"It is my pleasure to meet you princess!"
Why was she so down on her luck? Renata cursed herself in her heart as she looked at the maid, who she had thought was gone too.
"I am assigned back to you since only one maid is not enough to serve you. I am glad that you look healthy and happy." a mocking laugh could be seen on the face of the maid when she said so.
"Why are you here?" asked Renata. She had thought that all her old staff was taken to the prison or dismissed from their jobs.
Then how was she here? What was her name?
The maid furrowed her brows at the foolish question. Didn't she just say that she was assigned back to her.
Hiding her irk the maid replied again,
"Princess, I think you have forgotten me. I am Tia. I am the only maid that has been forgiven since I have never joined their torment and tried to protect you always.
I was not with them when they were having their meal in the garden and talking ill about you.
