Seren's body remained unmoving as she submerged everything aside from her head in the hot water, wishing she could hide in the bathtub forever and never come out again. She couldn't get out of the embarrassment she was feeling after remembering the previous night's incident. She was too engrossed in her thought, she did not even realize the hot water had turned cold.
Outside the side chamber, Marie and Eva stood in worry. Even after so much time had passed by, their queen didn't call for her servants.
"Her Majesty is taking too much time. I know she ordered for us to leave but..." Eva paced as she stared at the door. Despite her worry, she dared not enter the bath and disturb their queen.
"I will check," Marie assured the younger Eva.
"What if you are punished?"
