"Excuse me?" One of Ada's maids went over to a Gotic envoy who was eating. Looking up at her, he put on a flattering smile. "The Princess has asked us to get her some of her favourite food. We are going to look around for it a bit to find them. Is that okay?"
"Of course, we simply ask you to return before midnight. We will be leaving early and don't want any delay." The slight threatening tone in his voice was obvious to the maid, and she repeatedly nodded. Turning around, she went back up to her room, where Ada sat in a maid's dress.
"We have to leave now, Princess." Ada grabbed two clocks and handed them over before putting the other on. Pulling up the hood, it was hard to tell who she was.
"What about the others? They will interrogate them when they find out I'm gone." Ada worried about her other maids and was conflicted about whether running to her father was the right choice. The maid saw that and smiled sweetly.
