"Your Majesty," a female voice spoke, waking Evie up from her deep sleep.
As her senses came back to reality, she realized that she was sleeping in King Adamos' Chamber and they were probably calling for him.

Just as her heart was about to sank, the woman spoke again. "The King left early for the Royal Meeting, Your Majesty."
Evie immediately turned to the source of that voice. It was the King's head chamber maid and she was standing at the side of the bed.
