Alora cleared her throat to gain the princess's attention but got no response in return.
She decided to patiently wait for a little longer yet the princess didn't turn toward her.
"Your highness, your tea," she finally spoke up after a long time.
She knew that the princess was aware of her presence inside the room yet she plainly ignored her.
Princess Ereza finally looked at her.
"You have more patience and strength than I thought," she said eyeing the trembling tray in Alora's hands.
"I have patience as big as the sea but maybe I lack in the strength department," Alora said eyeing the tray.
"I am strong and can easily stand there with five trays in my hands. I am sure that they won't fall down but I lack in the patience department," Princess Ereza said in a self-mockery tone.
"I thought that I would be able to be more patient and sensible with time. Maybe I would learn how to ignore the past but-" she looked at the sky.
