After an hour, Lena and Mildred came in and helped me get dressed not as the duchess of Grimsbanne, but as a member of the Divine Order. I was surprised at how prepared they were while Sam went out for some 'trivial' (his words) matters.
I glanced at Mildred, who was standing on the side, keeping herself silent while Lena tied my hair up. I didn't expect to see Mildred in here tonight, after what happened last night. Vampire genes were surely amazing, as they could recover from that overnight.
"Your highness, do you really have to join the Divine Order?" Lena inquired, pouting as she tied my hair. "I know the palace can be lonely, but it's much safer here."
The corner of my lips subtly hooked up. Lena's honesty was truly something else, but I felt sorry that I couldn't trust her completely as well. Although I didn't plan to harm her, as long as she didn't give me a reason, she'll be fine.
