Emily stood before Julia’s grave, the weight of the guilt still heavy on her heart, despite her efforts to view the situation from Raylen’s perspective. Her maid had died at a young age, without being able to experience life to the fullest.
’This is for me?’ Julia asked Emily when she was presented with a box containing a dress.
’Yes,’ Emily replied with a smile. ’You will be accompanying me during the gatherings, and I want to make sure you look as elegant as I do, Julia.’
Julia stared at the dress, and when her eyes lifted to meet Emily’s, Emily noticed tears welling up in them. Julia quickly offered a deep bow and thanked her, ’You are exceedingly good to me, Princess Emily. I hope to always be able to stay by your side and assist you.’

Raylen pushed himself to stand straight and addressed his coachman, "You can take the carriage back to the castle. The princess needs a little more time. Take the servants with you."
"Yes, Master," the coachman replied, and he promptly took his place in the driver’s seat, driving the vehicle away.
"How long have you known her?"
