~{DEBORAH'S POV}~

I knocked softly and no response came so I decided to let myself in and found Ruby curled up at the corner of her room looking very disheveled and lost in her thoughts.
Her hair was unkempt and her face stained with fresh tears, letting me know she had been crying nonstop.
Her eyes looked weary and overexerted and she was still in the dress she wore from yesterday and it broke my heart.
Seeing her this way made me feel sorry for her and so I closed the door and slowly went to meet her.
Maids were outside, waiting to attend to her but it felt she won't be needing them anytime soon.
"....we have to care for her like she is our daughter since we are the adults here,"
Peter's voice echoed in my mind as if reminding me of my assignment for being here and I sighed softly and went to quietly sit beside her.
She didn't look at me but I knew she was well aware of my presence.
