170: The decision made

“Are you done with your talk? I am being assigned to you to look after your health and well-being while you stay here. The princess has taken a shine to you and asked me to do that” the naked woman who had accompanied her to the royal palace found Maria as soon as she exited the compound.

Her voice sounded annoyed at being made to play babysitter but Maria was surprised to hear about a princess.

Why had this person never been mentioned before? Even the queen had not hinted about the existence of a princess before now?

“The princess? Do you have a whole royal family? But the queen-” Aurora started, only to stop herself short. These people had never seen their queen’s face, much less known about her condition.

Maria was not sure if the queen was even capable of reproducing in the state she had been. So unless she had been desperate for an heir, there was no way the queen was responsible for the existence of the princess.
