The maids including Nara, and Brina were eager to go home to visit their family. It took just over two days to get home to their village. When they got there, they got off the wagon; the guard that drove the wagon, went to put the wagon away before he went to see his family. Brina's father, Shiro came up to the group with other parents to speak to their children.
"Brina, is everything ok at the palace. Do you know why you all lost your position at palace?" Shiro asked.
"We didn't father. We have enough staff at the palace, that now we are able to take trips home to visit family. We were even given this month's pay." Said Brina.
"So, when your vacation is over, you'll go back to the palace?" Shiro asked.
"Yes." Said Brina.
Everyone was shocked, and then Brina walked up to her father. She asked how much is left to pay the taxes. Shiro told her that the official that came for the taxes didn't take any coin. He added that he got a document that said that taxes were paid.
"Now we just have to figure out how to fix the fields." Said Waylin.
"The problem is in the process of being solved." Said Brina.
"How is that?" Waylin asked.
"One of the other staff members brought the problem to Lady Angara." Said Brina.
"Good, now let's see how this plays out." Said Waylin.
The crowd of cats then went back to work, and the other ladies went with their families. The guards that came as well because they came from the village, went to find their families. Brina went with her father to their family home, and got settled in. While her father went back to work, she set to work, in the house.
That evening, when her father came back to have dinner. Be seen that the place was cleaned up, and dinner made.
"Thank you for making the meal." Said Shiro.
"Nothing to it. Come get cleaned up, and then come eat." Said Brina.
Shiro then went to get cleaned up, and when he came back, he took a seat at the table. They began to eat, and Shiro was wondering about something.
"Brina, I have to ask you about something. When we first seen the new Lady, the village had a gift made for her." Said Shiro as Brina brightened up.
"Yes, the blue butterfly. The few times that I've been in her room, I seen it on her nightstand next to her bed." Said Brina.
"I am glad she likes it." Said Shiro.
Brina cleaned up once they were finished, and then got ready for bed. The next morning, Brina as well as the others settled in to help their families as they visited.
Everyone enjoyed their time with their families, but soon their month was done, and they got ready to head back. Brina said that she'd see him again when she could, but she'd send him letters letting him know how she's doing.
Time passed by quickly, and Angara was returning while a group of staff were leaving; not to mention one was returning. Tia came rushing out of the kitchen, she seen Angara standing near her beast talking with Asen.
"Lady Angara, welcome back." Said Tia.
"Thank you, Tia. Asen, thank you for teaching me everything." Said Angara
"You're welcome, my lady." Said Asen.
Angara asked Tia to have her things taken up to her room. Tia said that she'd get on that; Angara thanked her, and then headed inside. As she was heading to her office, she met up with Garrett.
"Lady Angara, it's good to see you. I hope that your trip went well." Said Garrett.
"It did, I learned a lot. Tomorrow first thing, I would like to meet up with Zenon; the Minister of Agriculture. I want to see what ideas he was able to come up with while I was gone." Said Angara.
"I will let him know before I retire for the night." Said Garrett.
"Thank you." Said Angara.
