After thanking her for her efforts, I finally got up from the bed, still half-asleep. As soon as I got up, Anne, my personal maid, immediately started doing my hair and getting me ready for the day. With a mighty yawn, I stretched, rubbing my half-closed eyes absent-mindedly. The curtains had been drawn back, and the sun’s rays were streaming in. I could hear a voice that was getting increasingly strict. If you continue to dally, you will be late for your lessons! That’s quite enough! Please wake up this instant, young miss. The look on my face right now would most likely be described as grave. Upon hearing the woman’s needlessly dramatic voice, I felt my expression stiffen. there is a certain wish I would like fulfilled. The woman merely smiled, the corners of her carmine-red lips curling up.
! Surprise and bewilderment those were the emotions I felt as I stared at the woman. as if we were complete strangers, the woman said, pulling her hood down. Well, you really shouldn’t say that, you know? Asking who I am. The woman responded in an almost theatrical way as she slowly closed the distance between us. And who might you be? I asked, alarmed, in a low voice. It’s been a while, the person before me said. In fact, they were now staring at me in a most suspicious manner. this person was standing there intentionally. In fact, I could see a bit of a dress underneath that cape.Ī woman, perhaps? Who could this be? It was strange that they would just appear right there and then, so coincidentally, as if to bump into me. A deep hood and cloak covered their being, but the individual did not look very bulky.
If I had to guess, they most likely stepped out from one of the countless alleyways and side roads that branched off this one. I started walking even faster, making my way through the streets under the now-orange sky. However, the shops were messier than I thought, and the whole endeavor took longer than expected. But she had been through a lot lately, and I thought that this would make her happy. Under normal circumstances, I would have never set out suddenly to do anything like what I was doing now.
As I thought about the person who would be most pleased by these candies upon my return, a smile naturally formed on my face. It had been a while since we’d had anything like this, so I knew she would be happy. I adjusted my grip on the bag that held a variety of sweets, the kind that were only sold to commoners in the downtown districts. Delicious smells wafted from the commoners’ homes that I walked by. It was now sparse, quiet - it was, after all, time for dinner. I hurried through the street that had just been bustling with activity only a while ago. Surely they would be worried about me if I took too long. Noticing that it was now somewhat later in the afternoon, I hastened my footsteps.
