The Jewel in My Heart
Chapter 21

"Really - right! is everyone here like you?" Anna glared in annoyance, she suddenly felt isolated by a caste call.

"We're all here with great respect for the King's family, there's no way we've done what Miss Anna just asked for. Please understand our position."

"But I'm not the King's family!"

"If His Majesty Arthur asks me to serve you, then I must respect you as I respect His Majesty Arthur." Laura persisted with her opinion.

Anna sighed "It's up to you."

"Do you want to take a shower? I'll get the water ready."

Laura started moving into the large wardrobe and took out one female clothing stel.

"That dress is for me to wear?" Anna pointed at the clothes.

Laura smiled "Of course, we were ordered by His Majesty Arthur to prepare all your necessities before you arrive here, clothes for your daughter are also there."

Then Laura opened the door of her one closet and showed a row of clothes the size of Nina hanging neatly.

Both of Anna's eyebrows were raised in astonishment, Arthur was indeed amazing how could he possibly prepare everything in such a short time?

A few seconds later he smiled to himself, oh yes...didn't Arthur ever say that he has a lot of staff, people who can work well?

Anna threw a glance out the window. The sky was cloudy and unfriendly, as his air would get colder.

As good as she is now taking a shower.

"Alright, but I think I'm going to bathe Nina first" Anna said and hurriedly grabbed Nina who was lying on the sofa.

"Miss Anna, let me bathe little Lady."

"Let me do it, you can help me prepare the warm water."

"But Miss. if His Majesty Arthur knows... "

"He won't know unless you tell him!" cut Anna fast.

"Then Laura, I'll take care of Nina. And you won't tell anyone, including Arthur!"

"Alright, Miss Anna." Laura had to obey Anna's will.

The woman went to the bathroom to prepare for Nina's bath.

At nine o'clock in the morning the sun still seemed timidly emitting its rays. Anna felt strange, here the sun rises slower than Jakarta.

Because she was used to waking up early, Anna could only pacing bored in her room until working hours at the Royal Palace began.

In a cold place like this, Nina's sleeping hours grew longer.

For two days here Nina always sleep every night approaching nine in the morning until eleven in the afternoon, then she will sleep again at two in the afternoon until close to five in the afternoon.

Anna smiled, soon the season will change, which is why the air temperature gets colder and the wind blows harder.

The wrought-iron garden chair felt piercing through the skin when it touched Anna's arm that was only closed to the elbow.

Arthur looked out through the window of his study, a room located in the corner of the Royal Palace so that he could see the side yard as well as the back yard of the Royal Palace.

His sharp eyes caught the figure of Anna sitting alone by the lake.

Some are hidden by Anna, Arthur can clearly feel it, but asking her directly to Anna is also impossible.

Sometimes Anna looks so brave, but there are times when Arthur feels that Anna is afraid of him. No, Anna looks uncomfortable every time she gets close to a man.

When she gets hurt, Anna takes care of her, but when she gets too close to Anna, she starts to get scared.

And Arthur knows that Anna is trying to hide her fear, even though she did not study psychology, Arthur can recognize the signs of trauma in someone.

The problem was what Anna was afraid of, what had made her like that?
