Chapitre 12: Chapter 12: Lady Jade

Swan dipped her feet slowly into the bathtub. It was quite hot for her, who was used to taking a cold shower every day, even during winter. But it didn't take her long to adjust and dipped her entire body up to her neck.

She began reorganizing her thoughts once more as she realized that she hadn't been abandoned by Gale after he took her virginity. Considering how she was still allowed to keep her attendants, Myra and Maya, this meant that Gale still cared about her.

'But why?'

That question lingered in her mind.

'Why would he still care about me after he had what he wanted? What use do I have now?'

She had been living in the maid's quarter her whole life. She realized that once a maid wasn't useful anymore, be it getting hurt to the point of being unable to do normal servant duty or getting too old, they would be kicked out of the palace to live on their own.

Wouldn't that be the case for Swan as well?
