"Please have a tea," said Eloise politely. "I feel so thirsty after the carriage ride."
She glanced at Karenina and smirked. The princess looked uncomfortable with her offer. So, Eloise took the cup in front of Karenina and switched it with hers.
She said, "You are smart for not easily trusting other people. I can drink the tea from your cup to show you that there is nothing in there. I didn't put poison in it... hahahaha."
Karenina batted her eyes. She wanted to say that she was not suspicious of Eloise, but she knew better than to lie. So she only nodded and took the other cup.
"Yeah.. sorry, you can never be too careful," Karenina said awkwardly.
Eloise drank her tea and then chuckled. "No, it's fine. As I said, it's smart. Don't easily trust a stranger."
