CHAPTER 36 (CONVERSATION)
A girl with curly bronze-colored hair sat down on her bed, sighing. She had just talked to her two brothers who definitely weren't listening to her at all.
"Princess, you mustn't fret. I'm sure he's fine", her maid, Marietta, comforted her as she set down a tray full of éclairs, chocolates, peppermints and muffins on the table beside her bed.
The girl took one piece of chocolate and began chewing it.
"Thank you Marietta. I don't know. I know he can take care of himself, but what if something happened to him? Plus my brothers have stopped the search to avoid further scandals. I'm sure they're looking for him, but it's taking such a long time. It's been months Marietta', she sighed.
The woman smiled at her. She was always fretting, so this behaviour was nothing new.
"He's old enough. Your brothers stopped because they think he'll come back when he can't take it anymore", Marietta assured her.
"Oh. I hope so. I couldn't sleep last night because I was so worried", the girl continued to fret.
"Well, if you are, why don't you search for him yourself?"
The girl gasped. "That's wonderful! Are you sure Marietta? Shouldn't you say something like 'Don't be reckless' or 'Don't go after him and end up doing something stupid'?"
Marietta laughed. "Heavens no. I'm no nagger my dear. And besides, I do miss the old chap."
The girl smiled. "Well then, I'll try getting him soon."
