Tyra was the first to wake up the next morning, and she roused both Alicia and Susan from sleep so that they could return to their chambers before everyone started moving around. She had no idea how the king or queen would react if they were to find out that they had all spent the night together.
"It is morning already?" Alicia asked as she stretched out on the bed.
"Yes. You should be in your chamber before Princess Luciana gets there. We don't want her to know you spent the night in my chamber," Tyra explained.
"Why?"
"Why what?" Tyra asked in confusion.
"Why shouldn't she know? Why don't you like her?" Alicia asked curiously.
"I do not hate her," Tyra said defensively.
"But you do not like her either," Susan, who had finally woken up, pointed out as she sat up.
"She reports everything to her husband, and he reports to our mother. It is hard to be friends with someone who does that. You don't do that, do you?" Tyra asked Alicia.
