Miriam’s blonde maid was completely focused on me as she approached us in the Dining Hall...
December 8, 2025
NOTE: I am about halfway through the next Combat Healer chapter (been working on it when I can over the last couple of weeks and was hoping to post it, but couldn't get through a whole chapter). So assuming I can finish it this next week, then that's what I'll be posting.
Because of the feedback in the last few chapters, I've become very uncertain every time I post a chapter (because it's only requiring 'minor adjustments' to go from 'not fine' to 'fine' and that makes it feel like I'm walking a very fine line between 'hate this direction' vs 'love this direction').
So I'm not 100% sure how you guys will feel about this chapter. I 'think' you'll like it, but there were also problems with the last two that I hadn't anticipated.
If you need me to clarify or modify something, I can certainly do that, but I'm hoping we are past the point of this general idea being a problem (after the changes I made the last few chapters). But if not, let me know. If all it requires is a simple adjustment to a sentence here or there, then I can certainly do that.
At the end of the day, the entire point of this 'ruse' is to be a 'fun thing,' and so if it's not fun then I'm clearly missing the mark. Sometimes it's just a mismatch of what I 'think' is being communicated vs how it actually comes off. Just let me know.
Hope you enjoy!

FEEDBACK: Thoughts?
1. Thoughts on Amber's games? (We've got three of them introduced in this chapter.)
2. Thoughts about Amber's reaction to realizing he's part-incubus? (It will be addressed again, but Miriam's reaction kind of saved the day.)
3. Thoughts on Miriam hiring Cherry and/or Candy? (Even if part-time, the goal would again be meant as a fun thing.)
4. Any concerns with this chapter, or have I resolved the issues? (I can make adjustments if needed. Ideally, I would hope you guys are enjoying the story, not having reservations. So let me know which way you're leaning with this chapter. And yes, the goal is to get back into the main plot soon. These chapters are partially meant to get a feel for who Amber really is as a person, something that may help them gather some important clues.)
