The next day, Arianna returned to her studies. The thought of the king leaving still made her feel down, no matter how hard she tried to act fine.
The days when she would badly miss him were drawing near. On the other hand, she couldn't wait to visit her pack as well.
She would use this opportunity to fix some things there.
Selene, who sat before her, was awfully quiet, stitching some clothes. Something felt off about the head maid.
Clearing her throat, Arianna broke the silence between them. “It seems my teacher is feeling down today.”
Selene looked up and blinked. Her gaze was tired, with a small sigh and dark circles under her eyes. She forced out a soft laugh.
“I am fine, my lady.”
“Are you not feeling well? Do you wish to see a healer?” Arianna asked, not ready to back down.
