Kapitel 74: Midnight eyes that follows her

Upon entering the dimly lit room, Anastasia quickly placed the tray on the side table before walking to each window and drawing the curtains apart. She then opened the windows to let fresh air inside the room. 

"It is morning already," murmured Princess Emily, still in bed, her voice laced with sleep. 

"Good morning, Princess Emily," Anastasia greeted her. Returning to the bedside, she offered the glass of juice to the princess. "Did you sleep well?" 

"I did," Princess Emily smiled, and she returned the question, "How about you, Anna?" Caught off guard and unsure what to say, Anastasia simply nodded while the princess consumed half of the glass of juice before resting it on her lap. 

Anastasia quickly walked to the bathtub and began to draw a warm bath for the princess while hearing Princess Emily remark, 

"You look pretty today, Anna. You should always let your hair down like this. It makes you look younger."
