Chapter 76. The visit

"Who would be knocking at my door right now?" But, it was Aeinshia who voiced out her concern. Afternoon was rare time for visits. Everyone would be busy with their duties and the maids would be preparing the necessities for the royals. 

So, the other royals, mostly princesses and the queens of the Emperor, would be having leisure time during afternoons. For, Aeinshia too, this was time to relax or do some tasks, such as simply reading or drawing something. 

Sophia glanced at Aeinshia, silently asking for the permission for answering the door. Aeinshia nodded in her direction and she too got up from her small personal dining table. 

While Sophia went to answer the door, Aeinshia cleaned her mess with a napkin and straightened the folds of her robes as there was a visitor at her door. 

When she glanced at the door, her mouth slacked a bit, at the unexpected visitor.
