Princess Niyasa's struggle

Music Recommendation: Ladies of the court- Johannes Lehniger

In the corridor outside the dining room, Emily, Aiden, and Aziel gathered at the far corner, watching Niyasa as she stared at the blood on the floor, which she had yet to start cleaning. The four dead bodies had been carried away, making it easier for the young princess to get to her assigned work. 

"Somebody get me a bucket of water and a mop!" Niyasa yelled, her voice echoing through the corridor. With Dante and their grandmother nowhere in sight, she had once again found her voice. In her frustration, she demanded, "Where are the servants?!" 

"They have returned to their daily tasks," Emily replied to her sister, not knowing if she was supposed to laugh or cry at her sister's stupidity. After witnessing their oldest brother make an Elder minister explode before their eyes, she was lucky to still be alive. 

"How am I supposed to get this cleaned then?" Niyasa asked with a frown.
