That’s How Life Was

(From Blue's Perspective)

I relaxed in the hot water of the bath. "Your Highness, which oil would you like?"

"Um... Lemongrass," I replied.

My shoulders felt stiff and my head was killing me, but I still felt a bit relaxed. Perhaps it was because of the hot water.

"Your Highness, should I massage your shoulder?" Ruby asked.

"Oh, yes," I said quickly. 

She massaged my stiff shoulders and neck. "You really are a saint," I said. "Gosh, my shoulders were hurting a lot. Now it feels better."

"What are you saying, Your Highness? A saint and me? If anyone has to be that, it must be you."

"Haha, stop joking," I laughed. 

"No, I'm not joking, Your Highness. I'm telling the truth," she said. Even though I could not see her as she was behind me, I could tell she was giving puppy eyes.
