"Hm?" Rima stopped in her tracks, turned around and saw a young girl in servant's earthy yellow robes running over.
"You are?" Rima found her somewhat familiar but didn't recognise her.
Huff! Huff!
The servant girl took a few deep breaths before respectfully bowing, "Greetings, Milady. I'm your maid, Nia, reporting on duty."
"Oh, so you are the one they assigned to me." Rima nodded in realization. When she got her identity badge and other things, the lady in charge had told her she would get a maid to handle some minor tasks for her."
"Yes, It's me, Milady." Nia nodded.
"Sorry, I was in a hurry to begin my cultivation, so I didn't wait for you to arrive." Rima apologized, realizing she had made her wait outside her courtyard for several days. Seeing her disheveled self, she knew she hadn't probably eaten or bathed for several days now because she couldn't risk leaving and missing the chance to report to her.
