Chapter 516

• I stayed in my room, waiting. I didn’t want to go out and risk bumping into some inconvenient male. With nothing to do, the day seemed to pass very slowly. As soon as night fell, I got ready to go to bed early. I didn’t feel comfortable in this place and was eager to leave and start my work journey.
• I closed my eyes, and just as I was about to fall asleep, a knock on the door made me jump out of bed. I remained alert, wondering who it could be. If it were Gisele, she would undoubtedly enter without knocking. Whoever it was, they continued knocking on the door, insisting, forcing me to go and investigate. I was relieved to see that it was just a maid.
• “I’m sorry to disturb you,” she said kindly. “Since you haven’t eaten anything all day, Your Majesty asked me to bring you a meal. If you don’t feel comfortable eating at the table with the family, just let me know, and I’ll bring regular meals to your room.”
