Mauve sat upright with a jolt, just as Maria let out a gasp. She turned to see the maid in the corner setting up the bath.
"I am so sorry Princess. I was trying to be quiet, I didn't want to wake you."
"Oh," Mauve said and rubbed her eyes. She didn't know why she had woken up suddenly but she was sure she had heard a loud sound.
"The bowl dropped a little too hard on the ground. I am so sorry."
"It's fine," she said and pulled her hand away from her face. With the way she felt it was obvious she had not gotten enough sleep.
She yawned, she was a bit hungry. It would soon be time for breakfast. She wondered if she would be eating in her room again.
Malcolm didn't say something about speaking to the king but she doubted it would be before breakfast. Not that she wanted to go out.
"Ugh," she muttered out loud as she remembered last night. Her head was still banging from the ordeal.
