There was a knock on Adriana's door. "Princess!" Bella, Adriana's maid called her.
Adriana heard the call but didn't want to answer. She was still sad and didn't want to do anything now. Inside her head were many questions. Like: why did all this happen? Or should she never have tried to find Cyril?
If Cyril was still a mercenary, the young man would still be alive today.
"This is my fault!" she whispered.
The knock on the door got louder now. This time Adriana couldn't ignore it. She wiped the tears and stood up. She didn't care about his current appearance. Inside her mind was simply, "eliminating distractions".
"Princess--finally you--."
"Leave me alone, Bella! I don't want to be disturbed!"
Bella fell silent. Adriana could see her maid was stealing her heart. "No! You have to stop shutting yourself in now. I don't know what happened to you. But, you can't be like this!"
