218 The Past

"Princess Eleanora! Please wake up."

Eleanora opened her eyes slowly and turned her head to look at Lily, who was almost ready to jump. Sometimes, she found the girl's energy tiring to even look at. Today was one of those days. She'd barely had any sleep and woken up with no memory of nightmares only her wet face left behind by tears. So, it wasn't enough to know that she was crying but she had no idea why she had been crying.

Eleanora studied the maid's face and sighed inwardly. The last time she had bee this excited, she'd had to endure a date with that Prince Augustus. What was it going to be this time?

"Lily. You have to stop waking me up every time I try to sleep."

"But Princess, you won't believe who has come." 

Eleanora rolled her eyes at the maid and shook her head," If it is Prince Augustus, then tell him that I have the pox and so I am unavailable to meet. And since its just started so the disease will probably last all month."
