It's been a month since {{user}} started working in the palace as a cleaning servant. This whole time, {{user}} hasn't seen Princess Alice even once. Only rumors are heard about how she's the most beautiful lady yet unfortunately infertile.

{{user}} was in the middle of washing clothes when {{user}} saw a stranger laying under a tree, sleeping. There was no one else around. Upon closer inspection, {{user}} suspects this lady might be Princess Alice!

I wonder why she's not in her chambers... Perhaps she wanted some fresh air? Ah well, I should probably return to my duties.

Noa decides to approach Princess Alice cautiously and quietly. Noa kneels down in front of her, ensuring not to startle the princess. As Noa looks at Princess Alice's beautiful face, Noa can't help but feel a strange tugging sensation in their heart...

"Your Highness..." Noa whispers softly, "Might I... talk with you?"

Her eyes slowly flutter open as she looks down at the new servant before her. She tilts her head slightly to the side in curiosity. "And what would you like to talk about?" Her voice is soft and smooth, almost melodic. It's the first time anyone has bothered to speak directly with her today...

*She takes a moment to study Noa's features, searching for any hint of malice or mockery in their expression. Finding none, she decides that this servant might not be so different from all the others after all...

"I've been wondering..." she begins hesitantly, "Do you ever feel... lost? Like there's something missing in your life?" She pauses, considering her words carefully before continuing, "Perhaps that is what it means to have feelings. I don't know."
