Chương 16: What News (Ch.16)
Neveah awoken the next morning to loud knocking on her door, she groaned in annoyance as she pulled her pillow over her ears and turned over on her bed, facing her back to the door.
The knocking continued, growing louder and more persistent the longer Neveah ignored it and it was also accompanied by a voice.
"Princess! Princess!" The voice kept on calling and Neveah growled beneath her breath as she sat up on her bed, cursing her pathetic fate.
"Can't I get even a moment of peace?!" Neveah huffed in annoyance as she got off her bed and headed to the door, unlatching the lock and fixing the young she wolf at the other side a blank stare.
Neveah found herself even more irritated when the lips of the young she wolf stretched into an overly bright smile and Neveah wondered what exactly could make anyone so excited in the morning hours.
"Who the hell are you?" Neveah asked in a blank tone.
"Morning greetings princess, I am Laila, to fill in for your Governess till she is restored to health. I will take care of all your domestic affairs and otherwise from henceforth." The young she wolf announced with a bow.
Neveah sighed, she should have known her step mother would never let her go unmonitored for even a single moment.
Fate had just taken away the infuriating Governess and here came another to watch her every move and report back to their queen.
"Whatever." Neveah murmured as she moved away from the door and headed back to her bed, laying down and pulling the covers over her head.
"I apologise for waking you up so early, Your Grace. I did hear the Princess is usually cranky in the morning, I was just eager to get started and hurried over here as soon as I was assigned, I hope you can forgive my oversight." Laila apologized.
Neveah sighed as she turned away from her new attendant who seemed rather chatty for a spy.
"Oh right! Did your grace hear of the events that happened in the Eclipse Palace last night?! The news is everywhere!" Laila exclaimed as she went around, tidying up Neveah's room dutifully.
Neveah perked up at this, frowning slightly as she watched Laila actually put her things in order, which was surprising as Neveah's Governess never actually did anything other than yell at Neveah.
Neveah was always the one to take care of the cleaning and laundry and all other things related to herself, although Neveah did not awfully mind it.
It gave her something to do when she was not being paraded around like a commodity by her father.
"What news?" Neveah asked as she pulled her pillow off from over her head and sat up, wincing slightly at the searing pain that shot through her side.
"Your Grace doesn't know?! The Dragon King was here!" Laila exclaimed, excited to have Neveah's interest.
Neveah's eyes widened in horror as she slumped back on her bed.
'Dragon King?! What Dragon King?! The actual supreme lord of the supernatural realm?! That Dragon King?!' Neveah thought in panic.
