59. What It Means To Lose It

Mauve's mind churned as she heard the door burst open. "Princess!" Vae cried as she rushed to her side.

Mauve raised her head from her palm and hung onto her maid, sobbing.

"What is wrong, princess?" Vae asked, her forehead furrowed with confusion and worry.

"I may have committed a grave sin and the gods have it out for me." Mauve cried into her arms.

Vae's brows dipped in confusion. "Whatever do you mean princess?"

Mauve flung the sheet she had used to cover herself, exposing her naked self to Vae. A gasp flew out of the maid's mouth and she said, "Oh princess." She then hugged Mauve tighter. "I can't believe the vampire King actually laid with you." The joy in her voice was apparent.

"There is something wrong with me," Mauve muttered, tears streaming down her face. She had barely heard what Vae had said.
