Mana watched Amelda curiously. He really was a fascinating person for a thief. She had to fight down giggles at watching him act so flustered while he moved around the kitchen.

Looking around told her immediately at this was nothing like the palace's kitchen. Nothing could compare to the palace, but then, she had never lived anywhere else. 'So this is what a commoner home is like,' she thought without disdain or malice. 'I like how it's so small and cozy.'

How you like how this goes Aibou! <3 And thanks for posting ch1!

Much love to you dear, this shall be so fun! XXD
