"Princess Aria!" Lady Leah made a sudden appearance behind her.

"Whaaa?!" Princess Aria shrieked, frightful spasms coursed through her body. "You scared me for a moment." She held onto her chest, trying to steady her racing heart.

"I had wondered where you were." Lady Leah bowed. "Were you bullied by the His Majesty?"

"I... Uh..." She turned around, tugging on the cashmere coat tightly.

"That's the Sire's coat!" Lady Leah's lips quivered. "Why are you wearing it? Unless..." She gasped at the thought which crossed her mind.

"I might as well be frank with you." She pulled off the coat, revealing the dress underneath. "Don't freak out, I was given the coat to cover my umm... problem."

"What happened to you?" She rushed over, examining the damage, "It was such a lovely dress, whoever did this must have been a beast."
