As it approached noon, two maids quietly tiptoed into the bedroom, afraid she might be hungry.
The curtains in the bedroom were tightly closed, blocking out sunlight, making it completely pitch black inside.
Cidy turned on a small lamp, allowing the room to be dimly lit, enough to make out the surroundings.
The two walked to the bedside, saw that Fiona Schmidt was still asleep, hesitated for a moment, but still followed orders not to disturb her, standing by the bed waiting.
With the dim lighting, their eyes couldn't see clearly when they first entered; only after standing for a while did their eyes adjust enough to notice the marks on Fiona Schmidt's hand and neck exposed outside the blanket, strikingly visible against her snow-white skin, impossible to ignore.
Both maids were unmarried and, having worked in the palace for years, never had boyfriends; such suggestive marks made them blush, knowing what had occurred.
