Chapter 69: Introducing the Elf to the Maids

Taking the envelope from his hands, Selene lightly laughed. "Hehe, then let her test Orion. Wait and see how her jaw drops to the ground seeing his sheer potential."

Eldric’s expression turned slightly serious as he looked at her. "Did you feel the power of a curse from her?"

Selene softly nodded. "Yes, and it’s a strong one. Even I can’t do anything about it. Was she born with it? Or did someone place it on her?"

His gaze turned solemn. "Who in the world can place a curse even you can’t break? The Elven High Priestess?"

Selene quickly shook her head. "No, impossible. She wouldn’t dirty her hands with curse magic."

"Then who..."

The old couple continued discussing who it could be, quickly forgetting about the slave issue—it was quite common in noble circles after all.

"Master, who is she?!" Rina pointed her trembling finger at the elven girl.

"She..." Orion gestured toward her, not knowing what to say as he didn’t even know her name. After a split second of thought, he decided to name her, "...is Seraph. I bought a slave from the market, and she will be my third personal maid from now on."

"WHAT?!" Rina nearly shouted at the top of her lungs despite standing inside the library.

Meanwhile, Fiora looked at Seraph with wide eyes, feeling discomfort in her heart.

Orion had to look around and ask a few maids to learn that both of them had cooped themselves inside the library since morning. He had directly brought Seraph inside the library to find them, which led to the current situation.

"Master, were we not enough for you??" Rina asked, looking back and forth between Orion and Seraph.

"Cough, it’s nothing like that, you two. First, come with me to my room, I’ll explain the situation there," he said before looking around the quiet library.

A few maids could be seen clearing the shelves, but they didn’t dare look in their direction, quietly doing their own work. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Orion turned around and took Seraph with him out of the library. Rina and Fiora looked at each other before following him out.

Rina frowned as she saw how gently Orion was treating Seraph. Fiora noticed Rina’s expression and gently nudged her, silently gesturing for her to calm down.

Rina puffed her cheeks, but her tense expression slowly softened. She knew her master wasn’t the kind of person who would casually bring home strangers without reason.

Back in Orion’s spacious room, he gestured for Seraph to sit on the comfortable chair near the window. The elf remained silent, her dead violet eyes looking around the room cautiously, still wary despite Orion’s gentle demeanor. Orion moved and gently made her sit down in the chair.

Rina and Fiora stood slightly behind Orion, eyes locked on the elven girl with curiosity and mild apprehension.

"Alright," Orion began softly, sitting down opposite Seraph and meeting her wary gaze, "let me explain clearly."

He briefly recounted the events of the day—his dream and how he had encountered Seraph at the market—carefully omitting the quest details given by the system.

Throughout his explanation, Seraph’s gaze never wavered, though a subtle flicker of confusion passed through her eyes upon hearing the mention of his dream.

"That’s how I found her," Orion finished calmly, looking back at Rina and Fiora. "I felt a connection and decided it was important to bring her here. It’s not about dissatisfaction with either of you. You two are irreplaceable to me."

Rina’s expression finally relaxed completely, and Fiora showed a gentle, relieved smile.

"We trust you, Master," Fiora softly affirmed.

’Or so you say. She barely nodded. This trust thing is going to be far tougher than I thought,’ Orion inwardly sighed.

’Indeed, I must be patient,’ he quietly thought. ’There are many mysteries surrounding her. Why the illusion spell? What’s her real background? And why would fate specifically link her to me?’
