章 36: 36. An apology

Vae pushed open the door to see a sleepy-eyed Mauve look back at her. She was still in bed and her hair was a mess. "Did you just wake up, Princess?"

Mauve rubbed her eyes and slowly answered, "Yes," her words sounded drawled. She yawned loudly and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

"Would you like to eat now or do you want a bath first?"

"A bath please," she yawned some more. "I can't sleep anymore but I feel as though I am not fully awake yet."

She rubbed her eyes and slipped her legs out of the sheets. She leaned forward and pulled on the strings twice. "Did you get enough rest?" She asked Vae.

"Yes, princess. I get nothing but enough rest here. It's almost like a vacation except with vampires that…" Vae paused as she realized what she was about to say. "It is nice here." She finished with a forced grin.
