Ronald did not want to be ignorant of what was happening around him again after seeing how badly hurt Ivan was last time.
With Ivan gone, all of Arabella's assistants rose and greeted her.
"Greeting to Your Majesty," they all bowed stiffly.
They felt embarrassed when they realized it must have been too obvious they were here because they were curious why Ivan was summoned.
[I did not think this through. What will Her Majesty say?]
[I was so focused on trying to learn why Ivan was summoned that I forgot to think that Her Majesty would realize why we were here earlier than supposed to be.]
[I got too confident because everyone else was going.]
[We should have waited until we were informed of what was going on. But what if it was something like last time?]
[Her Majesty won't get angry, right?]
Arabella's assistants grew nervous when they realized that they got too curious and impatient.
