Mysterious Woman.

'Knock knock knock'.

'Knock knock knock.'

A woman with waist length midnight blue hair knocked on the door in front of her. She waited patiently because she knew that there was not many people in the castle like mansion in front of her.

A few minutes later, the door opened slowly as if the person on the other side of the door was reluctant to open it.

There stood a tall, imposing man who looked to be about 6'7. He pushed up his gold- rimmed glasses and looked down on her. Not in a disdainful way -it was just that her was a bit taller than her. "Miss Kiera Yu? Are you Kiera Yu?" He immediately asked proving to be a straight to the point man.

"Mr Azrael, pleasure to meet you." She slowly raised her head as if she had all the time in the world. She clutched her suitcase and wanted to advance toward the house. He scrutinized her for a second before walking in. She scoffed in her head and entered the house closing the door behind her.

Four siluettes were seated on the sofas in the spacious living room. They were all drinking different beverages and was either reading or doing something else. Mr Azrael went to sit in the one person sofa and watched as she placed her suitcase near the door .

Her maid uniform swayed slightly as she walked towards the living room. Even with her almost non existent footsteps, all of the people in the room left what they were doing and looked in her direction. She eventually came to a stop in front of all of the five and bowed seventy degrees.

"Mister Adrean, Miss Yaranyl, Mister Azrael, Mister Damien and Miss Achlys, I Believe you know what my purpose is in your abode. "She stared at all of them with a blank gaze. The mentioned people were drawn by the eye patch the could be seen as she slowly stood straight letting her hair cover it up . All that was left was the other eye whose pupil was Black-ish red-ish one would think it was part of the abyss.

In fact if you looked closely you could almost the the terrifying abyssal monsters reflected in her gaze. She blinked and they felt as if the were imagining thier own things.

Adrean was becoming a little uncomfortable with the tense atmosphere so he cleared his throat noisily and spoke up. " We know why you were sent here by mother but-"

"Apologies for rudely interrupting but Master Kraz was the one who sent me here." She said calmly as she cupped her hands.

This finally managed to withdraw a reaction from the other stone faced 'siblings'. Master Kraz, their father, was a missing and busy man. They would only get to see him once or twice in a year . Adrean couldn't believe the man knew they existed. Even the times they saw him was from a far even in childhood . Their father just seemed to be in a world of his own.

Adrean gulped a mouthful of saliva before looking at his siblings for a salvation or backup plan.

They had planned to send the maid back to where she was bought- yes bought- just as they did to the last twenty- no thirty maids who were brought this week. But unexpectedly this one was sent by their father. Adrean, as the spokesperson for his little group, didn't know whether to continue the plan or not.

When their mother sent maids they didn't care and obviously didn't want them. Their mother was gentle and caring , she was used to them so she didn't dare scold them and continued trying everyday. This time it was their secluded father who did it so - wait why did they have to believe this woman!?

Adrean and Azrael glanced at each other before Adrean asked an important question, " Why do we have to believe you. For all we care you could be lying to us."

(Kiera POV)

I entered the mansion after closing the door that was left open by the bespectacled Mister Azrael. My eyes were instantly drawn to the sophisticated way the mansion was decorated .

It had multi-peaked rooflines , bay shaped rooms and windows. There were architectural details such as repeating arches, wrought -iron balconies, black and white limestone tiles. Its high ceilings seemed to reach the heavens.

It was a tinge of Modern and more of European style. Before I could observe more I felt the bespectacled Mister Azrael's gaze on me so I placed my suitcase on the empty rack a bit close to the door. I made a mental note to pick it up later.

From where I was standing I could see the five of the cuties- Masters and Misses I would be serving. I walked elegantly toward them, using my footsteps light and subtle. Even so they managed to hear me and stopped what they were doing.

'How interesting. There able to sense my presence even when concealed.' I raised a brow in amusement.

I walked in front of them ,well it was in the middle- kinda because the design of the leather sofas were curved. You get it, right? Then I noticed that the living room was big as my previous house that could fit and there would still be some space for a small garden .

I could feel the five pairs of gazes on me, smouldering, So I bowed seventy degrees to show my servitude but not complete submission . I addressed them accordingly and waited for a few seconds in that position . Almost instantly, I felt their sights shift to my blue rose patterned eye patch . I got up from my position and stared at the cuties- I mean My Masters and Misses with a blank gaze . My precious long hair covered my patch and I heaved a sigh of relief mentally .

I could see Adrean- I'm not going to try anymore - shift in his sit before he spoke. "We know that you were sent here by mother but-"

I almost chuckled at the cutie when he said those cute words but my face was expressionless. Looks like they weren't well informed about matters in their family. Well that could be seen for they lived in such a secluded place. Literally. Their house was in the middle of the Forest Of The Lost where the was a never ending blizzard. She almost froze to death waiting for Azrael to open the door.

"Apologies for rudely interrupting but Master Kraz was the one who sent me. " I said and watched their expressions shift to myriad of colours. I continued taking in their appearances as they contemplated on what I had said.

Miss Achlys was a very cute girl with light, violet bangs covering her face. Even then, one can clearly see her beautiful almond shaped eyes which were heterochromiatic - dark blue and light green . Her nose was pointy and little ,it was red at the top. Her little cherry pink mouth was heart shaped and had saliva glossing it. Achlys was bitting them in deep thought.

'Hm, what a beautiful child. It would be blessing to have her. And to think shes the youngest among her siblings. With such a face one can think she's barely eighteen but she's older than most people on the planet. What a pity she's living so reservedly, men would have lined up from here to the imperial capital. '

My chain of thoughts were interrupted by Adrean asking a question I had expected him to ask. I smiled slightly at him and met his serious gaze.
