Once she was done preparing the prince room, she strolled the work way that led to the store where she was to return her working materials. It wasn't long and she was already standing in front of the store house. She paused as she looked at the door as if to study it more seriously. She remembered her first expression when she saw the place earlier, the place was huge and sharpened with fine polish. Another maid had directed her to the store house noting that she was the new maid. She had not paid much attention to the place earlier cause needed to hurry up with the prince room. A voice cleared behind her, startling her at the same time. She recollected her herself from her thoughts. An Amber eyed maid stood behind her, her thick wavy blonde hair resting it's length on both side of her shoulders. Her hands were brought to a tie as she tucked her fingers in-between each other while holding the handle of her working materials in them."Mm... I believe you mean to be here." Her tender voi

Martha followed sheepishly behind Landon as he led the way, she was trying to keep up with his pace, he was walking fast while holding her not realizing he was too fast for her. He just needed to get her out of that environment. After they had walked some distance he stopped making her hastened steps to halt as well, he let go of her hand turning slowly to face her. She was silent her head bent avoiding his gaze, she was still embarrassed that he had witnessed such scene and at the same time she was scared to tell him about his mother's wristband. "You don't need to worry about me I'm fine, so please go back to your duty." She said softly and pleadingly, moving her steps closer to the wall. Landon couldn't believe this woman right now, he knew she was hurting seriously from the whip and even though she tried so hard to hide her teary eyes from him he could tell she was teary. Her voice also bore her sadness and it was killing him to see her like that. He wanted to protect her always,

"Mother...." She turned back to meet her mother who was already out of bed and walking towards her. Queen Audrey felt a ton of relieve seeing that she was safe, she walked in a haste towards Elnora pulling her into her embrace, Elnora didn't expect the sudden hug so she delayed in reciprocating, she figured her mother was acting out of worry for her. She sighed, loosening herself, her arms stretched out to wrap around her mother. After a brief moment they seperated from each other's embrace. Queen Audrey let her hand cup Elnora's face, her breath still heavy recovering from her previously anxious state."You got me scared." She said in a low voice. Elnora could feel her emotions in her words, she didn't want it be like this, she was finally awake, all she needed from her family was for them to be happy and enjoy every moment from now on but they were too busy worrying every second about her and suffocating her with protection. She knew it was for the best but couldn't help how it made

By the time Dahlia returned to help the princess fit into her dress, she found her already dressed in her undergarments."I apologise for coming late my lady." She said, her head slightly bent."It's fine Dahlia, I didn't expect you to know the time I'd be done in there." Her sweet voice calmed the tensed up heart of Dahlia who was already cursing herself within. Dahlia raised her head, her eyes falling on the enchanting smile that Elnora waved at her, she smiled back nervously."You really don't mind?" She asked with every hint of caution in her voice. Elnora's face settled with a frown observing the uneasy attitude she had been displaying so far. She was curious to know what Dahlia thought about her. It seemed to her that Dahlia was scared of her, maybe her father but would still because of her. She knew how jealously her father guarded her and would not blink to purnish anyone who went wrong with her, it had been a serious trouble for her over the years knowing the extent her father

Rose looked down on her twisted hands and chuckled almost unnoticed. Even though Elnora had been looking closely she missed the quick moment of amusement Rose just had. It was unbelievable to think, there was no other person capable of doing that aside the human demon. She couldn't resist to entertain a stupid thought that popped in her mind, what if he did all that demon manifestation just to scare her so he could steal her food. The image of his transformation registered in her head again but it didn't scare her like it had done before. This was all strange to her, despite witnessing all this that seemed too unbelievably true, she still managed to keep her cool and not alert anyone about her discovery. Why did she feel safe with him at a point and scared to her bones for the same person. Why did she feel the need to protect him earlier instead of screaming to alert the guards? It was indeed so strange to her. She had been staring into space oblivious, dipped in her thoughts. She blin
