CHAPTER 209: The Blush

"Is that a blush I see?" 

Aella snapped out of her head and looked up when she heard Ralia say something. Her mother and the handmaid were both staring at her as she blinked back at them.

"What?" she frowned, not understanding why they were looking at her that way.

"Indeed, she is blushing!" her mother pointed out with a large smile which made Aella cover her cheeks immediately.

"N-No, I am not!" she protested and looked away from them.

"Do not deny. We can see it. What were you thinking about to make turned into a ripe tomato, young lady?" her mother playfully swatted her arm but Aella didn't relent.

"I said I am not blushing!" she gritted out and tried her best not to break a smile or she would be blowing her cover.
