Things Have Been Changed

Oriana was visibly sleep-deprived.

After she woke up from her nightmare, she was too shaken to go back to sleep. She decided to make good use of the time and continued studying the book of witchcraft until the first rays of the sun lit the horizon.

After hiding the book within the room, Oriana headed downstairs to head to the servant quarters before attending to her morning duties. Anxiety could be seen within her eyes. 

'I am yet to even read half of that book. Don't know what that woman would do. Knowing how wicked she is, she would probably punish me.' She gritted her teeth. 'One thing is sure. I won't let her use this excuse to back down from teaching me today. By all means, I will get her to teach me.'

Calming herself down, she hurriedly freshened up and stepped out of her room, changing into a fresh pair of servant's uniform.
