The trio looked up and saw the little maid. She crouched down, gently picking up Gus. "Are you alright?" Jaq and Lan Youzheng glanced at each other. 'What is she doing here? How come didn't we notice her?' The little maid carefully examined Gus's injuries. "You look horrible. What happened to you?"

"Glad you asked!" Instead of being wary Gus responded happily. "I, Octavius the Third, Honorable mouse of the Thornburgh-Beau-" "Stupid! She can't understand you!" Jaq rebuked. "Why not?" Gus frowned. "You told me Miss Ella could understand Lan, so why can't she understand me?" Jaq facepalmed. "Look at her face..."

Gus looked at the little maid. "Can you understand us?" The little maid laughed. "Sorry little one, I don't know what you're saying." "Owh..." Gus showed a disappointed face, ignoring the 'See I told you' face Jaq made. However both mice failed to notice she just answered his question perfectly. "Don't worry, I'll heal you." The little maid petted Gus his head and carefully placed him into one of her skirt's pockets. The she picked up the other two and put them in her skirt as well. 

'System, who is she?'

[She is Cinderella's maid. Host, why are you asking the obvious?]

'Uhg...How could I forget you are really bad at giving proper answers.' Lan Youzheng's forgotten grudge against came back to his mind. 'No matter how smart System pretends to be, at his core he is still useless!' 'System, do you have more information about her?'

[System cannot find any information]

'This is useless, I keep going in circles. What am I missing? Everything is not going as planned but the mission is still the same. I need to make sure everything goes correctly. Okay, let's return to the basics.' Lan Youzheng sighed. 'Then System, can you give me the original fairy tale?'

[Searching database]

[System has retrieved information]

[Display source material]

Lan Youzheng carefully read the story, but he couldn't find any leads. 'System, once again what exactly is my mission?'

[Host's mission is to reconstruct the true fairy tale]

Lan Youzheng felt like he had all the pieces but he wasn't able to connect them.

[Sorry Host, System doesn't understand either]

'I already knew you were useless...'

While Lan Youzheng was conversing with System, the little maid was walking towards her room to get some gauze for Gus. However before she got to her room, a scream blasted though the mansion. "Oh, t-that's Miss Ella!" The little maid looked at the mice. "I'm sorry little one, you will have to wait for a bit." She quickly walked towards her mistress room.

"You, where is my afternoon snack?!" were the greeting words the little maid got when she entered the study. Behind the desk sat Cinderella looking sharply at the little maid. "You know, I was working...." The little maid trembled. "AND WHEN I GOT HUNGERY THERE WAS NOTHING!!!"
