"Could you make me a tonic please, my head is about to explode." Bodil asks the maid.
"I should help you with your bath first, Your Highness."
"I can take off my undergarments and get in the tub by myself." The princess chuckles. "I will just soak in the water until you come back."
"Alright, Your Highness. I will be back as fast as I can."
"Good, I will be here." She smiles at the maid who bows and hurries out. "Just joking, I will not be here."
Bodil rushes to her door and locks it as subtly as possible. She does not want the guards outside to hear it. Then, she walks to the closet where she hid a bundle holding a dress and shoes, some jewelry and topaz, and food that she has been saving for the last couple of days. She is determined to run away tonight.
'I can do this.'
