Chapter 65
“Ha…”
Elena opened her eyes. The dim light of the candles and lanterns flickered in the darkness. She had laid down for a short rest, but it seemed the sun had already set.
“Ah, my lady.”
The head maid, who was dozing off next to her, got up in a hurry and bowed.
“It must be night already. I’ve put you through a burden.”
Elena faintly smiled, and the maid bowed even lower, humbled by Elena’s words.
“It is my natural obligation. Here, let me change your wet towel.”
“No, I don’t think I have a fever anymore. I would like to sit for a while.”
“Of course, my lady.”
Elena took the head maid’s carefully held out hand, stood up from her large bed, and walked towards a soft chair.
“Did the children head to the banquet?”
“Yes, it has already been a couple of hours. Here you are, my lady.”
“Thank you.”
