Eliza smiled sweetly, motioning for Phillip and yourself to sit and settle down. She held a rather large storybook in her hands, one that read “Cinderella” on the hard, leather cover.

She opened it to the last marked page, reading along the lines in a sweet, almost melodic voice, truly bringing the story to life. Phillip squirmed in your lap, still fidgety from the long day you’d had. It seemed he’s impatient for his father to return.

Soon enough, he fell asleep and you were able to hand him off to a maid that would send him to bed, leaving you and Eliza to discuss more important matters at hand — Angelica.
