A knock.
Finally out of the bathroom and dressed in her plain, silk, A shape, gold dress with blue designed lace, tapped around the neckline, Belladonna swung the door open, expecting Raquel as usual but instead there were guards at the door, with different boxes in their hands, stacked on top one another, tall enough to cover some of their faces.
As if the helmets they had to wear weren't already enough trouble for them to begin with.
What was going on?
"My Lady. You are up already. Good."Raquel flashed her a smile.
"What is going on?"
"Gifts from the people, from last night. Please, can we come in?"
"Of course," she stood aside so that they could come in and the guards rushed in, putting the gifts at one side of the room, till they finally put down the last box, then finally left.
"This is all so much." Belladonna said with a gasp.
She had never received so much gifts in her life, it made her temporarily forget her sadness on her earlier wasted efforts.
