"I'll think about it."
I said putting my robe on.

Exiting the bathhouse I glanced at his blue citrine eyes.

"I'll give you my answer by tomorrow, how should I contact you?"

At my question, he handed me a white moonstone crystal bracelet.

"Press the button underneath the fourth crystal if you need me."

"Then I'll make sure to contact yo-"

"Huh-"

"My lady we have to hurry up, please follow me to the bedroom."

And just like that, he disappeared once again.

'He should stop doing that.'

Arriving at my bedroom I noticed the maids going in and out.
Everything was so hectic but they all looked so professional at their job.

"My lady what outfit would you like to wear today."

"Nora let's go with the royal blue silk mermaid dress from the Spring collection last year."

"From Lorene's Boutique?"

"Yes, that one."

"As you wish."

"Seraphine tell the other maids to get the dress ready,"
Nora instructed one of the junior maids as she was putting my blonde strands into a loose low bun.

The bun was decorated with cornflower petals and tiny baby blue sapphire gems.

After putting on the dress I left to go find Tessia but I ended up finding someone else on the way.

"Sister... are you leaving again?"
A sulking Esterlina came into my sight.
Her tearful appearance with pitiful red eyes took me by surprise.

"Can't I come with you sister? I promise I won't get in the way!"

'Ahh, she's grown attached.'
Just like in the original novel she's probably grown attached to me just like how she was fond of the original Aelia.

I crouched down to her eye level and wiped the tears.

"Slyv, it's okay, matter of fact I was on my way to mother. We could ask her if you could also move in with me. How about that? Don't cry okay?"

She clasped both hands together and smiled as bright as the sun, seeing her angelic appearance I would have mistaken her for the heroine of I hadn't read the novel.

"Yes, sister let's go."
She said pulling me along to Tessia's room.

I knocked twice before entering Tessia's bedroom.

I paused after glancing around the luxuriously decorated room.
Her room showed how much money the richest duchess in the Empire had.
