Chapter 43 - Lady of the House (1/2)

Luna thought that she and Amber would be alone, but a moment after Hero left, an old woman and a young teenage boy came out from the kitchen and greeted her.

”Master Hero has informed us about your arrival, Milady. Your things have been moved by Rico, your personal bodyguard, to your room. I'm the caretaker of this house; you may call me Madam Lin. This is my grandson, Adam.”

”Hello, I'm Luna Jiang. I hope we get along.” Luna slightly inclined her head.

Madam Lin was pleased that the woman her master chose to marry wasn't a frivolous woman. Luna Jiang might not be as pretty as the other women she'd seen flaunting to get Hero's attention, but she could tell that this woman was a good choice.

Even their young miss Little Amber seemed bewitched by Luna Jiang's charm. Everyone within the estate knew that Little Amber doesn't like people touching her, but with Luna, she seemed like a little puppy that follows her owner with wagging tails.

”We've prepared your dinner, Miss Luna. I'm sure you're tired from your long day.” Madam Lin then turned to Little Amber. ”Does Little Amber want to join us for dinner?”

The little girl nodded in response and held her Mommy Luna's hand. Luna smiled at her before following Madam Lin for dinner. She noticed the lack of dust in the front hall and hallways. Most surfaces were polished and cleaned, giving a light scent of lavender within the area.

Following Madam Lin's lead, they came to the tall doors that led to the dining room, where another man stood waiting for them to arrive. Bowing low, the man opened the double doors and let them inside the dining room.

Everything was spotless. Luna couldn't even see a speck of dirt anywhere. The long table reflected light from the chandelier, and the flooring was so shiny one could see one's own reflection.

Looking towards the table, she saw two placemats with shiny silverware and a plate of steak with mashed potato on one side.

”Are you hungry?” Luna asked Little Amber, ”It's getting late. We should eat and take a rest.”

Little Amber nodded and sat in front of the dining table, waiting for her mommy to sit beside her. Madam Lin, Rico, and Adam watched in shock as Little Amber followed Luna's suggestion without throwing a fit.

Usually, by this time, their Little Amber would refuse to dine with anyone. She would throw things and cry until either Master Hero or Miss Joanna arrives to console her.

But with Miss Luna…

What sorcery was this?
