Chapter 3: The greatest enemy of men
"Sa-ku-ya~"
Stressing each syllable out in an intended manner, in a ruffle, red trimming dress the devil starts counting time in her head.
"How may I help you, Milady?"
And in 3 seconds stop short, the perfect and elegant maid- Sakuya Izayoi- silently appeared out of thin air beside the symbol of the house, awaiting her mistress next words. Sakuya wears a light blue French maid outfit, with white headband decorated her silver hair, her expression cool and composed, though Remilia deemed that she has probably called on her while she was still working, as always.
"Do you have some spare time? Seeing you stopped time to come here so fast, play with me."
"Milady, I'm afraid I was in the middle of work before coming here." the graceful and refined maid purposely emphasized her complaint.
"Tch… some nerve you have." Remilia's brow knitted slightly, an air of exasperation exuded like miasma.
"Are you bore, Milady? If so, let me fetch some books for you to pass away time." It was much to Sakuya's working nature to see through her lady' distress, thus she kindly came to the suggestion.
"Don't bother. I've read all the books in the library, magic theory aside."
"Oh, I didn't know Milady was so keen on books." a small smile bloomed on Sakuya's lips. Sarcasm, perhaps? But who knows?
"Yea, and believe me, I never know Pache's taste was so… earthy." As the descendant of Tepes recalled her best friend's choice of books, she unwittingly lowered her tone in that last part...
"Pardon?"
"Just get back to your post, Sakuya," Remilia finally comes to assess her loyal maid- "and while you're at it, bring some tea over to the library."- As imposing as the head of the Scarlet household should be.
"Understood."
Like a sleight of hand, the chief maid called Sakuya Izayoi silently vanished into thin air just like how she materialized earlier, leaving her mistress's boredom floated down the long, red corridor by itself.
