บท 79: Embers and Ash (Ch.79)

Neveah arrived in her quarters to find Laila, her attendant already seated and awaiting her arrival.

"Princess! You're back!" Laila exclaimed and Neveah frowned slightly at her excited words, she herself would rather be anywhere but in the Eclipse Palace but here was someone who was elated to see her back to this place.

"Why are you here?" Neveah asked with a raised brow as she stepped into her room fully and closed the door behind her.

"His Lordship ordered me to wait here and prepare you to head to the dining hall as soon as you arrive." Laila relayed as she got up and walked over to take Neveah's coat.

Neveah hummed as she headed into her washroom, knowing there would already be water prepared for her bath since her father wanted her to join him for dinner.

Although Neveah was not certain a bath would do much for her digestion, after half a year, her stomach churned at the mere thought of eating at the same table with her father.
