<h4>Chapter 41:The Lords'' Meeting, Solution And Consequence-III</h4>


    As Kyle spoke in a voice which was very low like a whisper, even Ruhan who was beside him couldn''t caught well what he had said and went to apany him to gather with the rest of the Church member.


    In thete evening on the White''s Mansion when the Sun had just been eaten down to the horizon, giving the Sky a rest from the sun. Elise who had learned what she should do inside the mansion was given a task to work as the cleaner of the hall with a morning shift. M had gotten back to her work and asked Elise to sweep the east wing of the hallway.


    The ce was quite dpidated and forlorn, seeming to be abandoned and there wasn''t any presence of people who came to the ce for a very long time. She began to sweep the hallway. Although as always the White''s Mansion was very dimmed to the point she hoped the Lord could change his mind and opened the curtain, she felt a little chill on her back when she imagined that a ghost could pass by the hallway.


    Back at her house, she always helped her mother to clean the house, thus her movements were swift and before long, she had swept the hallway with speed. She looked back at the spotless hallway that she sweeped to hear a soft knock clinking from therge window on her left. She jolted, asking to herself whether this ce is haunted, because she had once heard that an abandoned ce would have more ghosts than a rowdy ce.


    The sounds of wind bursting to the curtain, the dimmed and narrow hallway with only her standing in the middle of the path with a broom. Surely the scene was quite chilling. No one would question even if a ghost jumped out suddenly, but for some reason, Elise believed that the White''s Mansion wouldn''t have any ghosts. She walked to the ce where she heard the light knocking and opened the curtain to see her little friend Aryl. She was mumbling something unheard to her, smiling widely to show her delight for meeting Elise again.


    Elise who was also happy painted her face with a smile. She opened the ss window and greeted. "Aryl!"


    "Elise! I''m sorry I waste. I have been absent for years, you see." Aryl danced in the sky, swinging her little feather wings and flew across the right side of her face, "All my friends when they saw me immediately dragged me off somewhere. Asking about this and that, some useless things of the faeriesnd with their new things. I just finally squeezed out from their endless bickering and came here! What are you doing here?" Aryl asked but then saw the broom and her ck maid uniform and shrugged her shoulder. "Sweeping the floor? That damned Demon, I thought he brought you here as ady but as a maid? Should''ve beaten his mind with some senses!" Aryl reminded herself for calling Ian as a demon and how Elise was angered that time and found herself stuttering. "I- No I mean, Ian. Yes. Him."


    Due to how fast Aryl spoke, Elise could only catch a few of her words. Particrly the first sentence she spoke because the second one sounded like a burst of annoyance. "Were you with your friends before? You don''t have to worry about me and have fun with your friends."


    Aryl floated next to Elise''s shoulder as the girl closed the window. "Nah, beside you are more fun, there I would only y the same games over and over anyway." Aryl spoke but truth to be told, she was worried to leave Elise alone at Ian''s Mansion. Knowing his nasty personality that had been spread to the faeriesnd, when ites to Elise, she still couldn''t ce her full trust to the man.


    Elise sang her ''oh'' as a reply when suddenly she heard a clinking sound of bells ringing through the hall. Aryl swung at the air, searching for the source of the bell and noticed it started from the corner of the ceiling. "What is that?"


    Elise unknowingly had her face brightened like a burst of light. She stepped her feet a little faster while replying. "It''s the sign that the Lord havee back. Let''s go, Aryl." Elise spoke brightly, beaming with happiness.


    "Go for what?" Aryl askedzily.


    "Greeting the Lord''s homing, it''s a tradition for the servants to greet the Lord at the entrance when he came back home."


    "You don''t have to, though." Aryl spoke spitefully, as expected she can never put her trust to that Demon.


    "Don''t say that." Elise replied and ced the broom near the corner of the hall where usually the broom and other supplies were ced and found her way to the main entrance. M turned her face left and right, searching for Elise. When she found the girl, she raised her hand subtly and hunted her to line among the other maids. Elise stood beside another maid across M and turned her face to see Carmen. Carmen also noticed her standing beside her and whispered with a smile. "We met again, Elise."


    "Yes." Elise had just replied a single word when she heard Ve beside Carmen clearing her throat loudly to warn the two to stop talking.


    Carmen winked at Elise and both of them straightened her back. At the same time, the door was opened, Ian with a ck appearance and a long dark blue coat arrived at the door. She noticed the other maids bowed and kept their head lower with their gaze on the floor.
