Ramona kept thanking the divines that allowed her and her sister Belinda to join Anna as their maids. Her mistress’s family was incredibly wealthy, giving both her and Belinda ample compensation for their services. Not only that, her mistress Anna, gave her and Belinda several beautiful clothes and pieces of jewelry. Now they even looked like nobles.

Both she and her twin sister Belinda grew up comfortable since their father was a competent merchant but they still couldn’t afford the type of dresses and pieces of jewelry that Anna gave them.

At first, Ramona believed that she and her sisters were destined to become prostitutes since almost all employers kept telling them that they would earn a lot more gold coins as night ladies. Not even courtesans but prostitutes. Ramona and her sisters were brought up by their mother strictly and morally and they tried their best to stick to that behavior. The problem was, when their parents were killed by monsters in one of their travels to the city of Tiande six months before, the twins’ lives became incredibly difficult.

They lost their home and all their belongings to their father’s creditors and they needed to work to make ends meet but then their employers kept harassing them so they kept changing jobs. Luckily, they encountered Nemina who hired them as Anna’s maid after several minutes of interview.

When Belinda first saw Anna, she thought that the girl was a princess or at least a high noble since she was truly pretty but then Anna told them that she was a farmer’s daughter and that they only became rich because her brother Anton became a very powerful wizard.

Anna then told them that her brother had a spell that could repair all kinds of things so they would purchase broken things and once they were repaired, they would sell them off at a very high price. Belinda’s mistress also informed them that her brother could conjure a magical water that they could drink and bathe in and the water would make them healthy and would cause their skin and hair to become pretty. Their mistress told them that as proof, Anna’s father Anders turned from a middle-aged man to an almost young-looking man, and they couldn’t believe that the man who was leading the caravan was already in his forties.

Ramona and her sister Belinda did experience the magical water that Anton conjured and aside from the water being incredibly refreshing, its effect on their bodies was indeed noticeable even just bathing in it one time.

When Ramona saw Anton for the first time, she thought that he was incredibly handsome but very intimidating since she could feel his powerful presence but he was incredibly kind, especially to his sister. They even saw and heard Anna mocking him and it was fine with the wizard.

Then they heard Anton sing. The young wizard had the most incredible voice that Ramona had ever heard and the way he sang brought weird fluttering in her stomach. After the young wizard sang to his family and friends, Ramona couldn't help but keep feeling the fluttering in her stomach whenever she saw their mistress’s brother.

Belinda and her sister were very happy while they were traveling with their mistress and her brother but then an army of monsters attacked their caravan. At first, she thought that they would die that day since who could survive an army of terrifying monsters?

Then Belinda’s mistress’s brother flew to the sky and rained death and destruction on the monster army. He turned from a stern handsome singer to a powerful god. Looking at the glowing divine person in the sky, Ramona’s first romantic feelings disappeared and turned into awe, fear, and respect.

Ramona then thought that it was the correct decision to have joined Anna’s family since with her brother around, no one would be able to threaten her mistress’s family.

Now every time Ramona looked at Anton, instead of fluttering in her stomach, she could only feel deep respect.

During their stay in one of the villages on the way to the merchant city of Ruandelle, Ramona saw the most beautiful story floating on a magical wall conjured by her mistress’s brother. It was a story about a princess living underwater and her voice was the most beautiful voice she had ever heard in her life. At first, she thought that the show was a bit weird but then she remembered Anton telling everyone that they were drawings by artists for children so the show had this child-like and dream-like quality but then all of those considerations disappeared while they were watching the story and she only thought that the little princess under the sea was very beautiful and that the prince that she fell in love with was very handsome.

Ramona fell in love with the under-water princess’s song about longing to be a part of the prince’s world and she cried when the princess repeated the song while watching her beloved on the beach.

The princess’s sea companions were very funny and loyal causing everyone to laugh out loud and she planned to make a doll that looked like the yellow fish so she would have something to remember the show about.

The Witch Under the Sea was also very scary although she had a very beautiful voice as well even though her song was very evil. The song was indeed evil but it was funny as well and it was catchy that Ramona could sometimes catch herself humming the song about poor unfortunate souls under her breath.

Then Anna’s brother announced that he had countless shows in his magical crystal ball and she couldn’t wait to see them once he allowed them to watch some. The fact that Anton also announced while laughing that he had shows with naked people making babies that they could see every detail made Ramona blush a deep red causing her to know that Anna’s brother had a playful side to him as well.

Right now, Anna was following her brother and Ramona thought that she should be pestering her brother to show them more show from his magical crystal ball and she hoped that Anna would be successful since she wanted to watch as well and based on Belinda’s expression, she also wanted Anna to persuade her brother to let them see more shows.

Looking at Devon, Frederick, and Colin, they were probably interested in what Anton said about shows about naked people and she rolled her eyes at them. Frederick and Devon caught her expression and the tutor just smirked at her while Devon blushed.

When Ramona’s sister Belinda saw the men’s reactions, she loudly snorted joining her twin in condemning the men.

Ramona then realized happily that her most current problem was how to join her mistress in persuading her brother to let them watch more shows which was worlds apart from their problem before on where to find food and how to avoid becoming prostitutes.

That realization brought forth the fact that she and her sister were currently content and even happy to remain as maids of Anna and she hoped that they could stay that way for a long time.
