Sorayah made her way to her room immediately, eager to check on Lily. However, the moment she pushed open the door, she was met with an unfamiliar sight, a maid dressed in deep purple standing in the middle of the room instead.
Her brows furrowed in confusion. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice sharp with suspicion.
The maid smiled warmly, as if she had been expecting the question. But Sorayah barely noticed. Her gaze had already shifted toward the bed behind the maid, the bed where Lily usually slept. But this time, it was empty. A sense of unease clawed at her chest, and her pulse quickened.
"Where is Lily?" she demanded, her heart pounding.
The maid let out a soft chuckle. "I knew that would be your next question." She clasped her hands together in front of her. "You're asking about your sister, right? Don't worry. Her Ladyship Mira sent her on an errand."
