, it didn''t look horrendous as she imagined.


    Grilled meat with vegetables and soup.


    ''It looks ordinary and delicious.'' Mya observed the food and consciously smelled it too. '' It also smells so good.'' Then the enticing smelling from it assaulted her nose which made her more hungry now.


    "It was so nice of you to prepare us this meal. Thank you for this!" Mya said as she got one slice of the grilled meat. Then she immediately ate it. "Yum!" Then she began to eat more. Kayden also did the same and silently ate his food without saying anything.


    L was greatly delighted seeing Mya''s reaction to her food then started eating as well.


    Next, after the delicious and hearty meal, Mya was able to finally find herself in a warm and nice bath. She immediately soaked in the bathtub and feltpletely rxed.


    ''Ah seriously.'' Mya let out a deep exhale of pure bliss. "There is nothing much greater than having a nice and warm bath after a long journey and a hearty meal. This was one of the best days ever."


    ''Maybe I should just live here?'' Mya chuckled to herself. "Kidding. This feeling of beingzy is just kicking in. Well, who wouldn''t want to bezy after experiencing a lot of things."


    She stayed soaked in the bath for about twenty more minutes before she decided to go out. When she was out of the bath, she wore the white bathrobe that huggedpletely her fitted hourss body figure. Then she walked out and entered the room that L prepared for her. At the exact time, L entered the room with her clothes in her hands.


    "Oh, you finished your bath. Here are some clothes you could use. I hope it will fit you."


    "Thank you for this! This is too much L and I know thank you''s not enough." Mya said with the feeling of shyness and with a smile then epted the folded clothes that were in L''s hands. She went to the dresser next to the empty wardrobe.


    " Come on, like what I said before. It''s a pleasure for me to help, '''' L said, smiling causing her fangs to show up.


    L''s clothes were a little too big for her, but they turned out just fine. It was a pair of white pajamas and a shirt with stripes. When she finished dressing, Mya found L seated on her bed.


    "You seem familiar with this kind of room," L said as soon as she saw Mya out of the wardrobe.


    "I just visited a lot of ces." Mya responded as she took a seat beside L.


    "Hmm. That''s strange, did the ind above have to develop houses like this there?"


    Mya was surprised by L''s answers. ''Crap, how careless of me. I said something suspicious.''


    "Ah, what I mean is it was like the feeling of one person who visited a lot of ces, I''m easy to adapt to new changes," Mya said, trying to cover up her blunder. " Oh by the way, where is Kayden?" Mya said also trying to change the topic


    "Ah I see, that was what you meant by that." L looked at Mya and pity shed through her eyes.


    ''For her to have this behavior. Poor her, she must have really suffered a lot after being a scout. Those people living up there, still abandoning people to fend for their lives.''


    ''Ah thank God, she bought that reason.''


    Mya saidpletely feeling relieved, but L stared at her with a look of pity?


    "Oh, well never mind. Don''t need to answer my question. I know you must be tired now. Please rest now, and we could talk more tomorrow since I know that you have a lot of questions." L said and stood up from Mya''s bed. "Have a good night and rest well." She walked towards the door and just before she couldpletely leave the room, Mya spoke as well.


    "Goodnight L, and thank you for having us in your room," Mya said.


    "No problem, and don''t worry, your lover is just in the next room of yours," L said, delighted. Then she left the roompletely.


    Now that she was alone in the room, Myaid her tired body in the bed. And let out a satisfied moan. ''"Finally a decent bed to sleep in!"


    Then L''sst words hit her mind. ''Wait, just what did she says before she left?!"
