After the ladies left, Emmelyn sat down in her lounge and sorted the gifts she had received while humming. Seeing the pile of gifts made her so happy and excited.
Ahh.. those gifts from the queen were the best, she thought. She was grateful to have such a thoughtful mother-in-law.
Emmelyn then asked her maids to bring most of the gifts from the queen to her chamber, while the others' gifts like herbs, potion, and sweets to the kitchen. Once everything was done. she took a rest on her bed.
Today felt so tiring, she didn't really know why. Emmelyn closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind from stressful things, like the royal ball invitation from the queen earlier.
"Honey, how was the tea today?"
Emmelyn opened her eyes one by one when she heard Mars' gentle voice from the door.
Sure enough, she saw the man was walking inside their chamber almost tip-toeing, because he thought she was asleep. Mars looked tired as well.
