Celestia's feelings

The old maid Grace entered her Young Lady Eliana's chambers. She had cared for her and her sister since they were children as if they were her own daughters, so she was genuinely worried about her.

Yesterday Eliana disappeared without warning and did not return all night, and when she did she slept like a murdered woman, refusing even to move.

Although Grace didn't know how she had managed to get back to her room in such a state, she chose not to ask about it.

"Young Lady Eliana, it's time to get up."

Instead, her calm voice, gentle with old age, called out to her.

"Just a couple more minutes... N-no… Not there~ Mhhhhh~ you wicked~ brother~"

Part of Eliana's consciousness was still in a dream, but gradually she managed to push it away and wake up fully. And all to meet the wide-open eyes of the old maid.

"Young Lady, are you..."

Without finishing, she turned away.
