The doppelganger knelt down on her knees, "What are my orders, my mistress."
Margaret wished she did not have to use her blood magic again for this. But there was no other choice. For the time being, this would have to do.
"Puppet, you are to become Crown Princess Laina of Kinshearth. You are ill, resting in bed, and refuse to see anyone apart from your handmaiden Margaret. Understood?" Margaret instructed.
"As you wish, my mistress," the doppelgänger replied.
Margaret snapped her fingers and the doppelgänger stood up immediately. She wore Laina's sleeping garments, laid in bed, and closed her eyes. In the distance, Margaret could hear the sound of footsteps approaching.
She cleared her throat and straightened her clothes. Moments later, there was a knock on the door. Margaret walked up casually and opened the door slightly.
"Who is it?" She whispered out into the hallway.
"Lady Margaret, it is I, Esther," The maid replied.
"What is it?"
