Mrs. Adler would not dare to be presumptuous and ask too many questions to a princess. So, she just kept her mouth shut and let Emmelyn rest, while she took care of the thug.
Luckily, she was trained in herbomancy and medication, so she could be of use for Emmelyn. She worked for a few hours to prepare medicine, and then treat the man's wounds.

Emmelyn slept restlessly all night. She had a nightmare while she was sleeping. In her dream, she was being chased by a group of soldiers and the palace behind her was burned to the ground. It was a scary sight.
"Aaahh!!" She instantly sat up in bed with cold sweat. Her hands dampen and her face paled.
Emmelyn felt so distraught by what she saw in her dreams. Surely she had been thinking too much about her being bad luck and the prophecy, that it even crept into her dreams.
Ugh!
"Good morning, Your Highness." Mrs. Adler spoke gently beside her. "You are fine now. You can wake up."
