The tea party proceeded peacefully, and Zarniya wished for Messiah to keep his distance from her until the eldest's banquet transpired.
Just that, two days had passed, and it was the dawn of the beginning of the eldest's banquet. She knew that she had made up her mind…
"Princess, breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it in the bedroom, or would you like to have your meal in the dining hall?"
"Princess, we've prepared lukewarm water. Please wash your face with it."
"There's also a glass of water or warm milk you can drink."
"Princess, would you like to take a bath? We've prepared your dress. We should have you ready for the banquet."
"Princess, should we comb your hair?"
The maidservants entered her bedroom one by one, keeping a respectful distance. They were too courteous and accommodating. They were the same people who had been there before, but they were not the same.
