Sylvia's POV:
All Maya's changes were very subtle. If Rufus hadn't checked Ethan's diet records today, we might not have found anything wrong with her. She was a sensible, gentle person. She would occasionally become extroverted whenever she was with me in private, and she rarely had any conflict with other people. Not to mention, she was responsible, especially when it came to her job. It would be impossible for her to tell the chef make something cold for the lycan king if she knew he wasn't feeling well.
And even if the chef did listen to her advice, he wouldn't just serve the king a bowl of shaved ice without the doctor's consent because it clearly wouldn't be good for the king's health.
I began recalling the time I spent with Maya. Maybe I was overthinking, but now that I looked back, I noticed a lot of strange things about her.
"Can a person's habits change in a short time?" I asked in confusion as I turned to Rufus.
Rufus thoughtfully rubbed his chin. "I don't think that's possible. Not unless they've been through something huge or traumatic that could affect their entire personality."
"Maya used to hate the smell of jasmine flowers, but when I walked past her room the last time, I saw jasmine flowers on her table. She never eats pork either, but one time, I saw she cooked a large pot of pork and shared it with the guards," I replied, slowly becoming even more confused by Maya's recent actions. "She doesn't have a family or a lover, so she has been staying in the palace this entire time. And her life here was perfectly peaceful. I don't think she would go through anything huge or traumatic like you said, that led to the change of her personality."
