The Princess

Most of the meal discussions were around the war and stuff, so all three brothers felt it was convenient that their sister stay away as much as possible.

But Marcella felt strange. She finished her breakfast and, without wasting time, left to check on Marcella to find out what was going on with her. 

"Let Princess know that I have come to visit," Marcella stood outside of Genie's Chamber.

"But my lady….." The maid looked visibly confused and panicked at what she should do.

"What's the matter?" Marcella asked when she saw the maid unwilling to enter the chamber.

"Pardon me, my lady, but the princess has ordered not to let anyone in her chamber until she says otherwise. 

"Why? Is she ill? Did you check?" Marcella asked, concerned.

The princess did not come for breakfast, nor did she stay longer yesterday after seeing off her parents.
