Meredith.
I walked back to my bedroom on the ground floor. Luckily, only a few early servants caught sight of me.
It’s not as if I was bothered about that.
Draven was my husband, at least in name. It might take some time for me to accept him fully as my mate.
I can’t easily let go of our beginning. He was mean. Even grandma confirmed it.
As soon as I walked into my bedroom, I went straight for my dressing room and picked something simple from my wardrobe to wear.
By the time Azul and the rest came in to wake me up and get me dressed, I was trying to do my hair.
They were shocked. All of them.
"My lady, you couldn’t sleep last night?" Azul asked as she adjusted the collar of my dress for me.
"I couldn’t," I replied, letting go off my hair as she took over. "That’s why I was up early, looking for what to do and decided to get ready before time."
Just then, Kira came over with the small makeup purse that just included a powder, mascara and light pink lipstick.
"Would you like a cup of camomile tea to help you sleep better tonight?" Azul asked, peering at my face while Kira got started with the makeup.
On the other hand, Deidra passed me a cup of hot flower tea I usually drank on some mornings, while Cora and Arya took the beddings away and changed the sheets.
"I’m good," I replied Azul.
Kira finished beating my face five minutes later and took a step back.
"I’m done, my lady," she announced.
"I want to see what the makeup looks like on my face. Can I get a mirror?" I asked, lifting my gaze to her.
Then, I saw something shift in her eyes as her face fell. My eyes narrowed.
"My lady, there is no hand mirror, and we haven’t replaced the one that broke in the dressing room," she explained, lowering her gaze. "I apologize."
A deep sigh escaped my lips.
Even Azul remained unmoving next to me. She was done with my hair and didn’t have anything else to do, but she couldn’t leave.
I had indirectly given off the idea that I was mad at them. And honestly, I wasn’t even sure I wasn’t.
Kira didn’t dare lift her gaze and Azul didn’t dare to speak a word. Also, the others didn’t come into my bedroom this time. It allowed me some time to think.
I contemplated within myself on whether to say this or not. In the end, I chose to reveal that I wasn’t blind.
Another deep breath escaped my lips as I cast my gaze on Kira.
"Lift your head," I said. She obeyed.
Then I turned to Azul and asked her to go get the others. "I want to speak to everybody. When I’m done, you can all go back to your work."
"Yes, my lady." Azul bowed deeply, turned and left.
I perceived the hint of nervousness she gave off, but I wasn’t bothered.
Probably, the injury was half-gone, and he noticed and wanted to comment on it, but Azul stopped him and covered it up with a cucumber seed.
