Bab 269: Shall we have an affair?

In the middle of the night, I opened my eyes, only to see it was still dark. My throat felt parched and I dragged myself to sit up straight, looking around at the dim room. 

'Sam didn't return tonight again.' I thought as I rubbed my eyes. I checked the side table, but a glass of water wasn't there. 

Lena hadn't been here, and I dismissed Mildred immediately earlier. A deep sigh slipped past my lips as my urge to drink water increased. 

'I'll just grab one, then.' I told myself, flinging my legs out of the bed, and walked towards the door. The third prince's palace was like a cold palace, as it was almost deserted of servants. I preferred the quietness, though, and the privacy of the lack of servants.
