"Thank you, my lady." She could hear Vita's voice. "And thank you for helping her highness when I was gone."
"No, just drop the lady. I'm a fellow maid now." She sneak a peek and saw Lady Ludke smiling at Vita.
Vita avoided her gaze and dropped it to the ground, "How could I do that to a noble."
Lad Ludke laughed sweetly, her voice ringing to the halls like a melody, "Well, I'm not anymore."
She's saying it casually and Asteria can't help but think about her.
Lady Ludke lived her whole life as a noble and now that their nobility is dropped and her father disappears somewhere, she has only her mother now. Plus, she has to be a maid, which she is doing willingly.
Just then, Asteria saw Prince Ares peeking across her and hiding at a wall like her. The way Ares was silently staring at Vita made Asteria smirk, "You really love my maid, don't you?"
