The following morning, Marianne wakes to the sound of bustling maids outside her door. He sits up and rubs the sleep from her eyes, wondering what all the commotion is about.
"Young master," a voice calls from outside the door. "It's time to get up and start your day."
Marianne grumbles something unintelligible in response, but eventually manages to drag herself out of bed and open the door. It's her first day in their new home, she should was up early, right?
A cheerful-looking maid greets her, carrying a steaming pitcher of water and a washbasin and enters the bathroom while Marianne follows her.
"Good morning, young master," she says, setting down the pitcher and basin. The maid begins to fill the basin with water, adding a few drops of scented oil. "Your father has asked that you be prepared for visitors this morning," she says, pouring some water into a bowl and handing it to Marianne. "He wishes for you to be at your best."
