To avoid Ianthe's terrible end, I have to stay clear of becoming Princess Cordelia's maid. If I don't stay by her side, I will not be affected. That's the most straight forward and logical solution.
But no matter how I look at and analyze the situation now, my chance of becoming her maid is slim. Princess Cordelia seldom visits Lord Valentine's tower. Even if she does, she never pays attention to me. Her focus is entirely on Lord Valentine. I bet she doesn't even know my name.
I really envy those heroine in novels. How can they fit in immediately without an ounce of home sickness? I look up at my 'sky', endless body of deep blue water. Occasionally aquatic animals swim above me, I can't even see the moon. People said no matter how far apart you were with your family, you were still under the same sky, looking up at the same moon. You will be connected through the moon. But I don't even have a moon to remember my family by.
