บท 278: A Queen's Plea

"Your Grace, the Queen wanted to have some tea with the Duchess at the greenhouse," a servant said after they finished paying their respects to the dead. They were about to leave. "And His Majesty, the King, is inviting you into the gardens."

Rosalind looked at Lucas. The two could have just invited them together. Instead, they have given a separate invitation.

"I will personally send my wife to the Queen before I visit the King," Lucas answered. Since they arrived, he never once let go of her hand. Of course, this was not a problem, as holding him made her feel safer. Not long after, he took her to the greenhouse before leaving.

"Your Majesty," Rosalind curtsied at the woman sitting in the same spot where she sat the first time that Rosalind visited the place.

"Duchess, please take a seat." The Queen sounded gentle. "It seems that you have become even more beautiful," Queen Aurinda continued.
