Bab 133: Respect (1)

"Speak," Tabitha ordered the maid she had instructed to follow Helena.

"The two went off to speak on the balcony and closed the door so nothing was heard, but the maids spoke of the two seemingly arguing and crying. Helena stormed out and went right to her carriage while Hazel stood out on the balcony crying. She is now back to her lessons."

"Good job. Instruct the maids to come to me should the girl look to be in distress. We cannot tell what she would do next in her current state. See to it that the tutor reports whatever she did wrong during the lessons," said Tabitha.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It was evident to Tabitha that Hazel was putting on an act. The way she spoke this morning came off as a joke now so she had no reason to be upset over it. Still, she had to properly deal with Hazel speaking to her with such disrespect.
