Chapitre 111: I've Missed You Dearly

As soon as Laina heard Margaret's hurried footsteps coming down the hallway, she knew exactly what it meant. Victoria, who sat across from her, looked over to Laina. They both put down their teacups just as Margaret rushed into the room. 

As the handmaid attempted to catch her breath, Laina looked over to her, "He's here?" 

"Yes… yes, your Highness."

Laina nodded. She turned back over to Victoria, "I won't force you if you do not wish to be there. Either way, I promise you, I will put him in his place."

Victora bit her lip. There was a moment of hesitation in her eyes. Laina knew the events that happened the night before were terrifying for her. An assassination attempt is not something anyone can get over so easily. 

It was normal for one to fear for their own safety. Victoria clenched her fist close to her heart. She knew she had to be brave. If she wanted justice for herself and for the family she had lost, she had to be strong.
