[From the Log of Violet Evergarden: #46]

[Here's a short update on what's happened earlier. We came to the castle and met the royals. I got the chance to meet the Prince and Princess. We had tea with them and Headmaid Reina. As far as descriptions go, I'd say the Prince is more childish than his younger sister, the Princess. As his lister, I'll be watching over his day-to-day duties from tomorrow until the three weeks expire. During the conversation, the Prince mentioned that he had combat training and needed improvement, saying his skills in that area "were not particularly list worthy". So, Eva offered to help him in this area as combat is her specialty. We didn't mention the you-know-what about Eva to them of course. The Prince became curious with Eva so, he accepted at Headmaid Reina's reluctance.

Soon, I'll also have to talk to Eva about my offer to CH Postal too. I wonder what Eva thinks about it. I guess I'll find out soon. She'd be very valuable to the Company (since she's good with books and she managed two stores at the same time). It would be great to have her. And from there, I can try to help her and watch over her.]

Violet stopped typing to think of her ending words. She stretched a little. Her feet of course, not her hands. She took her left white glove from her night stand and put it on her left hand. Now, that she had a glove covering her metal left hand, she rubbed her eyes gently. 

"Yaaaaaawwwnnnn."

Violet felt sleepy from all the writing. 

She bit the tip of her glove and pulled it off. And then, she proceeded to put it back where she found it. 

She took a look around her room. It was spacious enough for two beds. 

On the bed next to hers, Eva slept soundly with her book bag in her arms.

'Hehe...I guess she's not all that bad,' Violet thought quietly.

Violet finally typed her end words, put back her typewriter into her briefcase along with the Log, and dropped her head into the soft pillow.

Soon, she left the world around her and disappeared into the realm of deep sleep and dreams.

Just before she lost her consciousness to sleep, she thought about her ending words for her Log

[Tomorrow, my 3 week life in the castle will begin. END LOG 46.] 


Next day in  Castle Crestfallen, early morning, around 5:00 AM...

DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!

A loud penetrating bell sounded in the Royal Servants Hall.

"ALL MAIDS  UP!!!! GET UP!!!!" shouted a female voice which most likely belonged to the Headmaid.

RING!!!! RING!!!! RING!!!! RING!!!!

Another bell sounded on the other end of the hall.

"COM'ON ALL BUTLERS UP!!!! THAT'S AN ORDER!!!!" commanded an unfamiliar male voice.
