章節 120: Empty time

Anaisa listlessly rested as she waited for Sapphira's return. There was not much to keep her occupied. No one to talk with. She cleaned the chambers, but the lower maids had already done most of it. They usually slipped in and out as quietly as possible while the trio ate lunch, not sticking around. She had no embroidery or other handiworks to apply her efforts to.
