I sit up, feeling more like myself as I wipe the sleep from my eyes.
It's very early in the morning, the sun just beginning to rise. I can hear people walking up and down the hallways, cleaning and chatting amongst themselves.
I get out of the bed, taking careful steps, and wash up, braiding my hair as I get dressed. My maids are waiting out in my room, surprised to see me up and about.
"You should rest well, my lady." one of them says, and I shake my head,
"I've done wasted two days bed ridden. There are things to be done before my husband's arrival. Hurry, let's get a quick breakfast, and have the designers meet me in the lounge area." I replied, moving forward as I walk onward.
Once breakfast is out of the way, I meet with the merchants, trying to keep it as short as possible, the ideas piling up. Leopold can only join so many meetings though, having his own duties as the head of the butlers.
