"Princess," Vae called, breaking through Mauve's thoughts. Mauve blinked as she returned to reality. "What do you think?"
Mauve arched her head to the side as she checked her reflection. Vae had tied her hair into a braided bun with flowers all around the bun. "Beautiful, it looks so pretty Vae." She was still in a sour mood but this time it was directed at somebody else. "Thank you."
Vae's face brightened and she smiled, "You are too kind, princess. Is there anything else you would like me to do for you?"
Mauve shook her head, "That is all. I will call you up if I need anything." she smiled faintly at Vae.
The maid bowed before she walked toward the door and left the room. Mauve sighed as she watched Vae go then she turned and looked at her reflection again. She saw a young woman with a blank expression looking back at her.
