章節 39: Cravings

Eve~

"Agnes," I called as she washed my hair. "Is there anything I can use for... cramps?"

She paused. "Of course, ma'am," she replied.

I let out a breath of relief.

She handed me a bottle of pills and a glass of water.

"Take two," she supplied. "And get some rest."

"Please, is it certain that it will work?" I asked. It had to work, or the smell alone would cause big trouble.

"This is what I use, and it always works," she assured me.

She turned on her heel and left.

I did as she had asked and fought the urge to get out of bed and lay linens on the ground to sleep again. But I had to remember to act like Ellen, a royal who had never known hardship in all her 23 years of life, and not like a girl who had grown accustomed to sleeping on the ground.
