[Flashback continued.]
Atlan was in love with the Fourth Princess.
Miah was the first to realize it. She was the maidservant that always accompanied the Princess. Whereas most of the handmaidens were giggling and gossiping about how handsome Atlan was, Miah was observing him differently.
Miah always knew there was something strange about that man. He stuck to the Fourth Princess' side like her very own shadow.
When Atlan was greatly awarded for the expedition's success, he attributed it to the Princess. When he had spare time, it was always dedicated to the Princess. Anything and everything that concerned the Princess, Atlan was there to offer her aid.
"Oh, dear…" Miah trailed off, frowning to herself. "What to do?"
Miah knew about this small crush. She paid no mind to it. Miah had grown up in the palace amongst all the other maidservants. She knew of the hierarchy and how strictly enforced it was.
