As usual, Swan was sitting on her chair, staring out the window while eating her lunch very slowly. It was the fourth day of her punishment, and she still thought that Gale hadn’t visited their marital bedroom ever since.
However, for some reason, she always felt so comfortable at night, as if Gale was still hugging her tightly and burying her face in his warm chest. However, when she asked the cat maids whether the Beast King came to check on her, the cat maids would always deny it.
So she spent the days wishing that things could change somehow.
The cat maids were very worried about the Princess who kept eating slowly and barely had any appetite. But they had good news today, so they hoped it would help lift her mood a bit.
"Princess, His Majesty accepted a new maid yesterday," Maya mentioned.
"Is that so? Then, make sure to give her proper bedding in the maid quarter, and give her a job that is easier than most, since she is just getting started. She needs to get used to the activities in the castle first," Swan replied, but her eyes were still staring at the window. "What kind of beastman species is she?"
"Uhm... Princess, she is a human."
"A human?!" Swan turned her head instantly. She stared at the cat maids with a bewildered look. "My husband is accepting a human maid into the castle?!"
"Y-yes, Princess! We’ve been wanting to introduce her to you, so you can judge her yourself," Myra replied. "She is currently working to clean up the guest room since it’s the easiest duty we have."
"Am I allowed to check her? My husband told me I’m not allowed to see anyone." Swan hesitated.
"His Majesty told the guard that you are the one who is in charge of the servants. So this is an exception, Princess."
"Alright, then let her in."
The cat maids scurried out of the room to find the new female human maid.
The door was knocked from the outside after a while, followed by the cat maid’s voice, "Princess, we’ve returned with the new maid."
"Come in."
The cat maids opened the door, and they entered the room first. Behind them was a female human who stunned Swan when she made her entrance.
This new maid had a petite figure like Swan, but her legs were fully functioning. She had long red hair that looked lovely, paired with her small face and her doe eyes.
She had a few freckles on her cheek and nose, making her even cuter and adorable.
She didn’t look like Aria, because Aria was always confident, but this woman looked shy and meek... which reminded Swan of herself.
The cat maids gently pushed Meredith’s back to make her take a step toward the Queen, and Meredith bashfully approached Queen Swan.
