In the end, Aries didn't get to visit Curtis, even though his room was nearby. She stayed in her room in silence. Cherry couldn't walk on her own, so she had to ask the knights to escort her out.
"My lady," called Gertrude as she was wiping Aries's fingertips while the latter was dipped inside the tub. "Are you alright?"
Aries snapped her eyes as she had been silent ever since Cherry was escorted out. Her eyes fell on Gertrude and caught the worry in her eyes.
"Of course." She smiled weakly at Gertrude, leaning back against the tub and letting her personal maid clean her hands. "I'm simply curious what she would do."
Aries cocked her head to the side and set her eyes back on Gertrude. "Have I ever told you about her, Gertrude?"
"Just a little, my lady."
