"Mer, please," Anna swiftly intervened, firmly grasping Meredith's hand to prevent further escalation. She understood Sarah's intentions and knew allowing the anger to consume her would only further the discord.

The noble lady displayed a dissatisfied expression, clearly frustrated by the interruption, but Anna shook her head with determination.

"Please, sit down. Let us continue our meal as ordered by the queen," she said calmly.

"But, my lady!" Meredith protested, her dissatisfaction evident, but Anna's firm gaze and resolute tone left no room for argument.

"Sit down, Meredith," Anna reiterated, her voice unwavering.

With a heavy sigh, Meredith reluctantly relented to the order. She begrudgingly took her seat, her frustration still lingering in her expression.
