"Oh, Annalise dear. I was told it was your day off," Beatrice said, surprised to see the young lady here. "I hoped you weren't pulled away from your time to yourself to come to me."
"No, Lady Callahan. We are in need of more servants at the moment so I offered to work the rest of the evening," Annalise answered. She looked around at the mess Beatrice created in her room. She figured it was all for this party Beatrice was planning.
"Well, I will be sure to add something to what you are paid. You've been assigned as my maid so you deserve a little more. Now," Beatrice turned back to what she was doing. "Rafael's grand return party will be held tomorrow night. I've been working extra hard to put it together so soon. Invitations have been sent out to some friends of ours. I wish I had time to invite his friends out of town. This will be a party mostly for the knights to relax and enjoy their return."
