While the three of them were chatting, Grace, Imogen Lilliette, and another girl were preparing sweets and lunch in another clean white room.
"Grace, you go get some rest. We can handle it here, so it's fine!" Imogen Lilliette persuaded multiple times, but to no avail.
"It's alright. This is part of my duty anyway." Grace gave a weak smile. "But it does seem that there's nothing for me to do to contribute here. I'll just go out and buy some daily necessities for the next few days."
"Don't worry, just go. But don't forget the way back. Or should I accompany you?" Imogen Lilliette offered as she peeled a small potato.
"No, it's fine," Grace declined.
"You be careful then."
As she flicked away the water on her hands, Grace walked out of the kitchen. A trace of gloom flashed across her face.
She quickly walked out of the corridor into the courtyard, heading straight for the entrance.
