Chapter 37 Preparations

• The morning greets me with a restless haze, the weight of the night's troubled dreams still clinging to my thoughts. As sunlight filters through the curtains, I rub my eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep.
• A gentle knock at the door pulls me from my daze, and I call out for the person to enter. In steps Mercy's sister, her presence a welcoming distraction from the lingering unease of the night. With a kind smile, she offers to help me get ready for the day ahead. Grateful for the company, I nod in agreement, allowing her to guide me through the morning routine with gentle hands and comforting words.
• Dressed in a gown of soft blue, I make my way down the grand staircase, Mary's presence providing a comforting anchor amidst the whirlwind of activity. Servants dart past us, their footsteps echoing against the marble floors as they carry out their duties with precision.
