The night was long, yet morning came no matter how long Amie closed her eyes. Her maid was quick to draw a bath while she remained in bed, wondering of how to handle her parents. Since Prince Thelmus' failed coronation, she had not met the king. When she went out into the city, only very few knew what she looked like, so she had let the entire situation roll by. Only when she introduced herself as Miss Krain, did many turn to stare and even greet politely. She then only realized that this matter between herself and the king was not over. Still, she had not the mind to tell her parents. She wondered why the king had yet to clarify their relationship. She had thought about it for long and come to the conclusion that there was more to this than she had thought. She was stupid to think getting out of the title of King's bethrothed would be easy.
"Miss, i've drawn you a bath. Come enter while it's warm." her maid, Beth said. Amie nodded and got up slowly.
