Back in the castle away from anyone's sight, Asuka and the rest of the maids were restlessly watching over Stella as she slowly fell asleep. Having had their master taken away for treason to the crown, their heart pumped filled with angst showed no sign of calm. Cradling the child in her arms, Asuka kept a stern watch over her to not disappoint her master.
'Fay and Master's child…I wonder if I can have one someday?' Despite knowing the true story behind Stella's birth, Asuka couldn't help feeling jealous whenever someone called the child Fay and Haruki's daughter. 'Even though everyone knows, he adores me the most, the thought of bearing his offspring feels like a much different kind of bond.'
"Miss Rose?!" Squealed out one of the many maids surrounding the bed Asuka was laying on with the child.
