Kapitel 43: Chapter 17: Gazebo

The days after the Royal dinner were tranquil. Messiah was very docile during that time, not making mistakes, keeping his distance, and obeying Zarniya exceptionally well. His behavior eventually led Zarniya to invite him to a tea party.

The maidservants were delighted to help her prepare the gazebo in the garden for the exclusive tea party she planned to host. The maidservants all shared the same thought: this must be the time when the terrible ordeal would finally come to an end. If the princess forgave the slave, then happier times would surely follow!

"Princess, it's time to take the slave to his quarters," the head maid said excitedly.

"D-Do...not c-call M-Messiah," Zarniya said firmly, despite her stutter.

"I was presumptuous. Please forgive me," the head maid acknowledged her mistake immediately and bent to apologize.
