Chapter 68 Visit
"What are you doing in this place... long ears?" Leslie stared intently at Daniela from the bed. She was in the same position as when Arthur last saw her, wrapped in sheets like a cat. The only visible part of her body was her head... the rest was covered, but that didn't matter right now. The most important thing was that she was glaring at Daniela, baring her teeth, ready to pounce at any moment.
"Long ears?!" Daniela jumped, and her ears turned a little red. She shyly lowered her head and intertwined her fingers. "I came to visit you both," she murmured. "No!" She seemed to remember something, quickly raising her head and looking around Arthur's room... with the door, which had been locked moments ago, now closed, and the windows shut tight, covered by clothes.
The place was dark even though it was daytime. She looked at Leslie... the bed was a complete mess, no, the whole room was in total disarray! It looked like the room of someone who hadn't left in years.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Daniela's expression turned somber. In one corner of the room was Evelyn, lying on her back, staring into nothing as if she were lost. Surrounding her were some empty food cans.
She sighed... Daniela couldn't help but sigh. She hadn't seen these two for a few hours, which seemed odd. When she didn't find them in their room, she assumed they were in Arthur's room... and there they were, both of them in complete disarray. Shaking her head, she found out that Arthur had gone on a trip and would return on Monday, leaving the room in their care.
She was a bit upset they hadn't informed her, but in the end, there was no point in getting angry about something that had already happened. Instead...
"Have you even eaten properly?" she asked as she bent down to pick up the scattered clothes around the room. "Yes... I think so..." Leslie lowered her guard and frowned a little. Daniela raised an eyebrow and silently stared at the mess on the bed. There was a can of boiled potatoes on it... "Are you sure?"
Leslie's eyes wavered... "Well... I don't know!" she quickly buried her head in the sheets.
Daniela said nothing more and went straight to the bathroom, picked up a basket, and started gathering all the clothes. "How can you two live in this place!" she scolded, looking angrily at her friends. Under the covers, Leslie's body trembled a little, and she awkwardly peeked out her head. "Well... I don't know how to clean a room..." her cheeks turned slightly red with embarrassment.
Stay tuned with empire
"You can't..." Daniela opened her mouth in surprise, but before she could say anything, she looked back at the two of them... "Noble young ladies, the highest of the empire," she reflected for a moment... ever since they were little, they probably never touched a broom or cleaned their room... that's what servants were for... Why would a girl have to do household chores?
After thinking that, she looked at Leslie with pity. On the other hand, Daniela actually liked tidying her room, she even knew how to cook. It never interested her to have someone do it for her. Of course, her case wasn't special, even though she was noble, she couldn't compare to a duke...
Looking at Leslie... "Do you want to help me clean?" she offered. Leslie's eyes lit up a little. She glanced with a hint of regret at the sheets around her body, frowning as if making a difficult decision: "Ugh! Alright, let's do it!" In the end, she decided to accept Daniela's offer. Somehow, she felt bad for dirtying Arthur's room...
"What do I need to do?" she asked as she untangled herself from the sheets. "First of all, let's put all the clothes to wash," Daniela said as she continued picking up the clothes scattered around the room, which, for some reason, were all Arthur's.
Leslie nodded eagerly and quickly started gathering the sheets from the bed. After a few minutes, they had collected all the clothes and put them in a basket, taking it to the receptionist so she could hand them to the servants. After coming back up in the elevator, they started picking up the food cans, placing them directly into a trash bag.
They opened the curtains and the windows to let the air into the room, and for the first time (in a day), sunlight entered the room.
Daniela knelt down and looked at Evelyn's face. Her eyes were closed, and she had a frown on her face... Daniela's eyes sparkled. "Hmm, this isn't good..." she worried a little. Evelyn's soul seemed empty, with no emotions present, just like Leslie's. Both of them were in the same situation, but Evelyn's case was a little more severe...
after observing her for a few moments, she continued picking up the cans around Evelyn.
"Just put them in the black bag. After we finish collecting them all, we need to take it outside," Daniela said, noticing Leslie's confused look. For some reason, she was tossing them aside... A few minutes passed, and finally, all the cans were out of the room. With things in their place, the mess was gradually disappearing.
After an hour, the room was finally in a state where a human could live without getting sick... "I can't believe you two made such a mess," Daniela pouted. There had been so much trash... and it had only been a day.
"Sorry, I felt a bit strange, hehe," Leslie apologized and laughed awkwardly. "It's okay, you can rest if you want, I'll go prepare dinner," Daniela said, patting Leslie on the shoulder. Leslie nodded and quietly sat down on a chair in silence.
Daniela nodded and headed to the kitchen. With a quick glance, she checked what ingredients were in the fridge, along with the types of vegetables. Placing her hands on her hips, she smiled... putting on the apron, she took out a piece of frozen chicken. "I know what I'll make..." she said, taking out a tomato, onion, and pepper. "I'll make chicken stew."
