Because it was already late, the family decided to retire to bed. Arianna was exhausted, so she went straight to bed after finishing her evening bath and awoke the next day.
Arianna hadn't been to school in a while, so she awoke in the morning, completed her daily missions, and then washed herself and put on something warm.
Arianna smiled back at the servants as she made her way to the dining room, where breakfast had been served. Her siblings and parents were already seated at the table when she arrived.
"Good morning, everyone," Arianna said as she sat down.
"Did you get enough sleep?" Marylyn asked, concerned that her baby was not sleeping as well as the rest of them.
"Did you get a good night's sleep?"
Marylyn couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry. How can she be so carefree after everything that has happened?
