- Chapter 14 -

The next day arrives, and the aftermath of the recent attack is still apparent. The house, once peaceful and tidy, now shows signs of the previous night's chaos.

Furniture overturned, broken items littered on the floor, and faint bloodstains on the walls serve as stark reminders of the struggle that had occurred.

Helia and Anna, along with other maids, set to work, determined to repair the damage and clean the mess left behind.

Whispers and rumors spread among the staff members about the identity and motives of the attackers.

During a break, Helia learns that the masked men belonged to a group whose aim was to bring down the Zenin household.

In response to the attack, an emergency meeting was hastily organized, bringing together the most influential figures in the sorcerer world.

The purpose of the gathering is to discuss the recent attack on the Zenin household and devise a plan to deal with the hostile group behind it.

[...]

As the afternoon sun begins to sink, the emergency meeting draws to a close. The participants disperse, each carrying their own thoughts and concerns about the attack on the Zenin house.

Meanwhile, within the walls of the house, Helia and the other maids continue their task of cleaning and repairing the premises, working diligently to restore order after the previous night's turmoil.

Helia finds herself in a corridor, focusing on cleaning a particular section where traces of blood from the previous night's fight still linger. The sight of the bloodstains served as a reminder of the violence that had occurred.

With a hint of unease, she cleans the area, trying to erase any lingering evidence of the attack.

Helia is lost in her own thoughts, when she suddenly hears a voice break the silence behind her.

"Oh, hello tea girl!"

The unexpected sound catches her off guard, and she pauses for a moment, turning her attention to the source of the voice.

The familiar face of Gojo Satoru greets her, his cheerful tone ringing through the hallway. His magnificent blue eyes are locked on her. She stops whatever she was doing to answer him.

"Hello sir!" She replies, her voice full of surprise.

Gojo smiles warmly at her polite greeting, his eyes studying her closely.

"Hey there, no need to be so formal." He replies, his voice light and nonchalant. "Just call me Gojo, or Satoru if you prefer."

Helia responds unsure if she is allowed to call him like that. "Alright...Gojo."

He notices the hint of uncertainty in her tone, and his smile softens slightly. He waves a hand dismissively.

"Oh, don't worry about being allowed to address me informally." He reassures her. "I don't mind at all. In fact, I prefer it."

She nods before speaking again. "I didn't expect to meet you here si- Gojo."

He chuckles lightly, amused by her awkward attempt to address him. He leans against the wall, his gaze fixed on her.

He glances around, seemingly checking to see if anyone is listening. Satisfied that they're alone, he lowers his voice slightly and starts speaking about the recent meeting.

"I was there at the urgent meeting earlier." He explains. "Quite the situation we have on our hands."

"Oh, you must have heard about the attack then." She asks in a low tone.
