Kazhan was nearly healed, her breathing steadier as Mira knelt beside her. Though the youngest maid in the mansion, Mira was the most gifted when it came to using natural energy for healing.
In this world, natural energy was the source of all power. Its manipulation was known as Vinx—a sacred art passed down through clans. Each clan shared a signature Vinx style, but some individuals evolved their techniques or forged unique ones of their own. Those born of mixed lineage could access Vinx from both bloodlines, often unlocking rare combinations.
Mira's clan had always lived in servitude, bound by loyalty to the royal kingdom of Dokah. They served generals, nobles, and the most affluent families without question. Mira's entire family had long served the Verks household—Ninhu's family.
"Thank you, Mira… for healing my back," Kazhan whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Mira smiled gently. "No need to worry. That's what I'm here for," she said softly.
Ninhu stepped forward, his voice trembling. "My father gave all the maids permission to ignore me and Kazhan… but you're the only one who helps us. I'm truly grateful."
He bowed his head, and tears of joy streamed down his face—relieved to see his sister recovering, even if only for a moment.
