Benjamin Bright's estate was located in one of Aethelburg's prestigious wealthy neighborhoods.
The sheer luxury rivaled Andres's Azure Bay Villa.
The reason Maeve was there at such a late hour was, of course, Daisy Duke.
Afraid the Grovers would cause secondary harm to Daisy, Maeve had entrusted Benjamin to look after her.
She had already asked Mateo Fulton to arrange a long leave of absence from Aethelburg University.
Winter break was just around the corner anyway.
With a full vacation to recover, Daisy could heal her injured hands and hide from the Grovers' retaliation.
She had even made an excuse to Mr. Duke so he wouldn't worry.
Maeve thought she had arranged everything perfectly.
But by early evening, Daisy had spiked a severe fever, and standard reducers weren't working.
Benjamin had to call Maeve, asking if he should dump the troublesome girl at the hospital.
If she died in his house, Maeve would rip him apart.
Maeve immediately shot down the hospital idea.
Aethelburg was crawling with Grover informants.
To the Grovers, Daisy's life meant nothing. But if they used her as leverage against Maeve, things would get messy.
So, Maeve arrived armed with several doses of her Miracle Cure.
She had vials to reduce fever, accelerate wound healing, manage pain, and boost the immune system.
Thanks to the medication, Daisy's blazing temperature stabilized.
After managing half a bowl of porridge, the girl fell into a deep sleep.
"You've been busy all night. Come eat," Benjamin said.
He had his private chef whip up a dinner consisting entirely of Maeve's favorites.
Maeve was genuinely hungry, so she didn't stand on ceremony.
Surveying the lavish spread of Northern dishes, she nodded as she ate.
"This Snowy Soufflé isn't bad."
Benjamin smiled.
"I know it's been your favorite since you were a kid."
Maeve wasn't usually one for sweets, but the Snowy Soufflé was the sole exception.
