Prince Sébastien felt curious, so he turned to face the maiden that just called out to him. Eva took a deep breath when she felt the prince's gaze on her.
She was still very sacred so she continued to look at the ground as she tried to gather up all her courage. This might be the only chance she gets to set herself free from the hell she has been living.
The woman Eva called mother earlier was not her biological mother. That woman is a sister to Eva's mother. Eva's mother was fortunate to have become a mistress for a rich man. As a mistress, Eva's mother gave birth to Eva. This made Eva the daughter of a noble but since her mother's position was just that of a mistress she could not be considered a noble lady.
Eva's father also did not pay attention to her. Especially when her mother became sick when Eva was just eight.
