“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.”
