Merlin returned to her lab exhausted to the bones, and she could even feel her magic veins pulsing deep within her flesh. She had used a lot of magic, abused her own body and soul, and even turned into an abomination. She needed to rest a bit, but sadly, for a wizard, that was just impossible. She walked into the inner lab, and the ten maids standing there approached her.
Each one of those maids was an accomplished wizard who was here just to support Merlin and assist in her research. They were her caretakers and assistants. None of them were scouted by Isdis, but the last one is an unwilling participant, a witch who tortured countless people for her magical experiments and was sentenced to death, only for Merlin to snatch her away. Such knowledge and talent shouldn't be just thrown into the trash.
