"Lian, meet your new maid, Riana," Azrael cheerfully introduced.

Lian, who was busy with her practice routine in the early morning, had no idea of what happened in front of their estate. She kept spamming her Ice shield while one of her lady guard attacking her

Azrael suddenly came to the training ground and behind him was the girl she was familiar with, which she found a strange thing since a 'event' happened yesterday. Why would that girl follow Azrael? She silently mused and as if that scene was not strange enough the words that came from Azrael captivating lips stunned her more. For a moment she didn't know how to react.

"What do you mean maid?" Her brows contorted into a frown.

Then Azrael explained the things that happened in the earlier 'chapter'.

"Isn't kinda, you know, and if she agreed to serve you for two weeks why assign her to me?" Although she was slightly relieved for some reason that Riana won't directly serve Azrael, she still found it a little inappropriate to let the Young Miss of Greenhill Family serve her as her maid even if it's only for two weeks. Technically they have the same level of status.

"Ohhh, so you won't accept my thoughtful gift, sigh." Azrael acted as if he was lamenting the fact his 'gift' was rejected.

Seeing him acting like this Lian has no choice but to accept Azrael's arrangement.

Riana was silent from the very beginning, slightly avoiding making eye contact while her face blushed with shame, her tears already dry from crying earlier.

Lian looked at the pitiful proud Young Miss, she saw her red eyes, a proof of her cries and how badly this hurt her pride.

Lian sighed as she walked towards Riana, she held her hands.

An action that startled Riana, her eyes peered with Lian's kind and gentle eyes.

"Don't worry, you don't need to really serve me. You can just act inside this estate as a guest, after all we have the same status." Lian said.

Riana's core shook.

[Why? Why?] She thought, after the things she had done to Lian because of her jealousy, she expected Lian would treat her badly and exact her revenge. Why is she treating her like this? She couldn't understand Lian's train of thoughts.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

She was ashamed of her past actions. She was really a bitch like Azrael said. Her tears fell once more. This time not because of shame and pride instead, it was Lian's genuineness and kindness that touched her.

She had this kind of expression maybe because of how Lian's action contrasted with Azrael's harsh words and treatment.

Lian wasn't expecting Riana to cry. She couldn't help but hand a handkerchief to Riana.

"Here, use this."

Riana timidly grabbed the handkerchief and used it to wipe her tears. After wiping her tears she looked at Lian with resolute eyes, she had decided.

"Being a guest in this estate won't do. Let me serve you."

Lian looked at her incredibly, "Like I said I can't treat you like a maid since we have the same status. And if you are worrying about Azrael I will try to convince him so you don't need to do this."

"No it's not about him anymore, it is now about my sincere apology to you. Please let me do this to make up with you because of the things I have done to you in the past. Please if you are really considering me as your equal then, please allow me to do this!" Riana said resolutely.

Lian looked at her for a good moment. Seeing her resolute eyes she couldn't help but to give in and accept her as maid.

The lady guard in the training field looked at the scene unfolding with her mouth wide open. Her Young Miss has gained a new maid and not a simple one but the Young Miss of Greenhill family.

Azrael, who was the cause of this, looked at them with a smile.

He then bid his farewell to both of them and proceeded to return to his quarter. He resumed his cultivation.

***

The next day Azrael exited from his quarter walking with cultivation of Muscle Tempering Level 6.

He stretched his hip while letting a satisfied sigh come out from his mouth.

He walked towards the training grounds and saw Lian having a sparring with the lady guard yesterday.

Surprisingly, Riana was standing below the training platform with a towel in her arms.

Azrael walked towards her. Sensing him, Riana turned around and looked at him for a moment before turning again towards the sparring figures.

Reaching near her, Azrael started a conversation, "How is your day as a maid?" He asked.

Riana first felt an uncomfortable feeling swell up in her chest. It's not because of disgust or anger towards Azrael but for some other reason.

She slightly bit her pouty lower lips which painted a sexy picture, and if any other young man saw this besides Azrael they would definitely jump at her.

"I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity." She thanked him.

Azrael's eyebrow rose, "Thank me for?" He acted ignorant.

"Thank you for making me her maid." She continued as she continued to watch the sparring. For some reason she couldn't look at Azrael's face.

"Because of this I have realized how b-b-bitchy I was." She has difficulty in uttering the word bitchy and it even made her face turn hot. She was, after all, ashamed of her past actions and attitude.

"No need to thank me because I did that with the intention to shame you and not for your redemption."

"Still I would like to insist on thanking you." She insisted.

Hearing this, Azrael's lips formed a genuine smile. Worlds are full of wonders indeed.

Lian stopped her sparring session for a moment and exited the training platform, to which Riana immediately welcomed by offering the towel in her arms.

Lian had an awkward expression on her face as she grabbed the towel. She was still not used to this kind of setup. She stated multiple times yesterday to Riana that she may have accepted her as a maid; it doesn't mean that she needs to be diligent on her being a maid. But still Riana's resolute determination prevailed.
