38 The diary

Alicia's conversation with Paulina kept replaying in her head as she walked down the hall to join the others for dinner. She hadn't realized how much time they had spent talking until a maid came to ask her to get ready for dinner. 

After hearing all that Paulina had said, she was certain now that there was more to Princess Amber than met the eyes. There had to be something.

According to Paulina, Princess Amber always kept to herself and never talked back or reacted whenever Madam Grace was rude to them, not even when Madam Grace hit her. Neither had she ever stood up for Paulina when the woman had decided to vent her rage on the poor maid. She always just stood there, staring at the woman with a stony face.
