We return to our lives and forget what happened. We met Aron in random places, but he didn't seem interested, which brought back our vitality.
We carried tea and some cakes for a stroll in the afternoon of a spring day. The breeze of the wind touched the edges of our faces and danced with strands of our feelings as we made our way to the park. The sunlight gave us a warm feeling, like an embrace.
Laverna Whispered worries approached me after Tait took a few steps ahead, saying, "I meet the Crown Prince more these days than I have throughout my time here." But I reassured her with a smile about these unrealistic thoughts, saying, "Perhaps it's because you're starting to venture out of your palace for the first time?" Laverna looked ahead and moved her lips to express agreement.

Night fell, and Tait placed some alcohol in front of us, which she had hidden under her basket from the servants. We both looked at Tait in astonishment; it was not something expected from the always-frightened Tait. She smiled proudly and said about herself, "Tait can also defy the laws." Alcohol was not prohibited, but it was already forbidden for us by Agapi, who was my senior servant.
Agapi was a highly respected and devout woman in her early fifties. Despite her advanced age, there was no one more active and disciplined than her. Agapi slept and woke up at precise times, making you think she would die if she were even a minute late. We all leaned towards her despite her constant disapproval of our childish behavior, but she treated us smoothly and fairly, as if we were her own children.
Agapi loved Achil in particular, and I felt that some of her love for me was from his love. But despite the fact that Achil hadn't visited me since his marriage, Agapi never doubted that and continued to treat me as one of her dearest. Agapi was concerned not only about me but also about Laverna. She was always there to guide us and then scold Tait, who never stopped her mischievous mistress, especially when we were unconscious due to alcohol. However, Agapi was unaware that Tait was even more mischievous than us.
