When Ember returned to her chamber, she started playing with her pet bird, though she was somewhat still in a distracted state, her thoughts sometimes on the chained woman in her dream, at times on the scars on Morpheus' body, and from time to time, her hand subconsciously touching the changed crimson blossom on her neck as well.
After some time, her servants informed her that Yula had returned to the palace for some work reason, and would be leaving the palace again after she took care of the leftover work.
"Please ask her to see me before she leaves…if that is all right with her?"
"Of course, Miss. You are His Majesty's mate."
"Indeed, Miss. You don't have to hesitate when asking anything from us."
Ember was relieved that she would get to talk to Yula about one of the concerns she had in her mind. Other than Yula, she had no other choice as her two maidservants were still young and immature just like her.
