Time flew by, and before anyone realized it, a month had already passed.
During that time, Arshley lived comfortably and leisurely in the inner palace—thanks in no small part to the presence of the little girls who were always by her side.
At first, their relationship had been warm but not yet deeply bonded.
But after a full month together, their connection had grown remarkably strong—so much so that it even surpassed their closeness with their biological mother, Liliana.
Well, it wasn't hard to understand why. Arshley was always with them—playing games, teaching, telling stories, and even helping Stella learn to weave and knit clothes.
Naturally, their affection for her deepened. To them, she had become a true mother in every sense.
More importantly, Arshley was never stingy with her time or affection. Every week, she took them on outings to the capital—just to play, shop, and enjoy their time together.
It made the girls feel happy, loved, and genuinely cared for.
