"Princess Marvella!" Nervous, Jerissa lowered her head to avoid her eyes, "Apologies, I didn't know you were coming!"
"No, I should be the one to apologize," Marvella uttered, helping her stand up straight, "Why were you out, by the way?"
"I… I couldn't sleep, so I walked around."
"You couldn't sleep too, huh… Me too. Actually, that is why I am here. Can you please prepare a warm bath for me?"
"Of course, your Highness. Please wait for me in the bathing room."
"Alright! Thank you so much!" Marvella then walked away with a smile on her lips.
The Rebel King's daughter gave her trust to her personal maid easily. Unlike most of the palace attendants, she observed that Jerissa was more reserved and quiet, probably shy, and Marvella felt at ease with her. She was thankful Jerissa's the one Ezekiel chose for her.
But, there was this rumor circulating the palace attendants lately. It was said that Jerissa was secretly meeting a man, deep into the night.
