“My lady, are you alright?” Ipu’s voice trembled with concern as she leaned closer, her face pale and her wide-eyes filled with worry. Ever since Lady Daphne had woken up from her fall, everything had felt so off and out of place. The lady wasn’t her usual sharp-tongued, demanding, spoiled self. It was as though she had fallen into a distant, lost world only she could see. She didn’t know what was going on, but she could tell something was really, really wrong. But then, she was just a maid. Who was she to interfere in the decisions and lives of royalties?

For the past twenty minutes, Ipu and Keila had been calling her name, pleading for some kind of response, but Lady Daphne hadn’t uttered a single word. She simply sat there, staring into space, her expression unreadable, her breathing steady but shallow.
