บท 483: You are right

"My lady, I brought you water so you can wash --"

"No!" Aries raised her hand to stop the maid in panic, making the little servant freeze whilst holding the ceramic basin and ewer. 

"My lady?" called the servant with genuine wonder in her voice.

"I mean..." Aries cleared her throat, turning to the bedside table on the other side of the bed opposite where Abel was. Her eyes lit up, pointing a finger at it. "Put it there."

"But my lady --"

"Now! Just placed it there." Aries bit her tongue when she raised her voice, reminding herself she wasn't in the Maganti Empire anymore. "I mean... I don't really feel good and I would like to rest more."

Worry resurfaced in the maid's eyes as she nodded slightly. She said nothing further, following Aries's instructions, and placed the ewer and basin on the bedside table. When she straightened her back and faced Aries once again, the servant pursed her lips.
