“No, we're not going to do something suicidal.” Cyzarine exaggerated as she took the shoes from Fen.

“According to the schedule today, we'll only clean the first floor but first let's go inside.”

She said hurriedly to the heiress while climbing the stairs in front of the slightly elevated white mansion. Two guards posted on the main entrance proceeded to open the polished two wooden doors for them which has two tall plants on both sides of the entrance.

As soon as they entered, a long staircase greeted their. And Xanthe, a yellow female Labrador Retriever, sitting beside the stairs with a key on its mouth. Cyzarine walked quietly towards a large, round cabinet installed on the wall on the left side near the entrance and pressed a button beside it.

The cabinet rotated, revealing steel racks of shoes and slippers inside with a bright white light. The first two racks belong to Casper followed by four racks for Aricia. Cyzarine has two racks and lastly, Basilia's footwear occupies three racks. Their names were carved on every rack.

The current master of the house took a pair of purple slippers from her racks and put them on. Another button was pressed which made the rack rotate itself and showed more footwear. Cyzarine glanced at Fen's shoes and then took a pair of pink slippers. She dropped them beside Fen before closing the cabinet.

“Xanthe! Come here.”

The three-year old dog walked towards them.

“She'll be your companion in this house until you become familiar with the house's layout. ” Cyzarine said to the heiress while petting the happy dog. “Bathrooms, kitchen, living room, tell Xanthe where do you want to go and she'll guide you there. She knows everyone's scent in this house so she can help you find one of us for as long you know our name. Xanthe's perfect for this job.”

As the girl said these words, her usual monotone voice shifted slightly to a more vibrant one. Though toned-down, Cyzarine showed hints of satisfaction talking about her dog- the second dog she owned and personally took care of since its infancy.

Considering Fen's personality, the girl intentionally chose the Labrador because of its unreserved temperament, friendly eyes, and one of the most favoured dog breeds. Even she has more pets available, they aren't generally viewed as 'good dog breeds' by the majority. And their looks aren't as friendly as a Labrador's.

“Make your voice a bit sterner so she'll follow your orders and see you as above her. Pet her if she followed your orders correctly.”

She gently took the key and hand it over Fen.

“Your room is upstairs. It's called ‘Acker’. Take a 15-minute rest before you start cooking. If you're going to order Xanthe, just say 'go Acker'.

And... do you have any more questions?”

While waiting for a response, a small black cat with white paws descended the staircase quietly.
