[Why's Linny acting weird? And when did she start to call me 'your highness'? Wasn't it always 'princess Aristia'?] Aristia wondered.
Despite thinking that, she responded to the greeting with a smile. "Good morning, everyone. Good morning, Linny."
Or it was better to say that she tried to. That was what she meant to do.
Instead, a sound came out of her mouth and her head gave a short nod.
"Mm."
Adeline and the other maids showed no other reaction, as if they were used to it, and neither did they say anything else.
Aristia was left stunned as the maids entered the bathroom.
But she was shocked beyond words when the maids started bathing her.
What happened to Adeline being the only one allowed to bath her?
"Your Highness, her Royal Highness has said that we should get you ready in time for the palace banquet. She has requested for your presence in the parlour after your preparation is complete." Adeline said monotonously without any expression.
