Xuandou immediately summoned the maids.
Then, supported by two maids, Yugito Nii left the bedroom on unsteady feet.
A lingering flush still colored her face.
The maids kept their heads lowered, not daring to look too closely as they carefully helped her out of the bedroom.

She leaned forward slightly, her hands folded
