Tania held Princess Arielle's hand, giving encouragement.
Arielle got up and bowed slightly in salute to the Priest. Unfortunately, Priest Elis was experiencing an inner conflict as he watched her leave. The princess then turned and walked slouchingly. She was no longer excited.
Priest Elis closed his eyes tightly. He hoped that the action he would take would not incur the anger of the King.
"Princess Arielle," called Priest Elis when Arielle just came out of his room.
Arielle turned languidly. "Yes, Priest?"
Priest Elis walked over. "In three days, one of the maids intends to resign, but I haven't had time to report it to King Ronan. If Your Highness doesn't mind, you can take the maid's position."
The girl's face immediately brightened. "Really, Priest? I-I don't need to ask the king's permission right?"
"No." Priest Elis shook his head slowly. "And I also hope that King Ronan won't find out about this."
