Aliana has to be Impartial

When Aliana was alone in her room she let out a long sigh. She was happy to have a moment to herself before being surrounded by people for the next few weeks at the ceremony and then traveling.

She liked it here in Eddis, everyone was mostly laid back and amicable. Aliana knew that Theocans could be a rigid and harsh people and she would have to think through her actions more than she had now.

Edith and Janie came in after knocking on the door and got her bath ready for her. Aliana undressed and waited for the bath to be filled. The castle had endless amounts of hot water due to the hot springs that ran underneath it, they had intricate water systems that made it flow throughout the castle into baths.

When the tub was done filling up Aliana sank down into it. Edith walked in with a glass of wine and handed it to the princess. She looked up gratefully at her faithful maid and smiled. "You are amazing, Edith."

"You looked a bit stressed, Princess," Edith said softly.
