Letter from the Empress

"Dear Luiza,

This is Gaia. I want to invite you to the castle for a private meeting with you. Will you make some time to enjoy the afternoon tea with me? I am sure we have many things to talk about.

Yours sincerely,

Gaia Moonstone"

It was a short letter from the queen. 

The queen of Eunoia had sent her a letter, and she had the same surname as Luiza. She could barely comprehend the situation after all; why would such a high-status person ever even send her a letter?

Her thoughts dwindled, and she went back to sleep.

She saw a little house with a framed roof. There was a magnolia tree that was blooming. She stood in front of the tree, took a flower, and ran back inside the house. She stood at the door, gazing towards her mother, who was busy making the meal.
