Chapter 273: Second Lifetime, Freya. (19)
Princess bedroom Chambers.
Seconoria.
***********
Freya sat in her chambers, her heart heavy with worry for Theodore. She had to see him, to check on him, but knew she couldn’t go as the princess. Her maid and friend, Hannah, stood by her side, her expression determined.
"We shall need to disguise you," Hannah said, her voice resolute. "You will have to look like a maid."
Freya nodded, grateful for Hannah’s help. "Thank you, Hannah. I do not know what I would do without you."
Hannah smiled warmly. "We will get you there, do not worry."
Hannah rummaged through a chest and pulled out a simple, worn dress, the kind that the castle maids wore. It was a far cry from Freya’s usual attire, but it would serve its purpose. She handed it to Freya, who quickly changed out of her royal gown and into the plain dress. Hannah helped her tuck her long hair under a modest bonnet, and smudged a bit of soot on her cheeks to dull her natural glow.
"There," Hannah said, stepping back to admire her handiwork. "You look just like one of the maids. No one will suspect a thing."
Freya gave her a small, appreciative smile. "Thank you, Hannah. I will be back soon."
The guards had been warded off by Connor.
