Why Do You Treat Me So Differently?

The next morning, Mia woke up holding Sharkie, alone in a huge bedroom that was overly-furnished. She sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes with her little hands before looking around the unfamiliar room.

It was a deluxe room fit for a princess; it had been personally arranged by the Emperor for his precious little granddaughter. The walls had been painted gold, closely matching the glow of the morning sun that shone through the open windows. Mia's bed was so soft, she felt as though she would sink into it. This bedroom was probably the best in the Rohlserlian Empire; not even the Emperor's bedroom could compare to it.

"Mm… So soft! Uh-oh. I don't wanna get up…" Mia murmured lazily, rolling around in the bed as she basked in its comfort. Although her bed at Da Xue was good, it was nothing compared to this one. 

A maid quietly stepped out of a corner of the room. She had hidden for a while, only showing herself when she was sure that Mia had woken up.
