She snuck a glance on the princess and saw her eyes narrowed
Flushed, the servant bowed and attempted to leave
But the princess took her wrist and noticed when she winced
The royal gently took her closer; she opened a drawer and took out a sleeve
Inside, medical herbs and paste, those of which she put on the wound after the servant girl rinsed
