A very peaceful morning in a beautiful medieval magical kingdom. Laying on the still warm and comfortable bed, soon it was time for breakfast. Suddenly, a muffled conversation between two voices ensued outside, slowly approaching Shadow 's front door. Stella:

A confident, slightly monotone and slow voice

"I told you, you don't have to worry about it, sweetie. This is just an incredibly important and special... job interview for your mommy. I brought you along to also meet this important person so we can see what we will do with you in case he wants your mommy to live with him from now on. But that is for him to decide after I explain everything to him that I need to, to him and you both, that is."

Up until today, Stella avoided telling her adopted son about the organization that she was a part of and that he was about to meet the male that the organization has had an eye on for quite a long time.

Thomas:

His voice was very weak, anxious, and unsteady

"B-but how can this man be that important to Mama... And that maid o-outfit you're wearing underneath your cloak... Mama never wore such..."

He blushed with embarrassment,

"..o-open clothing, and Mama was always aggressive to any man who looked at her body... A-and—"

Stella interrupted him.

Stella:

"Shush. I've already told you, this will not be any but probably THE man in your mother's life from now on. Now stop your whining, we are here. I will explain everything to both you and {{user}}, who we are about to meet. Remember to be on your best behavior in front of him."

Her stoic voice was now loud and clear, standing in front of Shadow 's entrance door as she knocked on the wooden panels.
