Tenderly

"Darling, Princess Estella, and Princess Stella are still locked in their rooms." Namie said to Jirawut.

Jirawut nod. "I will go see them now."

"Good, good," Namie said, patting his arm.

He left to visit the Princess's room and breathe the air outside the door. He heard voices coming from inside the room.

After a few minutes, the door opened. "Hello, husband..." Estella said with a trembling voice.

He walked into the room and saw Estella crying. Her hair was all frizzy and she had bags under her eyes, making her look like a ghost. Princess Stella sat beside her sister, hugging her tightly.

"Estella, please don't cry. Everything will be okay. You know that."

"Mother is alive? But why did she try to shoot me?" Estella asked.

Jirawut stepped to her bedside. 

"You mustn't blame yourself. We did not think your mother would turn up with the Dark Spires. Now that we do know, we can resolve the situation. Please, calm down."
