Chapter 97: My Wish To You
¤●¤
"Sylvia, my child... please you have to eat something," Mother said, sounding very worried, but I remained on my bed, the covers against me. I have been like that for two days, ever since Mint went out to find Olivia, he has yet to return.
"Sylvia," she said, placing her hand on my shoulder but I remained still.
"Lady Sylvia, Mrs. Hartford is right, you will fall sick at this point" Alice’s worried voice came in too, I didn’t realize she was there too.
Mother sighed. "The maids of the household are planning to set up a burial for Olivia, they will rest her tombstone at the back of the castle, I will have a spot made there just for her"
"She’s not dead," I said in defiance, gripping onto my pillow. "She’s not dead" I add faintly.
"Mrs. Hartford let us drop the meals here for her, I think it’s best to give her some alone time to recover, this Olivia must have meant a great deal to her," Alice said.
"You’re right," Mother said as I felt her weight leave the bed. "I will come to check on you Sylvia, please eat something" those were Mother’s words as she and Princess Alice left my Chambers. I heard the doors shut close and I felt my heart heavy again.
"My lady" at the sound of Olivia’s voice I sat up with a start, looking around in a daze, my eyes saddened knowing that it was all in my head.
