Once she was certain that the Prince could stand and move without her further assistance, Maria went off to the side, out of the way of the group as they made their final preparations to return, and say goodbye to the man who had allowed them to take the orb. Not that she would've cared if he had or hadn't given permission, the orb wasn't his nor the dead's to keep. Regardless, once Gaspar was ready to bring them back, Maria stepped forward, arms folded as she watched him punch the bracelet, disappointment clear on her expression.
"Gaspar, I highly doubt that hitting the poor thing is going to do anymore than ruin our ability to safely return-" Maria began, only to be cut off abruptly once the bracelet let off a briliant, blinding light that engulfed everyone nearby, before being assaulted by the same sensation that came with the first time she was transported to another world. Then, as abruptly as it began, it stopped, leaving both her, the Prince, and everyone else in the same spot they had originally been, elders and the help staring at them.
"... I stand corrected. Clearly I can't comprehend how these devices are meant to operate" the maid muttered, pinching the spot between her eyes in annoyance before refocusing on the conversation at hand, another wave of annoyance passing over her once they revealed that barely any time had passed since they left. At least for the elders. In a way it was actually a bit of a blessing, it would be easier to hide the existence of what they were doing, seeing it would barely take any time to actually do it.
"Regardless of how much time passed for you, the first orb has been retrieved" Maria stated, gesturing to Irina, who Maria was certain she saw holding the orb just a few moments ago.
