SONIA welcomed Pamela into her assigned guestroom and told her what happened from beginning to end. Somewhere along the line, she realized a maid was on hand. In all likelihood, Chris had arranged for her to be here. She was often impressed by the sensitivity shown in his kind consideration, but he hadn’t chase after her this time.

Isn’t this one of the most important times to go after the girl? It only drove the nail in further.

“Sir Chris has only resigned himself to marry me because of the ‘King’s orders’...” Sonia said. That fact made her vision waver and blur once more. “That’s why he insists on calling me ‘Princess’ rather than my name.”

The suspicion had drifted in her head hazily, never taking a clear form. Run ragged with the chaos of the supernatural disturbances, she tried not to add another element of unrest to the pile. Perhaps that was why her heart laid a thin curtain over her doubts. But now that those strange occurrences had calmed down, the curtain opened for her to face her “marriage” anew. And in doing so, she found...

“Sonia...have some tea,” Pamela suggested, placing the cup and saucer in front of her. “I know she’s your handmaid, but given the circumstances, I took it upon myself to ask her to brew it.”

Pamela urged again, “Have some,” before Sonia picked the cup up. There were also snacks such as biscuits and a layered cake arranged on the beautifully carved oval table. When Sonia looked with bloodshot eyes at the maid at her side, the woman smiled softly and bobbed her head.

“...Thank you,” Sonia said and sipped the amber tea with steam rolling and swaying from the cup. Mild sweetness wet her dry mouth, easing her nerves. Only now did she realize how scratchy and dry her mouth felt from crying too much.

“Pamela, you’re amazing.”

“How so?”

Sonia softly smiled at the bewildered look on Pamela’s face from suddenly being paid a compliment.

“You can see how I’m doing and show your concern without being overbearing. You’re able to gently give me exactly what I want... I’ve always admired that about you, clear back to our days at the abbey. You do it so casually but with a warmth that melts the troubles bogging down my heart. The acts of kindness you show have that power, Pamela... I’m sure you’ll make some lucky man very happy.”

After silently listening to Sonia’s confession, Pamela growled back in a deep voice, “That’s not true,” surprising Sonia. She dropped her gaze as if to cut Sonia out of her line of sight as she continued.

“You only think that because I was too afraid to do otherwise. I was always second-guessing everyone, desperate to ensure they didn’t grow to hate me. Unlike you, I was afraid of getting hurt if I wore my emotions on my sleeve or was true to myself.”

“Pamela... I didn’t realize you—”

“Anyway, let’s return to the topic at hand, shall we? The way Sir Chris is treating you is a much bigger problem than me, isn’t it?” Pamela asked, lifting her head up with a smile.
