Chapter 922- Reaching A Bottleneck In Growth

Just as Simon reached for the door, he glanced back at Irene one last time. She was still nestled under the quilt, her breathing steady and calm. A small smile appeared on his face.

Stepping outside, Simon found Annette waiting for him, as always. Her ever-dutiful presence never changed be it a holiday or not.

"Good morning, Master" she greeted him with a respectful bow.

"Yes good morning" Simon nodded. She and the others arrived the day before yesterday and celebrated the Spiritus Fortuna Festival with all of them.

"Master, I have prepared the bath for you"…

"Yeah, thank you. By the way, where are the others?" he looked around. Other than Annette who was all ready for her duties for the day, the other four maids couldn't be seen.
