Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 772 - 12: The Maid Corps of the True Red Royal Court_3

Gradually, the existence of the four songstresses was also adapted to by the students, who no longer screamed and shouted upon seeing them as they did at the start of the school year, and the distinct styles of the four were clearly differentiated.

The one seen the least by the students was Shui Yanqing, this songstress from The Otherkind displayed poise and friendliness at the start of the term, but in daily life, seldom interacted with the ordinary students. The most famous was still Ores, who even after school started, had released new songs, causing a sensation in the Central Star Domain. Even Central Avenue was plastered with her life-size posters, her wide, luxurious silver hair and enchanting looks made many students fall for her.

Blanchi, on the other hand, was the songstress that the students found easiest to approach. She didn't put on airs and was easy to talk to, although occasionally a bit shy. But generally speaking, as long as she became familiar with the environment and wasn't under too much pressure, she was rather lively.

As for Hexia Tilan, this black-haired songstress remained extremely mysterious and elusive in the students' eyes. She always attended classes without drawing attention, quietly mingling with everyone before leaving as if she were a whiff of fragrance. Even at gatherings of songstresses, she was 'remarkably unremarkable.'

Initially, everyone was gradually becoming accustomed to her image, but that changed yesterday when a spacecraft from the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain arrived.

"This is the new residence of Lady Ti Lan, I presume?"

A group of black-haired, red-eyed girls stood in front of the mansion. They were dressed in specially tailored black and red maid dresses, with dried-blood-colored roses adorning the white hem of their skirts, lending an ancient elegance.

After class, Ti Lan opened the mansion's gates and then let the school's staff register each of these uniquely-identified maids. Soon, the previously quiet mansion became lively and even more so as compared to Ti Lan, the maids themselves were more excited.

"The Central Star Domain, eh? I never dared to dream that we would come here."

"It's the mansion designed by Princess Isenisha herself in the past."

"The facilities here are so complete and spacious, much better than the wisteria flower house Lady Ti Lan used to live in."

"Before, we could only take turns standing watch, but now we can finally live together."

"It's said we'll also have the opportunity to study alongside others, just that we can't ask questions."

...

"Alright, quiet down now," ordered Ran Bei'er as she stepped forward, her pink hair flowing over her elegant maid dress. This Blood Clan princess of Sequence 7 blinked her bright red eyes, sweeping over her fellow clan members below, causing the girls to fall silent and stand in order.

"This is the Central Star Domain, the Federation's safest and most strictly scrutinized area. Our entry here relies on the protection provided by Lady Ti Lan. From now on, everyone must remember the rules and prohibitions, and not bring shame upon Lady Ti Lan."

"Moreover, since we are currently acting in the capacity of maids, we need to become professional about it. Don't over-rely on transcendent abilities; take the time to learn the ceremonial customs and living skills seriously."

Like the Elves, the Blood Clan possesses extremely long lifespans, which leads to a sense of pride and difficulty in taking orders. If it weren't for the exceptionally special place Ti Lan held for them, it would be nearly impossible to have these members of the Blood Clan serve willingly.

They recognized very few people, but as it happened, Hexia Tilan, the songstress, was the only one they acknowledged at the moment.

"Yes, Lady Ran Bei'er," the maids replied in unison, parting into two rows to bow respectfully before beginning to clean and get acquainted with the entire mansion.

Since Ti Lan had no particular preferences for decor styles, the maids gradually introduced their own familiar preferences into the mansion, so much so that when Audrey visited a few days later, she was astounded at the sight before her.

The wide crimson curtains were drawn back, displaying patterns of dark red roses; the furniture style was uniformly changed to retro from the era of the True Red Empire. Maids with uniform black and red dresses, black hair, and red eyes moved about, seemingly elegant in their motions. Yet out of sight, they resembled phantoms, swiftly completing the cleaning and decorating of a room in an almost instantaneous flash, as if operating with some time-stopping device.

Sitting in the main hall on a black and red velvet throne chair, Ti Lan looked somewhat helplessly at Audrey as she walked in. Flanking her were the standing, yet slightly bowed, crimson maids who lowered their gazes in an appearance of respect, but their demeanor carried an intimidating air, as if they could at any moment pull out a hidden crimson rapier from beneath their maid dresses.

"These are the maids I brought from the Four-leaf Crystal. They actually have nice personalities, it's just that they're a little too zealous," Ti Lan explained, wishing to prevent any misunderstanding from her friend.
