On another part of the city, a red haired beauty burst into flames just like Leo. Unlike him, she became an azure blue flame. It felt hot to the touch, but her surroundings weren't catching fire at all.
When she screamed, a maid with a worried expression hurriedly entered her room.
The maid looked very pretty herself. Her eyes were as deep as the abyss, her skin as smooth and flawless as a doll. While her ink-like silky hair was tied into a bun, leaving out the tips to look like bangs. Her hands, unlike anywhere else on her body, were somewhat rough due to her work.
In an age like this, people may think that jobs like hers' should have long vanished yet it did not. Reasons such as they cost much higher, and that they may get sick did not matter.
Having a personal maid was a sign of wealth, having beautiful ones meant that they were more luxurious than other rich families. Having a personal butler was similar, but a woman who had one was frowned upon. Same went for men who had personal maids.
Once she noticed the "fire" in the room, she hastily activated the fire extinguishing function of the room. Which of course didn't help at all, and she panicked.
She thought, 'What do I do! What do I do? what do I do?' before she left the room and walked towards another wooden double door. She raised her right arm and knocked on the door with her knuckles.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A husky voice entered her ears, "Come in!"
After getting her permission, she slammed the doors open and rushed into the room. She immediately noticed a handsome man sitting behind a desk, his eyes were black like ink while his hair was curly and red like a pale rose.
Currently his ink-like eyes were staring deep into her soul, well, that is what she felt at the very least. As the maid blankly gazed at him, a flicker of confusion shone in his eyes.
When the handsome man sensed her bewildered gaze he asked with a hint of displeasure, "What is it?"
When she noticed his displeasure, she returned to reality and composed herself. She then hastily said, "Sir Xander, something happened to the Young Lady…"
The handsome man furrowed his eyebrows and interrupted, "What happened?"
The maid thought, 'I was getting to that' but did not dare say it out loud and only continued to explain. Once she finished, the handsome man's expression shifted from worry to a smile.
Xander felt that his actions could cause some misunderstandings so he explained, “Her situation is no cause for concern, however what color was the flame?”
The maid answered, "Sir, it was an azure blue".
Once she finished, Xander immediately stood up and walked past her. When he did, he pat her head and whispered into her ears.
“I know that you and my daughter have a good relationship and is worried for her safety, but there is nothing to worry about.”
Once Xander was out of the room, he gestured for the maid to exit it as well. After which, the doors of the room beeped and locked themselves. He left the maid who stood still by the doors, and when he was gone, she released a breathe of relief.
She thought, 'I hope Liz is okay'.
Xander walked towards another pair of doors, but this was neither the entrance to his office nor was it for his daughter's bedroom. He knocked on the door before entering through it, there he saw a beautiful lady who gave off a mature demeanor.
The lady had eyes as blue as the sea, hair as red as roses, and a flawlessly white skin. Her body was shaped like a model, but her height was only 5'6.
A silvery voice entered his ears, "What is it hun?"
