Many years later...

The children all have grown. So much time has passed, her own children have already left her. While some stayed with the prolonging of life.

Her last child who didn't want to prolong his life had just left her. He was the youngest of the seven. She watched as his breath left him. He was happy.

She went home then after seeing him leave. It reminded her the passing of another. The one she promised to stay alive till now.

The house was now empty. Not her house. The Yaerren House she stayed in. Only left Edness and her . Garlis and the servants. The kids were grown and had left.

She looked to the portrait hanging on the wall . Neva .

Edness came walking over " miss him ? "

Nana : your husband. Not mine.

Edness: that's mean. He made you promise and that's why you're still here isn't it ?

Nana : keeping a dead's man promise. Am I silly?

Edness : not sure. I would be sad if you left.

Nana laughed a little " no one to extend life for you ?"

Edness : yup.

Nana : I'm going to leave. It's so empty now.

Edness : to where ?

Nana : I found a place. A condominium.

Edness : oh. Those new buildings that has many apartments. Like living in a room for a house.

Nana : yes.

Edness :mmm... Aren't they small ?

Nana : I traded it and the whole thing is mine now. Just need one whole level to myself I think.

Edness : I see. Are you inviting me ?

Nana : you could. If you wanna.

Edness : nah. I like my servants and all.

Nana; you still can hire 1 or 2 . Just in the apartment.

Edness : hm. Sounds not bad. There will be enough places for my things ?

Nana: just rent an Endless Storage will you ?

Edness : hmmm... You'll find one for me ?

Nana : you don't want to stay with me ?

Edness : nah. I want to do something... Since I've got this long life.

Nana : where you want to stay ?

Edness : in the capital. It's bustling there. Maybe I want to be a politician again. Or something. Neva's not here anymore. The children are free birds.  Got to do something exciting.

Nana : ok then.

Edness: we'll still meet up for tea ?

Nana : you'll let me place a teleport anchor at your house ?

Edness : 10 meteres away from my place.

Nana : fair enough.

Edness turns to nana " I'll miss you."

Nana smiled " crazy girl. We're still meeting for tea."

Edness : of course we are ! I need you to extend my life.

Nana sighs " don't know why you want to live so long for."

Garlis : Miss.

Nana : Garlis. Right. We haven't said what to do with you... We've dispersed the rest.

Garlis : the rest except for me and Cherry and Blueberry. Also the two Mistress Edness is taking with.

Nana: are you jealous of the girls? They're just servants. Orphans.

Garlis : take me too.

Nana : a butler ? I stay in an apartment.

Garlis : an entire level apartment

Nana : you've always been the eavesdropper. Only revealing what's needed.

Garlis : take me. I can stay right below you. Take care of you.

Nana : why me ? Edness is your Mistress

Garlis : she doesn't run a business like you. I often look out for you, more than you would  like to admit. I know you better than the girls. You need me.

Nana : hmm... That is true... But need you...

Garlis : plus I have something they don't.

Nana : which is ?

Garlis : sign me on for 50 years of service

Nana : Why ? You traded with me for a few times just to extend your life. I don't know your reason. But you're sure, you want to spend it with me ?

Garlis: .... There needs to be a why ?

Nana : I know you're loyal. But you're not without thoughts.

Garlis let out a smile " you see through me. Miss."

Nana : why ?

Garlis : I wanted to ask for another trade a later part of my service. A favour more like.

Nana : continue.

Garlis : there is a girl I would like your help to save. It requires some means.

Nana : Deal. I'll take you. 50 years for the girl.

Garlis : really?!

Nana : deal.

" Thank you !!" Garlis shook her hand.

Nana ; how urgent is she ?

Garlis : well not very. I was going to ask you 1 week after service.

Nana : wow. The plan you have. You really calculated my adore for you huh.

Garlis : well...

Nana : sighs. Get my bags. We're moving.

Garlis: yes miss.
