[SAPPHIRE PALACE]
"Thank you, Inez." Aries smiled as she gazed at the basket of lavender on her lap, sitting on the bed, back against the headboard. "How did you know these are my favorites?"
Inez was perching on the armchair beside the bed, smiling in relief as the crown princess seemed to have liked the flowers she brought. Just now, she passed by the tons of flowers sent by nobles to wish the crown princess a speedy recovery. However, they were all outside, stressing the servant about where they would put all those flowers.
"Wild guess." Inez shrugged.
Aries laughed. "Seriously?"
"I'm jesting. It's the perfume you always wear, Your Royal Highness. I thought this flower might have some special meaning for you."
"Daniella," Aries corrected with a sharp exhale. "It's just the two of us, so there's no need to use honorifics. It just feels distant and thank you, I absolutely love these flowers."
