Chapter 119: Let me heal your wounds
"Are you packing for the trip, princess?" Miss Zoya asked as she walked inside the room and saw Elliana sitting on the ground with a suitcase open in front of her and looking at it thoughtfully.
"I don’t know how to do it," Elliana said, and Miss Zoya sighed at the girl’s helpless expression.
"Should I help you with that?" Miss Zoya asked, and Elliana hummed.
Miss Zoya looked at the things she placed in the suitcase so far and narrowed her eyes. The clothes that she placed so far were just -
"Princess, you are going to the islands. Why are you packing these full-length clothes? Shouldn’t you be packing some shorts or skirts?" Miss Zoya asked.
"I don’t want to show anyone my wounds," Elliana’s answer was curt, but for some reason, it held such a deep meaning that Miss Zoya paused and looked at the girl.
Rather than taking out clothes from the wardrobe, she sat with the princess
"What are you worried about?" Miss Zoya felt the anxiousness in the princess’s voice earlier.
Elliana looked at her fingers as she played with her dress and sighed.
"I don’t know. It’s not been so long since I met my friends. I want to go and enjoy, but what if I am the only human there? If they’ll have more friends, then I might end up becoming awkward and feeling alone. And these wounds, they make me look ugly," Elliana muttered.
"You won’t be ugly there. Tian would be there with you, no? You know him," Miss Zoya said, and Elliana sighed.
