Cruel

It was Elle's former maid – the maid who had been secretly working with Brandon Haze to spy on her. What… What was she doing here?

Elle grabbed the fork that she had been hiding behind her, eyeing the maid with a narrowed and distrustful gaze.

"Hello, Princess." she greeted as Elle struggled to rise. 

"I came here to help you get dressed. Because once you're presentable enough, they will finally let you out of this room." The maid continued, even smiling kindly at her.
