Winter usually starts around the month of October here in Gilead, that is according to my friends Ariella and Maggie. But as I noticed, the moment I woke up at the start of the month of September, it was already freezing cold here in the prince's chamber.
"Good morning Krisella."
Lancelot was the one who first greeted me as soon as I was able to show up at the dining table just in time for breakfast-- in the prince's clothes as usual. Meals were served by a few selected handmaidens on top of the table and immediately exited themselves once they were done serving us.
"Good morning Lancelot, Alex, and Lucas." I greeted each of my three mentors once I was already settled in my seat.
I almost slipped my tongue when I was about to call them my mentors, but surely it would create confusion for the servants to hear their prince calling his confidants his mentors, right?
