Theodora somehow managed to convince Zerith for allowing her to stay on his property. In the end, she had to use her strongest and undefeatable weapon against him- Bertha.
Theodora didn't know how Bertha managed to convince him, but he agreed at the last minute. And now Theodora already stood in that two-storey house with her things that would be sufficient for weeks.
Bertha had taken three maids with her to clean the house and arrange the furniture and other things in the house.
Theodora had taken the same coachman with her who knew her secret as she couldn't trust anyone else. Zerith wanted to send some guards for security, but Theodora refused, saying that will draw unnecessary attention to the place.
Besides, she was sure she was able to protect herself with Bertha and the coachman. She tactfully avoided taking more servants with her, and Bertha didn't insist because she knew what was exactly Theodora was planning.
